Therapy can help you understand and gain control over the emotions and situations that may be keeping you stuck. Individual therapy involves developing a trusting relationship with a therapist in a safe and non-judgemental environment so you can work on improving your mental health and well-being.

A variety of clinical interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guide our approach.

Art therapy offers an effective approach by tapping into your own ability to solve problems and articulating visually that which is difficult to express in words. The creative and art making process can provide insight, improve self-awareness, build self-confidence, cultivate problem-solving skills and provide a meaningful and transcendent experience that can improve mood and reduce distress.

The type of artwork done or reviewed in an art therapy session is tailored to each individual’s strengths, interests and therapy goals. The art therapist does not judge or analyze the artwork, rather helps each individual find personal meaning in their own expressions.

Art materials can include painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, sculpture, photography, writing, poetry, mixed media and more. As needed, the art therapist will support you in choosing materials and learning what you need to know to use them. No art experience or talent is necessary to experience benefits from art therapy, and the process of creation can be as therapeutic and rewarding as the completed piece.

An “immigration assessment” refers to a mental health (or psychological) assessment that a therapist does for an immigration case. Depending on the type of immigration case, the assessment will address various psychological aspects related to the legal needs in the case, in addition to assessing current symptoms. The therapist’s assessment provides critical evidence in demonstrating extreme hardship to win an immigration case and often it’s the deciding factor in whether or not a client’s family can stay together or whether a client can escape life-threatening circumstances in their home country.

Group counseling focuses on learning new skills and coping strategies while building community and reducing isolation. In a group, participants deepen their self-awareness and feelings of connection by listening to others with similar stories and allowing them to express themselves in front of others without feeling judged which can help the healing process.  Participants find hope and community by joining a safe space to express themselves and get feedback from others. Research shows that group counseling is extremely effective, and can be just as beneficial as individual therapy, especially when focusing on communication skills and increasing confidence in social settings.
