Clinical Therapy

Child, Adolescent, and Adult Therapy

What is Therapy?

Our team of dedicated Clinical Psychologists and Registered Psychologists provide evidence-based therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. An evidence-based treatment approach is employed that is tailored to your individual needs to help reduce distress and improve psychological wellbeing. Our passionate psychologists help foster a safe and welcoming environment to help you navigate the issues you face in a trusting space.

How Can a Psychologist Help Me?

People engage in therapy for many different reasons. Therapy not only benefits people experiencing serious mental health difficulties, but also people who want to make a positive change in their lives or want to better understand themselves. You don’t need to have a diagnosis or be in crisis to benefit from psychological therapy.

Therapy can be helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just want support with something you’re going through—whether it’s related to emotions, relationships, life changes, or everyday stress.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure at first. If something in your life is affecting your wellbeing or getting in the way of how you want to live, talking to a psychologist might be a good place to start.
