Our Counselling

---

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. 

Animal assisted therapy can offer many benefits.  Raleigh, our resident golden retriever and therapy-dog-in-training, provides gentle, non-judgemental comfort.  Scientific  studies have shown that therapy dogs increase levels of serotonin and oxytocin, improve affect, and decrease anxiety symptoms.  Raleigh loves clients of all ages!  Let us know if you would like to meet him.

Anger and the inability to manage your emotional responses can have a great impact on an individual and loved ones around them.  Emotions like anger, frustration, sadness, and irritability can stem from complex trauma, relationships and work stress, substance use, depression and anxiety, and other neurological factors.  An individualized counselling plan can help to deescalate emotional responses and enhance emotional awareness and teach strategies to encourage self-regulation and prosocial behaviours.
