Emotion Regulation Therapy

Do you experience overwhelming emotions, numbing emptiness or a relentless loop of critical thoughts that leave you feeling out of control? You might have learned to push your feelings down, only to find yourself relying on coping strategies that offer fleeting relief but ultimately leave you feeling stuck.

The fact that you’re here and eager to learn how to build a healthier relationship with your emotions shows that you’re already on the path to growth. As a therapist, I’m here to provide a safe space where we can break down and process your emotions, helping you connect with your nervous system. Together, we’ll explore how your emotions can guide you toward what you need, while unpacking the beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that may be holding you back. This understanding allows us to heal at the root, fostering lasting change and teaching you how to deeply love and nurture yourself.

Emotional Regulation Therapy FAQ

How long will therapy last?

The frequency of your appointments will be discussed and determined during your initial therapy sessions, based on your unique needs. Typically, after six to eight sessions, you and your therapist will review your progress. Treatment goals will be assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary. It's important to remember that you have full control over the therapy process. You are always free to discontinue treatment at any time, regardless of your therapist's perspective. However, we encourage you to have a conversation with your therapist before making the decision to end therapy. Keep in mind, each therapy experience is individual, and outcomes can vary from person to person.

What will happen in the first session?

The first session, or "consultation," is all about getting to know you and understanding what you're going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.

Are Psychological Services Covered by OHIP?

Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy services. The coverage details, including reimbursement rates, may vary depending on your insurer and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage details and claim process. Payment for services is due at the end of each session. A detailed receipt will be provided, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
