Great Lakes Counselling and Consultation Services Brings Essential Support Closer to Simcoe Residents with Central Office Move
New Address: 191 Queensway West Lower Level, Simcoe, ON N3Y 2M8
SIMCOE, ONTARIO – July 1, 2025 – Great Lakes Counselling and Consultation Services (GLCCS), a leading provider of compassionate mental health and wellness support, is thrilled to announce its relocation to a new, centrally located office within Simcoe, Ontario. This strategic move significantly enhances accessibility for the community it serves.
Previously situated just outside of town in a more rural setting, the practice has now moved right into Simcoe’s west side, close to a main intersection (Queensway West and Queen Street). This transition places GLCCS directly within easy reach of the bulk of Simcoe residents, eliminating barriers related to travel distance and making accessing vital counselling and consultation services more convenient than ever.
Enhanced Convenience for Simcoe Residents:
-
Central Location: No longer requiring travel to the outskirts, residents can now easily access appointments during lunch breaks, after work, or between errands.
-
Improved Accessibility: The new location is designed to be more accessible via public transit, walking, or shorter driving distances for most Simcoe residents.
-
Community Integration: Being situated within the town core allows GLCCS to be more visibly present and integrated into the daily life of the Simcoe community.
“We listened to our clients and recognized the need for a more central hub,” said Tara Tefler of Great Lakes Counselling and Consultation Services. “Moving right into Simcoe reflects our commitment to removing obstacles to care. We want accessing high-quality mental health support to be as straightforward and stress-free as possible for the people of Simcoe and the surrounding area. This location makes it significantly easier for individuals and families seeking our services to get the help they need, right where they live.”
Continued Commitment to Outlying Areas:
While celebrating the enhanced access for Simcoe residents, GLCCS emphatically reaffirms its commitment to serving clients from throughout Norfolk County and beyond. Understanding that travel to town may still pose challenges for some, the practice continues to offer flexible remote and virtual appointment options via secure video platforms.
-
Virtual Sessions: Clients residing in rural areas surrounding Simcoe, or those with mobility, transportation, or scheduling constraints, can continue to receive the same high standard of care through confidential virtual sessions.
-
Flexibility & Choice: GLCCS empowers clients to choose the format that best suits their needs and circumstances – in-person at the convenient new Simcoe office or virtually from the comfort of their own home.
