About
Spirit Psychological is a team of registered psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and speech-language pathologists in Halifax offering individual, couple and family therapy, trauma support including EMDR, assessments, and behavioural counselling for clients across the lifespan.
Senior Care Path Summary
Spirit Psychological welcomes clients across all ages, including elders. Several clinicians explicitly list older adults in their client populations and specialise in areas common to seniors, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress management, life transitions, and relationships. The practice offers flexible appointment options including daytime, evening and weekend sessions, with both in-person and virtual/phone availability to accommodate mobility or scheduling needs. The office is located at street level with free parking nearby and close to bus routes, helpful for seniors with limited transportation. Some clinicians provide nature walk and talk sessions and work with therapy dogs to support emotional wellbeing. While not a geriatric specialist clinic, Spirit Psychological provides trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR for processing difficult experiences, which can be valuable for older adults. The team actively pursues ongoing professional development and uses evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming approaches. Sessions are held in warm, comfortable spaces designed for relaxation rather than clinical settings.

Heather Boucher is beyond wonderful - kind, comfortable, welcoming, knowledgeable. She speaks to you as a person and a peer, and I very much trust her with my child and his psychological health. The receptionist, Laura, is also so very kind and welcoming - we feel very comfortable and valued as a client of Spirit.

We came for our very first appointment with Anita this evening and right from the moment we checked in we felt welcomed and comfortable. We chatted with the receptionist (Chantel I think… I’m sorry I’m horrible with names) and she was so pleasant and chatty. We then had a great very comfortable meeting with Anita and her pup Maggie. Our son usually takes a bit to warm up but he seemed very safe and willing to chat. Cant wait for our next appointment. Thank you ladies

Very welcoming environment and incredible staff. Very happy with the services I've received and will continue to turn to this amazing team, Anita in particular, for support and resources. I have already recommended Anita to others, and will continue to do so as she is an amazing therapist!
