Counselling through life's transitions.
Approaches
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT, is a type of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a wide range of issues. CBT involves identifying negative or unhelpful thought patterns and learning how to replace those thoughts with ones that better support mental health.
EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICE
Using an evidenced-based practice means that we are committed to providing therapy that has shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific experiments. Our goal is to incorporate best available research with clinical experience and client preference.
SOLUTION-FOCUSED
Solution-focused therapy aims to focus on the client's present concerns and explore solutions, instead of dwelling on past experiences. Solution-focused therapy is generally helpful for a single, less complicated problem, rather than for trauma or long-term mental health issues.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
STRENGTHS-BASED
Trauma-informed care aims to help clients find purpose and meaning in their lives while honouring how their experiences have affected them. We are committed to maintaining a safe environment and minimizing the risk of re-traumatization.
Strengths-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy that focuses on the client's resourcefulness and internal strengths. It's a form of talk therapy where the client is the storyteller, and explores your resilience, independence, and wellbeing.
