Psychotherapy is a provincially regulated health profession in Ontario.  Registered Psychotherapists (RP) assess and treat cognitive, emotional, and behavioural disturbances. There are many different historical influences, many different psychotherapy techniques and models, and many different interpretations and executions of each.  For more information on the profession visit the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario website, and have a look at the Blog entry entitled "Psycho-what?".

We also take seriously the fact that the words heal, whole, and holy share the same Old English root word "hal". Our trauma-informed approach, means that we appreciate our multidimensional reality and recognize how the innate healing capacity of nature also operates in us.

“It is better to know what sort of person has a disease, than to know what sort of disease a person has.” Hippocrates

Working holistically, we endeavour to be inclusive in all aspects of our work including, 1) the domains of exploration within sessions, 2) the therapeutic approaches we employ, and 3) the understanding of the human experience. 

Just as fibrous root systems find nutrients across broad expanses of land, as integrative therapists we draw from many therapeutic traditions including those articulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO): cognitive and behavioural therapies, experiential and humanistic therapies, psychodynamic therapies, somatic therapies, and systemic and collaborative therapies. This allows us to customize the work we do with each client, and make use of the vast array of knowledge and wisdom traditions in this profession.
