- What kinds of counseling problems and issues does NLC address?
Some of the areas that we can help you, in counseling, are marital, parent-child relationship, sibling relationships, budgeting, personal issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, stress, eating disorders, discouragement and others. In the event that we feel we can’t provide you the best care for your personal situation, we will help connect you with an agency that can better meet your needs.
- I’ve decided to come for help . . . what do I do now?
Call NLC 905-934-0021, during regular office hours ~ Monday – Friday; 9-4:30 to request services. You can also call after hours and leave a message. As soon as a counselor is available, you will be called to schedule an appointment.

If you are twelve years of age or younger, you will need written permission from your parent or guardian to participate in counseling.
