Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is the joint process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy may be to improve quality of life, or to inspire positive change. You may seek therapy to help with issues that are hard to face alone. This method of therapy may also be referred to as psychotherapy, counselling, or talk therapy.
At Nurtured Minds we don’t only focus on areas of concern, but we intertwine personal development into the services we provide. Defining values, identifying core beliefs, learning to assert your needs and to communicate them effectively are all part of the holistic approach to wellness that we honor.
-
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy is the joint process between a therapist and the people who are in the relationship. You may seek relationship therapy in order to solve inter-relational issues, or simply as a tool to enhance and strengthen their relationship. Relationship therapy is based on 5 principles: adapting views of the relationship, modifying any dysfunctional behaviour, decreasing emotional avoidance, improving communication, and promoting strength.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy shown to achieve benefits rapidly ( usually within 1-5 sessions).
ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain, so that they no longer trigger strong emotional and physical reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movement and Voluntary Image Replacement. By the end of the process you still remember the facts, but will no longer experience any symptoms related to the trauma of the event. Importantly, this type of therapy doesn’t require the person to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences to achieve recovery.
-
Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy combines the healing forces of nature, physical activity and psychotherapy into one unique service. Walking while engaging in therapy changes the dynamic for therapist and client, facing forward rather than toward each other allows the therapist to walk alongside the client which can reduce anxiety and increases communication and engagement.
-
Wellness Check-Up
The Wellness Check-Up allows you to really tune in with yourself and your needs. You will complete a provided wellness assessment ahead of the session where you will identify met and unmet needs across all 8 pillars of wellness. During the 40-minute session you and your therapist will work together to identify both strengths and goals for your wellness and self-care practices.

Most of the time, yes. Some insurance companies provide broad coverage for mental health services, however most are quite specific. We have taken this into consideration and intentionally built a team who have a variety of credentials to maximize insurance coverage.

This depends on your individual needs, goals and access to other supports. At Nurtured Minds Wellness we thoroughly assess each client and create a tailored treatment plan based off individual needs. A good way to get an idea of the support you might require would be to book a free discovery call to chat with a therapist.

We deeply value our clients' autonomy in the therapeutic process. If a client decides not to schedule a follow-up therapy session, we honor their choice and refrain from initiating contact. It is important to us that clients feel in control of their therapeutic journey and can decide when and how to continue their sessions. In addition, to ensure the confidentiality and privacy of our clients, we have a policy in place to close client files after 90 days of no contact. This policy is in line with our commitment to providing a safe and respectful therapeutic environment. If you wish to reopen your file this is no problem at all, we will just send you another intake assessment to collect your up to date information.
