Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing
What is EMDR therapy? EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (Maxfield, 2019). EMDR therapy has even been superior to Prozac in trauma treatment (Van der Kolk et al., 2007). Shapiro and Forrest (2016) share that EMDR therapists in 130 countries have successfully treated millions.
Children and Youth Counselling
Child and youth therapy, or child counseling, provides a safe space for children and teens to address emotional, social, and behavioral challenges, offering tools and support to improve their well-being and coping skills.
Child and youth therapy, also known as child counseling, aims to support children and youth in navigating emotional, social, and behavioral difficulties.
The goal isn’t to “fix” the child, but rather to equip them with the skills and strategies to manage challenges, improve their well-being, and build healthy relationships.
Therapists use various approaches, including play therapy, expressive arts, and talk therapy, to connect with children and help them express their feelings and experiences.
Therapy can help children and youth cope with a wide range of issues, such as: Emotional: Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and difficulty regulating emotions. Social: Bullying, social isolation, difficulty making friends, and relationship problems. Behavioural: Disruptive behaviours, attention problems, and difficulty following rules. Family: Family conflict, divorce, and substance abuse in the family.
Therapists create a safe and supportive environment where children can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping skills, and build self-esteem.
Therapy often involves parents or caregivers, providing them with tools and strategies to support their child’s emotional and behavioral well-being.
Play Therapy: For younger children, play therapy uses toys and games to help them express their feelings and work through difficult experiences.
Talk Therapy: As children get older, talk therapy becomes more prominent, allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings verbally.
Skill-Building: Therapy can help children learn new skills, such as problem-solving, communication, and emotional regulation.
EMDR can also be a great resource to teach children how to process and regulate emotions.
Couples and Family Counselling
Couple and family therapy, a specialized form of psychotherapy, addresses the behaviours of individuals and how they impact relationships within families and couples, aiming to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance overall functioning.
Entering a supportive environment, couples and families can come together and engage in type of psychotherapy that focuses on the behaviours of all family members and how those behaviours affect individuals, relationships within the family, and the family unit as a whole.
It involves working with couples or the entire family, rather than focusing solely on one individual.
Goal: To improve relationships, resolve conflicts, and enhance the overall functioning of individuals, couples, and families.
Therapists will draw from a variety of techniques such as structural, strategic, systemic, narrative, and transgenerational therapies.
