NSTG was built around the idea that counsellors shouldn't have to choose between the independence of private practice and the connection of being part of a community. We provide a professional space without the overhead and commitment of maintaining your own office, along with opportunities to connect with other counsellors.
​
Your practice stays yours.​
​
Each counsellor at NSTG maintains their own independent practice, with control over the parts of their business that matter to them—their rates, clients, schedule, waitlist, areas of focus and how they choose to grow their practice. At the same time, we share many of the resources and connections that can make private practice easier and a little less isolating.
​​
A professional space without the overhead.
​​
Our fully furnished counselling rooms are designed so you can walk in and focus on seeing your clients. Room rentals include Wi-Fi, a comfortable waiting area, shared kitchen, cleaning and other practical amenities—without the overhead and commitment of maintaining your own office.
​
NSTG is located in Central Lonsdale at 17th & Chesterfield, close to transit and street parking, with an accessible entrance and elevator. And, as an added bonus, beautiful mountain and ocean views.
​
More than just a place to see clients.
​
Private practice can sometimes feel isolating, which is part of why NSTG was created. Optional group consultation is offered twice monthly, creating opportunities to share knowledge, consult with colleagues, learn from one another and build relationships with other counsellors.
​
Our hope is to create a community where practitioners can connect, share resources and refer clients to one another, while still maintaining independence in their individual practices.​​
​
NSTG may be particularly well suited to practitioners who work primarily virtually but would like to offer in-person sessions, counsellors growing their private practice, or established practitioners looking for a professional space without committing to their own full-time office.
