Anxiety & Fear

Most of us feel some level of anxiety and fear every so often. But when anxiety interferes with daily life, causing a range of symptoms like constant worries that are difficult to control, insomnia, fear of losing control or dying, shortness of breath, shaking, dizziness, digestive problems, and an overwhelming sense of panic – this prevents you from getting things done and enjoying life.

Therapy for Depression

The emotional pain of depression can be no less than the physical pain. It can reveal itself in a variety of ways for different people. Physically, depression can manifest itself through extreme fatigue, lethargy, a loss of appetite or overeating/binge eating, lack of sleep, or oversleeping. Emotionally, depression can present itself as a feeling of utter pointlessness and hopelessness, low self-esteem, feelings of guilt and shame, and a deep sense of sadness among many others.

Anger Management

Anger is an important human emotion that requires expression as much as our other feelings like happiness and sadness. It is when anger turns violent and is difficult to control, affecting your relationships – it brings your attention to addressing it. When we learn to manage anger, it allows us to stand for ourselves, protect our personal boundaries and express our needs and feelings in an assertive and respectful way.

Stress Management

Stress is inevitable in our life. We deal with various factors in our environment like health problems, stressful work situations, balancing career and family, relationships, and financial strain. Even positive life events like getting married, or starting a new job can be stressful. As a result, when under a significant amount of stress, we are more likely to experience higher levels of fear and anxiety, as well as a worsening of other mental and physical health problems.

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

OCD manifests itself in unwanted and disturbing thoughts, images, and urges or compulsions. People with OCD are preoccupied with orderliness, perfectionism, and a need to be in control to the point that it is difficult to complete tasks. By engaging in repetitive behaviors, you might be dealing with a great deal of anxiety, which is caused by deep and typically unconscious anxiety-related beliefs and emotions like different fears, shame, and guilt.

Grief & Bereavement Counselling

The loss of a loved one changes your life in every way and invites a range of emotions. One day you may feel shock and denial and the next day the extreme feelings of sadness, loneliness, and anxiety catch you when you are most vulnerable.

Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Many people experience trauma in their lifetime: neglect, emotional, physical, sexual abuse, or a sudden loss of a loved one. While vivid flashbacks might linger in the early days after trauma, at later stages for many people it becomes unconscious, causing daily struggle, affecting the mind, emotions, relationships, and health.

Self-Esteem - Relationship with yourself and others

Have you ever felt not good enough, overly criticize yourself, felt inferior, compared yourself to others, practiced negative self-talk, or acted indecisively in minor and major decision making? Self-esteem issues may affect many areas of life: relationships, professional and personal growth, your mental or even physical health.

Life Changes & Transitions

It is inevitable for us to experience change at various stages in our lives. Starting a new job, getting married or divorced and having children – these are the changes that many of us get to experience in a lifetime. Often, these changes and life transitions may be overwhelming since they intensify and surface our inner unresolved issues, fears and insecurities.

Parenting Challenges

Raising children brings on a set of unique challenges at every stage in life. Aiming for the best for our children, we might end up battling with them over homework, bedtime, technology, chores, sibling relationships, or dealing with teenager’s common “traps” like backtalk and not taking responsibility. You are not alone!

Couples Counseling

Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?
