NEW HAMBURG MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND CLINICAL COUNSELLING

Psychotherapy and Clinical Counselling is intended to help people improve or maintain their mental health and well-being. It can be done by yourself, with a partner or as a group. It is primarily talk based but incorporates other aspects including body based exercises and movement. The psychotherapist and client work together to bring about positive change in the client's thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning.

Our Psychotherapy and Clinical Counselling services provide a variety of areas of expertise to help individuals, couples or groups with matters related to trauma, identity and relationships. These are umbrellas that cover a large range of issues and symptoms including communication, conflict management, parenting, people pleasing, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, life transitions, decision making, identity, confidence, self worth, and so on.

CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK AND COUNSELLING

Our Clinical Social Work and Counselling services provide a variety of areas of expertise to help individuals and families with matters such as child and adult mental health, depression, anxiety, addictions, domestic violence, child abuse, custody and access disputes, Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) rehabilitation and chronic pain just to name a few. Recovery is a subjective experience, and depending on the circumstance, a combination of interventions and modalities that best suit the specific needs of an individual can be used during treatment sessions.

In addition to offering clinical counselling and therapy, this service also provides general social work supports that may include but are not limited to connecting individuals and their families to the most appropriate resources in the community, making referrals for their family members to different/other service providers, as well as general navigation of the social system (for example Ontario Housing, Ontario Works, Ontario Disability, court services just to name a few).

Many Extended Health Care (EHC) insurance policies fully or partially cover individuals for mental health services such as Psychotherapy or Clinical Social Work and Counselling.

These services may be specifically covered under "Psychotherapy", "Social Work" or "Counselling". Please check your policy for details.
