Therapy for everyday life, with qualified therapists across Canada.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing Therapy is a body-focused approach to trauma healing that aims to release physical tension and restore the nervous system's natural balance by helping individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps people process and heal from traumatic experiences by using guided eye movements to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories, allowing the brain to reframe them in a more adaptive way.
Parts Work/Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps individuals understand and heal different "parts" of themselves by identifying and working with inner sub-personalities, promoting harmony and self-compassion within the internal system.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps people better understand and manage their emotions by guiding them to explore, experience, and transform emotional responses, improving emotional awareness and relationships.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps individuals manage mental health challenges by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, leading to more positive emotional responses and behaviours.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT helps people cope with intense emotions and improve relationships by teaching skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication
First time
considering therapy?
Reaching out is usually the hardest step, and you've just done it.
You don't need to know what to say or to have decided what you want to work on. The first conversation is 20 minutes, free, and mostly your therapist listening.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your therapist will create a safe and welcoming space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. They'll likely ask you about your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. Together, you'll start to explore your experiences and develop a plan to address your challenges.
Is it normal to feel anxious or nervous about going to therapy?
Absolutely. It's a big step to reach out for help, and it's natural to feel a mix of emotions. Remember, your therapist is there to support you and guide you through this process.
Who is therapy for?
Therapy is for anyone who is seeking support, guidance, or a deeper understanding of themselves. It's a valuable tool for people experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:
- Emotional distress: Anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, or feelings of loneliness.
- Relationship difficulties: Issues with family, friends, or romantic partners.
- Life transitions: Major changes like job loss, divorce, or moving.
- Trauma: Experiences of abuse, violence, or other traumatic events.
- Self-discovery: Exploring personal identity, values, and goals.
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
What are the different types of therapy?
Therapists often undergo training in various types of therapeutic practices such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and more. In order to best serve their clients, most therapists will often use a combination of these modalities in their sessions. The approaches above are the ones our therapists use most often.
How often should I go to therapy?
The frequency of your sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Your therapist will work with you to find a schedule that feels right for you.
Will my sessions be confidential?
Yes, your therapist is obligated to keep your information private, with a few exceptions, such as in the case of imminent harm to yourself or others.
What if I don’t know what to say?
Your therapist will create a comfortable and supportive environment where you can express yourself freely. There's no "right" way to talk about your experiences. They'll guide you through the process and help you find the words to share your thoughts and feelings.
We believe in meeting you where you are.
