Let us help you learn, love and accept your beautiful unique self. Growing towards our truth takes courage, compassion, and consistency.
Counselling and Psychological Therapy Services has carried the weight of negative stigma for centuries, really since it’s inception, as people who were thought to need “help” were usually quite serve in the presence of their symptoms. This stigma around counselling and psychological therapy services has created some distorted thoughts about accepting or seeking “help.” Yet, we all need help…it is not a weakness or a sign of ill health… but a recognition that you are capable of a belief that will strengthen you as you grow as an individual. The truth is that we all experience struggles in our life. Knowing that you can reach out and support yourself to learn your way through these experiences exudes STRENGTH and COURAGE.
GROW with Us…You Are Not ALONE.
Grounding our Being
One breath, One moment, One learning, One step at a time....Your Individual Therapeutic Journey guides you Home to Yourself.
Taking a closer look at our self can feel overwhelming and at times even scary, especially when within ourselves linger doubts, fears, regrets, grief, and many other sources of pain and suffering. Yet we know that through open examination, there is a way to a brighter, more lighter way of being.
Opening our Hearts
Friendship, Partnership, Love, & Caring for another feeds our soul and shows us our path towards wholeness. Open yourself to Love!
Relationship love is composed of a series of complex inter-relating patterns that each partner participates to create while seeking to have his/her own needs met. At times, these patterns can interfere with our sense of happiness and create deep wounds that turn us away from loving and sharing with our partners. Understanding these patterns has the potential to open ourselves up, fulfill us, soothe us and help us grow independently as well as within our romantic relationship.
Embracing Connection
Home is where our story BEGINS. Where our inherent self is exposed, discovered, challenged, praised and shaped by our family.
Our beginnings are rooted in our experiences of family. Our developing self relies on these experiences to understand ourself and the world around us. Parents are not exempt of the learning challenges presented within the acceptance of bearing, adopting, or caring for precious littles beings. Family counselling can offer your family members a greater sense of understanding and trust within the family space and set the foundation for internal security and harmonious family connections.
Powerful transformations occur when we LIFT each other up. Our groups offer the opportunity to learn, share, and GROW together.
Do you remember being taught to "go as a group" when you ventured out into public spaces. These strategies for safety are taught to us to reduce the likelihood of harm occurring to us while we are out. Group therapy offers a similar space of safety to explore and share not only our adventures from the external world but how to resource ourselves internally. Through connecting, sharing experiences, and learning from one another, group therapy allows for a unique growth process that both joins and validates the self. Making way for the self to transform through a felt sense of belonging and understanding.
