My name is Carly Crawford and I created CCP because I am passionate about helping individuals battling mental illness.
When it comes time to seek help and support for life’s many challenges, there are often several barriers in our way. Shame, guilt, confusion, time, and money can all stand in the way of getting the help you need.
My goal is to try and make Psychotherapy available to anyone who feels they are in need and ready to do the work to heal their mind and find their voice.
In 2020 CCP expanded to offer a team approach to care. We now sit a team of 9 professionals from various education backgrounds, experiences and approaches. This team of practitioners all work together to provide an environment for our clients that is judgement free, accessible and open. We pride ourselves on SAFETY, ACCEPTANCE & RESPECT for all. As one of the few practices providing in-person care we pride ourselves on providing a safe, calming and professional environment.

The story
Why I'm Here
There are many reasons why I decided that I wanted to go into Private Practice. Going through the mental health system and subsequently working in a not-for-profit environment helped me to narrow my interests and pursue more training. My work as the Executive Director of Danielle’s Place Eating Disorder Support and Resource Centre helped me to see the need that individuals had to feel supported, heard, and helped.
I have sat on various boards and worked in Mental Health Advocacy for more ten years and I see the need that people have to receive timely and appropriate care. Although I work in a for profit industry, my heart lies in helping every individual who needs it. Given this I pride myself on offering Psychotherapy at a cost that is more accessible than most Psychotherapists providing this level of care.
As a clinic we opened at the start of the pandemic in 2020. We saw first hand how the mental health services around us fell apart and how the demand for care increased yet again. We are continuing to collaborate as a team to support each other and our community through building programming and having a team committed to safe, respectful and evidenced based care.
I am passionate about bringing changes to our healthcare system and will forever be the voice for those that fall under the radar. Learn more about us by watching the video below.
