  • What can I expect at my first session?

    The first appointment is called an intake session (can be 1-2 sessions) which involves an assessment to understand your expectations, your history and background, relationship dynamics and the stressors/challenges that have contributed to your current situation and state. Your therapist will also discuss your goals for therapy and work with you to develop a treatment plan to meet those goals. We aim to make this process a comfortable one and to provide you with a safe place to talk about your concerns.

  • Who can benefit from psychotherapy?

    Psychotherapy can benefit any individual, couple, or family that is struggling with handling life stressors, life changes, and emotional, and behavioural difficulties. Therapy isn’t just about navigating through crises; it’s a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
