The kids have fun at Music Therapy with Aimee. Music can be used as an effective way to communicate! I like that families have access to a range of therapies at Crossroads Collective.

Shannon Lawrence is a fantastic children’s therapist. We’ve benefited from her creative and direct approaches in working with anxiety and PTSD.

I came to crossroads because my 4 year old son was struggling with not seeing his dad. Shannon has been able to help my son during this difficult time and even his daycare has made comments about the change in him too. I am so grateful for Shannon and crossroads for being there for my son!

Nadine has had such a positive impact on our anxious daughter. She has given us practical strategies and ways to help our daughter (and us!) cope with her big worries. Our daughter absolutely loves her sessions with Nadine (and your pups!) Thank you for your kindness, experience, and ability to instil confidence in our daughter!

My experience (online) has been nothing short of pleasant and helpful. I truly could not recommend them more.

I have been going through a very hard time and I have never reached out for extra help but today it got to be too much and I searched online for a counselor which led me here. I called in tears and unfortunately I cannot remember if her name was Cindy and Sandy but she calmed me down right away, and set me up for an appointment with Stacey who was a very comforting person. I’m very grateful for their quick action and I’m excited to see where things go.

If I could give 5+ stars I would. The office is clean and always very calm. I don't normally have to interact with the office staff but when I do they have been very sweet and helpful! To the important part... I've been seeing Jeanne, since the end of August 2022. I had such an awful experience with therapy when I was a teen, that I was soooo scared to give it another chance. After my first appointment with Jeanne, I knew that this was going to be so good for me in the long run. She's really good at making me feel heard, and help organize my feelings and thoughts. I reaaaaallly am working on just being more self-aware and putting a self-care action plan into place and having Jeanne there every week has definitely helped me with my accountability. I'm really glad that I have her in my corner, because I honestly believe that a lot of my happiness now is due to the work we've been doing in therapy.

Amazing. Super helpful office staff. Was comfortable and welcoming. We were matched up with Lisa and it’s been a wonderful experience so far. My Husband and I are looking forward to continuing our work with Lisa in our sessions. I think that speaks for itself.

It makes such a difference having the opportunity to talk about every day situations that seem normal but are actually creating a lot of stress in our daily lives. Shannon has been amazing, listening patiently and asking the right questions to help me understand how to manage my expectations. She’s also given me tools and tips to improve my daily habits and I can finally feel myself again.I am a better person, mom and partner.I highly recommend her services.

Both of my young daughters see Shannon Lawrence for play therapy to assist with general anxiety and one for OCD. Both of my girls love going and are always excited to go to their appointments, they are always very disappointed when it is time to leave. Having children struggle with anxiety is very emotional as a parent, Shannon has been very supportive and creative with how she is helping not only my kids, but myself and my spouse combat the challenges and individual needs of my kids. I cannot recommend her enough, she is absolutely amazing!

My child received very good services from Mansi Parekh at crossroads collective. She is so friendly and polite and my child learns a lot from her. I wish if we can continue services from Mansi but because of moving I can’t bring my child again there and my child miss that place a lot he always miss the time he spend during session. I Want to says thanks to Mansi Parekh to teach so many things to my child.

Absolutely AMAZING! With COVID our son has experienced extreme anxiety and Cassandra at Crossroads Collective has helped make such a difference in his and our lives. Our son looks forward to his weekly sessions and the improvement with his anxiety has been amazing. The skills he takes home is something he is really leaning into and even sharing with the family. Our son is very comfortable in the office, and thankfully Cassandra is very welcoming and allows a little couch jumping and some science experiments to keep him engaged.We highly recommend Cassandra and Crossroad Collective!

My 5 year old daughter started seeing Shannon from Crossroads after she was showing signs of separation anxiety. Shannon really helped her to use her words when she is feeling nervous and different strategies to help in those situations. Thank you so much Shannon, the progress has been wonderful!

My son started seeing Shannon for play therapy to help him cope with his big emotions. He loves going and I have seen him working on goals that he has set with her. I feel more confident as a parent knowing that he has someone to talk to about things that he might not be ready to share with me. Everyone at the office has always been super helpful and friendly. I’m so glad that my friend recommended Crossroads Collective.

I recently went to Crossroads Collective and had a group reading with Melissa. The experience was life changing and I was able to get closure on a recently deceased family member. It was such a relief for me to process my grief and know that my loved one is in a good place. I highly recommend her for group or individual readings with a counselor.Lisa M.

The offices are clean and quiet with a relaxed and therapeutic atmosphere. The professional staff are kind and helpful with flexible hours. We took time to choose the right therapist for our child. Shannon is warm and calm, she established a strong connection with our child from the start. We have come to rely on her as a crucial member of our care team. She offers consistent and practical approaches for our child to learn about herself and the world around her. Shannon has been a strong support in our lives as we navigate anxiety, ADHD and an understaffed school district.

My son is a teen and sees Nadine Viker. She's approachable and engaging with my teen (which can be challenging with this age). He can really relate to her and finds her easy to talk with her. He has appointments with her alone and with me as well. She helps to mediate issues between us as needed and I love that she'll call either of us out if we're the one out of line. She's also saved my sanity with some parenting sessions as well. I would definitely recommend Nadine as a counsellor.

After a couple years of my son struggling in peer environments, I decided to reach out to Crossroad Collective for some Play Therapy/Anxiety support. We met with Lisa initially, who instantly made us comfortable and took the time to listen to our needs. She paired us up with a fabulous Counsellor, Shannon, that was familiar with the school district dynamic as well. My son felt very comfortable with Shannon and we both noticed some positive changes through out the months of sessions. We have reached a point that sessions are no longer required, to which I give all the credit to Shannon and the clinic. Should we ever need future support, I will not hesitate to come back. The hours are flexible, which works for busy families. The physical space itself is also expanding and beautiful!

Tj Sandhu has helped me in ways that I cannot explain. In simply 3 sessions, she has already pulled me out of a place that I didn’t think I could get out of. She’s so caring and you feel so comfortable around her. I would recommend her to anyone. I’m so happy I found her as I will be keeping her as my counsellor as long as I can throughout life.

I researched numerous counselling centres online and ultimately decided to contact Crossroads Collective based off their positive reviews. After calling them, I was impressed with how quickly Shannon Lawrence connected with me for an initial consultation. Shannon was easy to talk to and completely understanding of the situation. My son struggles with anxiety, but was totally at ease around Shannon from the very beginning. Her approachable and enthusiastic nature has exceeded expectations; my son always looks forward to his play therapy sessions!

Both of my daughters go to Crossroads Collective and I often recommend their services to others. My youngest is Autistic and sees Shannon for play therapy and behavioural consulting and she has made such a difference in our home life by helping Sophie be able to express her emotions in a more functional manner. Sophie looks forward to her time with her and we love and appreciate all the gains we are seeing at home. I am seriously so thankful for the insight she has given me into our girl during our conversations as well.My oldest is a preteen and sees Nadine for counselling. She has anxiety and Nadine has been teaching her tools to cope with her anxiety and work through it. Recently we had to start going a little less frequently and my daughter was very sad to not be able to see Nadine each week. I would say that itself shows how much she feels Nadine is helping her.Everyone I have had contact with at Crossroads have been professional and warm, my girls love it there and I can’t recommend them enough.

I hard a time finding a place for my girls and I was recommended by a friend to here and I have been impressed. My oldest daughter sees Shannon and she has been amazing with her. My daughter is very comfortable and happy to see her. Shannon has been understanding, gentle and listens to what she has to say and works with my daughter in ways to combat her anxiety.

Shannon is amazing!! My daughter looks forward to her sessions with such excitement every week. I feel so blessed to have stumbled across a Facebook post on the Langley moms group that lead us to her. I have noticed a huge improvement in my daughter’s behaviour and anxiety since working with Shannon and am so happy with her progress. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Honestly, I had called numerous places to inquire about play therapy for my child. And no one was getting back to me. I found Crossroads Collective’s number , and thought maybe I’d give it one last shot. They returned my call immediately. And from the second I heard Shannon’s voice I immediately felt comfortable and knew it was a great fit. There was a good reason no one had called me back from the other businesses. Shannon is friendly, understanding, empathic and great at listening and trying to address our concerns. My child has developed a great relationship with Shannon, in a short period of time, and is comfortable talking to her and is using some of the tools Shannon has suggested for her. I appreciate the time and effort Shannon puts into our appointments and helps provide me with with great material, links, strategies and tools that I can use to assist my child, and our family. I would highly recommend Shannon and her team at Crossroads! We are so thankful for their services.

AMAZING! I had been having so much trouble finding a team that could help me an my children, for anxiety, behaviours and just general wellness. Super understanding about my financial situation too. After several years of trying to find consistant help for my son, I now finally have that. Nadiene has been spectacular with him! And Lisa was a force to help me get the support I needed, making a case with my EAP progamme to get more sessions as they were being unethical.And what can I say about Kelsy, Nadine's therapy dog? Just wow! What a natural. not only putting my children at ease in an unfamilar surrounding but I could tell she also knew that I was down.What an amazing team at Crossroads. I can't thank them enough!

Shannon has been amazing to work with. We were struggling with behaviours with my child who has anger issues. She helped him self regulate his emotions but also gave us parenting strategies that really helped. We would recommend her in a heart beat. We were also so pleased how she supported our family's emotional well being during the pandemic. She has a magic way of communicating with our child and helping us understand him better.

Nadine has been working with my 10 year old for about a year. She has been doing wonders for our child and our family, helping us implement schedules and appropriate natural consequences. She has taken so much of the drama out of our lives by making things clear and concise for our child with ADHD. Thank you Nadine!!
