What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy with the goal of helping one to improve and maintain, enhanced mental health and well-being.
Registered Psychotherapists commonly help people who are experiencing feelings, thoughts, moods or behaviors that may negatively impact their daily lives, relationships with others and their overall quality of life. Psychotherapists work with individuals, couples, families and even groups, in order to help work through difficulties; and together, help create positive changes in thoughts, thought patterns, behaviours, feelings as well as social functioning.

FAQ’s About Our Psychotherapy Services
Many people are confused with these three scopes of practice. A “Psychiatrist” is a medical doctor and can prescribe psychotropic medications to patients while, may not have time to do talk therapy sessions with patients. A “Psychologist” cannot prescribe medication and is not a medical doctor, however, can diagnose a patient with a mental health condition and can treat a patient through talk therapy. A “Psychotherapist” is trained to work specifically through talk therapy, where the focus is on the provision of information, advice-giving, encouragement and instruction.
