Areas of Focus

While psychotherapy is not a one size fits all process, below you will get a brief understanding of how the therapeutic process may unfold for different presenting concerns. Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to our Client Care Coordinator at hello@thesacredself.ca

Addiction

Psychotherapy can function as an important support if your use of substances or if engagement in unhelpful behaviours (e.g. gambling, use of pornography etc.) is impeding your ability to participate in day-to-day activities and feel connected to yourself and others. Psychotherapy will address your behavioural patterns and the factors that contribute to the addiction that has become disruptive to your life.

Anger & Emotion Regulation

Psychotherapy can support you in exploring and managing your intense emotions more constructively. Psychotherapy can support you in fostering increased self-awareness, including the triggers that lead to your experience of anger (or other intense emotions), the emotions that underpin your experience of emotion dysregulation (such as fear, sadness, shame, loneliness etc.), and support you in learning to communicate your needs more effectively, as to cultivate more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

Anxiety

Psychotherapy can support you if you are feeling overwhelmed by persistent worry and fear. Through various therapeutic interventions, you can begin to understand your triggers, develop coping strategies, and challenge negative thought patterns, ultimately leading to reduced anxiety and improved well-being.

Childhood/Relational Trauma

Psychotherapy serves as a path to experiencing a sense of safety in yourself and in relationships with others. By cultivating an emotionally supportive environment, our psychotherapists can support you by guiding you in processing painful memories, emotions, and negative beliefs. By engaging in this process, it is hoped that you can experience an increased sense of resilience, self-compassion, and a restoration of a sense of safety and control, to support you in living a more fulfilled life.

Grief and Loss

Grief therapy aims to provide solace to those navigating the profound pain of loss. Our psychotherapists offer empathetic and compassionate support, encouraging expression of emotions and memories.

2SLGBTQIA+

The Sacred Self Wellness Collective strives to be a sanctuary of acceptance and understanding for those who are queer or queer curious. Our 2SLGBTQIA+-affirming therapists aim to create a safe space to address unique challenges like identity, discrimination, and coming out. With cultural competence and sensitivity, they can help you explore and express your authentic self.

Depression

Through compassionate interventions our therapists will help you identify negative thought patterns, process emotions, develop coping skills, and rediscover hope.

Divorce

Psychotherapy provides a supportive space for individuals navigating the complex emotions of separation and divorce. Our psychotherapists will help you process the grief, anger, and uncertainty that can often arise in the process of separation and divorce, while helping you take steps into the future you didn’t plan for.

Relationships

Couples therapy nurtures bonds and seeks to understand the patterns that inform conflict. Couples or family therapy fosters effective communication, empathy, and understanding, addressing concerns such as issues with communication, breaches of trust, a lack of intimacy, and power dynamics. Our therapists will help you facilitate growth and healing, empowering you to create healthier connections and deepen emotional intimacy.
