Our Approach
We recognize that everyone is at a different stage in healing and we honour this by focusing on inner strengths and creating a safe space to find your path. By creating a strong rapport, we listen to your concerns from a non-judgemental perspective, and collaboratively, we customize a comprehensive treatment plan. We offer cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), solution focused strategies, mindfulness based strategies, and are well informed on the highly sensitive person theory and religious trauma. At this time, we are taking on new therapy clients from Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa, Durham Region, and accross Ontario.
Mindfulness
"Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally."
-Jon Kabat-Zinn
Our goal is to help you self-develop through mindfulness-based skills. The nature of mindfulness cultivates the necessary skills to release self-judgement and negative thought patterns that arise.
