COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)

Our MH team of therapists are trained in CBT. CBT is a structured, time-limited, and goal-oriented form of evidence-based psychotherapy. CBT is offered for the treatment of depression and a wide variety of anxiety concerns, including post-traumatic stress. It can assist people in developing skills and strategies for becoming and staying mentally healthy. CBT helps people to examine how they make sense of what is happening around them and how these perceptions affect the way they feel and behave.

Our MH Program is open to patients of Queen Square Family Health Team, and a physician referral is required.

COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

Our Community Mental Health Team offers group psychotherapy for adults with anxiety and depression. We also offer educational workshops on various topics to help with overall health and wellness.

Our Anxiety & Depression CBT Group runs for 8 sessions, and you meet weekly for two hours. The group sessions will focus on psychoeducation regarding anxiety and depression and explore coping strategies for managing symptoms, and/or practice of skills (i.e. calming techniques/deep breathing; behavioural activation and understanding the thinking-feeling connection).

Our CBT group for anxiety and depression group is open to anyone in the community.  A physician referral is required.
