November is MOVEMBER — a month to talk openly about men’s mental health.
Men are often taught to “be strong” and carry everything alone. But silence is heavy.
💙Reaching out is strength.
💙Being seen is strength.
💙Healing is strength.
This month, we’re honouring the men who are navigating stress, burnout, loneliness, identity pressures, and emotions they were never taught to name. You deserve support — not just when things fall apart, but long before that.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy, consider this your sign.
Your mental health matters. Your story matters. You matter.
Book a session today — we’re here when you’re ready. 💙

November 13-19 is Transgender Awareness week!
🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️
This week, Momentous celebrates the resilience, creativity, and brilliance of trans and gender-diverse communities. Your joy, authenticity, and courage make our world richer and more connected.

We also recognize the many barriers to community support, gender-affirming care, mental health, and personal wellness that many trans individuals face, sometimes with catastrophic and heartbreaking consequences—marked by the Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, later this month.

To our trans clients and community members: we see you, we honour you, and we’re grateful for the many ways you show up in your truth. You deserve care, affirmation, and spaces where you can thrive. At Momentous Counselling, we’re committed to offering gender-affirming, trauma-informed support—this week and every week.

Anger often gets a bad reputation — but it’s not a “bad” emotion. Like all emotions, anger has a purpose. It signals that something feels unjust, hurtful, or out of control. The problem isn’t anger itself — it’s what we do with it.

Learning anger management isn’t about suppressing emotion. It’s about slowing down enough to understand what your anger is trying to tell you.

At Momentous Counselling, we can help you explore anger with compassion and learn tools to regulate emotions while staying connected to yourself and others. Alex, Brent, and Sarah work with individuals in this area and are accepting new clients!

✨ No-Vember: The Power of Saying No ✨
This month, we’re honouring the art of “No.”
No to overcommitting.
No to guilt-driven yeses.
No to abandoning ourselves to please others.
Each no we say is actually a yes — a yes to rest, authenticity, and self-respect.
Setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away. It’s about building healthier connections grounded in honesty and care.
If saying no feels uncomfortable, that’s okay. It’s a practice. Start small. Notice how your body feels when you honour your limits. That’s self-trust growing. 💛
Here’s to a No-Vember filled with aligned choices, grounded energy, and compassionate boundaries.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you explore your own reasons for change (without pressure or judgment).
It’s about meeting you where you are, not telling you where to go.
Whether you’re working through anxiety, substance use, health goals, or just feeling disconnected from your motivation, this approach helps uncover your “why” so you can take steps that truly fit you.
💡 In MI sessions, your therapist will:
🌱 Listen with empathy
🪞 Reflect your thoughts back with curiosity
🚪 Help you explore ambivalence (that “part of me wants to, but…” feeling)
🔥 Support your confidence and readiness for change
Change doesn’t start with force; it starts with understanding yourself.
💬 What’s one change you’ve been thinking about, but haven’t started yet?
Stay kind to yourself, you’re doing the work 🌿

✨ Expressive Art Therapy with Elisabeth ✨
Elisabeth offers a unique approach to therapy through Expressive Arts, creating a space where creativity meets healing. With additional Sandtray Therapy training, she helps clients explore their inner world in a safe and supportive way.
Her sessions often include:
Sandtray work for symbolic exploration
Markers and creative drawing for emotional expression
Magazine cut-outs and collage for self-discovery

Story time: Client came to therapy saying, “I don’t want to be like my parents. But I keep reacting just like them.” Together, we traced those patterns back, understood where they came from, and practiced new ways of responding. Slowly, they started pausing, choosing differently, and creating the life they actually wanted and not the one they inherited.
✨ Takeaway: Healing means you can break cycles and create new ones.

✏️ Back-to-school jitters are real.

For many kids, the start of a new school year brings excitement — but it can also stir up anxiety, stress, or even trauma reminders. From separation worries to bullying experiences, or past difficulties at school, these “back-to-school jitters” can feel overwhelming for both kids and parents.

Elisabeth is specially trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), a research-based approach proven to help children and youth manage trauma symptoms, build coping skills, and regain confidence. Her training and experience make her an excellent fit for supporting children who:

📚Feel anxious about returning to school
📚Have experienced trauma connected to learning or school settings
📚Struggle with sleep, concentration, or emotional regulation during transitions

With the right support, kids can not only face September with more ease, but also develop tools that help them thrive long-term. 💙
