Individual Counselling

Deciding to start individual counselling is a wonderful way to take care of yourself. Whether this is the first time you’re seeking out mental health support or if you’re coming back into therapy after time away, we are here for you. We meet you where you’re at today, at this moment. If you’re feeling anxious, we can offer supportive ways to feel more calm and centred. If you’re dealing with depression and hopelessness, we provide a supportive, caring environment for you to feel those emotions rather than you having to put on a happy face. 

Tired of just getting through each day, feeling disorganized and only living in survival mode? We will support you in learning to thrive well.  Our therapeutic approach is integrative and specifically curated to your individual needs. Together with your therapist, you’ll clear a path to a sustainable life that is more aligned with your values and is one that you can walk with ease.

Thrivewell’s therapists come from various backgrounds, including lived experiences as members of the LGBTQ2S and BIPOC communities. We offer support for youth, adults and seniors. Our goal is to ensure that when you connect with a therapist at ThriveWell, you are speaking with someone who can truly understand your struggles and offer personalized care that is right for you.

Support For Mental Health Struggles
And Life Experiences

We know how important it is to feel seen, heard, and understood. Sometimes it can be difficult to imagine that anyone else is dealing with what you are facing on a daily basis. Your experiences related to mental health are uniquely yours, and the counsellors at ThriveWell are trained in clinically proven, therapeutic approaches to help you with these struggles.  

We can deepen your understanding of your emotions and what your feelings are trying to tell you. In therapy, you may be invited to explore and sometimes question your thoughts and thinking patterns. We offer insights into how your body holds tension that might be directly connected to past trauma. More importantly, we can help you to look at how your past is impacting your present and how to prevent this from impacting your future. Together, you and your counsellor will explore the tools that might fit best with your specific needs. This can lead to less anxiety, improved relationships with yourself and others and a plan that helps you to move forward in your life.

One On One Therapy For Depression,
Anxiety & Trauma

The most consistent reasons that people reach out for one on one counselling are depression, anxiety or trauma. If you’ve been feeling “not yourself” but don’t know why it may be a good time to reach out. Why? As mental health professionals, we are trained to spot symptoms that are sometimes lesser known to the general public. 

Depression Support 

Depression can be as subtle as sitting in a warm bath and not noticing that the water is cooling until you find yourself shivering. If you’ve been having issues with sleep, struggling with feeling flat emotionally, dealing with strong feelings of anger/resentment, or avoiding social situations, you may not realize that this is actually how depression can feel. We can help you to recognize these lesser-known depression symptoms. Understanding why you’re not feeling like yourself is the first step to feeling better. We can provide care and guidance for managing and reducing your experience of depression.

Anxiety Relief

Anxiety is incredibly unfair. It prevents you from enjoying life or even fully participating in it. Your world becomes smaller, and sometimes so does your circle of friends and loved ones. Often people wait for anxiety to become too much before seeking support. This has happened a LOT, especially for people experiencing anxiety since the pandemic began. The effects on mental health from Covid-19 for many have been massive. 

We understand how the struggle with anxiety can look and feel different, depending on your life and how it impacts you. Often with anxiety, a feeling of powerlessness is present. Our therapists make sure that you know you’re in a safe space and feel in control of your therapy experience. We look at your individual needs and talk with you about different treatment options, to ensure that you feel comfortable throughout the therapeutic journey.

Individual Counselling For Trauma 

Trauma comes from many different sources and is often the source of many mental health complaints. It could be you’ve suffered abuse in childhood, a physical injury due to an accident, time spent in the ICU, domestic violence, witnessing a tragic event, childbirth, or any other individual situation. If trauma from your past is impacting your life today, now may be the time to take action. You survived, and you deserve to thrive now in your day-to-day life. 

Everyone at ThriveWell practices therapy through a trauma-informed lens. That means we understand how trauma may be playing a role in other aspects of your life. You and your therapist can explore new ways to reclaim your power, so you start feeling truly present and alive again.

Your Next Step Towards Healing
Can Start Now

Beginning something new or starting again takes courage and a willingness to move forward, even where fear and uncertainty may be present. Taking the next step to consider therapy and speaking with one of our counsellors is one of the best forms of self-care a person can choose. We invite you to book a consultation, and congratulate you on learning more about Individual Counselling with ThriveWell. If you have any questions, please reach out, we are here for you.
