Fortify.
4 focused sessions. A clear four-session starting point.
Fortify is a structured start into counselling for men — 4 focused sessions to help you understand what's happening, identify what needs attention, begin working on it, and determine what comes next.
4 focused sessions to help you get unstuck.
Fortify isn't 4 sessions to solve everything. It's 4 focused sessions to help you get unstuck and start moving forward. Some men make meaningful progress within 4 sessions; others identify issues that would benefit from continued counselling — and that's something we can talk about at the end.
How The Fortify Program Works
Each Fortify program follows a simple 4-part structure to take you from clarity to a practical way forward.
Get Clear
Understand what's getting in the way
Take a focused look at what brought you here, what's happening now, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Understand the Pattern
Make sense of what's driving it
Explore what's underneath the stress, anger, disconnection or relationship patterns you're experiencing, and why they may keep repeating.
Put It To Work
Build practical ways forward
Develop strategies you can use in your relationships, work and everyday life. The focus is on tools that fit you and the problem you're facing.
Move Forward
Know what comes next
Review what's changed, what still needs work, and build a practical plan for continuing forward — whether independently or with further support.
A clear place to begin.
You commit to 4 sessions. We focus on what's happening, understand the pattern, work on practical changes, and then decide what you need next. If further counselling would be useful, we can discuss that at the end. If it wouldn't, you walk away with a clearer picture and a plan.
About Fortify
What is Fortify?
Fortify is 4 focused counselling sessions with Registered Clinical Counsellor James Howard. It's a structured start into counselling for men — a clear four-session starting point.
How much does Fortify cost?
The Fortify program is $600 for the 4-session program. Sessions are provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Many extended health plans include coverage for RCCs — coverage varies by plan, so please confirm RCC coverage with your provider.
Is Fortify counselling?
Yes. Fortify is one-to-one clinical counselling. The 4 sessions are structured, but each one is real counselling tailored to what you're facing.
Will 4 sessions solve my problem?
Not necessarily. Some men make meaningful progress within 4 sessions; others identify issues that would benefit from continued counselling. Fortify gives you a focused place to start and a clear picture of what comes next — whether that's more support or a plan to keep going on your own.
Start with 4 sessions.
Sessions are provided virtually to eligible residents of BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut by Registered Clinical Counsellor James Howard. Many extended health plans include coverage for RCCs — please confirm with your provider.
