Approches thérapeutiques

Voici mes principales approches thérapeutiques, soutenues par une formation spécialisée et une expérience clinique approfondie.

Thérapie centrée sur l'émotion (TCE) (Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT))

A short-term, structured approach for couples and individuals. EFT focuses on understanding and changing the emotional responses that create distress, helping to create more secure bonds and healthier communication patterns.

Thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC) (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT))

A practical, goal-oriented approach. CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, allowing you to develop more balanced thinking and effective coping strategies.

Approche centrée sur la personne (Person-centered Approach)

A compassionate and non-directive approach. This modality prioritizes building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship in which you are empowered to lead your own growth, with the therapist providing unconditional support, empathy, and genuine understanding.

Approche basée sur les forces (Strength-based Approach)

This model focuses on your innate strengths, resources, and resilience. Instead of dwelling on problems, we work to identify and leverage your existing skills to overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve your goals.

FAQ

Do you offer affordable therapy?

Yes. As a group practice, the Anchored Therapy Centre is committed to making therapy accessible. We offer a reduced rate for sessions with one of our highly skilled intern therapists, who are directly supervised by a registered psychotherapist to ensure you receive quality care.

How do I know if we are a good fit?

Finding the right therapist is a personal decision. I offer a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions you may have, and determine if my approach is a good match for you.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require 48 hours' notice for any cancellations or rescheduling. This allows me to offer the time to another client in need of support. Without sufficient notice, you will be charged the full session fee.

Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?

I offer both in-person sessions at the Anchored Therapy Centre and secure, confidential video sessions. We can decide on a format that is most comfortable and convenient for you. Our in-person clinic locations in Georgetown/Milton/Halton Hills and Mississauga

What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your history, and your goals. It's a space for me to listen and for you to ask any questions you may have about the process.

How many sessions will I need?

The duration of therapy is unique to each individual or couple. We will regularly review your progress and adjust our plan as needed to ensure we are meeting your goals.

Do you accept insurance?

Many extended health care plans offer coverage for services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. I will provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please check with your provider to confirm your specific coverage details.
