SPECIALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES
Substance Use and Addiction
Substance use and 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 substances 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 it 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 more extended 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 and Loss
Grief and loss are emotional experiences that every person faces at some point in their lifetime. Though grief and loss are typically associated with losing a loved one, other causes for this challenge can relate to job loss, moving, relationship shifts, physical ability, medical diagnosis, divorce, and even the recent 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, and 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 and 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 with family and friends can also be impacted. This process can be clarified and managed through therapeutic support with strength-based perspectives.
Life & Career Transitions
As humans, we go through many voluntary or involuntary transitions. These may be life transitions such as becoming an adult, parent, widow, or caregiver, or career transitions such as losing a job, buying or selling a business, promotions, etc.
Men's Health
The stigma of mental health support has been profoundly damaging to men specifically. Men, like women, have unique and potentially harmful mental health concerns that can create a sense of isolation, anxiety and even higher rates of suicide. Men's health is specifically supported within our work with bespoke methods to ensure both educational and therapeutic aspects of men's mental health result in long-term healing.
