Why CCP?
As of 2020 CCP has a dual meaning; Carly Crawford Psychotherapy; Collaborative Clinical Practice. Carly started out in the field as Find Your Voice Counselling (FYVC) in 2009. The FYVC will always be in our email signatures and our website address as it's an important part of our foundation. Our history is important and we never want to forget the why behind CCP.

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 since 2009. I have seen first hand the need for people to receive timely and appropriate care. Although I work in the private sector of health care, my heart lies in helping every individual who needs it. Given this, I pride myself on offering psychotherapy and support that fills the gap in services and goes above and beyond so that everyone feels heard, supported and hopeful.
We offer something very unique at CCP as a collaborative. By coming in to see one of our practitioners you are also becoming part of our collaborative approach. You and your clinician have access to a wealth of information as we are continuously learning and consulting with each other to ensure we are giving the best care possible.
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 continue 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 helping people see how essential this part of health care is and I will forever be the voice for those that fall under the radar. Learn more about us by watching the video below.
