Psychotherapy combines talk therapy with body-based and mindful practices to support emotional clarity and grounded self-awareness. Sessions are guided by Registered Psychotherapists (RP), regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

What Is Psychotherapy?

What to Expect

Every session is unique, shaped by what you bring and what you need. You might explore anxiety, grief, burnout, relationships, or transitions, all within a space that honours your pace and capacity.

All sessions are confidential and ethical in alignment with professional health standards.

This is not a one-size-fits-all process. Your therapist may draw from:

  • Expressive arts or visualization

  • Trauma-informed and strengths-based models

  • Guided breathing or mindfulness

  • Immune challenges or frequent illness

Common Questions for Gentle Guidance

  • Holistic psychotherapy is like standard therapy, but it also expands beyond the mind, thoughts and feelings to include how your emotions show up in your physical body and everyday life.

  • Only if or when you’re ready. Sessions with our psychotherapists are greatly client-led and your therapist will meet you where you are in your comfort.

  • If your plan includes registered psychotherapists, you may be covered. We recommend confirming with your provider.
