Sojourn means ‘a temporary stay’.  Let this be a space where you can sojourn for awhile as you explore, change, grow, be your authentic self, and find your peace.  We want you to feel a sense of belonging, call on or develop your courage, be hopeful, find the meaning or purpose in your life and achieve wellness.  We provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment with understanding and respect. We are social beings with the goal of belonging and making a contribution to our community and society.  We shape our own destiny by being an active, not passive participant in our lives.  Our behaviour is goal directed, and our subjective view influences how we interpret events in our lives.  It is not what happens, but how one deals with it.  Sojourn Wellness has a holistic approach incorporating all aspects of the individual (psychological, social, emotional, physical and spiritual), and we are committed to services for multicultural/diverse clients.

TelePsychotherapy (Online/Distance Services) are easy to access, and studies show that it is effective. According to Hilty et al. (2013), “Telemental health is effective and increases access to care.” (Source: US National Institutes of Health National Library of Medicine, Telemedicine Journal and e-Health – The Effectiveness of Telemental Health: A 2013 Review) “Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, and patient satisfaction; it often saves time, money and other resources.” (Source: American Psychiatric Association – History of Telepsychiatry)

It is a pleasure and a privilege to have the opportunity to support you on your journey.

We invite you to stay as long as you need on your journey to wellbeing.

Be Well and Stay Safe!

Sojourn Wellness acknowledges that we are located on Turtle Island that has been the home to Indigenous Peoples from the beginning. We are grateful for the opportunity to work, practice and provide service to others on these lands. We appreciate the contributions and importance of Indigenous Peoples in shaping and strengthening Canada. We embrace cultivating meaningful relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Metis People in support of mental health and wellness in our communities. We encourage you to learn more about the rich Indigenous history and the land where we learn, play, and work.
