Qualia Counseling
We offer support for any mental health issues you have and hold you back from experiencing a meaningful life. Find out how Qualia mental health services can help you take control of your future. At Qualia Counselling, we use the most evidence-based (science-proven) interventions to help you become your best self.

Chief among those is a psychotherapy model called Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). All of our psychotherapists have specialized training in CBT treatment and other best practice models. We will use our expertise in collaboration with yours to help you improve your life! Your Therapist will apply the tools of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you navigate current stressful, emotional and painful circumstances in your life.
Services
Mission: To unlock human potential and eliminate suffering in the world through cognitive behavioural, psychotherapy, teaching and training. Vision: A world in which all people are able to fully live out their lives as their most whole and authentic selves. At Qualia, there is always a place for you.
Your mind is magnificent, and along with the wondrous things our minds can do, unchecked we can develop systems of unhealthy thinking that make us unhappy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a model of psychotherapy built upon a proven and reliable set of techniques that focus on changing your mind thoughts (your interpretations and self-narrative) and your behaviours (your actions) so that you can lead a happier and fuller life.
Qualia Counselling is co-owned by Charity Fleming, Anishinaabe Kwe fromTreaty 3, Wabauskang First Nation. Charity is an intergenerational survivor of the residential school and sixties scoop programs, and has dedicated her life to aiding the recovery of indigenous people from experiences and impacts of historical trauma.
As a premium provider of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Ontario, we are now offering access to a library of free CBT resources. We create these resources to be accessible free of charge to other CBT professionals and clients. The following handouts were made to go with the Free CBT Series of videos posted on our YouTube channel.

Since going to Qualia, I am better equipped to manage the unique challenges, including changes to work and home routines, brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. I think Ezra provides outstanding service by helping me get back on my feet and by encouraging and demonstrating open communication (‘talk the talk and walk the walk’). I have successfully managed the issues that brought me to Qualia and I feel prepared to continue to manage my issues independently.
Thank you, Ezra.

I’ve been seeing one of the counsels for three times so far, it might still be early to tell but I feel very positive about what we’ve accomplished. Very excited for the rest of the journey

I could not express adequately in words how impressed I am with the quality offered at Qualia Kitchener. We have a child who has developed some severe anxiety and phobias. After much research, we decided on Qualia and are so incredibly happy we did. The connection and level of understanding from the moment we walked in the door was second to none. Ezra is like a wizard in how he communicates with our daughter and so much of what we learned is already proving its worth. I would recommend strongly giving Qualia the opportunity to help you through whatever it is you are seeking.

A close friend of mine told me that it is important to find a therapist that you connect with and feel comfortable with, which may take some trial and error. I was lucky to find Qualia Counselling Services (Kitchener) so early in my search! I immediately felt comfortable and started to see and feel results after just a few CBT sessions with Tanya. Their receptionists are so friendly and accommodating as well. Overall, I've had such a great experience with Qualia. Huge thank you!!

Really wasn't sure what to expect.
I wish I had started counselling at Qualia right from the start
My councilor (Sarah)is really easy to talk to and other staff I have dealt with have also been great
In the times of Covid I believe they are following protocols for the in office visits and that is a relief too.
I originally wondered about my age vs what I perceived from the Google photos.
After a couple visits its clear the patient's range from much younger to older than myself .
I recommend anyone debating a visit just do it, you are worth it .

My family doctor recommended CBT and specifically Qualia Counselling. After about 6 sessions, I was able to resolve some of my challenges. Since then, I've recommended their services to other colleagues of mine, and 5 others, who are executives, managers and professionals, have completed their CBT. It works and they're great!
