Cobblestone Counselling and Psychotherapy

Cobblestone Counselling and Psychotherapy Offering In-person and Online Counselling Services Like all services at Cobblestone, Counselling services are focused on treating people holistically.

We see the person as a whole and employ a person-centered, collaborative and integrative approach to counselling and therapy. Finding a therapist that is uniquely fitted to your needs is especially important to us at Cobblestone. We want you to find the right fit. Cobblestone has a panel of counsellors for you to choose from, each bringing their own specializations and ways of working. Counselling helps people (from all walks of life) explore options, find solutions, develop coping strategies, identify strengths, locate information, provide resources and promote healing, resiliency and self-empowerment. The length of service and frequency of sessions may vary. You will work with your counsellor to develop goals and a timeline for accomplishing those goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CPT);
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT);
Narrative Therapy;
Mindfulness-based methods;
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR);

The window of tolerance describes the emotional zone where you feel balanced, present, and able to cope with daily stressors. In this zone, you may still feel pressure or challenge, but you’re grounded, steady, and able to manage life from a place of clarity.

When you move into hyperarousal, you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, reactive, or “amped up.” When you move into hypoarousal, you may feel shut down, numb, disconnected, or fatigued.

Stress and trauma can gradually shrink this window, making it easier to become dysregulated and harder to return to equilibrium.

Therapy can help expand your window of tolerance by providing tools for nervous system regulation, offering a safe space to process trauma, and helping you reconnect with your grounded state when you move outside your window.

Amanda Graff is a polyvagal-theory-trained, nervous-system-informed therapist at Cobblestone who can support you in this work.

Tips from Your Cobblestone Counsellors 💙

🌱 Growth Feels Uncomfortable — and That’s a Good Thing 🌱

Change is hard. Growth is uncomfortable.
But that “ugh” feeling? It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong — it means you’re doing something new.

When you start shifting your thoughts, emotions, or habits:
✨ Old patterns push back.
✨ Fear and doubt show up.
✨ Your nervous system sounds the alarm.

💡 But here’s the truth: Discomfort is part of transformation.
Every small, brave step moves you closer to clarity, confidence, and the life you’re working toward.

🌸 If it feels uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean you’re stuck — it often means you’re on the right track.
Keep going. Keep growing. You’re building strength with every step.

🇨🇦 Today, We Remember — and We Care for Those Still Healing 🧠❤️

On this Remembrance Day, we honour the bravery and sacrifice of our Veterans.
We remember the stories, the service — and the strength it took to stand for others.

But we also recognize that not all wounds are visible.
Many Veterans continue to live with the effects of concussions and traumatic brain injuries, often quietly and without recognition.

🧠 The Invisible Impact

Brain injuries can change how someone thinks, feels, and experiences the world.
They can affect memory, focus, balance, sleep, mood, and communication.
They can make daily tasks feel overwhelming — even when everything looks fine on the outside.

For many Veterans, these challenges came from moments of service the rest of us may never see.
And healing from them takes time, patience, and support — not just strength.

💛 Our Commitment

At Cobblestone, we are here to support Veterans through compassionate, individualized recovery care, including:

• Concussion & Neurological Rehabilitation
• Memory, Communication & Cognitive Support
• Dizziness & Headache Management
• Trauma-Informed Mental Health Care
• Safe, Supported Return-to-Work / Activity Guidance

We meet each person where they are — with respect, understanding, and a belief in recovery.

Because you should never have to heal alone.

🇨🇦 On this day, and every day

We remember your service.
We honour your experience.
We stand with you in healing — with dignity and care.

If you or someone you love is living with symptoms of concussion or TBI, we are here to help.

Today, we remember. 🍁
On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who have served—and those who continue to serve our country.

To our veterans, military members, and their families:
Thank you.
Your strength and dedication will never be forgotten.

May we carry forward your legacy with gratitude, compassion, and hope.

Lest we forget. ❤️

Got it — here is a shorter, tighter Instagram-ready version:

🧠✨ What is EMDR Therapy?
And how can it support trauma, chronic pain, concussion, and brain injury recovery?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess overwhelming or “stuck” experiences so the nervous system can return to balance.

Using gentle bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps reduce emotional distress, release tension patterns, and support clearer, calmer regulation in the body and mind.

Benefits may include:
✅ Reduced emotional intensity
✅ Better nervous system regulation
✅ Relief from neuroplastic/chronic pain
✅ Improved mood, clarity, sleep & stress tolerance

Concussion & Brain Injury Support:
EMDR can also help reduce sensory overwhelm, headache patterns, emotional reactivity, and the stress responses that often persist long after injury.

On this rainy, cold day, let’s remember to move, breathe, and soften into the season. ☔🕯️

Your body is attuning to the rhythm of release and renewal.
A neuroscience-informed yoga practice honours this natural shift by:

• 🌙 Emphasizing slower flows, longer exhales, and restorative shapes — supporting vagal tone and calm.
• 🔄 Encouraging interoception — tuning into the subtle shifts in breath, sensation, and emotion.
• 🪷 Creating space for reflection, journaling, and mindful movement — soothing the limbic system and inviting clarity.
• 🔗 Using breathwork and gentle mobility to regulate energy dips and support your body’s natural transitions.
• 🕯️ Inviting warmth, candlelight, and sensory-rich environments to nourish your skin and calm overstimulated nerves.

Allow yourself to slow down, reconnect, and flow with the change of seasons. 🍂

✨ Book today with Amanda, our Cobblestone Yoga and Meditation Therapist, and experience the healing power of mindful movement and breath.

Your body and mind aren’t broken — they’re communicating. 💚
Every ache, every emotion, every sign of burnout is your system’s way of saying: “I need support.”

True healing doesn’t come from pushing harder or doing more — it starts with listening, understanding, and giving both your body and your mind what they truly need.

✨ You don’t have to hustle your way to health.
✨ You don’t have to carry stress and pain alone.
✨ You don’t have to guess your way through symptoms.

At Cobblestone Medicine and Rehab Centres, we believe mental and physical health are deeply connected.
Our holistic team works together — from counsellors and naturopathic doctors to physiotherapists, massage therapists, and more — to help you feel balanced, supported, and whole again.

🌿 Healing begins when your mind and body are in sync.
Let’s build your personalized care plan today.
