EMDR Therapy in Victoria, BC & Online in French & English
Flexibility in how you receive therapeutic support is important, and the traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Traditional talk therapy is a long-term treatment aimed at helping you work through life challenges over time. But two challenges may come up:
1) Your schedule is demanding and unpredictable, making a weekly therapy appointment overwhelming.
2) You are looking for effective help quickly. The idea of spending months in talk therapy may be making it impossible to feel better.
