Psychotherapy Services

The Psychotherapy Program provides a time-limited, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach to managing depression and anxiety. CBT helps the individual to increase their awareness of negative thought, feeling and behaviour through self-monitoring and psychoeducation. The focus of this service is on areas of illness education, symptom management and on wellness and relapse prevention planning.

The Psychotherapy Program also provides a 20 week Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Skills Group. The DBT Skills Group is for those who have self-harming behaviours and for those who struggle with managing their emotions. The Group focuses on building skills within four areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
