A Holding Place provides counselling services for individuals, couples, and families.
We offer appointments during the day, evenings and weekends, to accommodate your schedule, and appointments can be in person or virtual, by phone or video, to suit your needs.
Customized Care
Our highly-skilled therapists specialize in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, allowing us to provide personalized treatment plans to suit your specific needs and goals.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, marital issues, family relationship issues, phobias, or past trauma, we are here to help with a variety of therapeutic tools.
Our counsellors and therapists are trained in:
A commonly-used, structured talk therapy helping you become aware of and challenge negative thinking to respond to challenging situations more effectively.
Focused on both acceptance and change, talk therapy which is particularly helpful for those with mood disorders, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and substance use.
Action-oriented, talk therapy, using acceptance and mindfulness strategies along with behaviour-change strategies to improve relationships and reduce anxiety.
Short-term, goal-focused, evidence-based therapy focused on collaboratively finding solutions and changing behaviour going forward, rather than problems from the past.
Used in conjunction with cognitive behavioural therapy, focused on consciously being aware of thoughts and feelings without placing judgement upon them.
In-depth therapy with an emphasis on exploring and challenging stories developed and carried throughout life, beneficial for individuals, couples, and families.
Structured therapy, focusing on traumatic memories while simultaneously experiencing stimulation (eye movements), reducing emotional pain associated with trauma.
A research-based, couples therapy approach to reducing conflict, improving communication, moving past specific issues, and providing tools for long-term success.
Designed to help people find the motivation to make a positive behaviour change, bolster confidence, and accountability. Ideal for addiction, disordered eating, and depression.
Benefits of Counselling and Therapy
Whether you’re managing an ongoing mental health condition or coping with a singular difficult event, there are many benefits to seeking out help through professional counselling and therapy.
Generally, people who choose to attend counselling and therapy learn how to improve interpersonal relationships, apply healthy coping mechanisms, increase their self awareness, and gain greater confidence in themselves. Additionally, counselling and therapy are linked to better physical health.
When you’re ready to make a positive change, A Holding Place will help you set goals for your counselling, confront challenges, and develop self-compassion to move through the world with more self awareness and resilience.
