Therapeutic Modalities

At Health & Happiness: Counselling and Wellness, we use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help you on your journey to better mental health. These methods are selected based on your individual needs, making sure that the care you receive is just right for you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps you identify and change any unhelpful thought patterns that might be affecting how you feel. Together, we’ll work on recognizing those negative thoughts and replacing them with healthier ones, so you can feel more in control of your emotions and reactions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR)

EMDR is a specialized therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It uses guided eye movements to process difficult memories and reduce their emotional impact. Over time, this approach can help you feel less triggered by past events, allowing you to move forward with greater emotional freedom and resilience. It can also help reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

If you struggle with intense emotions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) could be a great fit. It’s all about learning how to manage those overwhelming feelings, improve your relationships, and stay present in the moment. We’ll teach you techniques that help you balance acceptance and change, so you can feel more grounded.

Gottman Approach (Couples Counselling)

The Gottman Approach is a highly effective method for couples looking to strengthen their relationship. This therapy focuses on building a deeper connection, improving communication, and resolving conflict in a healthy, respectful way. Whether you’re navigating challenges or seeking to enhance your partnership, the Gottman Approach offers practical tools to foster long-lasting relationship satisfaction.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy is a great way to help manage stress and anxiety. It teaches you how to focus on the present, rather than worrying about the past or future. By practicing mindfulness, you’ll develop a sense of calm and learn to handle difficult thoughts and feelings in a healthier way.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how your past experiences might be affecting your present life. Together, we’ll explore some of those deeper feelings and memories, helping you gain insight into patterns that might be holding you back. This can lead to a better understanding of yourself and more positive changes moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the goal isn’t to get rid of difficult thoughts or feelings but to learn how to accept them and focus on what truly matters to you. We’ll work on building strategies that allow you to move forward in life, even when things feel tough, by taking actions that align with your values.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is all about focusing on your strengths and finding practical solutions to current challenges. Rather than digging into the past, we’ll work together to identify the steps you can take right now to create positive changes in your life. “It’s a short-term approach and can be incredibly effective for setting and achieving time sensitive goals.

Emotion-Focused Therapy

EFT is designed to help you better understand and express your emotions. By exploring the feelings behind your experiences, you’ll learn how to process them in a healthy way, leading to stronger relationships and emotional well-being. This therapy is especially helpful if you’re looking to improve your ability to manage emotions and connect more deeply with others.

Emotion-Focused Family Therapy

Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) follows similar principles to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFFT addresses the patterns in how families interact, exploring attachment needs and caregiver responses. Therapists and families work together to recognize and understand blocks within the family dynamic, with the goal of repairing emotional bonds, strengthening family connections, and promoting resilience.
