Totally fair — and we respect you for asking. The TLC Community was founded by Althea, the owner of In Time Counselling, an established counselling practice that has been part of Durham Region for years. Every provider in the directory is personally reviewed before being listed. This isn't a faceless platform built by strangers. It's a real community, built by a real person who lives here, works here, and is deeply invested in this region's wellbeing. Your trust means everything to us — and we don't take it lightly.

Use one discount — one class, one session, one appointment with one of our incredible local providers — and do the math. In most cases your membership pays for itself the very first time you use it. And unlike that streaming service you forgot you were paying for, this one actively puts money back in your pocket while supporting local businesses that deserve it. The value is real.

Once you're a member you get access to exclusive discount codes from participating providers inside the directory. You grab the code, contact the provider directly, and book your appointment. Simple as that. TLC Community is the bridge — the relationship is yours.

Absolutely. No contracts, no lock-in, no awkward cancellation process. If it's not working for you, cancel anytime — no questions asked. But we'll be honest — once you start exploring what's inside and using your discounts, most members don't look back.

We're building a diverse, inclusive directory that reflects the full range of wellness support available across Durham Region — from counsellors and physiotherapists to yoga studios, nutritionists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, personal trainers, and more. And we're adding new providers regularly.

Yes — and we would love to have you. The TLC Community is built as much for providers as it is for community members. Head to our provider page to express your interest and Althea will follow up personally. I'm a Provider — Tell Me More
