Why evidence- based therapies?
Our extensive experience as psychologists has led us to use only evidence based strategies and approaches. We value your individual story and want you to be sure you can make progress in meeting life's challenges.
​
What do we mean by evidence based approaches? Well-studied, researched and proven ways to work through trauma, mental health issues and relationship problems to find solutions together.​​
​
CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a supportive, evidence-based approach that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With compassion and collaboration at its core, CBT gently guides individuals in identifying unhelpful patterns and developing healthier ways of thinking and coping. It's a practical, empowering process that honors each person's unique journey toward healing and emotional well-being. CBT is often used as part of a strategy for addressing depression and anxiety.
​​​
Other evidence based strategies we use include:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
