HFB Counselling was born out of lived experience — not just clinical training, but real life. Founded by Rebecca Nordquist, a mother, grandmother, and long-time advocate for trauma-informed care, the agency began with a simple desire: to create a space where people could be heard, held, and healed. After years of working in crisis response, pastoral care, and community leadership, Rebecca saw the desperate need for counselling that was both deeply compassionate and clinically sound.

What started as a vision became a reality — a place where stories are honoured, not rushed. Where healing is not a formula, but a journey walked together. HFB stands for Honouring Stories. Fostering Healing. Building Resilience — values that are lived out in every session, with every client.

Over time, HFB Counselling has grown into a trusted mental health agency in Kitchener, Ontario, offering individual, couples, and family counselling. While our services have expanded, our heart has remained the same: to meet people where they are, with empathy, integrity, and care.

Today, HFB Counselling continues to serve as a refuge for those navigating trauma, grief, relational pain, and life’s hardest transitions — and we count it a sacred privilege to journey alongside each person who walks through our doors.
