About Us
Founder and Clinical Director Kim Sargent launched the practice in 1997 at St. Joseph’s Hospital Peterborough ON. It grew rather quickly and with it, our approach, which was later coined Neural Network Therapy®.
Most people approach behavioural change by employing self-discipline, which is both time-consuming and expensive. Self-discipline is fleeting, at best. Learning to get on the right side of science means working with the brain’s habit-forming ways. It means harnessing motivation, and knowing when to give yourself some room to breathe.
We have a team of Counsellors known as Emotional Health Practitioners, and each have their respective areas of expertise. Finding the right person for you is our first order of business. To speak to someone directly, contact our offices at 705-740-8360 or grow@canadianfamilyhealth.ca. To choose your own visit our online booking system.
We know more about the brain than ever before. It only makes sense that as neuroscience evolves, therapy does too.
“Neural Network Therapy® was designed to disrupt. We want to grow our emotional intelligence in order to outgrow our need for therapy. ”
~Kim Sargent Founder of Neural Network Therapy® and Clinical Director of Canadian Family Health Counselling

Carolyn is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and so helpful. I can't say enough good things. Booking and accessing appointments is super easy. I would definitely recommend Carolyn to any family or individual who needs someone to talk to and who you know will be there for you when you need them.

I have been a long time client of Canadian Family Health Collective. I have grown so much in many ways with learning and development areas in my personal life and professional career. They have great services for counselling and have taught me how to nurture well-being. I love the feed on Facebook.
The entire CFHC Team is amazing!!

Would definitely recommend the Canadian Family Health Collective! The Grow Happy program is also part of the organization. This program teaches kids about how moods are contagious, while also teaching them about healthy, mood-boosting foods, and encouraging them to learn to grow and share their own food. Truly wonderful, starting this mental health education with kids and through to adulthood!

I am always impressed with their approach to counseling. I leave feeling like I understand better what is happening and what I can do to change my situation. The whole concept of creating new neuro pathways by thinking new thoughts and doing new things is brilliant and makes so much sense to me . It really helps me to understand and feel like I am in control of my own life. I can control what I do today to begin to set up a new and better future for myself . This has literally changed my life .

I first learned about the Canadian Family Health Collective in 2019. I was really pleased when they expanded their services abroad in 2020, so much so I had to get involved in their Emotional Health Matters project. Highly recommend their teachings and services. Life-changing.

Canadian Family Health Counselling, good therapy is all about helping the client to feel better, to make healthy decisions and set healthy boundaries, to move from a place of poor emotional health to good emotional health, to make connections with others, and to replace sadness, anxiety, anger, and frustration with happiness, peace, and hopefulness for the future. I feel the Canadian Family Health team works very hard at meeting these goals. I would highly recommend Canadian Family Health.

Canadian Family Health Counselling is a wonderful group of talented practitioners that knows their stuff. I have worked with them for over 4 years and always insightful sessions.. I do see one negative review however I think they must be talking about another company as this one is probably the one I would trust the most with billing etc. Anyways, Kim and the staff members are excellent to work with on a down to earth level.

I highly recommend Ms. Sargeant and her practice. She truly cares, listens, and offers great insight. She is honest, kind and yet still has a talent for helping you to examine yourself, your choices, and your relationships, with life changing applications.
