Treatments for Anxiety & Depression
As part of the anxiety and depression treatment, the following fundamental foundations are used:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a powerful psychological treatment that addresses negative thought patterns and behaviours. CBT will be delivered both individually and in group-based educational sessions. An evidenced-based 12-session sequential CBT program will be delivered to clients.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach designed to help individuals manage emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviours, and improve relationships. DBT will be delivered in both individual and group-based educational sessions, offering skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for lasting positive change.
Skill-Based Educational Series
We focus on teaching practical, applicable skills such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional management. These interactive and experiential sessions allow participants to actively engage, practice, and internalize new abilities, leading to personal growth and improved real-world effectiveness in their daily lives.
Recreational Therapy
Recreational therapy utilizes leisure activities to improve physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s a holistic approach that encourages personal development, social interaction, and skill-building through enjoyable experiences. Tailored to individual needs, recreational therapy fosters relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of accomplishment, enhancing overall quality of life and reducing depression and anxiety symptoms.
Journalling Skills
Journaling skills involve techniques and practices for effectively using written expression as a tool for self-reflection, emotional processing, and personal growth. Through journaling, individuals can explore thoughts and feelings, set goals, and track progress, fostering self-awareness and resilience.
Pharmaceutical Support
As part of your comprehensive treatment plan, psychiatrists and medical professionals will prescribe and monitor medication to alleviate symptoms, stabilize mood, and improve overall well-being, often in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions.
Yoga
Yoga is a holistic practice combining physical postures, breath control, and meditation to enhance mental and physical health. It promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and body awareness, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is a creative form of psychotherapy that uses artistic expression to facilitate emotional healing and self-discovery. Through drawing, painting, sculpting, or other mediums, individuals can externalize feelings, explore personal experiences, and develop coping skills.
24/7 Nursing Support
24/7 nursing support ensures continuous, around-the-clock care for individuals undergoing treatment. Skilled nurses provide medical monitoring, administer medications, and help with daily needs. This constant presence ensures safety, comfort, and immediate response to health concerns.
