Well…as we gear up to celebrate our 10th year in private practice and providing mental health service to our community , across Ontario and across Alberta, we are changing how we navigate the guidance to our clients! New decade, new forms of therapy, new additions with the same compassion level! We may be a small service but we are a mighty one! Here’s to evolving!

Not always our pleasant news when it comes to private practice in the mental health industry , yet, transparency is what we believe in.

As we remember our soldiers and veterans for their service to our country, we must also recognize that empathy and compassion extend beyond November 11th.
Soldiers and veterans do not have a single day to process their experiences; they live with them every day. The triggers, night terrors, lack of emotional response, anger, sadness, isolation, disassociation and trauma are ingrained within them and their families.
Embracing Empowerment Counselling Services carries a unique perspective as we truly understand the evolution of missions, training, mindset, goodbyes, farewells and the hardships of post-deployment to the psyche.

Time and month changes on our moods and emotions. S.A.D -Seasonal Affective Disorder affects many from September to March. Our moods and emotions changes with the temperature, the light, the dark, and the imagery of what it looks like outside. We are sharing how some tips to manage provide some grounding for those who may struggle with S.A.D.

Reverse psychology has its place and sometimes when we feel we need help we are often too scared to reach out. Why? Well, stigma unfortunately still lives in 2025. So sometimes we require to look at therapy as a treat, a self care moment where we take care of our mind like we do with our physical health. How we speak to ourselves matters. Language matters! We continue to share numbers every Friday for anyone out there to know:

It’s Monday Mental Health Check In! When we feel safe , really safe, the stories we hear are the untold stories. The stories that protected us, and made us feel very scared. Our stories where we promised ourselves that “no one would ever understand” . Yet, when a safe space is found, grounded and secured, we share our untold pain and hurt. And we learn to heal through it.

10/20/2025

It’s Monday Mental Health Check In! When we are reaching in when others reach out, a gentle reminder that it isn’t your job to carry their hard stuff. Being supportive means standing beside someone while they take the hard steps towards healing.

10/17/2025

Therapy teaches us the beauty of openness. Yet, within that beauty there is darkness of things we held for too long. The most damaging thing to our soul is holding the past shame, guilt and pain. Let the ghosts out. One at a time. So your soul is set free from the things that caused you pain . It’s okay.

10/03/2025

Our new mantra as our services gears towards a different path.

We continue to provide services for our communities across Ontario & Alberta.

However, our drive continues within the first responder world, public safety professionals and their families.

As we grow in different ways , change is inevitable without losing the integrity of what we do.

We continue to remind ourselves , we may not be for everyone, but we are something to someone.
