Individual therapy provides a safe space for you to work collaboratively with your individual therapist to achieve your short-term and long-term goals. We use an evidence-based approach after completing a thorough psychosocial assessment. We also integrate an anti-oppressive and culturally sensitive framework. The number of sessions depends on the complexity of the presenting concern and your readiness to commit and engage in therapy.

During therapy, homework plays an important role. It might include practicing new skills, reading short bits of information such as handouts provided by your therapist, and sharing feedback about your experience of practicing skills in between your sessions.

A couple's therapy is essentially a form of psychotherapy that helps you and your partner improve your relationship. Couples therapy can be helpful for resolving a variety of relationship problems, such as recurring conflicts, feelings of disconnection, an affair, or difficulties related to sex or external stressors, and more.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Couples:
There are some couples who experience high levels of conflict. There are times when reactions are triggered in an instant. As a result, they seem to move quickly from anger to harshness, blame, criticism, and hostility. Emotion dysregulation can negatively impact both partners and the relationship.

Many studies have shown that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is effective in treating emotion dysregulation problems. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of DBT for couples, parents, and families. The DBT approach in Couple/Marriage therapy promotes acceptance and validation of both partners as well as oneself. To gain a better understanding of communication patterns, DBT focuses on bringing awareness to each partner's experience in the present moment.

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT):
EFT focuses on improving the attachment and bonding between you and your partner. The therapist helps you understand and change patterns that lead to feelings of disconnection.
