Upon completion of the program, a comprehensive court-recognized report will be provided to your lawyer indicating your progress and achievements.
The number of sessions ranges from 6 – 12 based on the charge and the program requires. Many key components are considered upon our consultation to create a customized program that is proven to assist in the best possible outcome.
We offer counselling programs for the following charges:
- Assault

- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- Criminal Harassment
- Sexual Harassment

Domestic Violence Therapy (PAR)
Therapy designed for individuals who have used violence or control in their relationships and are now seeking to make meaningful changes—often as part of a court mandate. In a supportive and structured environment, we help clients take responsibility for their actions, explore the underlying patterns that led to abusive behavior, and begin developing healthier ways of relating to others. This work is not about shame or blame; it’s about accountability, growth, and learning new tools to build respectful and nonviolent relationships.
- Our Substance Abuse Counselling Program is offered to help those who have been charged with Domestic Assault.
- This is a PAR (Partner Assault Response program) equivalent, and is court approved.
- This program is 12 sessions long and completed within 6 weeks.
- Sessions are private, one-on-one
- Delivered by a registered mental health professional
- Comprehensive 2 page report provided at the end
Anger Management Therapy
Anger management therapy helps individuals who struggle with intense or frequent anger learn how to respond rather than react. If your anger has affected your relationships, work, or personal well-being—or if you’ve been mandated to attend therapy—we provide a structured, supportive space to understand what’s driving those responses. Together, we identify triggers, explore underlying emotions, and build practical tools to manage conflict and stress more effectively.
- Our Anger Management Therapy program is offered to help those who have been charged with assault.
- This program is eight sessions long and completed within 4 weeks.
- Sessions are private, one-on-one
- Delivered by a registered mental health professional

How The Court-Ordered Counselling Process Works
Therapy at Atia Counselling Centre is private, client-centred, and one-on-one. We focus on your needs exclusively and make sure that you get the results you need. The basic process for working with us can be outlined in four steps:
- You’ll have a consultation with Mark Atia (our practice owner and clinical director) to understand your situation and legal requirements and determine the right program for you (most programs are between 8 to 12 sessions).
- Mark will contact your lawyer or paralegal to let them know that you’ve begun therapy.
- You’ll meet your therapist and have your first session.
- You’ll complete the rest of your therapy sessions (most programs are between 8-12 sessions), and then a tailored and comprehensive report discussing your insights and achievements will be sent to your lawyer or paralegal for use in court.
