Welcome to Rivers Edge Counselling Centre. In this section, you will find a list of some of the therapy approaches some of our counsellors employ. This guide is meant to give you some insight into a few of the practical and theoretical approaches taken by our counsellors but is by no means an exhaustive list. It is important to note that all our therapists are trained in multiple approaches and have their own unique styles. Our therapists are always flexible in their methods and will meet with you to decide together on the best plan to achieve your goals and satisfy your needs. Many of these evidence-based practices share common factors that are critical to their efficacy and success. We recognize that the best therapeutic approach is the one that works for you. We find that therapist/client fit is one of the most critical factors in ensuring successful outcomes and we strive to make sure that your fit with your therapist is the best it can be. Learn more about how we do that here. As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.
