Online / Video Therapy

Sometimes it is not always feasible to travel to a therapist’s office to access mental health support.

This can be due to a variety of reasons ranging from:

  • Limited access to transportation
  • Living in a remote area
  • Becoming sick and not wanting to share your germs

Bipolar Therapy

Do you wonder if you have bipolar or what it means now that you have been diagnosed? Are you wondering what this means for you and the rest of your life? Do you feel defeated by the rollercoaster experience that bipolar can create? Are you struggling with knowing how to fix some of the things that happened while you were not healthy?

Or perhaps you are a loved one, struggling with knowing how to help someone who has bipolar? Feeling confused about what is actually helpful and what the difference is between supporting him or her and still taking care of yourself? Perhaps you also feel overwhelmed at the diagnosis and do not really understand what it is or what can be done to manage it.

Both of you may also be wondering how family or other loved ones can be involved so that a strong support team can be developed, while also making sure the person who has bipolar maintains personal rights and privacy?

If these questions sound similar and you would like to learn more, then click here to gain access to several brief videos from our Bipolar Video Series. These videos discuss various topics on bipolar and topics which previous clients have asked about.

Alternatively, feel free to call us directly to ask any questions you may have or to book an appointment.

Treatment for Insomnia and Sleep Difficulties

Do you find yourself ready to fall asleep during the day or in the evening, with eyes wanting to close, to only go to bed and then instantly feel awake or restless?

Do you toss and turn in bed with an attempt to try and get some sleep but nothing seems to work?

Do you feel like these sleep difficulties are beginning to negatively impact how you function and are noticing the impact at work or with family and friends?

Do you worry that these sleep difficulties may never go away?

If you would like help in addressing these concerns and with improving your sleep, call us for a consultation or appointment.

THERAPY OPTIONS TO FIT YOUR BUDGET

We understand that accessing effective private mental health support is not always within everyone's budget. To increase accessibility to services, PsychSolutions will be resuming their internship program in the fall of 2023. Through our internship program, clients will continue to have access to mental health services, but at a reduced rate. Since our interns work closely with their supervisor, who is a fully licensed psychologist, many extended health benefit plans continue to approve coverage. Through the internship program, clients can opt to see intern therapists for individual sessions or by attending a support group.

Contact us to learn more about this program and if it would be a good fit for your needs.

Note: No longer accepting intern applicants for Fall 2023-Spring 2024.
