Why Get Therapy?

Becoming our best selves and performing our best is difficult enough, but it’s almost impossible without considering our mental well-being. We all have physical health and mental health, and throughout life, you might need help with one or both to function optimally.

An injury, life-altering event, or other condition can leave you with both physical wounds and emotional scars. Through a holistic focus, our registered psychologist will help give you the tools to maintain a healthy body and mind.

What modalities do you use for treatment?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is one of many modalities used by our Psychologist.

Through 90-minute in-person sessions, the goal is to eliminate both physical and emotional reactions to triggers, by reprogram the way that distressing memories and images are stored within the brain. The treatment utilizes a technique referred to as Voluntary Memory / Image Replacement, coupled with the elicitation of rapid eye movements similar to those used during dreaming.

This evidence based form of treatment has been used in treating conditions and achieve beneficial results such as

Pain Management
Memory enhancement
PTSD
Depression
Anxiety
Phobias
Addictions / Substance Abuse
Grief

Panic Attacks
OCD
Family Issues
Victimization
Relationship Issues
Codependency
Stress

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Referral to See a Psychologist?

Not usually. If this is related to a motor vehicle accident claim, a referral is required by most insurance companies. However, if you’re seeking therapy outside of a motor vehicle claim, it is not usually required, though we encourage you to check with your personal insurance benefit provider!
