Our Services

  • Anxiety therapy helps individuals manage excessive worry, fear, or panic that interferes with daily life. We work with clients to identify triggers, understand underlying causes, and develop coping strategies to reduce anxiety's intensity.

    Depression therapy provides support for individuals experiencing persistent sadness, hopelessness, or a loss of interest in life. We offer an integrative approach to help clients shift negative thought patterns, resolve emotional pain, and rebuild a sense of purpose.

  • LGBTQ2IAS+ Therapy offers a safe and affirming space for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, or any diverse sexual or gender identity.

  • We provide comprehensive support for perinatal mood disorders by exploring how symptoms impact you through a perinatal mood framework.

  • Trauma therapy helps individuals process and heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. We use an integrative approach to help clients reconnect with their sense of safety and rebuild their lives.

  • Therapy focused on self-esteem and identity helps individuals explore and build a healthy sense of self-worth and self-concept. This service is beneficial for those struggling with negative self-perceptions, feelings of inadequacy, or identity confusion.

  • Therapy for stress and burnout offers individuals a space to address chronic stress and feelings of exhaustion, often related to work, caregiving, or other personal demands. We help clients identify the sources of stress, develop effective coping strategies, and restore balance in their lives.

  • Life transition therapy helps individuals adjust to significant changes in their lives. We provide guidance and support to help clients manage the emotional and practical challenges that come with these transitions.

  • Grief and loss therapy supports individuals who are navigating the emotional pain of losing a loved one, relationship, or life circumstance. We assist individuals in processing their feelings, managing grief, and eventually finding a way to move forward.

  • Somatic therapy integrates the body into the healing process, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and emotions. This type of therapy works to help clients experience emotional regulation and healing through embodied practices.

  • Psychodynamic and attachment therapy explore the deeper, often unconscious, aspects of a person's emotional life and relationships. These approaches are rooted in understanding how early experiences, especially with primary caregivers, shape current behaviour and emotional patterns.
