Certified EMDR Therapy: Solution-based therapy for proven, lasting results.

You experience recurring anxiety or insecurity in your relationships, unsure of your partner’s feelings or fearing they’ll leave.
You often question your ability to make the right relationship choices, leading to low self-confidence and shallow connections.
You have difficulty setting boundaries, leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed, or taken for granted.
You notice repeating unhealthy patterns in your relationships, such as fear of abandonment, pushing people away, or staying in toxic dynamics.
Unresolved grief from past breakups, loss, or betrayal is preventing you from fully healing and moving forward.

Through simple, back-and-forth eye movements, EMDR works with your nervous system to help clear out the emotional and physical tension that’s been trapped.
This process rewires neural connections in your brain, allowing your body to finally release what’s been blocking you from moving forward.

EMDR Counselling FAQs
Do you accept health insurance?
As Registered Clinical Counsellors and Certified Canadian Counsellors, our services are covered by a number of extended health benefit plans. Please consult with your service provider to determine the type of coverage you have. Clients are responsible for paying for sessions and then submitting their claim to their insurance provider. On request, a receipt will be provided for you to submit for reimbursement.
How many sessions will I need?
It’s hard to predict exactly how many EMDR sessions you'll need, as everyone heals at their own pace. While EMDR can be quicker than traditional therapy, some may need just a few sessions, while others may require up to 6 months for lasting change.
Are there any risks to counselling?
While counselling can be an excellent source of support it’s normal to experience stronger than usual emotions when exploring difficult topics and trying out new behaviours. If you feel uncomfortable with the interventions we suggest or with the pace, know that we can adjust things as needed.
Can EMDR be done virtually?
Absolutely! EMDR works just as effectively in online sessions. We use techniques like audio, tapping, or eye movements through the screen, allowing you to experience the same benefits from the comfort of your home.
Can I use EMDR alongside individual counselling?
We offer 50 and 75 minute EMDR sessions. Longer sessions are typically recommended for EMDR.
