EMDR focuses on the brain's ability to learn constantly, taking past negative experiences, and updating them with present information (positive beliefs).

AIP, or Adaptive Information Processing,  constantly updates memory network systems. EMDR breaks through that negative belief and helps you let go of the past and update your experiences to a healthier present perspective.

CBT refers to a range of therapies that commonly focus on helping sort out cycles of unhelpful thoughts, emotions, physical experiences and actions.  Traditionally,  the focus is on assisting in changing negative thoughts. Structured therapy uses questionnaires to measure progress and action plans between sessions. It is useful in Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, CD, Depression and more.

Narrative Therapy is a goal-directed framework that explores numerous stories that shape and influence identity problems and preferred direction in life. Useful in Addictions, trauma, and mental health concerns

Play is to the child what talk is to the adult.  Play therapy is an evidence-based approach to help children with social or emotional deficits learn to communicate better, express underlying feelings they may struggle with, change their behaviour, develop problem-solving skills, and positively relate to others. 

 A person-centred approach to help engage in healthy habits, lifestyle issues, weight gain, lack of exercise, and school issues.

When you have come to treatment/therapy, express your concerns. Your therapist will help you understand the presenting concerns and how to manage them adaptively.

An overall treatment plan will be developed that will accomplish your goals, and therapy approaches will be applied to accomplish your treatment goals.
