Therapy Services...
...because life should be as rewarding as possible.
Life is unscripted. We do the best we can with what we're given,
trying to cope with twists and turns that are often unexpected. So therapy should never be about blame or finger-pointing. Rather, therapy is teamwork: I may be an expert in what I do, but you are the expert in you. We put our heads together to make sense of the present, gain a basic understanding of how we got here, and most importantly, find ways to make things better. This philosophy is simple, but powerful. And it works, whether the issues are within the individual (e.g. anxiety, depression, personality issues), the couple (marital/sexual issues), the family, or the workplace (e.g. burnout, interpersonal conflicts).
Although my primary treatment modality is cognitive behavioural (CBT - the treatment of choice for many problem areas), I draw from a variety of theoretical and clinical underpinnings so the therapy is tailored to the individual, not the theory.
Assessment Services...
...because we all deserve to function to our full potential.
The testing process is like a jigsaw puzzle. We collect as many pieces of information as possible and put it
all together to make a meaningful whole. The more pieces we have, the more we understand an individual's
strengths and weaknesses; that understanding allows us to make changes now to ensure a better future. Cognitive, psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing and confirm or rule out diagnoses of ADHD, Learning Disabilities (e.g. dyslexia, dysgraphia, mathematics disability), Developmental Delays, Asperger's Syndrome and difficulties with Executive Functioning.
For adults, the testing process is less complex but equally informative. This process can help make sense of a lifetime of struggle and point the way toward new and more effective ways of functioing. It's never too late to make a difference!
