Getting Help

Psychotherapy addresses personal difficulties and challenges. It provides an opportunity for a person, family, or couple, to talk openly and confidentially about their concerns and feelings with a trained professional. Almost all types of psychotherapy involve developing a therapeutic relationship and working together to address problematic thoughts, feelings or behaviours. There are many issues that psychotherapy can help.

Psychotherapy aims to increase a person’s sense of wellbeing and to develop capacities for improved relationships. Psychotherapists are sensitive to a client’s needs and utilizes a wide range of skills and techniques to facilitate the client’s goals.
