Individual Therapy

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 

CBT is widely regarded as the “Gold Standard” for mental health treatment. It’s proven effective for treating depression, anxiety, OCD, panic, stress, worry, sleep issues, anger management, and relationship issues.

Ricky and Jennelle combined have hundreds of hours of expert-level CBT training and consultation. They also keep rigorously up-to-date on CBT research and treatment development.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping skills. It's a very practical therapy approach with loads of tools and strategies. Originally created for people who experienced intense mood swings and dysregulation and didn't respond to other forms of treatment, DBT is now widely used to treat anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.

DBT combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help individuals establish more balance in their lives. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions or relationship challenges, DBT provides practical tools to build resilience and regain control of your life.

Jennelle is currently completing her certification training in DBT.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT is a leading treatment for trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT has the highest recommendation of the American Psychological Association (APA) treatment guidelines for PTSD. Ricky was trained directly by one of the developers of the treatment, Dr. Candice Monson.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies

Mindfulness-based therapy is most effective for reducing stress, improving self-awareness, increasing focus and attention, and regulating emotion. We have attended intensive mindfulness retreats and maintain a regular mindfulness practice. Ricky has also completed intensive training in Mindful Self-Compassion.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-focused brief therapy is most effective for problem-solving, dealing with immediate concerns, and creating a plan to meet personal goals.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
