The snow is starting to show, and you might think that means our ecopsychology sessions are over for the season… WRONG. We embrace nature-based therapy in all seasons.

Ecopsychology combines traditional therapy with time spent in nature to support mental health, reduce stress, and help you reconnect with yourself and the environment. From snowy walks to crisp winter reflections, nature is always here to guide your healing.

This simple question can be a powerful check-in with yourself. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in routines, obligations, or habits that drain your energy rather than support it.

Take a moment today to pause and reflect:

Which actions lift you up?

Which leave you feeling tense, anxious, or depleted?

Mindful awareness of how your choices impact your inner peace is the first step toward living in alignment with your values and emotional well-being.

When kids struggle, it’s not always about labels—it’s about unlocking support.

If your child is showing signs of inattention, hyperactivity, or difficulty in school or social settings, a psychological assessment can offer more than answers. It can open the door to the right supports—at home, at school, and in therapy.

We don’t just assess—we compare your child’s patterns to others their age to help build a practical, customized plan. Because knowing what’s going on is the first step to knowing what to do next.

If this sounds familiar, we’re here to help. Contact Cirrus Psychology to learn more.

Today, we remember.

We pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served, and those who continue to serve.

Their strength reminds us of the importance of compassion, connection, and peace, values we hold close every day at Cirrus Psychology.

Lest we forget.

Even kids in loving, stable homes deal with big emotions — and that’s okay.

Emotional regulation is something we learn, not something we’re born knowing. Naming feelings, noticing body signals, and building coping skills are simple steps that make a big difference. And if your child needs extra support, it’s not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of love.

Just because it feels relatable doesn’t mean it’s accurate.

A psychological assessment isn’t here to confirm your social media feed—it’s here to help you understand what’s actually going on.

If you’re ready for clarity backed by real data, reach out to Cirrus Psychology.

Therapy isn’t lying on a couch while someone scribbles notes and says “hmm.”

Sometimes it’s laughter. Sometimes it’s awkward silences. Sometimes it’s tears and breakthroughs and learning to sit with hard feelings.

It’s not about “fixing” you—it’s about making space for your story, your growth, your healing.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to. At Cirrus, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. We have several therapists currently accepting new patients, each bringing their own experience, approach, and style to the table. That means you can find the right fit for you, in a space where feeling supported comes first.

Ready to take the next step? Reach out today — we’d love to help you get started.

When should you consider a psychological assessment?

If what you’re doing is helping, keep going. But if you’re still struggling with symptoms that feel intrusive, if your strategies aren’t landing, or if your progress has plateaued, it might be time to ask: Are we actually working on the right thing?

Psychological assessments can help uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface—especially when symptoms overlap. For example, many women with ADHD are first treated for anxiety. And while anxiety strategies may help a little, they often miss the full picture.

If you’ve made some progress, but things still don’t feel quite right—it might be time to look deeper.

Living with a chronic illness can feel isolating, not because people don’t care, but because it’s hard for others to fully understand what it takes out of you every day.

Your frustration, your exhaustion, your hope… they’re all valid. Having someone walk beside you in that journey can remind you that you don’t have to carry it alone.

Ever make a tiny mistake and replay it in your head for hours? That inner critic can be relentless. Here’s the truth: perfectionism doesn’t protect you from failure — it robs you of peace. Learning to quiet that voice and practice self-compassion is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. You’re not supposed to be perfect — you’re supposed to be human.
