Depression

People who struggle with depression often feel down for extended periods of time. They lose interest in activities that they once found pleasurable. Depression negatively affects millions of Canadians each year. Building hope in times of despair can help you to take charge of your life.

Anxiety and Stress

Stress and anxiety are related, but often confused. Stress is tension associated with a specific event (e.g. a test or a job), while anxiety is a non-specific worry about the future. Avoidance is a hallmark of anxiety. Facing the issue or situation effectively brings release. Peaople with anxiety may turn to repetitive routines, preoccupations, or addictions. We can help by teaching to reduce and manage stress.

Arguments

Conflict is two or more people occupying the same space or position. Conflict resolution is an important part of any relationship. Conflict plays a vital role in allowing two people to reconcile differing needs. Conflict in and of its self is not bad and has the potential of deepening the relationship. Unfortunately, when conflict is handled poorly, it can cause distress in the relationship. It is helpful to learn to release the emotions of anger constructivley.

Trauma

Experiences that overwhelm or scare us can leave a lasting impression. The symptoms can leave us stressed, depressed, and have negative consequences for our personal life, other relationships and work. It causes one to relieve the past in the context of the present situation.

Communication

Feeling understood and understanding one's partner is what creates harmony in our relationships. Often, couples struggle with communication issues, which actually mask deeper relationship issues. We offer mediation in a safe environment.

Trust

Trust plays a vital role in sustaining a relationship. People trust differently. For some, trust is established quickly, while others are slow to grant trust. Similarly, some are able to forgive quickly, while others find it hard. Setting boundaries and learning to make right choices are important components in building trust.

Self-esteem is a feeling of personal worth. It is important to be able to value yourself regardless of your current state of personal achievement, beauty, or intelligence. Your self-esteem creates the foundation for a full life, great relationships, and a feeling of well-being.                        1829 Ranchlands Blvd. NW                1829 Ranchlands Blvd. NW
