Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioural therapy is a process that’s designed to increase our positive moods and behaviors. It focuses on the relationship between one’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior – which can sometimes be at least partially fueled by negative thought patterns about oneself such as feeling incompetent or worthless.
It is hard to control which thoughts come up in our minds, but we can change the things that happen when those thoughts do. CBT therapy is an excellent way of doing this.

Individual therapy programs are collaboratively developed during initial assessment sessions.
Our treatment focuses directly on the client’s symptoms and enhancing commitment to one’s values, which is achieved through workshops that help individuals identify their strengths and weaknesses in order for us to know how we can best serve them as a therapist or counsellor.
Anxiety is a debilitating and often crippling feeling that can be felt in so many different places, whether it’s at home or on an airplane.
That’s why we help clients face anxiety where they experience it – no matter the place because this makes it easier for them to practice their skills between sessions which are fundamental components of CBT and what make CBT so effective.
It is our combination of science, creativity, as well as emphasis on consistent skill practices that helps give people back control over not only how they feel but also how they live every day life.
