Individual Counselling
This is an opportunity to explore your current challenges and goals. We will work together and examine your inner and outer worlds while working towards new skills and ways of coping. We can explore current challenges together as well as how your history has impacted your present.
All services are LGBTQ2+-positive. All relationship structures and dynamics are welcome. Come as you are and let's work together to unpack what is happening for you
Services
Relationships / Couples
You don't need to be locked in struggle. In couples therapy we will work together to explore current relationship dynamics and challenges. The relationship is the client. Rather than being locked in a dance, we will work together to develop new ways of communicating through relationship challenges
Sex Therapy (Coming Soon)
Free 20-Minute Consultation
A free, no pressure chance to chat before you book your first session. This is an opportunity for me to learn a little about what you are looking for and for you to get a sense of whether I am a good fit for you. If you prefer, you are always welcome to book your first session without doing a consultation first.

As part of the assessment process, I will meet with you and your partner(s) individually after our initial session together. Please note that these sessions are not considered individual therapy and are charged the relationship counselling rate. Both individual and group assessment sessions are booked for 50 minutes.
Payment and Insurance
Payment can be made by any major credit card or e-transfer. All payment for counselling services are due at the time of the session. A full receipt will be emailed to you within 24 hours of payment.
Insurance
Many health benefit plans will reimburse you for RSW counselling services. Check with your plan provider before your first session to ensure that your plan covers the Registered Social Worker (RSW) designation, through the BCCSW. Please note that I do not bill insurance companies directly, but will provide you with an official receipt at the end of each session that you can use to request reimbursement.
Reduced Rate Counselling
I offer sliding scale, reduced rate counselling to a limited number of clients. If you find yourself in need of a reduced rate, please email me at aisha.gardezy@gmail.com to discuss this possibility.
As a Registered Social Worker (#14783), all session fees are set in accordance with recommendations by the British Columbia College of Social Workers (BCCSW).
