Find a Therapist in Cantley, Quebec.

The approaches I use when it comes to individual psychotherapy are those of cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative therapy. These approaches, allow for a better understanding of the influence that our emotions, thoughts and behaviours have on our day-to-day life. As for couples therapy, I use the Gottman Method and systemic therapy. The focus is on the relationship of the couple and how family can influence the dynamics of the relationship.

Psychological treatment involves a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of current psychological symptoms, and psychotherapy that addresses the root causes of a specific psychological disorder. Research affirms that individuals do improve as a result of psychotherapy, particularly when they are committed to the process. In an initial session, your mental health professional will work with you in a collaborative fashion to identify treatment goals. He or she will also collect basic demographic data, obtain your consent to the treatment you are to receive, and inquire as to any questions you may have about the course of treatment that has been discussed.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

Psychotherapy is ideally a safe place for clients to begin unpacking their issues to begin looking forward towards their best hopes. While it can certainly be challenging and intimidating, my goal is to help clients embrace the discomfort in exploring these tough issues to ideally imagine a better future to ultimately pursue. While my practice can center around resolution of goals, I also believe some people just need a trained clinician to talk to in a less goal-oriented formal matter.

Licensed through the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, I offer psychotherapy to youth 14+ and adults. My approach is always centered on working with clients in a way that is empowering and based on leveraging the inner wisdom in each person. I have many strategies and options to offer, but clients are the experts in what will and won't work for them. When individuals complete therapy, my goal is for them to say "I worked hard and achieved the results I wanted to achieve - I can do this!" rather than "Tory helped me how to feel better".

As a psychotherapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and goals. Through various evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy, I help clients gain insight into their patterns of thinking and behavior, identify and challenge negative beliefs, and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Together, we will work towards achieving lasting positive changes in your life and enhancing your overall well-being.

I define psychotherapy as a valuable relationship where one can experience safety, support and quality, professional care. I offer an eclectic style of counselling utilizing a variety of models and techniques tailored to the specific needs and personality of the individual. My philosophy for counselling and personal moral framework are based upon the Word of God. I pray and depend upon the Holy Spirit for His wisdom and leadership throughout the therapy process.

My approach to psychotherapy is to use evidence-based techniques built upon a humanistic foundation and is tailored to each individual and may draw upon a variety of theoretical orientations. While the environment will be safe, it will also be a challenge as it will provide the platform from which you can explore yourself, your challenges and resources to foster personal growth. This is done through insight and awareness into your unique personal experience. Together, we will navigate your inner landscape to try and understand what is working and not working for you and how your values align with your actions and relationships.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but also blends other therapies. I will teach you the basics of the type of therapy that is most relevant to your problem. We will then work to apply the therapy to your specific issue. We will practice the skills that are taught and you will be given work to do at home. You will then report back about how the strategies are being implemented at home to allow us to tweak the skills to have them work best for you! Ultimately, you will be much better at managing your own issues independently!
