New Centrepointe Offices
We are thrilled to share news that The Authentic Life has moved to its own dedicated, custom fit psychotherapy clinic in the Nepean Medical Centre at 1 Centrepointe Drive. You will now find us in Suite 301, located to the left when you come off of the elevators.
We worked closely with the owners and property management team to design and build a modern, welcoming, and private therapy clinic that meets the needs of our growing team and our clients.
The on-site parking service has also changed its payment system. Please allow enough time before your session to secure and pay for parking.
See you soon in our new space! We hope you love it as much as we do.

We welcome all people into our practice. We are 2SLGBTQI+ allied and support all relationship configurations.
