Our Approach
Manage Stress & Burnout
Burnout is a state of intense emotional, mental and often physical exhaustion that occurs when people are overworked or have been carrying excessive stress for long periods of time. Therapy can help you recover from burnout and improve stress management skills for the future.
Navigate Life Transitions
Even the most exciting life transitions can be a little bit overwhelming. Change is hard! If you are experiencing a major life transition, whether it be in your career, your relationships, or beyond, we are here to listen and help.
Relieve Anxiety & Depression
Living with anxiety and depression can feel isolating and difficult. It can leave you feeling low, sad or hopeless. Therapy can help to relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and provide you with the tools and support needed to start feeling like you again.
Support for Grief & Loss
Grief, sometimes called bereavement, looks different for everyone. While many associate grief with the death of someone close to them, grief can arise from many situations in our lives. No matter the reason for your grief, our counselling professionals can support you.
Approach & Modalities
Somatic Experiencing
This approach emphasizes the mind-body connection when addressing mental health concerns. Trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges have both psychological and physiological impacts. With Somatic Experiencing, we explore this connection to foster healing.
CBT
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is an evidence-based talk therapy that empowers individuals to identify, acknowledge, and work through negative thought patterns. CBT draws a connection between our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and is a practical tool for those looking to improve their psychological health.
EFT
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional dynamics as the foundation for relational health. EFT is one of the leading therapy methods for couples because this approach helps define attachment styles, identify sources of conflict, and provides tools to create a secure, long-lasting bond.
Gestalt
The Gestalt method emphasizes personal experience, responsibility, and mindfulness. The client works with a Gestalt-trained therapist to explore how their unique individual experience impacts their perspective of a variety of situations. Together, you will learn how to stay in the present, take personal responsibility, and move forward in a healthy way.
PACT
This approach to couples therapy combines neuroscience and attachment theory. Your therapist will focus on small shifts in your body as you navigate what you share have been some challenging scenarios for you as a couple. You will learn how to work through conflict together with the knowledge of how our brains and bodies react during relational conflict.
Integrative and Holistic
Your therapist may use a holistic approach and integrate a variety of methods and/or approaches to assist in your healing. Together, you will learn and explore which methods may work best for your goals.
