Therapeutic Approaches

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Some therapists specialize in specific methods that you may have heard about. If any of these approaches resonate with you and you'd like to try them, please let us know.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps you identify and change negative thought patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Often used for intense emotions, this approach teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A type of psychotherapy that helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores how your past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and early relationships may be influencing your present behaviour and feelings.

Narrative Therapy: This approach focuses on your life stories. The idea is that the problems you face are separate from who you are. The therapist helps you re-examine your stories and rewrite them to highlight your strengths, values, and preferred future. It can be empowering for those who feel their identity has been overshadowed by a problem.

IFS / Parts Work: Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as a family of "parts," each with its own role and perspective. You might have a "part" that feels anxious or a "part" that's a people-pleaser. The goal is not to eliminate these parts, but to help them work together harmoniously, led by your authentic and calm self. This is great for those who feel conflicted or have a sense of inner turmoil.

Somatic Therapies: Somatic therapies are centered on the mind-body connection. They are based on the understanding that past trauma or stress is stored in the body. The therapist helps you become more aware of your physical sensations to release trapped stress and tension. This can be very effective for anxiety, PTSD, and chronic stress, offering a powerful way to heal beyond just talking.
