Individual Therapy

Individual counseling is a personal opportunity to receive support and to experience growth during challenging times in life. Our therapists create a safe, caring and confidential environment that allows you to work through your “stuff” in a way that makes sense for you.

Areas of focus:

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy or counselling that can help you and your partner improve your relationship and your relationship satisfaction. Couples therapy can help at any stage of the relationship, regardless of marital status, age, race, faith, or sexual orientation.

Areas of focus:

Family Therapy

Family therapy may include all family members or only those who able or willing to participate. Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family's situation. Family therapy sessions can teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you're done going to therapy sessions.

Areas of focus:

Sex Therapy

We offer a safe and welcoming space for you to explore and address your sex and intimacy concerns through evidence-based therapy. Our dedicated team is committed to enhancing your well-being through a variety of modalities and models, including Sensate Focus, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Attachment-based Therapies. These approaches are carefully selected to foster acceptance and understanding, helping you build a healthier relationship with yourself and your partner(s).

Our specialized sex therapy services are designed to address a broad range of concerns, such as:

• Sexual pain and discomfort

• Navigating sex after menopause

• Exploring kink and BDSM interests

• Managing desire discrepancies

• Overcoming sexual arousal challenges

• Lack of orgasm

• Erectile dysfunction

Our goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable and empowered to talk openly about your sexual interests and concerns. We believe that by improving communication and emotional connection, you can cultivate a more fulfilling and satisfying intimate life.

Things to consider:

• Reflect on what you want to achieve from therapy.

• Consider what specific issues you’d like to address.

• Think about how you and your partner(s) can improve communication around intimacy.

At Seeds of Hope, we understand that each individual's journey is unique. While our primary methods are well-established, we also recognize the value of considering different perspectives and approaches, ensuring personalized care that meets your specific needs.

We like to think of these assessments as a process that allows us to develop an owner’s manual for the brain. With this manual in hand, it’s much easier to improve learning, daily functioning and development.

If your child is struggling with learning or behaviour at school, educational and psychological testing can help identify cognitive, academic, and behavioural factors that may be impeding their long-term success.

Seeds of Hope provides psychoeducational assessments in French and English for Specific Learning Disabilities (formerly called dyslexia and dysgraphia), Intellectual Disabilities, and ADHD.

Psychoeducational assessments evaluate verbal skills, visual skills, reasoning skills, memory, processing speed, learning, and behaviour. A straightforward report will outline strengths and weaknesses and will provide recommendations for behavioural, academic, and cognitive interventions at school and at home, leaving you empowered to make timely changes in your child’s home and school environments.

Chantal is bilingual and is able to conduct parts of, or whole assessments en français and in English: perfect for French-immersion and francophone students.

Alycia, Melanie, Pavaneet, Paige, and Carolynn are able to provide assessments in English.

Assessments are useful for an individual who:

• has chronic below grade-level achievement in reading, writing or math

• needs a formal assessment to receive services or supports 

• struggles with keeping up in class 

• has difficulty with short term memory

• isn’t performing to their full potential

• is not progressing in learning despite significant support

• has a parent or sibling with a Learning Disorder, ADHD, Autism or Intellectual Disability

• requires AISH funding as an adult

• has an identified specific learning disorder and has not been assessed in the last 2 years

What does an assessment entail?

• a one-hour clinical interview with parents to gain a thorough understanding of developmental information and current difficulties

• 4 to 7 hours in clinic with your child, conducting standardized testing and completing appropriate questionnaires

• a 1.5 – 2 hour meeting with parents and relevant support persons to review findings and discuss recommendations
