Individual Therapy COST: $180
50 minutes

Individual therapy may be for your if you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, fears, trauma, stress, low self-esteem or self-confidence. Individual therapy may also be used for the treatment of various mental health issues and employs a variety of techniques tailored individually in collaboration with you to meet your needs. I am trained in a variety of modalities to support you in reaching your goals. Some of the techniques often used are cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive processing therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and emotion-focused therapy.

Couples Therapy COST: $200
50 minutes

​Couples counselling is often used to help with effective communication in relationships. Sometimes couples struggle with being able to communicate their needs to one another resulting in feelings of disconnect and isolation. Couples counselling can help to learn and develop curiosity about communication patterns so that connection and intimacy can be restored.

Family Therapy COST:
$225 50 minutes; $330 90 minutes
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).
COST: $125

 

Over time family situations can change through divorce, separation, grief, loss, or specific mental health challenges that result in unique and challenging circumstances. Family therapy can offer a supportive environment for collaborative problem-solving that allows every member of the family to feel safe to express themselves.

 

I am also specifically trained in family-based therapy and emotional focused family therapy for the treatment of eating disorders.

EFT is a form of Energy Psychology that is based on the ancient Chinese meridian energy system. It is based on the concept that negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the body’s energy system. EFT is used to clear the energy block or disruption by tapping on the end points of the body’s meridian systems. Focusing on a specific issue and tapping on end points of meridians sends pulses of energy to rebalance the system and rewire the brain’s conditioned responses. EFT works to gently release traumatic memories, phobias, and cravings, as well as limiting beliefs and negative thoughts and emotions.
