Feeling stuck, isolated, or like life is moving forward for everyone else? Many adults face anxiety, depression, trauma, or the challenges of navigating life and relationships on their own. Everyday pressures—work stress, dating, social expectations—can feel overwhelming without support.
At Perception Psychotherapy, we understand the impact of these experiences. Our individual therapy services provide a safe, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental space where adults can explore their thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and develop strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and life challenges.
Whether you are processing past trauma, coping with current stressors, or seeking personal growth, our therapists use evidence-based, holistic, and tailored approaches to help you heal, regulate emotions, and thrive in your daily life. Individual therapy is available in-person in Alberta and Ontario, as well as virtually across Canada.
what is individual therapy?
personalized treatment plans
We recognize that every individual’s journey is unique, which is why we create personalized treatment plans tailored to your goals. Our integrative individual therapy approach combines evidence-based and holistic modalities to address your specific needs, including:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT helps adults identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Through structured techniques, you’ll learn practical strategies to manage emotions, improve mental wellness, and build healthier habits.
Somatic Experiencing:
Somatic therapy addresses trauma and stress stored in the body. By focusing on bodily sensations, adults can release tension, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect mind and body for emotional healing and resilience.
Mindfulness-Based Techniques:
Mindfulness practices help you stay present, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation. Through guided exercises, meditation, and awareness training, you can foster calm, clarity, and mental wellness in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):
DBT combines mindfulness with practical coping skills to help individuals manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and navigate relationships. This trauma-informed approach promotes emotional regulation, stress reduction, and resilience.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
ACT helps individuals accept difficult emotions, clarify values, and take purposeful action. By integrating mindfulness and behavioural strategies, you can develop flexibility, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful change in your life.
Narrative Therapy:
Narrative therapy supports individuals in reshaping the stories they tell about themselves. By exploring personal narratives, you can gain clarity, heal from past experiences, and create empowering perspectives for mental wellness and growth.
Solution-Focused Therapy:
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical strategies to overcome challenges and achieve goals. Individuals learn actionable steps to manage stress, improve relationships, and cultivate resilience while focusing on strengths and possibilities.
