Couples Therapy
Our therapists are relationship specialists. We work with couples to help you and your partner develop the skills necessary to overcome your relationship difficulties. We will help you find the root causes of your relationship issues, uncover and express painful emotions, and provide support and guidance to help resolve them.
Individual Therapy
Individual counselling is an opportunity to meet one-on-one with one of our therapists to reflect on past experiences, to look at current behaviors and develop a plan to meet future goals. Our therapists focus on relationships as well as symptoms and difficult behaviors related to concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, life transitions, and self esteem.
Family Therapy
We offer counselling to family members so they can feel more connected to one another, and are able to engage in healthier family discussions. The family therapist can help each member share their feelings and concerns safely so that individual relationships within the family can begin to heal. The family emerges from family therapy having learned skills that foster secure, happy, and loving relationships.
Teen Therapy
Our experienced and fully trained therapists are pleased to offer professional support for teens to help them flourish. At Couples Therapy Centre, we work with the teen to help them think through and process the problems that they are experiencing, at a rate that they are comfortable with. Therapy gives them time to explore their thoughts and feelings and helps them better understand their situation. It can help them cope with their emotions and enable them to make positive choices in their lives.
