Psychotherapy for depression and anxiety can help relieve and manage stress, persistent worry, and fear. Your body does not have to live in survival mode waiting for something awful to happen. It's stressful to be worried about what others are thinking about you all the time - we get it!
We also understand how it feels to be hopeless, afraid of failure, and full of shame. Depression can feel like a heavy anchor weighing you down. Our therapist's goal is to relieve you of this burden - because you are not a burden.

Let's focus on the roots! Compassionate, trauma focused therapy to help process past painful experiences and build emotional safety and resilience. Using evidence based techniques like CPT, EMDR, IFS, Deep Brain Reorienting and Brainspotting, our team has witnessed post traumatic stress turn into post traumatic growth time and time again. Our skilled trauma psychotherapists are trained to treat dissociation, shame, abuse recovery, anger, hypervigilance, and the misunderstood challenges associated with complex trauma.

Dedicated relationship therapy to help couples and families improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. Infidelity, betrayal, grief and loss, fertility, abuse, blending families, addiction, and so much more impact our family units in complex ways. The therapists at Nova Phoenix have lived experience with this - and understand how to breathe life, joy and connection back into relationships again.

If you’re feeling stuck in patterns you swore you’d break and shame, cravings, or secrecy are taking up more space than you want to admit… you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you!

Our compassionate psychotherapists have supported thousands of individuals through addiction and recovery. At Nova Phoenix, we understand that substance use and addictive behaviours are not character flaws — they are protective efforts to cope with overwhelming stress, trauma, grief, anxiety and fear, or pain.

Our approach is grounded in harm reduction, stability first, and trauma informed. Together, we work to understand your triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical tools that support real-life change. Recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about safety, sustainability, progress and connection to community.

When you’re ready, we gently explore the deeper roots beneath addiction. Many clients discover unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or early experiences that shaped how they learned to cope. Using trauma-informed approaches such as inner child work, EMDR, and other evidence-based therapies aligned with your preferences, we help you process what no longer needs to be carried alone.

Healing is possible. Not through shame. Not through force. But through understanding, accountability, and compassionate support — at your pace.

Using play, art, sand, clay, and other child focused activities, our therapists work with children of all ages to support emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs. If your child is neurodivergent, we can help both your child, as well as siblings and parents.

Teen self-harm can feel overwhelming and frightening for parents. If you’ve noticed changes in your teen like withdrawal, mood shifts, you are not alone, and this is not a reflection of your parenting. Self-harm is often a coping strategy for intense emotional pain, not a bid for attention. We can help parents and teens find hope and connection again, regardless of the issue you are navigating as a youth.

Through our partnership with Ketamind Health https://ketamindhealth.ca/ we offer psychedelic assisted psychotherapy integration.

Together with Ketamind Health’s safe, supportive infusion environment under a doctor's care, we guide you through preparation, experience, and integration so the insights you gain can positively shape your life.

Your journey toward clarity, resilience, and renewed meaning begins with understanding, connection, and care — and we’re here to walk that path with you.

We provide affirming therapy for neurodivergent children and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, ODD, learning disabilities, and other neurodivergent experiences. Our approach focuses on strengths, self-understanding, anti-ableism, and practical strategies for daily life.

Late-diagnosed ADHD and autism are also common experiences, especially for people who have learned to mask their struggles. Many families come to us feeling exhausted, confused, or discouraged after years of not having clear answers. Our psychotherapists bring decades of experience supporting neurodivergent youth and their families, offering clarity, compassion, and tools that truly fit.

Here, difference is not a deficit. It’s a different way of being which deserves understanding, not correction.

Grief therapy offers compassionate support for individuals coping with loss, including the loss of a loved one, relationships, identity, or life changes. We provide a safe space to process emotions, honour loss, and navigate healing at your own pace.

We offer evidence-based therapy to support individuals living with OCD. Treatment focuses on understanding obsessive thoughts, reducing compulsive behaviours, and developing healthier coping strategies to improve daily functioning and quality of life.
