Individual Therapy

Our team of professional therapists can help you learn the tools you need to feel better.

Learn More

Individual Therapy

People often go to therapy to address a variety of concerns, including: coping with unpleasant emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, dealing with conflicts at home or at work, learning how to feel more confident, dealing with traumatic events or issues from the past, and coping with new life stages and big changes. Although talk therapy may feel scary or too vulnerable at first, people often find that they feel better when they discuss the issues that have been bothering them, under the guidance of a therapist. Formal therapy or counselling is very different from venting with a close friend or family member. A therapist is trained to help with mental health and relationship problems; they can help you examine and understand your concerns in a productive, and unbiased way, in a safe and confidential setting. Our therapists can help those who are going through reproductive life transitions and their partners too.

Couples Therapy

You and your partner can talk to one of our trained therapists to cope with conflict and communication issues.

Learn More

Couples therapy

During major life stresses or transition times, people often find that the relationship with their partner takes a hit. Feelings of anger, resentment, or betrayal may crop up, or previous issues within the relationship may worsen. Sometimes, people worry that couples therapy signifies the end of a relationship, so they are afraid to take part. In reality, it is a helpful way for a couple to communicate openly, in a safe and confidential setting, and in the presence of a neutral third party. Couples therapy can lead to a much stronger relationship, and sets the stage for improved communication and fulfilment as a couple.

Group Therapy

You will join people who are experiencing similar issues to openly share, receive support and learn new skills.

Learn More

Group Therapy

Psychotherapy groups create a safe place where you can openly discuss your tough experiences or emotions, feel connected and supported by others, and learn coping skills such as mindfulness meditation or cognitive-behavioural strategies. During group therapy, women who are experiencing similar life stressors or common symptoms come together under the guidance of therapists. By supporting one another through shared experiences and feeling less alone, women often find that group therapy is helpful to address mental health challenges.

MAXI Mental Health Assessment

The MAXI offers an in-depth assessment, diagnostic, and treatment plan by a mental health professional and an MD Psychiatrist.

MAXI Mental Health Assessment

If our Care Coordinator recommends further mental health evaluation after your MINI, you will be referred to the MAXI Mental Health Assessment. This is a more detailed assessment by a mental health professional and an MD Psychiatrist. In the MAXI, you will get recommendations for therapy and other services, and may get medication recommendations to address your concerns. A formal report outlining your Care Plan and follow-up suggestions will be created for you and your primary care provider.

MEDI Health Assessment

The MEDI offers an in-depth assessment and treatment plan by women’s health experts to address common hormonal, mood, and sleep issues of perimenopause and beyond.

Learn More

MEDI Health Assessment

If our Care Coordinator recommends a comprehensive midlife assessment after your MINI, you will be referred to the MEDI Health Assessment. This is a comprehensive assessment by a trained women’s health care professional and a gynecologist. In the MEDI, you will get a comprehensive assessment of your physical, hormonal, and mental health at midlife. Following this assessment, you may get recommendations for medication, hormonal treatments, or other therapies. A formal report outlining your Care Plan and follow-up suggestions will be created for you and your primary care provider.
