Registered Psychotherapy
​
Psychotherapy is a way to address and understand personal, often problematic, difficulties in your life. Registered Psychotherapists are trained to allow a person to confidentially discuss their feelings and/or emotions and together, come up with a plan to address those issues.
Psychotherapy can support people with situational crisis, chronic mental illness, concurrent disorders (addictions and mental health) or perhaps you just need someone to listen.
​
There are many different modalities of treatment to use in Psychotherapy. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Skills.
It is impossible to suggest a specific modality, until an initial assessment is completed. The first psychotherapy appointment is an assessment and information gathering session, so I can best offer suggestions and recommendations for therapeutic treatment.
​
After an initial assessment appointment, clients are provided recommendations and suggestions for therapy. Psychotherapy is a commitment on the client and therapist's behalf. Often it takes time to build a professional relationship with your therapist so you feel comfortable and secure sharing information.
