What is Individual Counselling?

Individual Counselling is a one-on-one process where a trained therapist helps you address emotional difficulties, manage stress, and develop coping strategies. Through evidence-based techniques, it fosters self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal strength, making it an effective tool for mental wellness and recovery.

I would just like to commend the Echelon Wellness Clinic organization, for their new state of art facility at their new location at 555 Legget Drive in Kanata, and for very cordial and professional upbeat staff in the first stages of becoming a great facility that will be treating and supporting Veterans and the RCMP.

Being able to go to one location for many different treatments takes the stress and hassle of running around the city in an overly congested roadways. The front of the house is filled with healthy treats and drinks as well as coffee, comfy chairs and kind beautiful people who remember your name and very understanding of the red tape to get help. I cannot recommend this healthcare provider and also advocate to those that served and still serving.

From the moment I stepped in Echelon Wellness, the ambiance was serene and inviting. The facility is absolutely pristine and impeccably maintained. It is well-equipped with high-quality equipment and modern amenities. The entire staff are true subject matter experts who genuinely care about your wellness. The level of professionalism and care here is truly second to none.

I've been going to Echelon in Ottawa since they opened. The staff and medical specialists are professional, caring, and dedicated to supporting veterans. They assess and treat veterans' needs, both physical and mental. I highly recommend Echelon Wellness centres for any veteran seeking medical assistance.

Lisa Gill

Echelon is, by far, the best care provider for veterans I have encountered. They are a great help with navigating the bureaucratic maze that is veterans affairs, and provide all services in one location. The staff is very competent and friendly, the place is spotless, and the ladies working the front desk are guaranteed to make you smile.

I want to pass onto my fellow Veterans that it is a MUST to become involved with Echelon Wellness Kingston! The health professionals are outstanding, friendly, flexible appointments and a variety of services to assist with your Military Service injuries. It is amazing to know they are a call or message away to help. And its 100% covered through Blue Cross. You have to check it out!
Alan Macdonald

Echelon is an epic experience for this client. Professional, top draw. They called me in 1.5 hours after the intake form online. Quick followup needs assessment, next day chiropractic assessment. Client service is the best medical care I have received. Veteran-centric, demonstrably better than anything I have received before during and after my service. They deal with VAC /Blue Cross. Zero bureaucracy. All employees are super courteous. Highly recommend to all vet buddies of mine.
