Carter’s Counselling Grand Opening at New Location

Carter’s Counselling was founded by Katharine Carter, who is a social worker by training. Katharine recognized that, naturally, many services and supports exist in large urban centers such as Saskatoon; however, access to resources is more limited in smaller communities such as Martensville and area. Katharine lives locally and has made it her mission to ensure that Martensville and surrounding areas also have access to counselling, mental health services and other resources. Carter’s Counselling was created out of this social work value: that everyone should have equal access to services, regardless of where they live.

Carter’s Counselling has officially moved and ready to serve clients in their new space with ample parking and will continue to provide the same exceptional mental health services.

A Grand Opening will be held on Saturday, July 22 from 10am-12pm. Balloon Funn by Warren will be there from 10-11am as well as coffee, muffins and a few counsellors available to answer any questions you may have.

They offer in person, phone and virtual appointments. Check out their website to book through their online booking system at https:carterscounsell ingservices.ca/
