Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Peterborough, ON

My therapeutic work with clients is from a holistic, person-specific and spiritual perspective, seeking to transform all experiences to the benefit of the individual. It is necessary to integrate and metabolize the emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical components of our total life experience in order to deepen and strengthen the personality. This leads to greater capacity for joy and happiness, as well as creating a profound capacity to embrace the sadness and pain that are part of everyone's journey.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

We may find ourselves wanting to feel and react differently, process and heal from past traumas, and instead, feel more connected, balanced, and grounded within our every day lives.

As individuals living in an often harsh world, often pushed to and fro from external and internal influences, we all will need at some point an anchor to ground ourselves. It should be the right of every individual to have the firm foundation to build on and achieve their greatest potential. We know that we can not grow to become our best selves in a vacuum. Just as building a strong foundation for a building required a group of skilled artisans so too do we as individuals need a strong skilled support network as none of us can succeed alone.

Our comprehensive DBT program is committed to providing compassionate & effective treatment for individuals who may experience intense emotions (such as anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt), impulsive behaviours (such as self-harm, suicide, stealing, substance use, risky behaviours), & stormy relationships (which could look like switching between pushing people away & clinging to them, challenges with saying no). We also offer trauma treatment through Prolonged Exposure-DBT and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) because many of the current day experiences, emotions & views of the world, are based on previous experiences.
