Anxiety Therapy

Is anxiety keeping you from living the life you want?

Anxiety symptoms can feel like excessive worry, dread or fear. It can cause muscle tension, sweating, and trouble sleeping and is often associated with a sense of disconnection from things you once enjoyed. Therapy can help you manage your anxiety with the help of the right tools, strategies and support you need to better understand and cope with your feelings. We can help you to gain more control and feel relief so you can get back to living your life.

Depression Therapy

Have you lost some or all of the joy you used to experience?

Depression symptoms can manifest as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of energy or interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Physical symptoms can include changes in appetite, low energy, and trouble sleeping. Emotionally, depression can leave you feeling isolated and alone. Therapy can be helpful in treating depression by providing support, understanding, and coping strategies. Therapy can help you experience improved mood, increased motivation and a greater sense of hope and wellbeing.

Trauma & PTSD Therapy

Is a past event in your life keeping you from moving forward?

Trauma can cause symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance behaviours, hypervigilance, and feelings of anxiety, guilt or shame. Emotional and physical responses to trauma can impact daily life and relationships. Therapy can help individuals, who have experienced trauma, to process their experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. With therapy, you may experience a greater sense of control, lead to improved relationships, a stronger sense of self-worth, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Substance use & Addiction Therapy

Do you find yourself relying more and more on alcohol or drugs to help you get through the day?

As a result of increased substance use, you may find yourself struggling with a growing addiction, tolerance to what was once an occasional activity, mood swings, and relationship difficulties. It's also common to feel shame, guilt, and a sense of disconnection from others and yourself. With therapy, you can experience a greater ability to manage triggers and cravings, improve relationships and feel a strengthened sense of self-worth. You don't have to face this challenge alone, we can help.

Relationship & Couples Therapy

Are you struggling to reconnect or build a stronger relationship?

Relationships can be complicated and sometimes leave us feeling lost and alone. You may be struggling with communication difficulties, trust issues, conflicts, or feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner. These challenges can impact your daily life, causing feelings of sadness, frustration, and anxiety. Therapy can offer you a supportive and safe space to work through your challenges, develop healthy communication skills, build trust and address conflicts in a constructive manner. Therapy can help you set healthy boundaries and offer the tools and support you need to create meaningful connections.

At OMHT, we specialize in couples counselling to help you work through difficulties and build stronger connections.

Grief & Loss Therapy

Are you struggling to move forward after a loss or find your grief can feel like too much to handle on your own?

Grief and loss can be overwhelming and can bring up a range of emotions including sadness, anger, guilt and confusion. It's common to feel isolated and disconnected from the people around you. Therapy can help you to manage those feelings and work through them in a safe environment. You can explore why you feel the way you do, develop healthier coping mechanisms and ultimately take the steps to move forward at a pace that works for you. You don't have to face your pain alone, we can help.

Workplace Issues & Career Challenges

Therapy can provide the support you need to navigate these challenges. We can help you find greater balance in your life, recognize your personal strengths, and gain clarity on how to best address difficult situations you might be facing.

Navigating Life Transitions

Are you facing a change in your life that is creating feelings of overwhelm, stress or uncertainty?

Has your experience with abuse kept you from living with any type of normalcy?
