Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, avoidance, nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation and hopelessness are responses that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. Our team is trained in several modalities that are evidence based for treating PTSD. More information regarding these treatments are available under our team's page.
Relationship counselling can be beneficial to couples and families who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship.
