The basics of Individual Therapy are simple: you work together with a therapist to define and outline steps towards completing a goal or solving a problem you are bringing to therapy.

The specifics of individual therapy are more complicated: you and your therapist may agree on the use of a particular approach such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ect. but the goal you are trying complete or the problem you want to solve may require strategies from several different approaches.

Ultimately, your therapist will meet you where you are at and help you make an informed decision on which approach or combination of approaches is best for you.

There are some experiences and relationship conflicts that tend to be best resolved by working with a therapist in an one-on-one basis. However, from a systemic perspective, the change you create within yourself has the potential to influence the people that are connected to you.

The goals of couples therapy will always be the same: to help improve the communication between you and your partner and to teach you both to develop the space between you so that it is safe to express your feelings without guilt and shame.

Couples will come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Some couples will have issues related to sex and or intimacy, combativeness or defensiveness in response to external stressors, feeling disconnected from one another, or perhaps a specific issue has created a wall between you both. For whatever reason you are seeking couple’s therapy, our couple’s therapist will do their best to help you find a way back to each other.

The longer a problem persists or is not settled between both partners, the bigger it becomes. The bigger it becomes, the more it feels like it is not within your ability to settle or move past. Couples are always surprised to find how small changes can create the biggest effects on their relationship. We welcome the opportunity to help your relationship however simple or complex or small or large the problem may be.

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps family members better understand each other, support one another and work through difficult situations.

Family therapy is not only used to resolve issues between individuals, it can be used as a way to face difficult times together. Some individuals have used our Family Therapy service to invite a supportive person to sit in on their session with our therapists. This service can be a way to invite family members to talk about the therapy process and gain a better perspective on the experience of the client. Another creative use of Family Therapy may be to process grief with loved ones.
