SPECIALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES
SUBSTANCE-USE & ADDICTION
Substance-Use & Addiction are common and result from the abuse of a substance in order to ‘numb or escape’ from internalized pain. We help get to the root of this pain, reducing suffering and shifting the need for addictive substance to be abused.
Anxiety
Anxiety is currently the most common mental health challenge we treat for adults and children. Anxiety is often associated with concepts of perfectionism, 'Type A' personalities or worrying. Anxiety is problematic as reduces overall well-being, social connection, and emotional regulation. We support clients in understanding Anxiety so it can be controlled rather than simply managed.
Depression
Depression is associated with intense feelings of sadness, lack of motivation and extreme physical fatigue. Depression has a range of categories that include depression, post-partum depression and manic depression. While it is normal for individuals to feel sadness from time to time, depression symptoms last for longer periods and their debilitating effects need therapeutic treatment for recovery. We support clients in their recovery, connecting with various resources to ensure a client’s depression is managed and reduced.
GRIEF & LOSS
Grief and Loss are emotional experiences that every person faces at some point in their lifetime. Though Grief and Loss is typically associated with the loss of a loved one, there are other causes for this challenge that can relate to job loss, moving, relationship shifts, physical ability, medical diagnosis, divorce, even the Covid 19 pandemic. Through our support, we can uncover new perspectives and aim to shift the grief process from suffering to growth.
EATING DISORDERS/BODY DYSMORPHIA
Eating disorders typically are identified as bulimia, anorexia nervosa and binge eating. However, other body-related disorders such as body dysmorphia, orthorexia, anorexia athletica can be associated with this area of concern. Typically, intrusive thoughts about one’s body are common and symptomatic of deeper concerns that can be resolved with therapeutic support.
DIVORCE & SEPARATION
Humans need connection. Relationships of love and safety signify the most important aspects of connection one has. Sometimes relationships can shift resulting in separation or divorce. This is a difficult process for individuals to navigate as it affects the emotional, sexual, financial, and even spiritual aspects of daily life. Relationships of family and friends can also be impacted. Through therapeutic support, this process can be clarified and managed with strength-based perspectives.
