Services
Cognitive-behavioural therapy
Our cognitive-behavioural therapy integrates third-wave approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. We focus on developing skills to manage thought patterns and behaviors, emphasizing mindfulness and behavioral activation. This evidence-based approach helps clients achieve lasting improvements in mental health.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback services use real-time EEG data to train brain function for conditions like ADHD and post-concussion symptoms. By identifying and targeting dysfunctional brain patterns through personalized protocols, we help improve focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance using advanced neuroshaping techniques.
Mindfulness-based therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy combines meditation practices with psychological principles to enhance present-moment awareness. This approach helps clients manage stress, chronic pain, and emotional challenges by cultivating non-judgmental observation of thoughts and sensations, fostering resilience and mental clarity.
QEEG brain mapping
QEEG brain mapping provides detailed assessments of brain activity to identify functional irregularities. This diagnostic tool guides neurofeedback treatment by pinpointing areas requiring intervention, offering insights into attention regulation issues and cognitive inefficiencies through quantitative EEG analysis.
Online therapy
Online therapy delivers secure psychological services via encrypted video platforms, ensuring accessibility for Ontario residents. Using doxy.me, we provide counseling, CBT, and mindfulness coaching from the comfort of clients' homes, maintaining confidentiality while expanding service reach across geographic barriers.
