CURRENT OFFERINGS

All of our services are trauma-informed and person-centered - meaning that we value meeting you wherever you are at in your mental health journey.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Do you take compliments like a wrinkly bill in a bank machine (ie: not well) and want to improve your self esteem? Or perhaps you may have experienced a significant loss or trauma that you'd like to process in a safe space. We are highly trained to assess and assist you with a range of mental health related concerns. Our rates start at $180 per 50 min session. Virtual (residents of NS) and in-person options available.

Therapeutic Approaches

WPATH ASSESSMENTS

If you are an adult looking to access gender affirming surgery in Nova Scotia, you will need a psychosocial assessment by a clinician trained in the WPATH Standards of Care - that's where we come in! Sam is qualified to offer these assessments and can send a letter of recommendation for HRT and/or surgery with a report to your GP or NP if you are eligible.

We value mentorship and enjoy supporting fellow clinicians in their practice. We have received formal training in providing evidence-based clinical supervision. We currently offer general supervision, EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultation, CACBT Certification Hours and Prolonged Exposure Certification Hours. We use a sliding scale model from $160-$200 per 50 min session. Pre-licensed clinicians are also welcome to contact regarding clinical practicum.

COUPLES THERAPY

There are many reasons why a couple may seek out therapy. It may be to improve communication, navigate transitions (eg: postpartum), amicable uncoupling, improving intimacy, or opening up a relationship and exploring new dynamics. Our approach is grounded in attachment and systems theory while incorporating Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for couples - an evidence-based treatment.

Couples therapy session rate is $225 per 50 min.
