Psychotherapy
Counseling or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process between a therapist and a client aimed at addressing psychological, emotional, or behavioral challenges and promoting personal growth and well-being. Therapy can take various forms and utilize different techniques depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual.
At Active Rehab Centre, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy support to help you achieve your mental health goals.
Therapy offers a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our therapists provide empathetic support and validation, helping clients feel heard and understood. Through guided exploration and reflection, therapy helps individuals gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the underlying factors contributing to their challenges.
Therapy equips individuals with practical coping strategies and skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate life's difficulties more effectively. Clients learn healthier ways of coping with challenges and develop resilience in the face of adversity. Therapy helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that may contribute to their distress. By promoting awareness and offering alternative perspectives, therapists assist clients in making positive changes in their lives. Therapy can enhance communication skills, promote healthier boundaries, and foster empathy and understanding within relationships.
Couples and family therapy, in particular, can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds. Therapy provides a supportive environment for individuals to process and heal from past traumatic experiences. Therapists use evidence-based techniques such as trauma-focused therapy to help clients reduce distressing symptoms and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment. Therapy encourages self-exploration and self-acceptance, helping individuals develop a more positive self-image and greater self-esteem. Clients learn to recognize their strengths, set realistic goals, and cultivate self-compassion. Overall, therapy offers a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. By providing professional guidance, support, and resources, therapy empowers individuals to overcome obstacles, improve their mental health, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Testimonials

In the first therapy session, known as the intake session, you'll meet your therapist and begin to establish the framework for your therapeutic journey. Expect to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, share relevant personal history, and set goals for treatment. Your therapist will provide an overview of the therapy process, review the intake paperwork and policies, and address any questions or concerns you have while building rapport and trust. While the session may not delve deeply into therapeutic interventions, it lays the foundation for future sessions and collaboration between you and your therapist.
It is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know each other, establish goals, and begin the collaborative process of healing and growth. It's normal to feel a mix of emotions, including relief, nervousness, or uncertainty, but know that your therapist is there to support you every step of the way.
In subsequent therapy sessions, homework assignments can be assigned by your therapist to complete outside the sessions. Typically these are tasks or activities designed to reinforce therapeutic goals, facilitate skill-building, promote self-awareness, and encourage active engagement in the therapeutic process.

The frequency of therapy sessions can vary depending on individual needs, preferences, and the nature of the presenting concerns. It is determined collaboratively between the individual and their therapist, taking into account factors such as treatment goals, treatment modalities to be utilized, progress, financial considerations, and personal preferences. It's essential to communicate openly with your therapist about your needs and preferences to determine the most appropriate frequency for your therapy sessions. Adjustments to session frequency can be made as needed throughout the course of treatment to ensure that you receive the support and guidance you need to thrive.
