APPROACH

Let’s be real, each human’s journey to healing is independent and unique.

For this reason, Gather & Ground does not use a cookie-cutter method to guide clients towards restoration.

Attachment-Based
Theory

This theory posits that all human behaviour is motivated by a desire for safety and security. By exploring and identifying your attachment style, you can gain clarity on your relationship patterns and challenges around self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural
Theory

This structured approach will help you transform the unhelpful thoughts, feelings & behaviors that no longer serve you. You will learn how to rewire the cognitive distortions that cause you to remain trapped in a particular way of being.

Dialectical Behaviour
Theory

You will be equipped with a range of skills on how to manage feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, anger, depression, and numbness. This modality aims to connect our emotional mind and our rational mind to obtain a balanced and well-adjusted mindset.

 

Interpersonal
Neurobiology

This method of therapy emphasizes the integration of the mind, body, and soul. Grounded in relational neuroscience, its focus is on how our nervous system responds to our environment while taking into consideration the neural pathways created in our brain.

Narrative
Therapy

Through Narrative Therapy you can gain a deeper understanding of the stories that shape your identity, relationships, and worldview, allowing you to reclaim authorship of your life's story, to speak kindly to yourself and create a more empowered narrative of your life.

Somatic
Therapy

In the nurturing and safe space of therapy, you will discover how the body stores unresolved emotions and experiences, manifesting as tension, pain, or discomfort by reconnecting with your body and learning the tools to attune to the signals your body is giving you.

 
 
 

Unlock the power that already exists within you.

We strive to hit that sweet spot—the familiar and comfortable feeling you get when speaking to a close friend while maintaining the sense of consulting with a mental health professional.

We are authentic humans that will meet you where you are at. We understand that for you to be real, we must be real. For you to be vulnerable, we must be vulnerable.

You are the sole resident of your body, therefore you and only you know what you need to feel whole.

For this reason, in the therapeutic process you are the expert and we are the guides.

As a guide we will lead you down paths you have never explored and bring you to the stones that have been left unturned. Together we will explore the depths of the psyche and the inner workings of your mind and body to gain a comprehensive understanding of why you feel, act, or think the way you do. It is our goal to help you remove these blind spots to expand your perception of what is possible and ultimately access the harmony that already exists within you.
