Counselling Services for
Riverview Residents

Riverview is a close-knit, family-focused community where people value connection, nature, and a balanced way of life. Yet even in a supportive town, life can feel heavy at times. Between work, family commitments, school activities, and personal expectations, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure of your next steps. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Living in Riverview offers a quieter, calmer pace than neighbouring Moncton, but that doesn’t mean life is without challenges. We’re here to provide a safe, confidential space to talk, heal, grow, and find the support you need — at a pace that feels right for you.

SAGE offers a supportive and confidential space to explore challenges, learn coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Our services are confidential and available in three ways: in-person, by phone, and online. To help ensure a positive counselling experience, we offer SAGE SmartMatch® — our unique service that pairs you with the Masters or PhD-level counsellor best aligned with your needs, personality, goals, and schedule. Because finding the right fit for your counsellor isn’t just helpful… it’s essential to your success.

Why Riverview Residents Seek Counselling

Riverview is known for its warm community spirit, nature trails, and family-focused lifestyle. Yet many people feel pressure to keep up with a full schedule while managing their own emotional well-being in silence. Even in a supportive environment, it can be difficult to ask for help.

Common reasons Riverview residents seek counselling include:

Feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope with stress

Identity, self-esteem, belonging, or personal growth exploration

Workplace burnout, career changes, or job-related anxiety

Children and teen mental health, school pressures, or social confidence

Relationship, marriage, or communication challenges

Parenting concerns or family conflict

Difficulty balancing work, family, and personal expectations

Loneliness, adjustment, or lack of a support network for newcomers

Reaching out for support is a healthy and courageous step. Counselling offers practical tools, emotional insight, and a compassionate space to focus on your well-being.

What to Expect in Your First Counselling Session

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and some people in Riverview may feel nervous before their first session — that’s completely normal. Your first appointment will be a conversation focused on gathering information to get to know you. Your counsellor will explore your service needs and your goals in counselling and will provide the opportunity to share in a safe and confidential environment.

There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. You and your counsellor will begin to explore coping skills tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

With SAGE SmartMatch®, we help ensure the counsellor you meet is a good fit for your needs. Most people finish their first session feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about their path forward.
