Therapeutic Approaches
Choosing which therapeutic approach is right for you will be something you and your counsellor will do together, however if you are interested in a specific approach, we encourage you to express your interest.
The collaborative decision regarding which approach fits best for you will take into consideration the symptoms you’re experiencing, your strengths and goals, as well as evidence regarding therapeutic effectiveness and/or contraindications for different issues. Often an integrative approach, that uses elements of the different approaches, is used to support you in achieving your personal goals.
