Our services are tailored to meet your unique needs, and we work collaboratively with you to develop a plan that suits your goals.

Counselling

Counselling is a process of exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a knowledgeable and empathic professional. It is an opportunity to gain insight, develop coping skills, and improve your overall well-being. Our counselling services are designed to help you deal with common life difficulties that are causing distress, as well as to improve your lifestyle, outlook, and skills to better your life.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that aims to help you understand and resolve your emotional issues. It involves exploring your past experiences, current relationships, and future goals. Our psychotherapy services are designed to assist you in removing emotional blockages, clarifying sources of conflict, and releasing your natural potential for growth.

Assessments

Assessments are an important part of our services. They provide a comprehensive understanding of your strengths and challenges, and help us to develop a tailored plan to meet your needs. Our assessments include psychological, educational, and vocational assessments.

Depression and Anxiety Treatment

Depression and anxiety are common mental health concerns that can significantly impact your quality of life. Our treatment services are designed to help you understand and manage your symptoms. We use evidence-based treatment approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapy, to help you overcome these challenges.

We have expertise in treating depression, anxiety disorders, accident rehabilitation, women's issues, and psychological assessments.

Trauma

Traumatizing experiences can shake the foundations of our beliefs about safety and shatter our assumptions of trust. These events can provoke reactions that feel strange and "crazy". However, these reactions are typical and expectable. Trauma symptoms are probably adaptive and originally evolved to help us recognize and avoid other dangerous situations quickly.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are one of Canada's most common illnesses, and they are also the least understood. Everyone feels anxious at times, but people suffering from an anxiety disorder are subject to intense, prolonged feelings of fright and distress for no obvious reason. These feelings can interfere with their daily lives and turn their life into a continuous journey of unease and fear.
