Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Often helpful for
Available for: Individuals · in person & virtual
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-researched, evidence-based therapy shown to be effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain safely process distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. Many individuals experience meaningful symptom relief, sometimes in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. By reprocessing unresolved experiences, EMDR can support healing, restore a sense of control, and help you move forward with greater ease.

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. CBT helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. By building skills that support healthier responses and coping, CBT can promote lasting change and improved emotional wellbeing.
FBT
Family-Based Treatment
Often helpful for
Available for: Families & parents
FBT is an evidence-based approach for treating eating disorders that places parents at the centre of the recovery process. This approach supports parents in addressing the physical and behavioural effects of disordered eating, while gradually helping the young person regain autonomy over their eating as recovery progresses. This approach supports the entire family in managing the challenges of recovery and working toward sustained change.

Available for: Individuals · in person & virtual
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for ARFID (CBT-ARFID) is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals expand their range of foods and reduce anxiety, fear, or distress around eating. Together, we gently identify and work through the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that may be maintaining food avoidance. Treatment is paced collaboratively and focuses on building confidence, flexibility, and a more comfortable relationship with food.
Polyvagal-informed

Often helpful for
Available for: Individuals · in person & virtual
Polyvagal-informed therapy is based on an understanding of the nervous system and how it responds to stress, threat, and safety. This approach helps identify common patterns such as anxiety, shutdown, or disconnection, while supporting the development of greater internal safety and resilience. Using this framework, we work collaboratively to support nervous system regulation and foster a greater sense of connection, balance, and ease.
