Treatment Plans

As each situation differs, so do our treatment plans – we will work with you to structure a treatment plan to meet your specific needs. After an initial assessment session to determine and clarify your goals, we can make recommendations on how to navigate the path you choose. Our team has a broad experience base with a variety of interventions and presenting concerns, which allows us to uniquely tailor our strategies to provide you with the best possible service. Interventions are rooted in scientifically supported practices, ensuring highly effective strategies are applied to your unique situation.

We take a collaborative team approach, you are always in the driver’s seat to determine your goals, focus and pace. On-going progress check-ins allow us to adapt as we go, shifting direction as necessary to provide you with the excellent care you deserve.

With a team of multiple therapists with valuable experience we are uniquely positioned to offer a diverse array of services to address a vast range of concerns. No matter what you’re wrestling with, we can point you in the right direction. More information on some of the specific services we offer is available below. This list is far from exhaustive; please reach out to explore how we can best support you.

Faith

There has historically been a rather contentious relationship between the field of psychology and organized religion. We are passionate about breaking down the false dichotomy that they should not or cannot co-exist and will work with you to incorporate your beliefs and traditions; honouring the strength and value that they provide in enriching our lives. Whatever your faith background or denomination, if your faith beliefs impact your current experience, we offer a completely open and non-judgemental environment to explore and clarify your thoughts and will honour and incorporate your faith practices.

Anxiety

Anxiety is so much more complicated than being stressed about something. Empirically supported best practices guide treatment for anxiety including addressing both the physiological (body based) and cognitive (thought based) components of anxiety. With strategies to reality-test the negative and intrusive thoughts, paired with emotional and physiological regulation, CBT and DBT pair up to create a significant improvement in symptoms. While anxiety tends to be quite biologically based, symptoms CAN be well managed. With the anxiety out of the way, you can go back to living unencumbered and being your true self.

Couples Counselling

A large part of Andy’s practice is couples’ work. Regardless of the situation, he will work with you to establish goals; whether it be bettering communication, connection, working toward reconciliation after infidelity, or assisting to navigate the challenging process of uncoupling, Andy can provide a non-judgemental space to do the work.

Eating Disorders

Our relationships with food and our bodies are complex and often complicated. As an expert in the field of dietary restriction, body dissatisfaction, disordered eating patterns, and over exercise for the past 20 years, Madelaine offers a way to break free of the disastrous negative cycles of hating our bodies and controlling them with calories. Using empirically supported best practices including the Healthy At Every Size (HAES) model, effective treatment focuses on establishing physical health & wellness, removing guilt and shame around food, and working towards body acceptance. This can’t be done in isolation; effective recovery will include aspects that are uniquely YOU, including addressing anxiety, building self image and identity, living for something bigger than just how we look. You have so much more to offer. Book with Madelaine >

Emergency Service Providers

We deeply respect the work that first responders do in our community. Unfortunately, there are mental health job hazards that come with the territory. Traumatic stress symptoms respond well to psychotherapy, whether it’s in response to a crisis, or an accumulation of stress from shouldering others’ burdens long term. We offer the support and insight unique to the challenging circumstances that come along with a career in emergency services.

Kids (8+) Teens & Families

Growing up is hard. Parenting is hard. Kids are wrestling with a changing world, increasing expectations and an overall population-level increase in ADHD and emotional dysregulation. Our uniquely individualized approach means we can establish exactly what your family needs support with and provide a tailored treatment strategy. With a playful approach and a balance of individual work with kids as well as parent coaching, we can build concrete strategies to manage emotions and behavioural challenges. First appointments for kids and families are conducted with just the parent(s) to gather history and determine the best way forward. Let’s get your family peaceful and fun again.

Neurodivergence

Diversity is beautiful! And neurodivergent diagnoses can come with definite challenges. We use a strength-based approach to help facilitate increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Harnessing individuality to make a unique contribution to the world, and learning mitigation strategies around our areas of struggle sets us up for success. From parent support to ADHD coaching, to social skills training, we will work with you to create a treatment plan that address your individual needs.

Sexuality

Over the course of his career Andy has worked with clients asking important questions relating to sex, sexuality and sexual expression. Answers to these questions inform our identity – this understanding is a vital component in the process of discovering who we are. Providing insight honed over 20 years in the field, exploring these questions in a non-judgmental environment, seeking increased understanding, is the goal. Book with Andy >

Spiritual Abuse

Abuse comes in many forms. Andy has successfully walked many individuals through the process of recovering from abuse perpetrated by spiritual leaders or members of their faith communities. A lived faith community experience helps to guide Andy’s work in this area. If this is part of your story, Andy is here to help.
