Through a mix of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and strengths- and solutions-focused approaches, we will work on how your thoughts affect your emotions and moods.
Have you ever felt so down and low that you didn’t want to engage in anything? Have you ever felt so anxious about a task that you ended up spending all your time and energy worrying about it and couldn't complete it? Do you catch yourself thinking and worrying about the same thing over and over? Trying to get things so organized and planning them down to the last minute, that it doesn’t leave you time to actually implement those plans? This is what our thoughts tend to do to us - exhausting us, leaving no energy or desire to engage with much else. If you feel this way, then we might be a good fit for each other.

Changes in one's life can result in many possibilities that can be overwhelming for some, and exciting for others.To manage the changes that occur in our life, we create our own personal safety net as a means for protection and safety from the potential dangers that can be brought on from change.However, an over reliance on these personal safety nets may lead to feeling like being imprisoned and trapped inside one's shell. This could eventually result in feelings of depression and anxiety.

I tend to follow the Person-Centered Approach, but to respect clients individuality and unique circumstances, I will integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness.
Welcome! I am a Yorkville University Master’s Level Counselling Intern Therapist at Solace Psychology & Wellness. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alberta. For the past 13 years I have worked as a Registered Nurse with an array of individuals in varying environments, including mental health, addictions and emergency. These experiences solidified the idea that everyone has their own battles (internal and external) that they are struggling with, which increased my awareness of being present, respectful, and nonjudgmental to those I interact with.

He draws upon reliable therapies including CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness.
Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
