Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where to begin or what to expect from your first appointment.

To help make the process feel a little more familiar, we’ve created this short video that walks you through what your first in-person therapy session may look like.

During your first session, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, your concerns, and your goals. Many people aren’t sure where to start, and that’s okay. Your therapist will help guide the conversation, ask questions, and work with you to better understand your needs and what you’re hoping to achieve through therapy.

From the very beginning, we’re committed to making your experience comfortable, welcoming, and tailored to your needs.

If you’ve been considering therapy, we hope this video helps you feel more informed and confident about taking the next step.

Trace the box 📦🌱

Box breathing is a simple technique that helps regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and improve focus. 🌱🧠

For the best results, follow along for a few minutes and try to breathe slowly through your nose, keeping each inhale, hold, exhale, and hold equal in length.

Regular practice can improve your ability to regulate stress and return to a calmer physiological state.

Save this for when you need a reminder to slow down and breathe.🩵

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses play to help children express emotions, process difficult experiences, and build coping, communication, and problem-solving skills. It supports emotional expression in a natural way and helps strengthen resilience and overall well-being.
At YourTherapy Psychotherapy and Counselling, our therapists specialize in play therapy and are trained to create a safe, supportive space where children can explore their feelings through play-based methods tailored to their needs. We are also excited to be opening a new youth-focused clinic dedicated to expanding access to mental health support for children and adolescents in our community.
