Approaches we use
Every client comes in with something different, so we don't lock into a single method. Our individual therapists are trained across the evidence-based approaches below, and your therapist will draw on whichever fits what you're actually working on.
-
CBT is one of the most studied approaches for anxiety, depression, burnout, and the stuck thought patterns that keep someone caught in the same loop for years. Clients working through worry, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, or low mood often start here. It's structured and skills-based, which means you leave sessions with specific things to try between visits, not just insights to sit with.
-
DBT was developed for clients who feel emotions intensely and want concrete tools for managing distress, regulating difficult feelings and building healthier relationships. Our clinicians draw on DBT skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness for clients dealing with reactivity, mood swings or self-harm urges. It can be used as a full structured approach or integrated alongside other modalities.
-
Grief shows up differently for everyone, and there's no timeline that's supposed to apply universally. We work with clients processing the death of a loved one, anticipatory grief while caring for someone who's dying, the end of a long relationship or marriage, pregnancy loss, or the loss of identity. Sessions move at your pace, and there's no pressure to be at a particular stage of acceptance or recovery by any particular date.
-
Individual therapy for clients navigating substance use, alcohol use, or behavioural addictions like gambling, food, or screens. We also deal with the underlying anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational patterns that often sit underneath. Our approach is non-judgmental, harm-reduction informed when necessary, and abstinence-supportive when that's the client's goal. We work alongside any external supports already in place, whether that's 12-step, recovery groups, or medical care, rather than asking you to replace them.
How to get started
Book a free consultation
Start with a free 15-minute call. No intake forms, no pressure to commit, just a conversation about what you're working on and what kind of support might actually help.
Match with a therapist
Based on the call, we'll suggest the therapist whose training and style fits what you told us. You're not locked in. If the first session doesn't feel right, we'll set you up with someone else.
Have your first session
A 50-minute session, in person in St. John's or virtually from anywhere in Newfoundland and Labrador. We use it to understand your full picture and start mapping a path forward.
Move at your own pace
Most clients meet weekly or every other week, but it's up to you. You can take breaks, switch therapists, go more often during harder seasons, or pause and come back later.
