Services

New Leaf Therapeutic Services offers individual, relationship, and family counselling in-person at both the Peterborough and Oshawa locations, or virtually upon request.

Individual Psychotherapy

$135

Individual psychotherapy sessions will  review your concerns in detail, explore the root of the cause, bring awareness to how different areas of your life are effected, and cooperatively establish strategies that will help you manage these issues for your future.

Relational Counselling

$180

Relational counselling aims to build effective communication between you and your partner(s). Accomplishing this will begin by disclosing the issues within a safe and accepting environment. Subsequent discussions may include dissolving the relationship in a healthy way, or discovering the values, needs, and boundaries essential for you and your relationship to flourish.

Family Counselling

$180

New Leaf Therapeutic Services recognizes that all families are different and can be complex to navigate alone.  Therefore, familial support may include adjustment to family structure changes,  navigation of developmental transitions or a new diagnosis, management of conflict among family members, and general mental health support for family members within the household.

My Approach

New Leaf Therapeutic Services offers a freshly educated experience within evidence-based therapeutic practices such as Cognitive Behavioural, Solution-Focused, Internal Family Systems, and Humanistic therapies.  New Leaf Therapeutic Services does not take a one-size-fits all approach to therapy, but aims is to help you achieve your specific goals and offer new insights within a non-judgmental space.
