our services
at rooted willow, we believe in a strengths-based approach acknowledging that you are the expert on your own life and your relationships. for couples and partnerships, we have advanced training in emotionally focused therapy for couples (eft-c), an approach which is based on the principle that our emotions are central to our experiences and significant relationships, and the more you understand about yourself and others, the deeper your connections become. we also use a thoughtful evidence-based integration of several models of therapy to meet your individual needs including acceptance and commitment therapy (act), cognitive behavioural therapy (cbt), and skills from dialectical behavioural therapy (dbt).

nurturing new beginnings: we’ll start by getting to know each other. you’ll have a chance to share your thoughts and feelings in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.
-
grounding your path: we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your goals together. it’s all about finding the best ways to support you.
