If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.
The therapists at The Dot have a range of skills including EMDR, Gestalt, Somatic, EFT, as well as the more classic forms like CBT and DBT. We support folk experiencing existential crisis, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues (including couples counselling), perinatal mental health concerns and more.
You care about your life, that's why you're here. Your mental health matters, and if you're ready to take the next step, feel free to reach out to us to book a consultation, or check our website. We have skilled, trauma-informed therapists that are accepting new clients.
