Holistic & Alternative Therapies

Offering a connection between psychology and the creative process, expressive arts therapy encourages clients to experience growth and emotional healing through a creative outlet. Where art therapy usually just focuses on one particular creative outlet, expressive arts therapy allows clients to explore a number of different art forms such as; painting, sketching, dancing, acting, poetry, musical instruments, and any other creative outlet that could be of service to them. This is a chance for clients to explore what they find beautiful in the world, what their struggles and conflicts are, and try to connect and integrate deeply.

Person centered therapy is a talk therapy method that focuses on how clients perceive themselves consciously. Rather than have a counsellor project their own perception of the client’s subconscious, person centered therapy allows the client to engage in thought provoking self-reflection practices. Therapists will provide a warm, welcoming environment that will allow for honest reflection by the client without fear of judgement.

Emotion focused therapy, also known as EFT, is a method that emphasizes that emotions are a dominant factor in what composes someone’s identity. This method allows the client to come face to face with their emotions, with the belief that suppressing negative emotions and lacking emotional awareness are harmful to the recovery process.
