Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Registered Psychotherapists/ Social Workers work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP)/ Certified Nurse Psychotherapist (CNP) /Social Worker (RSW) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

Note: Our Certified Nurse Psychotherapist is able to prescribe and monitor medications (if required) as part of the ongoing counselling/therapy plan.
