Most of the problems we experience in life have connection at their core.
Connection
Central to our ability to thrive
As human beings, we are wired for connection. It is the most effective means we have for coping with fear, hurt, anxiety, overwhelm, and helplessness.
A secure connection with ourselves and our important others holds great power. It helps us to understand our needs, share the load, take risks, survive losses, and be more fully ourselves.
The stress of losing or never having this connection is incredibly taxing to us, resulting in all manner of physical, emotional, mental, sexual, relational, and spiritual symptoms.
Our treatment philosophy aligns with models that focus on family systems, attachment, emotions, trauma, and somatic ways of working. We take an integrative approach, interweaving evidence-based psychotherapy and neuroscience with the timeless wisdom of meditation, yoga, and complementary therapies.
This approach allows us to offer a clear map for dealing with all manner of human struggles, what creates and maintains our problems, and how to create the optimal conditions for healing and growth.
Healing From Inside
Healing the pain on the inside of us frees us up to live from our innate wholeness, potential, and resilience.
Healing
Live from your wholeness, not from your pain
Resolving the pain, trauma, patterns, and limiting beliefs held on the inside of us changes our ability to live, love, and lead with greater authenticity, strength, and wholeness.
Healing and deepening our relationships creates security and connection, a safe base from which to experience the world, a resource to rely on, and a place from which we can take risks, play, create, and reach our potential.
When we are whole and secure, new ways of relating, dealing with stress, and problem-solving tend to emerge spontaneously.
We offer a range of psychotherapy and bodywork services that facilitate emotional, physical, mental, relational, sexual, and spiritual healing. As these aspects of human functioning are intrinsically linked, we take an integrative and holistic approach in all of the work we do.
Specialist Clinicians
Change
Transform your life today
We combine research, evidence-based practices, and a passionate staff team dedicated to excellence in their chosen field.
We believe that when people reach out for help, they want to know their guide has a clear map for supporting the change they seek.
At The Center for Connection, Healing and Change, each therapist offers a different clinical focus. We invest time, energy, and resources in our therapists through high-quality training in evidence-based models alongside ongoing model-specific supervision so they can scaffold out solid internal working maps for the mechanics of creating lasting change. It is not enough to attend a one-off training; it is important to continually hone your craft in any given model or area of clinical focus so you can be sure you are applying the model as it was researched and designed.
We choose to utilize evidence-based models such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Theraplay, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
These models are well-researched, offer a clear clinical map for supporting clients to create the change they seek, and are proven to be effective at treating the issues we work with.
We strive to offer our clients an intentional, tried and tested journey towards meaningful change.
We take a multi-disciplinary approach, as we know one size does not fit all. Through our thoughtful Intake Coordination Service, we endeavour to match you with a therapist whose skill, training, and experience are a good fit for your particular needs, developmental/life stage, and goals. We also take into account personality, lived experience, and Self-of-the-Therapist work when we recommend a specific therapist for you.
Our wide-ranging specialties and shared philosophy allow us to offer a highly creative and collaborative model of care. Clients can benefit from this wealth of wisdom through short-term consultation with an additional therapist and/or active coordination of care between providers.
