The Authentic Life Psychotherapy Services
Locations in Nepean and Orleans
Discover your true self and live an authentic life.
Our psychotherapy team welcomes you to our clinic, where we work with individuals, couples, and families to improve their mental health and foster healthy, secure relationships.
Perhaps you are someone who has struggled to find the right person and have experienced anxiety or depression when a relationship begins or ends. Maybe as a couple, you have a hard time communicating and find yourself repeating the same argument over and over. It could be that your family can’t seem to deal with conflicts that arise between its members.
We help couples recover from betrayals and improve their intimacy. We support couples who are adjusting to new babies, teenagers, and the empty nest.We work with blended families to build agreements and practices that promote effective parenting and collaboration. And we work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions.
