Our History
Our founder and Practice Director, Talisa Haskins began her private practice in March 2020. Recognizing a growing need for mental health supports, Talisa formed an online practice to stay connected when we couldn't stay together.
In March 2022, her solo practice grew into a group practice, and the Journey Counselling and Psychotherapy was born.
Talisa is a travel enthusiast, she has been to over 30 countries with a goal to visit many more. When considering a name for the practice, her love of travel and her love of mental health and healing collided. "The Journey" stands for the path that we walk in our lives. Individual and unique for each of us. The content shared throughout our website is consistently infused with these ideals and inspiration.
Welcome to our Journey. Thanks for being here.
