Psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy
Individuals desire to belong, to interact with others, find a significant place in society and move towards creating a happy and healthy life style. Do you need someone to listen to you and your feelings? Are you looking to improve your everyday life? Through psychotherapy, we will help you to become aware of your strengths, problem solve, make decisions and choose the direction in your own life that is personally satisfying. We will work in a collaborative effort towards goals that are mutually agreed upon. Challenges and problems include, but are not limited to addictions, anger, anxiety, body image, depression, eating disorders, self-esteem/confidence, spirituality, stress, life transition, parenting, trauma and work-life balance.
Couples Psychotherapy
Couples can experience challenges and difficulties in their relationships. Are you stuck in the same argument loop? Do you feel like you are drifting apart? Couples therapy can help with such issues as communication, couple conflicts, different parenting styles, intimacy, blended families, step-parenting, coping with extended family members and infidelity. We provide support to help you improve communication skills, discuss concerns, solve problems, discuss your thoughts and feelings, gain a better understanding of your relationship, resolve conflicts, make changes, develop skills to maintain a healthy relationship with cooperation and mutual trust.
Family Psychotherapy
Challenges and difficulties of family life can affect the members of a family in one way or another. For example, family conflicts and children’s behaviour. The family involves separate individuals who are embedded in a system and relationships; therefore, family psychotherapy can assist with making changes, help the family cope better with one another, and live together in harmony as social equals with mutual trust and respect. We provide support to your family to help develop the tools and skills that are important for achieving a cooperative family life with and belongingness. Family therapy can help with such issues as parent-child relationships, behaviour problems, sibling rivalry, communication, school issues, blended families and problem solving through understanding family patterns.
