Who might benefit from getting an assessment?

Assessments can be helpful if you've noticed ongoing difficulties with focus, organization, mood, or relationships, or if you've had long-standing questions about whether ADHD, anxiety, depression, or another condition may be part of your experience. They can also be useful if you're seeking a clearer picture to guide therapy, school, or workplace accommodations.

What happens during the assessment process?

We usually begin with an in-depth interview to learn about your personal history, current challenges, and goals. Depending on your needs, we may then use questionnaires or standardized tests or talk to someone else in your life who can give us further insight (e.g., parent, partner, health care professional). Afterward, you'll receive clear feedback about the results and recommendations for next steps, such as therapy strategies, lifestyle supports, or accommodations at school or work.

Will I get a diagnosis?

If the results clearly point to a specific condition, such as ADHD or depression, we can provide a formal diagnosis. In some cases, the results may show overlapping patterns without a single label. Either way, you'll leave with a clear explanation and practical recommendations that can help you move forward.

Does Good Days offer assessments that evaluate autism and learning difficulties?

No, those assessments require completing a comprehensive Psychological Assessment that evaluates overall functioning, including cognitive and neuropsychological domains. Currently, Good Days focuses Psychological Assessments on Adult ADHD and psychodiagnostic/mental health concerns (e.g., mood disorders, substance use disorders, PTSD).

Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy involves meeting for your therapy session outdoors, in a pre-determined location, where we walk on a path in a park or find a comfortable spot to sit as we engage in talk therapy. As your relationship with nature grows and changes, our sessions can as well. No matter what, we’ll always centre our work around your specific goals.

Do I need to bring anything for an Ecotherapy session?

You may want to consider bringing the following:

In all weather, bring close-toed, comfortable shoes/boots.
When the weather is hot, bring breathable clothing, sunscreen, hat, water bottle, and insect repellent (if desired).
When the weather is cold, bring insulating clothing, gloves, hat, scarf, boots, sunscreen, and a water bottle.
When the temperature varies (i.e., fall and spring), bring lots of layers.

What if the weather is terrible on the day of my Ecotherapy session?

Good question! If you’re not feeling like an Ecotherapy session is right because of the weather, we ask for a minimum of 90-minutes notice to reschedule the session to a virtual appointment.

We will need to reschedule to a virtual appointment if the following weather conditions occur:

Wind speeds of 35 km/h or higher.
Wind gusts of 60 km/h or higher.
Temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius (not including wind chill).
Temperatures that indicate a heat wave (30°C or higher for several days or a humidex rating of 40 or higher).
Hazardous trail conditions (e.g., excessive iciness on the trails and other conditions, such as flash foods, that could pose a safety risk).

How do I get started

Start by filling out an intake form and choosing any of the therapists you’d like to connect with that provide Ecotherapy. Each therapist will email you within 48-hours to schedule a time and day for a phone consultation (10-15 minutes). From there you can learn more about each other and see who is the best fit for your needs.

Location specifics and an exact meeting location, along with a map, will be included in your booking confirmation.

Please note: All new clients require an Initial Consultation and Intake Session (conducted virtually) before booking their first Ecotherapy session.

Do we have to roll/walk the whole time?

Not at all! Both route options have benches at the beginning and midpoint of the route. We can sit for part or all of the session. It’s up to you!

Can I suggest my own Ecotherapy route?

While we understand the desire to choose your own Ecotherapy route, we unfortunately cannot modify the existing paths for safety reasons. We regularly review the paths we have chosen to ensure that you will have as safe, private, and enjoyable an experience as possible. We are open to suggestions about new paths and are happy to consider their feasibility in the future.

Would I benefit from Ecotherapy?

Ecotherapy may be a good fit for you if:

You know spending time outside feels good to you;
You appreciate a more flexible approach to therapy outside of a conventional office;
You want to explore your connection with the natural environment as part of your work in therapy; and/or
You feel that eco-anxiety or climate anxiety contribute to your mental health concerns.

If Ecotherapy is not the right choice of therapy for you, that's okay! When we meet for our intake appointment, we will explore your goals for therapy and determine a path forward together.
