Therapeutic Interventions

Our clinicians also draw from a range of approaches that support emotional well-being, skill development, and personal growth. These may be used on their own or integrated with trauma-focused work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies.

Often helpful for: anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT supports individuals in developing psychological flexibility by changing how they relate to difficult thoughts and emotions, while moving toward what matters most to them.

Often helpful for: anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and values-based change.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Often helpful for: intense emotions, self-harm, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy helps individuals separate themselves from their problems and explore their identity in a more compassionate and empowering way.

Often helpful for: self-esteem, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

CFT helps individuals who struggle with shame and self-criticism develop a more compassionate and supportive relationship with themselves.

Often helpful for: shame, anxiety, depression, and self-criticism.

Strengths-Based Therapy

This approach emphasizes existing strengths and resources, helping individuals build confidence and resilience.

Often helpful for: youth, families, parenting, and personal growth.

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)

DDP is a relationship-focused approach that supports attachment, safety, and connection, particularly for children, youth, and caregivers.

Often helpful for: attachment concerns and parent-child relationships.

A brief, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying solutions and taking practical steps forward.
