Why see us?
We treat depression, including postpartum depression,
and relationship problems, using both individual and couple therapy,
at our Vancouver and Sunshine Coast offices.
We are committed to providing empirically supported
treatments. We treat depression using Interpersonal Therapy (IPT),
which has been shown to be as effective as antidepressants. To
help couples, we use Emotion-Focused
Couple Therapy (or EFT), which is one of only three couple
therapies that has been proven to improve relationships. We are
certified at the highest level as providers and supervisors of
EFT.
As regulated health providers, our services are
covered by most extended health benefit plans. Expenses that are
not covered by these plans are tax-deductible as a medical expense.
Regulation also ensures that we meet the standards for training,
experience and professional conduct set out by the College
of Psychologists of BC .
