Short Term Solution Oriented Brief Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
Why solution focused therapy?
Solution focused therapy is a future-oriented, goal-directed approach to solving human problems of living. The focus is on the client’s health rather than the problem, on strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, and on skills, resources and coping abilities that would help in reaching future goals
What is solution based brief therapy ideal for?
When used SFBT can stand alone as a therapeutic intervention, or it can be used along with other therapy styles and treatments. It is used to treat people of all ages and a variety of issues, including child behavioral problems, family dysfunction, domestic or child abuse, addiction, and relationship problems.
What are the three rules of solution focused treatment?
- Change is constant and certain
- Emphasis should be on what is changeable and possible
- Clients must want to change
- Clients are the experts in therapy and must develop their own goals
- Clients already have the resources and strengths to solve their problems

Somatic Therapy
What is Somatic Therapy?
Mindfulness, moment to moment awareness without judgement, how to love yourself fully and completely (self compassion).
Most of our behaviour patterns stem from maladaptive strategies that we learned as children to cope with our wounding. This self love and healing therapy helps by working with the felt sense to help release shocks in the nervous system in a loving and compassionate way.
What is Felt Sense?
The felt sense is an open non judging awareness of your emotional state as well as awareness of your intuition. These vague body sensations correspond to unresolved emotional conflict which tends to resolve when one simply pays attention.
Benefits
- How to make conscious healthy choices based on today’s needs rather than historic patterns and behaviours.
- How to harness internal wisdom.
- How to self regulate.
- How to develop a sense of wholeness and belonging.
- How to be less reactive and develop a new way of relating to our circumstances rather than trying to avoid or hang on to what we like or dislike.
Working with felt sense and meditation and using 5 sense reality, sub personalities and shadow work we decondition belief systems that keep individuals stuck in their trauma, learning to develop present moment awareness that allows us to let go of rigid patterns and beliefs.

Medication Support
Our Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (IPSSM) provides supportive, personalized medication care as part of your overall wellness journey. Through a comprehensive assessment, we explore your symptoms, history, and current challenges to determine whether medication may be helpful for you. For some, medication can ease symptoms and create more stability; for others, therapy and non-medication approaches may be sufficient.
If medication is appropriate, services can include prescriptions, renewals, and ongoing monitoring to ensure it remains effective and aligned with your needs. We work collaboratively with you, so you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your care decisions.
We offer a comprehensive 30–90 minute assessment designed to better understand your current mental health, symptoms, and overall well-being. During this session, we will also review your existing medication protocol, if applicable, to evaluate its effectiveness, side effects, and alignment with your needs. This process allows us to determine whether adjustments, renewals, or new medication options may be helpful, while also considering non-medication approaches. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized recommendations so you feel informed, supported, and confident in your care.
Cost Structure: 60-90 minute sessions
- Initial First Visit Assessment $200
- Psychiatric Assessment $550 includes

Emotional Support Therapy
Emotional Support Animal Assessments
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a pet that provides comfort and support to individuals living with emotional or mental health challenges. Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks. However, their mere presence can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health conditions.
ESAs are recognized by federal and provincial laws in certain contexts, giving individuals the right to live with their ESA in housing that otherwise does not allow pets, and in many cases, to travel with them. Find out more here. Book an appointment
ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder, or autism, is a neuro-developmental disorder that impacts brain development. The result is that most individuals experience communication problems, difficulty with social interactions and a tendency to repeat specific patterns of behavior. They may also have a markedly restricted range of activities and interests.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is typically accompanied by co-occurring medical conditions. Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are common. Any of these conditions may severely impact an individual’s quality of life.
The term “spectrum” refers to a range or continuum of severity or of developmental impairment. Children and adults with ASDs may have particular characteristics in common but the condition covers a wide spectrum, with individual differences in the following:
- Number and particular kinds of symptoms
- Severity: Mild to severe
- Age of onset
- Levels of functioning
- Challenges with social interactions.
It is important to keep in mind that children, teens and adults with autism vary widely in their needs, skills and abilities. There is no standard “type” or “typical” person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Undiagnosed ASD
With 25 year in practice, our awareness into Adult Autism has been heightened by an increased population of undiagnosed ASD in adult women and men. Our expertise in ASD allows us to work with our clients and couples to identify certain behaviors that have been misunderstood for years.
The first step to healing and accepting oneself is to understand that these behaviors can be related to an undiagnosed mental health of ASD and can be further diagnosed through a professional evaluation and supported and followed by our in house professionals.
