mental health support

Providing long-term mental, emotional and physical support to help nourish your mind and help you to feel like yourself again

How We Can Help

Chances are if you are here that you have been struggling with your mental health for too long.  If you find yourself drained from doing daily activities, if you would rather be in bed than in social situations, if you find that struggling with your internal world takes all of the energy you have to get through the day, you’re in the right place.

Our team is here to help support you to understand what is happening mental/emotionally and transcend the intensity of these experiences so that you can function on a daily basis and reconnect with yourself. 

Through individualized support we are here to support you, no matter how your mental health is impacting your daily life, through customized treatment plans, a safe environment and ongoing support.

What is Mental Health?

Our Mental Health refers to our overall mental and emotional wellbeing. It is a huge aspect of how we feel on a daily basis. It is normal to experience emotions and mental experiences that are intense in moderation. However when those emotions and mental overwhelm begin to impact our functioning on a daily basis and make it hard just to get through the days we often need some extra support to help with bearing this amount of overwhelm. 

Mental Health conditions include 

• Eating Disorders

• Stress/Overwhelm

• Depression

• Anxiety 

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Insomnia 

• And much more

You do not need to have a diagnosis to be struggling with your mental and emotional health. Life can throw challenges at us that impact our mental functioning every day. Some days they are bearable and some days they aren’t and that is okay. Supporting mental health is about holding space on those days when things are hard and seem impossible to get through, whether you have a mental health condition or not. We are here to help with that. You are not in this alone.

What To Expect

Whatever your mental health concern may be, our team will take the time to hear you, meet you where you are at, and teach you how to feel confident and comfortable in your body again. Our ultimate goal is always to dig deeper and find the unique underlying causes of your mental health imbalance, so that symptoms are corrected – not masked, you feel in control of your wellbeing, and you begin to see your mind as an ally and not the enemy anymore!

our 5 step mental health program

1. Mental + Emotional Support - The first step is acknowledging what is going on for you on a daily basis. We work to manage the intensity of the mental, emotional symptoms and stressors that you are experiencing on a daily basis so that you can function in your life. We will work to identify and navigate the underlying thoughts, conditions, experiences and feelings that are contributing to your mental health and well being.

2. Resetting The Digestive System – Our mental and physical body are so interconnected that when one is stressed or overwhelmed the other will often follow. We will work to support and reset your digestive function and associated symptoms so that it physically feels okay to eat and nourish your body so that your body can get the nutrients it needs.

3. Optimizing Physical Health – We look at your physical body including your nervous system, adrenal gland and hormonal health to bring it back into balance so that you can find COMFORT in your body.

4. Relationship With Yourself – By acknowledging your relationship with your mental and emotional state, we work to foster a sense of safety and freedom in your feelings so that they are not the enemy but a gateway into understanding yourself. We look at your own sense of self and how environmental factors are contributing to that. We give you the space to get to know yourself so that you are not controlled by your mental state so that you can live your life.

5. Long-Term + Relapse Support – Our mental health and wellbeing doesn’t just end once we are feeling better. It is an ongoing dynamic being the same way that our physical body is. In this way there are times in our lives when our mental health needs more support and times when it doesn’t. We are here for all of it. We offer long-term support to navigate the many different phases that come with navigating your mental health so that you can thrive long term. As our lives change old patterns can be activated and that is okay. That is us just trying to survive. We are here, and prepare for those moments too.
