Serving Pickering & Durham Region

Quality Therapy for Pickering Residents

Pickering residents looking for a therapist face a familiar dilemma — decent options are either too far away, fully booked, or don't take extended health benefits. Garnet Counselling addresses all of that.

Andrew Garnet MSW, RSW provides in-person therapy at his Scarborough office, approximately 15 minutes west of Pickering via the 401. Virtual sessions are available for anyone who prefers to stay home. Andrew is accepting new clients now, and most new clients are seen within one to two weeks of their first call.

What Pickering Clients Come For

Trauma & PTSD

Andrew is EMDR-trained — one of the most evidence-backed approaches for processing trauma and PTSD. Many clients notice significant shifts within weeks.

Anxiety & Worry

Persistent anxiety, panic, and worry cycles respond well to CBT and ACT. Learn how to stop fighting your own mind and start living more freely.

Depression & Low Mood

More than just sadness. Andrew works with the full picture — sleep, motivation, meaning, relationships — to create genuine improvement, not just coping.

Couples Counselling

Communication breakdowns, trust issues, parenting conflicts. Couples therapy that focuses on real change, not just a referee.

First Responders & Veterans

Police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and veterans from Durham Region and beyond. Specialized, non-judgmental support.

Work-Related Stress & Burnout

Burnout is real, measurable, and treatable. If you're running on empty, therapy can help you recover — and prevent the next crash.
