In-person services are available at our clinic in Sydney as well as virtual and phone therapy services across the province. Current students will finish their practicum in April so this is our last offering for new or returning clients until the fall.

Hello friends and community,
I wanted to share that Jim, our virtual practicum student from Athabasca University, has space for more clients. This is our free mental health therapy student clinic so there is no charge for this service. He will be with us for 10 more weeks so clients can have 8-10 therapy sessions with him during that time. This timeframe would allow for meaningful therapeutic work to be achieved. If you are interested in this service, please reach out to our intake at info@thrivecapebreton.com.

After Jim finishes his practicum in April we will be taking a break with our student clinic for the summer but we will be resuming in September with two in-person student therapists.

Thanks everyone!

Good morning! We have been inactive on Facebook but wanted to share that our office building is still without power so all in person appointments are cancelled until power is restored. Some of our therapists have power at home and are offering phone and virtual appointments but others are still without and unable to offer sessions. Please communicate directly with your therapists to discuss options. We know many are struggling through this storm aftermath and our thoughts are with you and with the crews working hard to get us back on track.

With children I use play therapy as well as encourage parent/ guardian involvement. I am trained in several different therapy modalities including EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
