Services
Adult Psychotherapy
Adult Psychotherapy at Grace North addresses trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges through personalized sessions. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR to help clients develop coping skills and emotional resilience. Clients gain self-awareness and tools to navigate life's complexities while working collaboratively with experienced Registered Social Workers.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy specializes in resolving trauma through bilateral stimulation techniques that reprocess distressing memories. This eight-phase approach addresses both catastrophic events and relational trauma while restoring natural healing processes. Clients experience reduced emotional distress and improved self-perception through structured sessions led by trained trauma specialists using eye movements or tactile stimulation.
Child/Youth Therapy
Child and Youth Therapy supports emotional development for ages 10-12 through trauma-informed interventions. Our specialists address anxiety, behavioral challenges, and self-esteem issues using age-appropriate techniques like narrative therapy and mindfulness. Parents receive guidance through consultation services that complement children's therapeutic progress in a nurturing, family-centered environment.
Maternal Mental Health
Maternal Mental Health services address perinatal depression, identity loss, and motherhood burnout through specialized counseling. Therapists help mothers navigate emotional overwhelm and societal expectations while building supportive networks. The program includes group therapy options like The Motherload Workshop for shared experiences and practical coping strategies.
Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching provides practical strategies for managing childhood anxiety, behavioral issues, and family dynamics. Two-hour consultation sessions combine psycho-education with skill-building exercises tailored to specific family needs.
