Who we work with

We work with individuals, couples, and families. As therapists with a relational and trauma focus, we understand the role and importance of being in a platonic, familial, or romantic relationship. People say it’s better to be single than in a bad relationship. But the reality is much more complex than that. Our therapists specializes working with adults who have been or currently in a toxic and unhealthy relationship with a parent or a partner.

How we work with you

Therapy doesn’t not have to be serious or stressful! We bring humour, light-heartedness, and compassion in the therapy room. We blend theories and realities, making your emotional challenges feel relatable and offering practical skills that you can easily apply to your life. Our work involves helping you understand yourself better and be able to form healthy and meaningful relationships with others. We will work together to relieve your emotional struggles, make choices and communicate them confidently, and help you rebuild your life.

“To be human is to need others, and this is no flaw or weakness.”

- Dr. Sue Johnson

At The Therapeutic Way, we know the importance of relationships. It’s rewarding to be in relationships. Being able to share little moments with your loved ones, is what makes it meaningful. But every relationship goes through rough patches, and every relationship needs maintenance. We specialize in healing insecure attachment, process on-going relational trauma or relationship trauma that’s happened, and create more fulfilling relationship with others. Some of the things we will cover in therapy are:

★ Being able to identify and assert your unmet needs in your relationships

A lot of therapists offer free consultation calls for you to decide they are a right fit.

  • Online therapy is as effective as in person therapy. What is most important with any format of therapy is the strong therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist. Online therapy is a good option when coming in-person is not feasible, when you have dependents at home, and it is also more convenient.

    At The Therapeutic Way, we offer online therapy and therapy by phone from the convenience of your home. Click here to learn more about our online therapy.

  • Not necessarily. Online therapy and in-person therapy are usually the same cost as their effectiveness are the same. Online therapy can also be most cost effective for the client as transportation is not involved. Now, there are therapy apps or programs that area available to clients that are cheaper than traditional therapy. However, the effectiveness of those programs are questionable, and they are most likely not covered by insurance.

    At The Therapeutic Way, we offer online therapy with a registered psychotherapist that is covered by most insurance providers and helps you save the cost of transportation.
