Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a common form of short-term, goal-oriented therapy that recognizes the interconnected relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Using CBT, clients work with their counsellor to identify negative thoughts and beliefs, and replace them with more realistic and productive ways of thinking.

CBT can be an effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage depression, anxiety, and stressful life events.

Family Systems Therapy is a form of psychotherapy which is built on the premise that what happens to one family member happens to every family member. As a result, individuals cannot be understood in isolation but as part of a larger family unit. Using the Family Systems Therapy approach, clients explore how their current behaviours and relationships have been shaped by their unique family dynamics, and develop new perspectives about themselves that are not limited by family roles and rules.

Family Systems Therapy can be an effective tool to help anyone experiencing depression, anxiety, and disordered eating.

Narrative Therapy is a form of counselling which views individuals as separate from their problems and behaviours. Using Narrative Therapy, clients share stories (or narratives) with their counsellor, focusing on problematic or dominant storylines. With the counsellor’s guidance, clients learn to view their problems as something they have or experience—not something they are. Clients are also empowered to “rewrite” their storylines and uncover more productive traits and skills they possess, which can be used to address challenging situations.

Narrative Therapy can be an effective tool to help anyone experiencing depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and trauma-related stress.
