About Family Service Ontario

FSO provides support and resources to agencies so Ontarians have responsive community-based resources that foster healthy relationships and resilient families. With in-person gatherings greatly impacted by COVID-19, the Counselling Finder was created to help reduce barriers to access and increase program visibility across Ontario. The Counselling Finder provides a platform for agencies to promote their service availability and offer counselling, increasing service access for vulnerable families and communities throughout the province.


This program is funded through the government of Canada through the Canada Healthy Communities Initiatives. With their support, we've created a program that is responsive, inclusive and flexible to the needs of our communities and clients.

Some services have a fee that is based on a sliding scale. Your first call is a free intake appointment to discuss the service that is right for you, and the potential cost.

We will start by asking you some questions to help us match you to the best service and counsellor for your needs. This is an intake appointment by phone, but may be virtually or in person. You can chose between virtual or in person counselling appointments based on your preference and comfort level.
