Think Well Program

  Did you know that your mental wellness can directly affect your physical wellness, and vice versa? Our Think Well program comprises Counselling and Sleep Therapy to help you address stress, sleep hygiene, anxiety, depression, family relationships, life transitions, bereavement, and more. 
Your counsellor will provide a supportive, judgment-free environment and help you build a unique plan to start seeing the changes you are looking for. Depending on your goals and presenting concerns, your counsellor will use various therapy approaches that will work best for you, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches. 
 
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
 
CBT approaches mental health with the understanding that often, the way we perceive a situation (our own interpretation) has a bigger impact on how we feel than the situation itself. CBT helps you identify unhelpful thinking styles and how these impact how we feel and how we behave. CBT is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be particularly effective in addressing anxiety and depression.

Fast Fascia Facts

Did you know that our muscles, bones, and organs are covered by a net or web-like "suit" full of nerves called FASCIA (FA-SHA)?

  • By releasing your fascia, your body also releases endorphins-so you feel GREAT after a good stretch!
  • Our mobility is determined by how well-hydrated our fascia is--the more you move it, the more supple it becomes
     
  • Fascia holds 6-10x more sensory nerve receptors than the muscles, making it almost as good as your eyes at detecting where your body is in space!

TRY THIS: Stand on one foot and close your eyes. You might feel wobbly in your foot & lower leg. This is called Proprioception and it is your fascia that surrounds these muscles telling your body where it is in space.
