Let’s Connect About Depression Trauma ADHD Alcohol Use Managing Anger Suicidal Thoughts Relationship Issues Anxiety Separation & Divorce Family Stress Emotional Dysregulation
Borderline Personality Disorder
BPD is a mental health condition. People with BPD may have extreme mood swings, unstable relationships and trouble controlling their emotions. They have a higher risk of suicide and self-destructive behaviour. Talk therapy is the main treatment for BPD.
Depression
Anxiety and depression are common mental health illnesses many people struggle with. There is hope; these disorders can be treated with psychotherapy and are sometimes supported with medications.
Suicidal Thoughts & Self-Harm
Deliberately hurting your own body, such as cutting or burning, can be a way to cope with emotional pain, intense anger, and frustration. Continual or new thoughts of suicide can be scary and sometimes comforting. You’re not alone. Connect now to chat with an expert who will partner with you respectfully and without judgement. If you need immediate help, call 911.
Anxiety
Anxiety and depression are common mental health illnesses many people struggle with. There is hope; these disorders can be treated with psychotherapy and are sometimes supported with medications.
Emotional Dysregulation
Mood-dependent behaviours, intense mood changes, and feeling little control over emotions and/or a steady negative emotional state can leave people feeling isolated, ashamed, and frustrated. We are experts in this.
Parenting Support
Parenting is one of the most demanding jobs on Earth, and unfortunately, kids don’t come with a manual. When you’re feeling overwhelmed or dealing with a specific parenting challenge, we come alongside to provide the support and guidance you need.
Betrayal, Separation, & Divorce
Betrayal is the deep cut one feels when someone you trust shatters the foundations of your relationship by breaking that trust. The resulting trauma can be severe.
Alcohol Use
When substance or alcohol use has gone from more than an occasional indulgence to a challenge that affects your everyday life, you’re not alone. There are many different pathways to recovery from alcohol and other drug use disorders. We can help.
Managing Anger
Often, triggers that set off anger responses develop in childhood. As we introduce strategies to manage emotions, we can begin exploring where anger responses come from. Psychotherapy treatments are the most effective method to help individuals manage their anger to preserve personal and professional relationships.
Impulsivity
It can be hard to think about the long-term impact of things when struggling with impulsivity. This occurs when we act without thinking or avoid and escape emotional experiences. Often people don’t reach out for help until the consequences have been dire. You aren’t alone…and we know how to help!
General Relationship Issues
Do you notice a pattern of difficulty keeping relationships steady? Do you find it challenging to get what you want in relationships while keeping your self respect? Do you feel lonely, abandoned, taken advantage of? There’s help.
Interpersonal Challenges
If extreme thoughts, feelings, and actions, an absence of flexibility, difficulty navigating conflict or effectively influencing others’ behaviours sound familiar, there is help. We’re experts in this.
Family Stress
Change is constant in family relationships as members grow up and age. This can sometimes put pressure on the emotional balance of the family unit. A family therapist can help forge connections when members grow apart.
Couple & Relationship Issues
Often, couples encounter challenges after they have been together for a while and life starts throwing curveballs. Focused sessions with a therapist can help. Click here to learn more about our couples therapy programs.
ADHD
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the brain’s prefrontal cortex, which manages our ability to plan, focus, multitask and remember instructions. Help is available!
Grief & Loss
Grief is a deeply personal and universal experience that occurs after a significant loss of a family member, friend, pet, or even a job. We can help you navigate the emotions you’re experiencing, and find ways to honour your loss while moving forward with your life. You’re not alone.
Fertility Challenges
Fertility counselling can cover implications and decision-making counselling including conversations about third-party reproduction including sperm and ovum donation, surrogacy, and adoption, as well as support counselling and short-term crisis counselling. You aren’t alone on this journey. Let us help.
Trauma
Trauma is how the human body responds to a highly stressful event. When experienced, it can disrupt the nervous system to cause dysregulation.

What is therapy and why do I need it?
Therapy offers a confidential space where you can engage in meaningful conversations with a trusted professional, trained to support you in achieving your personal goals.
Deciding whether therapy is right for you is a deeply personal choice. While some may seek therapy to address significant challenges or mental health issues impacting their lives, others simply want a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions, big and small. We’re here for you.
When you are facing challenging emotions or situations, we offer elevated care to help you move forward.

What can therapy help with?
Emotional Regulation & Navigation
Let’s face it; life throws us a mixed bag of emotions each day, and sometimes, it’s tough to navigate through them. If you find your emotions go from 0 to 100 quickly, or you find that once you get angry or upset you stay that way for a very long time and it’s hard to feel better, it may be a good idea to seek support. Therapy can help you develop effective strategies to regulate your emotions and navigate life’s twists and turns with confidence and resilience.
Life Transitions
Life transitions – such as a change in family dynamics or your career – can bring about noticeable shifts in behaviour or mood, like withdrawing from activities or experiencing changes in sleep and eating patterns. If these signs resonate with you, seeking therapy can be valuable in navigating through changes with resilience. We offer a supportive space to address and understand the challenges that come with life transitions, empowering you to embrace change and thrive in new circumstances.
Relationships
Relationships can be challenging, yet they’re often one of life’s greatest joys…right up there with a warm doughnut or puppy kisses. 🙂 If your relationships are feeling strained or you’re facing challenges that you aren’t sure how to navigate, therapy can help you develop stronger communication skills to express your needs, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate meaningful connections.
Uncertainty or Confusion
Life is anything but simple. With a myriad of decisions and experiences, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about what’s best for you. If you find yourself grappling with confusion or uncertainty, therapy provides a supportive space to explore your identity, aspirations, and direction in life. Let us help you navigate through the maze and discover who you are, what you want, and where you want to go.
Thoughts or Behaviours of Self-Harm or Suicide
If you or someone you know has been having thoughts or showing behaviours towards self-harm or suicide, it’s so important to reach out for support as soon as possible. There are no feelings that are off-limits here, and we are here to support you through it all. You’re not alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does therapy last?
There’s no cut and dry answer here because everyone, just like you, is unique! Research shows us that most people begin to feel some change within a few sessions while others attend for months or years. You can keep coming to therapy for as long as you need! Even once we’ve accomplished your goals and you’re feeling great, therapy can be a place for you to chill out, talk things through, or get great advice from someone you trust.
Why would I speak to a therapist instead of my friend?
It sounds like you have awesome friends. Congrats, that’s fantastic! You trust them, you know them, and they’ve been genuinely helpful in things that you’ve gone through. Seeing a therapist has additional benefits:
- A therapist is a highly qualified professional trained in strategies, skills, and modalities to help you achieve your goals.
- A therapist is confidential and totally objective.
- A therapist prioritizes you and your feelings; you never have to feel guilty about taking your therapist’s time.
- Your therapist has professional boundaries and this is really important to support you.
How do I prepare for my first session?
OK, you’ve had your intake meeting that went awesomely and you think you found the perfect therapist, now it’s time to start treatment. What the heck does that look like? Don’t worry, your therapist is happy and skilled in supporting you during the first session jitters. They’re completely normal. After all, you’re sharing your most intimate secrets with a stranger.
Here are some suggestions to help make it go smoothly for you:
- Come to your session with a beverage in case your mouth gets dry as you’ll be talking a lot. (no cocktails, please! :-))
- Try and have an open mind about therapy and the possibility that it may be able to help you.
- Consider writing down specific issues or topics that you’d like to cover. When you’re in a session, it can be easy to draw a blank and be a bit nervous. Not to worry, we’re here to help!
- Be prepared to speak your mind openly and honestly. You’ll chat about your needs, your opinions, your thoughts, your feelings, your values… and maybe more.
This session is about you and your therapist is excited to support you in this awesome journey you’ve decided to take. Well done!
How do I know if I chose the right therapist?
Great question! Often people have a gut feeling about whether their therapist is a good fit. You know you like someone if you feel comfortable around them, you feel open being yourself, and you’re excited for sessions. Your therapist comes alongside you, supporting you through challenging situations and confusing emotions. When things are a good fit, sessions tend to feel productive, and you will feel comfortable and free to express your true feelings.
Please don’t hesitate to connect with us! We would be happy to hear from you with any questions you may have, or to enquire about booking sessions with one of our qualified clinicians.
