About Authentic Living

Authentic Living is a mental health clinic located on Thompson Rd in the Glen Cairn neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The clinic serves individuals, couples, and families by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for those navigating various mental health challenges. Their team of registered psychotherapists, interns, and mental health professionals offers personalized, trauma-informed care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, OCD, anger management, and self-esteem issues. They also provide specialized support for grief, religious trauma, addiction, and life transitions, including end-of-life support for seniors. The clinic offers both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. Specific services include individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. They also provide specialized treatments like EMDR therapy and ADHD coaching. Beyond individual sessions, the clinic operates the Authentic Living Institute, which provides grief education, keynote speaking, and workshops such as "Beyond the Tears" and "How to Support a Bereaved Friend." These workshops can be delivered virtually or in-person at a client's location. Founded in 2022 by Gabrielle Ferguson, the clinic was established following her personal experience with loss. The business describes itself as a place where healing happens through connection and authenticity, emphasizing that grief is a natural human response rather than something to be fixed. The clinic is an approved Safe Space Alliance business and affirms people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, cultures, and abilities. To help clients find the right match, the clinic offers a free 15-minute consultation.
