WHY GROUP THERAPY FOR COUPLES?
During this unprecedented time of societal change, group therapy is an excellent way for couples to get cost-effective and evidence-based help and support for newly surfaced or longstanding struggles in their relationship. Weekend workshops are less personalized and interactive, whereas traditional couples therapy can be more intensive and expensive. Couples group therapy
is an excellent option that allows for learning, active participation, and an opportunity to interact with other couples – at a cost that is much lower than traditional couples therapy.

Masks, once reserved for Halloween and ski trips, are now an everyday necessity. Everyone from Old Navy to your grandma’s best friend are making them these days! But what is it like to actually wear one? Now that they are mandatory in indoor spaces pretty much everywhere across Canada, even the most hesitant among us may need to venture into mask-wearing territory.

Arguing with your romantic partner can be like a dance.
Maybe the arguments started during a tense time in your lives. Your partner hurt your feelings, you probably hurt them back. You feel like you’re keeping score, or that you’re being judged. And any time a touchy topic comes up – managing money, friends and family, behaviour – you’re afraid to make it worse so eventually you seize up talking altogether. It’s like dancing with a partner who pulls away, or who pushes you away.
Couples who decide to approach therapy bring with them unique and individual histories and experiences. Because of t ..read more

Have you noticed your child struggling with reading or writing? Or, has their teacher mentioned they’re falling behind? Know that you’re not alone. Many children, and even adults, have difficulties with learning. The great news is there are many services available to help your child.

As the season ramps up, understanding potential stress triggers, identifying the resulting behaviours and mitigating their impact will be crucial for staying happy and ..read more

To “numb” your emotions, you may often make impulsive or bad decisions, engage in unhealthy relationships or unhealthy behaviours — such as drugs, alcohol, sexual promiscuity, or even self-harm. DBT can help you cope and refocus your feeli ..read more
