All About Therapy

Learn About Our Methods

Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, our patients receive concrete, takeaway strategies to help them in their everyday lives. Our sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide patients with effective tools to help them live healthier, happier, and more meaningful lives.   

With all our therapists, including our graduate students, receiving additional training in various therapeutic modalities, we are able to offer you skilled, experienced clinicians who have concrete, takeaway strategies to help you in your everyday life. 

We create a safe, non-judgmental and  supportive environment for our patients to work towards achieving their goals. We help all our patients to strengthen and develop lifelong skills and strategies to help them cope and thrive not just today, but every day going forward.

Asking for help is a scary first step to take, especially when you don't know who to ask, or what to ask for. 
 

Whether you are struggling yourself, or needing someone to help a family member, you have come to the right place. Our practice offers individual, couples and family counselling to both adults and adolescents, offering in-person and virtual therapy options. Additionally, we offer sliding scale costs, so therapy can easily be accessed by every budget, no questions asked.

 

Catering to those with busy schedules, we offer day, evening and weekend appointments so therapy does not become one more thing you need to squeeze into your already busy day.  

All of our clinicians, including our graduate students, receive additional training in CBT, ACT or another therapeutic modality so that they can offer concrete, takeaway strategies to help individuals in their everyday lives.  
 

Please do not hesitate to contact one of our therapists for a free phone consultation where our therapists will be able to answer any questions you have and make sure they are the right person to help you and your family.

A Better Understanding

Children and teenagers are often difficult to understand, and as our kids grow, family dynamics change. My family therapy sessions are designed with a circular causality framework. The focus is to help families understand how one person impacts the other, and how to make permanent changes within the household to help everyone communicate, understand and develop together.

If you’re looking for quality couples therapy sessions with a certified Psychotherapist that cares, then you’ve come to the right place. I guide my patients every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. The focus of my couples counselling is on strengthening the relationship and developing healthy communication, not on placing blame or making accusations.

It is not easy growing up, and children often do not know who to talk to when they do not want to talk to their parents. With many years experience working with youth, I understand the complex nature of balancing confidentiality while encouraging parental involvement. Whether you are needing someone to talk to or your parents think you should talk to someone, I offer a safe, confidential and accepting environment, free from judgement and criticism.
