We are honoured to share that VOX Mental Health has received the Platinum Award for Best Marriage, Family & Individual Counselling in the 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, as published in Best of Barrie.

This recognition holds particular meaning for our team because it reflects the trust placed in us by the community we serve. Readers’ Choice Awards are shaped by lived experience. They represent the voices of individuals and families who have sought care, connection, and support, and who have taken the time to acknowledge the impact of that work.

A Community-Driven Recognition

At VOX Mental Health, we view therapy as a relational process grounded in care, ethics, and collaboration. Being recognized by the Barrie community affirms our commitment to providing psychotherapy that is thoughtful, trauma-informed, and responsive to the complexity of human experience.

This award belongs not only to our clinicians, but to:

• The clients who trust us with their stories

• The community partners and referrers who collaborate with us

• The broader Barrie community that values accessible, ethical mental health care

A Reflection of Our Team

VOX Mental Health is a social work–led practice made up of Registered Social Workers with diverse training, perspectives, and areas of focus. Our clinicians work across individual, couples, family, and child therapy, supporting people through a wide range of mental health concerns.

This recognition reflects the collective effort of a team committed to:

• Evidence-based and trauma-informed care

• Relational and attachment-focused approaches

• Ethical practice grounded in social work values

• Ongoing learning, reflection, and accountability

Gratitude and Ongoing Commitment

While awards are not our measure of success, we are grateful for the affirmation they represent. Our ongoing commitment remains the same: to continue investing in high-quality care, sustainable systems, and a practice environment where clinicians can do meaningful work and clients feel supported.

We are deeply thankful to everyone who voted, referred, trusted, and walked alongside VOX Mental Health. It is a privilege to be part of this community.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we remain focused on growth that is intentional and values-aligned—expanding services, strengthening partnerships, and continuing to offer care that honours voice, agency, and connection.

Thank you, Barrie, for this recognition and for allowing us to do this work.
