Our focus is client centred care

In 2006, Hope for Families Counselling Centre started with a goal of providing services to fill gaps in our community therapy services. Over time, we have evolved into Holly Blue Psychotherapy Group.

Our Story

2006

A Therapy Centre is Born

Holly started Hope for Families Counselling Centre, a small therapy centre focused on client centred care in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

2015

Registered Psychotherapists

Our profession is regulated in Ontario by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

2017

Expanding Collaborative Care

We became members of the Psychotherapy Matters Virtual Clinic program and teamed up to access psychiatric assessments with our clients.

2018

Expanded Office Space & Team

We moved to an office in Waterloo and started taking students for their therapy practicums. Many former students have since joined our team.

2020

Switch to Virtual Care

When Covid pandemic started, we transitioned to virtual care. This paved the way to our online therapy practice, removing barriers to access and allowing us to provide therapy services across Ontario.

2026

Renaming our Practice

As our team has expanded, we have changed our name to better reflect our group practice with therapists who have a variety of skills, interests, and specializations.

The Future of our Group

As we continue to grow, we bring together a variety of therapists who meet the needs of Ontarians looking for online therapy and mental health support.

Our Identity

Holly Blue Butterfly
