Our Approach

Therapy That Actually Feels
Like You

We know therapy has a reputation for being stiff, clinical, or full of “uh-huh, and how does that make you feel?” vibes. That’s not us. Our approach is collaborative, conversational, and designed to meet you where you’re at. You bring your lived experience, we bring training and tools — and together we build something that works for you.

What We Believe

You are the expert on your own life. We don’t “fix” you. We help you tune into what matters and what gets in the way.

  1. Mental health is connected. We look at your whole picture: body, mind, relationships, identity, culture, and environment.

  2. Therapy is active. We’ll reflect, but also practice new skills, experiment with tools, and give you things to try in real life.

  3. Identity matters. Gender, sexuality, race, neurodivergence, culture — all of it shapes how you experience the world. We won’t leave that at the door.

  4. Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s deep conversations, sometimes it’s practical strategies, sometimes it’s laughter in the middle of hard stuff.

How It Feels to Work With Us

Expect a mix of compassion, curiosity, and straight-up honesty. We might slow things down so you can really notice what’s happening in your body. We might map out patterns or cycles you keep bumping into. We might help you connect dots between past experiences and present habits. Whatever the path, you won’t be doing it alone — and you won’t be judged for being human.

Tools We Use

We’re trained in evidence-based modalities like:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): untangling unhelpful thought loops.

  • Psychodynamic therapy: making sense of old patterns that still sneak into today.

  • SFBT (Solution-Focused): zooming in on what’s already working.

  • Somatic practices: noticing what your body’s telling you.

  • Mindfulness & ACT: building flexibility and presence.

  • Relational therapy: focusing on the space between you and others.

But here’s the thing: we don’t believe in forcing you into a box. We blend approaches so therapy feels like it’s actually built for you, not a textbook.
