Our Story
Welcome to Atia Counselling Centre! Est. 2008
A place where therapy is Positive, Non-Judgmental & Hopeful.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help people make the changes they want to see in their lives!
Meet Mark
My name is Mark. I am a registered Social Worker and the proud owner and Director of Atia Counselling Center. I am also a father, husband, and former professional soccer player whose mission is to help people help themselves.
My dream was to have a room with two chairs and a table—a place where I could sit with someone and help them with their challenges. Seventeen years later, I have been honoured to have helped over a thousand people in their most challenging times. Those conversations have been filled with insights, laughter, and a sports reference every once in a while.
I am now blessed to have more than one room that I share with amazing associates – expert therapists whom I respect and learn from daily. Together, we are united by a passion for helping others in a non-judgmental and positive way. We are committed to providing excellent, evidence-based therapy that provides a safe space, developing skills, and, most importantly, helps people walk away with hope.
My team and I would be honoured to help you. Contact us, and we’ll help you get started.
