Reviews of Reflection Centre - Psychotherapy & Counselling (Psychiatrist)

Meredith Taylor

The Reflection Centre and specifically Deborah and Victoria have provided attentive, focussed and professional help during an incredibly difficult time. The individual, couple and group therapy have been transformational and I will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend their services highly enough.

Structured, patient and 100% intentional. Deborah and her team of professionals at the Reflection Centre seriously take the time to get to know your background before diving into any "desired state." I have worked with a few professionals from the Reflection Centre over many years and Deborah's team has always been my guiding light. The Reflection Centre has a warm and comforting presence, which has made it easy for me to honestly open up about my life's struggles. With a wealth of knowledge and resources to pull from, I have always found guidance when uncovering my true potential. Highly recommend for anyone who wants practical help and is looking to experience a more fulfilling and meaningful life!

The Reflection Centre helped me cope with a rough patch in my life. I ended up joining a ladies group therapy class by recommendation and it was the best decision I made! Deborah and Victoria were amazing and led the group. They were both honest, caring, nurturing, loving and mlst importantly helpful. Group was such an amazing experience, not only did it help me deal with my issue and open my eyes to life's uncertainty it also helped me gain friendships. To me it was the best of all worlds. After my experience with the Reflection Centre and group therapy, I highly recommended it to anyone! Therapy saved my life and I am forever grateful!

I am so thankful for being referred to such an amazing group. The reflection centre has really helped my on my journey to healing my heart and soul. I can’t thank everyone enough, especially Deborah and Victoria for all the loving kindness and compassion they have shown me since I first came to the reflection centre going on four years ago. I have had the pleasure of one on one therapy as well as being a part of two group therapies which have helped me immensely. I have come so far from where I started and I am so thankful for everything the reflection centre has done to help make that happen. I have met some really great people along the way too. I look forward to continuing my journey to self healing and learning to be the best version of me I can be. Love and light to all of you for all the guidance and love you have shown me. I am forever great full!!

A bit of background on me: Due to some childhood trauma, I have been in and out of therapy since I was 10 years old. Between the ages of 22-25 I was married, in a car accident that resulted in the loss of a limb, a mother of two children, divorced, and a suddenly single (but very blessed) mom to a 6 month old and a 3 year old. I have seen all kinds in Barrie-psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, etc. I found most of them to be cold, impersonal, and generally uncaring. I wanted someone who cared (or even pretended to), not a cold couch that reminded me of scenes from a movie. And, then in my forties and long since having given up on ‘therapy’, it was recommended that I call Deb at the Reflection Centre. I was struggling to maintain a healthy parent/child relationship with my teenaged daughter and this was undeniably and unbelievably the best decision I ever made. It changed the way I communicated with my daughter and changed the trajectory of our relationship. And that was only the beginning of my path to healing, forgiveness (of myself and others), and growth. Thanks to Deb, my now adult daughter and I have an incredibly strong relationship and the tools I’ve gained have helped me in every relationship I have, whether it’s with coworkers, family, or friends. If you’re someone who knows they’ll never be ‘perfect’ but you also desire growth and want to be better, I highly recommend The Reflection Centre. They won’t just recommend a book and criticize you when you don’t do your “homework”. Thanks, team, I wouldn’t want to share my life’s struggles with anyone else. You restored my belief that counselling can and does help!

How do I begin to describe how Deb helped me change my life?! Before going to see her I was a closed book, obsessed with keeping struggles to myself and being the one people turned to in their darkest hour never asking for things in return. My sessions with Deb helped me realize my self worth, to get in touch with my emotions and learn that sharing/being vulnerable with the people I'm close to isn't a weakness but a strength. Due to this my bonds with my family and friends have strengthened and I feel the abundance of support surrounding me.. Definitely recommend.

Deb Alton unknowingly triggered a lot of past traumas for me and I did not enjoy the experience at all and will not recommend the service and will never go back. Edit: I have since changed my last name and have a very unique first name, I won’t be hard to find. I worked directly with Deb and i will not call and discuss any concerns. I’m not concerned I just had a bad experience. I had this experience just over a year ago with Deb and it’s never stopped bothering me. A year later I finally leave a review and get a reply that insinuates I’m lying about ever being a client there. I stand by what I said and would not recommend nor go back.

I've been seeing Deb at Reflection Centre for several years now and have had an amazing experience! I love the friendly and homey feel the centre provides, which is different from the more stuffy office like practises i've been to before. Also, very happy that they've embraced technology so i can continue my appointments during Covid. Will continue to recommend!

I am thankful for the Reflection Centre's guidance for our family over the last 6 months. Our children love coming to see their therapist and my husband and I have been able to work through the most challenging time of our lives. The team is compassionate yet challenged us, which is exactly what we needed. We also appreciated their flexibility in accommodating our ever changing schedules.

I am so thankful to have found such a warm a caring place to help me during one of the most difficult times in mine and my family’s life. I will be forever grateful to Deborah.
