The Argyle, a unique non-profit, charitable organization that was established in Montreal in 1982, to provide counselling and psychotherapy services, and to be a post-degree training facility for mental health professionals. The Argyle has been an invaluable community asset for more than twenty years. It has established a solid reputation for its training programs in Individual Psychotherapy, as well as Marital and Family Therapy. The latter is accredited by the American Association of Marital and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

In conjunction with its training programs, the Argyle provides accessible mental health services as an alternative to the overwhelmed resources in the public sector. Counseling and therapy are available on a sliding fee scale that is geared to the client's family annual income. When it is appropriate, there is collaboration with other mental health care providers and mental health agencies.

The Argyle has a three-fold mission to:

1. Offer counseling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families; workshops, lectures, as well as prevention-oriented mental health programs;

2. Offer mental health care providers with opportunities for continuing professional development;

3. Conduct research in order to improve our programs and services.
