Our approach to therapy is integrative and evidence-based, never "one size fits all". We know that people come to therapy with different experiences, needs, and goals, and our clinicians draw from a variety of approaches that are backed by research for your specific needs. We have clinicians with expertise in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), trauma-focused CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure and response prevention (ERP), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), interpersonal therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and problem-solving skills training. The specific approaches used will depend on the presenting concerns, your goals and preferences, as well as what the evidence suggests is most effective.

 

We also offer supportive counseling for individuals without a specific presenting concern who just need someone to talk to about life's challenges. Supportive counselling can help build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and approach challenges with greater clarity, but is not as effective as other interventions for the treatment of clinical disorders. Your clinician will help determine whether formal intervention or supportive counselling is most appropriate.
