Mental Health Services in Ontario
At Steyaert Counselling, we offer a wide range of mental health services to meet your needs. Our registered psychotherapists in Ontario are trained to handle various mental health issues, providing you with personalized support and guidance.
Individual Therapy with Registered Psychotherapists
In psychotherapy, clients’ concerns are addressed, goals are identified, and progress is made through the utilization of the integration of therapeutic modalities and techniques to meet your distinct needs in a safe and non-judgmental environment, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Cognitive behavioural therapy is often used in individual therapy to provide practical, goal-oriented support.
Our mental health services focus on providing support and coping tools, emphasizing the importance of self-care to promote emotional well-being and overall health.
Couples Therapy for Mental Health Support
In couples or marriage counselling, the focus is on strengthening the emotional connection, alleviating conflict, and addressing the specific goals of both individuals in the relationship.
Family Therapy
Family therapy involves working with the entire family to identify and address the family’s emotional, psychological, or behavioural problems. This therapy can really help families going through tough times like divorce, stepfamilies, or trouble talking to each other.
Types of Therapy We Offer
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proven treatment for many mental health issues like anxiety and depression. CBT helps you recognize and change negative thoughts and behaviours, leading to better emotional health.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) helps people handle strong emotions and improve their relationships. It teaches skills to manage feelings, cope with stress, and communicate better. DBT mixes cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. It focuses on accepting yourself and balancing change with acceptance. DBT is useful for those dealing with emotional instability, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps you accept your thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that align with your values. This type of therapy is great for managing stress and anxiety.’
Online Therapy
We understand that life can be busy. That’s why we offer online therapy sessions. You can receive the support you need from the comfort of your home, with secure and confidential online sessions.
