Psychotherapy is a general term used to describe a form of treatment that is based on "talking work" done with a therapist. The aim is to relieve distress by discussing and expressing feelings; to help change attitudes, behavior and habits that may be unhelpful; and to promote more constructive and adaptive ways of coping.
Successful psychotherapy depends on a supportive, comfortable relationship with a trusted therapist. Whether you are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-harm, stress, trauma, or personalized struggles, Optimum Health Center has a wide range of services to fit your needs.
Virtual psychotherapy sessions are offered to residents of Ontario:

· a clearly communicated, mutually agreed upon goal or plan for the Psychotherapy
· each therapy session has a clear beginning and a clear end where problems or concerns are presented and discussed and outcomes are explored
