Are you struggling with relationship issues with your family, partner, friends, children or at work? Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship problems or other upsetting feelings sooner or later. I believe that counselling can assist you to achieve real lasting positive change from the inside.
Separation and divorce can be one of the roughest life transitions, and can make you feel like you're on an emotional roller coaster. I provide separation and divorce services with care and compassion, to help you and your family through this difficult time. These services include Views of the Child Reports, Parenting Plan Evaluations, Parent-Child Contact Problem (Reunification) Counselling, and Supervised Access.

I was attending counselling elsewhere before finding Marcy. I switched because I was not making much progress. Marcy seemed to understand me and my situation immediately. She provided a helpful and insightful perspective that I had not considered before about major challenges I was experiencing. With Marcy's support and understanding, I was able to wean off anti-depressants and feel much more positive about my life. I would highly recommend her for anyone feeling stuck.

Marcy was a very clear communicator, and helped us sort out a challenging co-parenting and visitation schedule for our daughter. She was direct, provided practical solutions, and was empathetic to our situation. She is skilled at helping families work through conflict so that children and co-parents can have a successful outcome after Divorce.

Highly Recommended...I have every confidence that Ms. Urbas gives 100% to her clients in order to facilitate a positive outcome for all involved. Not all outcomes resolve positively in ANY clinical setting...but in Ms. Urbas' case, a poor outcome would not be due to lack of effort on her part.
I would not hesitate to see her again or recommend her to people seeking her kind of help.
