Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy benefits children and adults, as well as couples and families. This modality focuses on the importance of early emotional bonds and how these relationships influence our sense of self and connection with others. It can help with concerns that arise as a result of negative early life experiences – for instance, difficulties in forming meaningful relationships with others, experiencing fear of abandonment or being alone, self-esteem issues, and many other concerns. The goal is to develop healthier, more secure attachments in your current life. Learn more…
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the gold-standard treatment approach for anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders. Research shows that CBT can even be more effective than medication, and have longer-lasting effects.

You will learn valuable tools to rewire your brain and change how you view yourself and your future. Learn more…

If you describe yourself as highly emotional or moody, are easily triggered, and tend to have ongoing crisis situations, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) may be the right fit for you.

In therapy, you and your loved one will learn how to change the way you both respond to each other to foster a healthier, more effective communication pattern. You both will learn how to really understand each other’s perspectives, as well as support and comfort each other in ways that really work. Trust, emotional safety, and comfort are all strengthened as you attend therapy together. Learn more…
