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 [email protected]

Addiction

Psychotherapy can function as an important support if your use of substances or 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 addresses your behavioural patterns as well as the factors that contribute to the behaviours that have 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

Therapy offers a lifeline to those struggling with depression. Through compassionate counseling and interventions like emotion-focused therapy, therapists help individuals identify negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and rediscover hope. By addressing underlying causes, therapy paves the way towards healing and renewed vitality.

Divorce

Therapy provides a supportive space for individuals navigating the complex emotions of separation and divorce. Our psychotherapists help process grief, anger, and uncertainty, guiding clients towards acceptance and rebuilding. Coping strategies, communication skills, and self-care are emphasized to foster resilience and a healthier transition to a new chapter in life.

Relationships

Therapy nurtures bonds and seeks to resolve conflicts. Couples or family therapy fosters effective communication, empathy, and understanding, addressing issues like trust, intimacy, and power dynamics. Therapists facilitate growth and healing, empowering individuals to create healthier connections, deepen emotional intimacy, and build lasting, fulfilling relationships.
