Counselling and Therapy Services
Individual Therapy
Anxiety and depression are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience. Stress and overwhelm seem to be the new norm in our busy world. The good news is there are lots of strategies you can try to feel better. We work with many busy professionals, healthcare workers and first responders. Counselling can help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that may be missing from your life.
If you are struggling with an executive function disorder such as ADHD, there are many skills to help strengthen weaknesses, increase focus and concentration and regulate emotions.
Youth Focused Therapy
Young people require a specialized approach in therapy to foster trust and build connection in order to move forward in healthy ways in their lives. Counselling drawing from models such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing supports young people to improve their mental health and associated behaviours such as addiction, eating disorders, emotional outbursts and trauma responses.
EMDR Trauma Therapy
When left unprocessed, traumatic events and negative experiences can impact our present day functioning and relationships with others in significant ways. Getting help can reduce these negative impacts and allow you to regain a sense of safety and control over how you respond to life's stressors.
Gaining skills in distress tolerance and emotion regulation are the first steps in addressing past trauma. Once we build you up in these skills AND you feel ready, we can support you with memory processing.
Couples Therapy
Intimate relationships are where we ground ourselves. When there is disconnection, distance and conflict we often feel insecure and have a harder time dealing with life's day to day challenges. Grounded in attachment theory, we use emotionally focused therapy to support couples to understand their relationship dynamics from an attachment perspective. This increased understanding along with guided communication strategies helps couples feel closer and more connected to each other, leaving them more equipped to respond when conflict arises.
We are also extensively experienced with LGBTQ2S populations and diverse relationship forms.
Family Therapy
Do you experience strain with a loved one in your family? Do you have a child who is struggling? Family therapy can improve relationships, make sense of difficult dynamics and help members communicate needs and feel closer to each other.
We also work with individual caregivers to better help loved ones dealing with difficult issues and behaviours related to mental health, trauma, addiction and self-harm.
