Psychotherapists help patients with a wide variety of mental conditions and emotional difficulties. They use counseling, also known as talk therapy, to facilitate personal change through self-knowledge, emotional acceptance, and growth with the optimal development of personal resources. Psychotherapists hold special degrees or certifications in their field.

What is psychotherapy?
Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy addresses the underlying causes of your problems and suggests individualized treatment plans to overcome them.
Take the first step with us.
Change, even positive change, can be difficult. Psychotherapy challenges you to sit with uncomfortable emotions and explore your pain – to do so in the presence of another person is truly courageous.
Our Registered Psychotherapists work with you to help you navigate difficulties in coping with daily life and the impact of trauma, grief, depression, or anxiety.

Psychotherapy is a guided conversation.
Psychotherapy is primarily a communication-based form of therapy intended to help improve mental health and well-being, thinking, feeling, and social functioning. This form of treatment tends to explore past issues that might be contributing to present-day problems.
