Couples Counselling 101: How do you know if it’s time to try? Kristen has the info!. is not super effective as a last ditch effort when your foot is already out the door. What it can do for people who are committed to making changes for the better is this: .They learn to have open, honest, productive discussions that are solution-focused..They can learn to recognize defense mechanisms, and deescalate intense conversations to prioritize the relationship..Focusing on what’s right rather than who’s right..Couples therapy can be a great opportunity for partners to evolve together and rediscover how to be allies amid shifting priorities, chronic stress, and the distance that can develop even when we are physically close together. .Kristen is one of our incredible mental health counsellors who provides this service to couples in person in Thunder Bay, and online throughout Ontario. Stay tuned for more!

We are wrapping (case notes), checking our lists (of overdue case notes), and we're gonna find out who's practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and being their authentically awesome selves this coming year.
Have a safe, relaxing, and kind holiday season! (PS... Holidays can be tough...and holiday gatherings with a lot of interesting personalities can be even tougher. We'll be back and so ready for the tea in 2025! Hang in there!!)

Here’s one from Emma:
When in pain long enough, the ability to go numb helps us to survive. But healing means that we cannot stay numb. Staying numb to pain means being unable to feel joy.
So numbing, while essential to survival, is only meant to be temporary. We have to feel our pain to heal from our experiences.

Late is better than never! the crew skipped our berry picking outing because of the pending rainfall and ended up spending a morning at the beautiful Vanderwees Garden Gallery with some amazing food from Tulips Cafe!
Heading into the warmer weather, the lovely Noelta reminded us that we've been working waaaaaay too hard and hadn't gotten out on the town as a group in many months. It's important to prioritize the important things, and even more important to speak up when you realize things might be going off track.
Big thanks to Noelta for getting us back on track spending time together, to Vanderwees for hosting and feeding us (omg try the Chicken Mango Curry Melt - wow), and to these wonderful helping professionals for being super cool.

All coping styles are helpful in their own ways because they address different needs. Applying them strategically means that you can address issues, AND the impact of those issues, effectively.

Our mission is to empower people to become the best versions of themselves.
We are a private mental health clinic that specializes in treatment for trauma-related issues. With our primary focus in counselling, we work collaboratively to meet client needs using individually tailored, evidence-based treatment plans. Our primary core value is what we are about, both as practitioners and as human beings: health. Physical, mental, and emotional health allows us to operate at our optimal functioning, and contributes to positive growth and development, increasing skills and abilities, and bettering ourselves and others.
Based in empathy and understanding, we do what is right and we help those in need. Every individual deserves to be heard, to be seen for the best that they can be, and to be treated with kindness. Treating all individuals with consideration and dignity is the most vital step in creating positive, empowering relationships. We listen with our full attention; we remain present.
Mental Health is vital to our well-being, and it is a constant work in progress. To manage adversity, we must acknowledge how we feel. Emotions are not wrong. They just are. How we interpret a situation reflects how we will feel about it. Counselling is about learning to approach the future with hope, and taking deliberate steps to create and nurture a fulfilling life.
