Here’s our promise:

If your first session doesn’t meet your needs, we’ll match you with a new clinician.

We all have those tasks we just don't want to do, but the hardest part is usually just getting started. Instead of waiting for motivation to strike, try lowering the barrier to entry by focusing on just one bite-sized chunk. You can also make the task more pleasant by pairing it with your favourite music or a drink. Using transition moments, like right after a meal, is a great way to build momentum without overthinking it. Finding your own personal recipe for getting activated makes the big tasks feel much smaller. What is one thing you’ve been putting off that you can start today?

Which therapy is actually the "best"? 🤔

While CBT has an 80% success rate, the real secret isn’t just the method—it’s the fit.

The most effective therapy is the one that is: ✅ Evidence-based ✅ Comfortable for YOU ✅ Consistent

It’s about finding the tool that helps you break old patterns and build new ones. It’s okay to tweak your approach as you go—mental health is a journey, not a one-size-fits-all! 🛠️✨

Shorter days can make everything feel a little heavier…but sometimes it’s more than the winter blues.

If your energy, mood, or motivation feel off, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

AI is integrated into everything—even our requests for emotional support. It excels at validation, but therapy requires understanding the deep, complex context of your life and relationships. Can an algorithm truly grasp the nuance of finding your partner "annoying?"

This short video explores the dangerous gap between hearing and understanding, and why that limited perspective matters for your mental health journey.

Understanding the Core Aspects of Addiction 🧠
Addiction, formally called Substance Use Disorder, is a chronic condition marked by uncontrollable use, intense cravings, and cycles of relapse despite continuous harm. This persistent use is driven by the psychological parts of addiction—impaired control caused by changes in the brain circuits that regulate reward and self-control.

Crucially, addiction alters brain function, leading to physical dependence; this can cause tolerance, withdrawal, and compulsive behaviours due to shifts in reward pathways and executive functions. While this model primarily addresses substance use, it is important to note that some behaviours can also become addictive, exhibiting craving and loss of control, though only a few are recognized as official behavioural disorders.

We must approach addiction with knowledge, empathy, and support.

Our Story

Our passion for helping others inspired us to open a small private practice in 2007.

With only a small yellow page ad + positive word-of-mouth, our little practice quickly grew, requiring us to relocate to a more prominent office building within a year.

Since that time, we have remained committed to Our Values, our passion for excellence + desire to help people with a warm, down to earth style.

Today, we are proud to serve the community of Thunder Bay + Northwestern Ontario with 30 team members who are committed to providing an exceptional client experience.
