YOUR JOURNEY

Every journey toward healing begins with a spark—a moment of courage, a vision for change, or the desire to grow. At Holistic Path, we honor that spark and help it flourish, guiding you toward a life of fulfillment and empowerment. Together, we’ll create the momentum for lasting transformation.

Exploring The Path Forward

Therapy is a space for reflection, growth, and connection. On this path, you’ll find a compassionate and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood—whether you’re attending your first session or continuing long-term work.

We take a holistic, person-centred approach, seeing you as more than your challenges. Your experiences, values, and goals shape the direction of therapy. Healing looks different for everyone, and we work collaboratively to create an approach that feels aligned with you, supporting meaningful and lasting change.

What To Expect

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

Clarity and Direction: In our first few sessions, we’ll explore your story, goals, and values—laying the foundation for meaningful work ahead.
Tools for Everyday Life: Therapy isn’t just reflective—it’s practical. You'll learn strategies for emotional regulation, boundaries, nervous system support, and relational health.
A Collaborative Space: You are the expert in your life. Our role is to walk beside you, offering insight, perspective, and support—always with your voice at the centre.
Lasting Impact: As you grow, you may notice shifts not only in how you feel, but in how you live. Clients often share that their work here leads to clearer relationships, stronger self-trust, and more grounded decision-making.

Our team of Registered Psychotherapists, all licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), brings a wide range of specialties to support your unique needs and are committed to making therapy inclusive, accessible, and meaningful for all.

TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATION

Our evidence-based modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more. Each tool is thoughtfully chosen to address your unique needs and to foster clarity, balance, and resilience in your life.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach designed to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. CBT focuses on the present moment, helping you become aware of negative thinking and behaviors that might be holding you back. It is commonly used to treat conditions like anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep disturbances.

CBT techniques include thought challenging, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral activation. By addressing distorted thinking and building healthier mental habits, CBT empowers you to shift your perspective, enhance coping strategies, and improve your overall emotional well-being.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy helps individuals explore and reshape the stories they tell about their lives. This approach views problems as separate from the person, empowering you to reframe challenges and create a more positive and empowering narrative. By focusing on your strengths, values, and past successes, narrative therapy can help you re-author your life story in a way that promotes resilience, healing, and growth.

Techniques in narrative therapy include externalization, where problems are treated as separate from you, and meaning-making, where you re-examine your experiences and how they shape your identity. The goal is to empower you to construct new meanings and narratives that align with your values and foster personal empowerment.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals regulate intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and manage distress. DBT teaches four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help you stay present in the moment, manage difficult emotions, tolerate distress, and navigate challenging relationships with greater ease.

DBT combines cognitive and behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It is especially effective for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, borderline personality disorder, or self-destructive behaviors. The ultimate goal is to help you build a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

Emotion-Focused Therapy

Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) can help individuals, couples or families embrace their emotions and use them to change. Emotion focused therapy aims to help you develop a new awareness, acceptance, expression, and management of your emotions. This approach is versatile in that it can be used in family therapy to heal relationships, in couple’s therapy to resolve marital conflict, and in individual therapy to treat depression, anxiety disorder, and PTSD.

EFT uses techniques such as reframing, self-awareness building, emotional regulation, and validating one’s own emotional experience. The goal is to increase self-compassion and the ability to constructively manage emotions.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps you resolve ambivalence and strengthen your motivation to make meaningful changes in your life. It is often used for addressing issues like addiction, health behaviors, and lifestyle changes. MI encourages self-reflection and helps you identify your own reasons for change, building confidence and commitment in the process.

Key techniques of MI include open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations that support your autonomy and self-efficacy. The goal is to guide you toward making decisions that align with your values and aspirations while fostering a sense of empowerment and personal responsibility.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapeutic approach that recognizes the mind as a system of distinct "parts," each carrying unique roles and emotions. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS helps individuals connect with their core Self—a state of calmness, curiosity, and compassion—to foster healing and harmony within.

We use IFS strategies such as parts mapping, unblending techniques, guided self-dialogue, and mindfulness exercisesto help clients understand, heal, and integrate their inner world. This process nurtures self-leadership, emotional resilience, and personal growth.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. By using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess unresolved memories, reducing their emotional charge and transforming how they are stored.

EMDR therapy involves eight structured phases, including history-taking, preparation, and reprocessing. It is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and other trauma-related conditions. The ultimate goal is to empower you to move beyond past experiences and embrace a sense of freedom, emotional balance, and resilience.

Art Assisted Therapy

Art-Assisted Therapy is a creative and expressive therapeutic approach that uses the process of making art to help individuals explore emotions, reduce stress, and enhance self-awareness. This modality encourages self-expression through various artistic mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, or collage, offering a safe space to process thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to verbalize.

This approach is especially effective for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. By engaging in the creative process, you can uncover new insights, foster emotional healing, and reconnect with your inner strengths. The focus is not on artistic skill but on using creativity as a powerful tool for transformation and personal growth.

Breath Work

Breath work Therapy is a powerful, body-centred practice that uses intentional breathing techniques to promote relaxation, emotional release, and self-awareness. By focusing on the breath, this therapeutic approach helps to calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and access deeper layers of the subconscious mind.

Breath work can be particularly effective for managing anxiety, trauma, stress, and emotional blockages. Techniques may include diaphragmatic breathing, circular breathing, and paced breathing exercises. This practice empowers you to harness the natural rhythm of your breath as a gateway to healing, balance, and an enhanced sense of well-being.

Guided Meditations

Guided Meditations are a soothing, mindfulness-based approach that combines relaxation techniques with visualization and focused attention to promote mental clarity and emotional balance. Through guided sessions, you are gently led to a state of deep relaxation and inner awareness, helping you reconnect with your sense of calm and well-being.

This therapeutic practice is highly effective for reducing stress, managing anxiety, improving focus, and enhancing self-compassion. Techniques may include body scans, progressive relaxation, mindfulness exercises, and visualization journeys. Guided meditation offers a safe and nurturing space to explore your inner world, helping you foster resilience, clarity, and emotional healing.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt Therapy is a dynamic, experiential approach that focuses on the here and now, empowering you to gain greater self-awareness and take ownership of your experiences. This therapy emphasizes the integration of thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping you understand how past experiences influence your current patterns and behaviours.

Through techniques such as role-playing, dialogue, and mindfulness, Gestalt Therapy encourages you to explore unresolved emotions, enhance self-expression, and foster deeper connections with yourself and others. The goal is to help you live more authentically, embrace personal responsibility, and create meaningful change in your life.

Polyvagal Theory-Based Therapy (PVT)

Polyvagal Theory-Based Therapy is an innovative, science-backed approach rooted in Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, which explores how the nervous system influences emotional regulation, social connection, and resilience. This therapy focuses on understanding and leveraging the three states of the autonomic nervous system: safety (ventral vagal state), mobilization (sympathetic state), and shutdown (dorsal vagal state)

Through practices such as breathwork, vocal exercises (humming or singing), safe touch, and mindful movement, this therapy helps you shift from states of stress or shutdown into feelings of safety and connection. Polyvagal Theory-Based Therapy is especially effective for individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, or challenges with emotional regulation, helping them reconnect with their inner sense of safety and well-being.
