For Therapists
Building a Trusted Referral Network
Strong referral relationships depend on knowing what each practice offers. When therapists understand each other's areas of focus, clients are connected with the right support sooner and are less likely to feel passed from one office to another. This page outlines the services we provide at Clear Horizons and the areas where we welcome referrals from other practitioners.
Our Areas of Focus
Our counsellors provide support in three main areas.
-
We offer couples and marriage counselling grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, supporting couples through significant conflict, broken trust, and emotional distance.
-
We provide discernment counselling for couples where one partner is leaning out of the relationship and the other is leaning in.
-
We offer individual counselling for adults who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
When We Refer to Other Therapists
We believe clients are best served when they work with a counsellor whose training matches their needs. When a client's concerns fall outside our areas of focus, we let them know during the initial consultation and help them find an appropriate practitioner rather than beginning work that may not be the right fit.
This is why we value connections with therapists who specialize in areas we do not. If your practice offers services that complement ours, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your work.
How Referrals Work Between Practices
Our referral process is informal and does not require any paperwork.
-
You can refer a client by sharing our name and phone number, or you can email us first if you would like to confirm the fit.
-
We will let you know if a concern falls outside our scope and suggest other options where we can.
-
When one of our clients would benefit from your services, we will refer them to you in the same way.
If we have not worked together before, a brief email introducing your practice is a great place to start.
Our Approach to Couples Counselling
Couples work is the most common reason therapists refer clients to our clinic. Our approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which helps couples recognize the patterns they fall into rather than focusing on individual arguments. We meet with couples together, and if we feel individual work would be more helpful first, we discuss that openly at the start.
If you are already working with one partner individually, that relationship remains with you. Keeping these roles separate protects the work each of us is doing and prevents clients from receiving conflicting guidance. When a partner needs individual support that is not currently in place, we may be able to help with that as well.
Connecting With Our Clinic
You can reach us by email at info@clearhorizons.ca or by phone at 778-705-2089. If you would prefer to meet and learn more about each other's practices, we are happy to arrange a time to talk. Getting to know one another makes it much easier to refer clients with confidence.
Practical Information for Referring Therapists
The following details may be helpful when referring a client.
