Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy Services are available as in-person sessions in Perth and Carleton Place. Virtual sessions are available across Ontario.

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a way to help individuals, partners, families, children and youth with a broad range of mental and emotional wellness challenges. It can assist in eliminating or controlling unmanageable symptoms so an individual can increase their overall functioning and well-being.

Psychotherapy helps with the impact of trauma, medical illness, death, coping with the challenges associated with daily life; and specific mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression.

Our Psychotherapy services can help not only alleviate symptoms, but also, certain types of psychotherapies can help identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition so a person can function better and have enhanced emotional and mental wellness.

During psychotherapy, you learn about your specific issues
and how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors affect your moods. Talk therapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

How We Help

At Aruma, we feel that you are the expert when it comes to how you feel, after all you know yourself best. We are here to create a safe space for you to unpack your life story and experiences.

From here, we guide you through an assortment of practices which may include traditional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic practices (breath work, meditation, and other forms of body movement), dialectic behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

“Whenever there is tension, it needs attention.” ~ Dr. Gabor Mate

Which Service is Right For Me?

If you are wondering if psychotherapy is right for you, we feel it is right for everyone. Healing leads to decreased tension in the mind. A mind free from tension, grants us the freedom to fully engage in the life we seek.

It can be confusing to decide between counselling, psychotherapy, or coaching services, and our goal is
to break that down, making your choice a little less overwhelming. At Aruma, the only element
separating our counselling and psychotherapy services is professional registration and their regulating
bodies.

  • Our Counsellors are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), making them Registered Social Workers.
  • Whereas, our Psychotherapists are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), making them Registered Psychotherapists.
  • Coaching is our newest mental and emotional wellness service, and does not currently have a regulatory body overseeing it. Coaching practitioners at Aruma, are certified with a school of thought that aligns with our mission to encourage individuals to maximize their personal and professional potential.
