AND HERE'S HOW WE WORK

At Decipher Counselling, we offer compassionate, anti-oppressive support through an intersectional lens rooted in Narrative Therapy. We’re here to honour the experiences that have shaped your life and team up with you to explore where you want to go from here.

Our services focus on helping folks build essential coping tools to navigate overwhelming experiences, honour hardship and grief, and enhance emotional literacy. We integrate creative techniques to address the impact of systemic oppression, discrimination, and inequality on mental health, empowering you to find healing and resilience.

 
 
 
 

 There are so many different types of therapy and we get it, it can be confusing. Especially with all those acronyms. See what we offer below:

Narrative Therapy

 A non-pathologizing, social justice-oriented approach. This includes how discrimination, oppression, inequality and other societal-level forces/systems contribute to mental health at the individual level. We will be supporting and working with you to question and deconstruct the narratives of the problems you have and move towards embracing and enriching the preferred stories of where you want to be.

Art Therapy

Art therapy goes beyond words, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions through creativity. It helps build self-awareness, express emotions, boost confidence, and manage stress. As you tap into your creativity, your artwork can reveal personal insights tied to your life experiences. Our art therapists on the team blend both traditional talk therapy and art therapy as an option if you are open to it!

Anti-Oppressive Therapy

We practice cultural humility and awareness to reflect on power, oppression, and identity when working with individuals. No one is free until we are all free.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy where bilateral stimulation (of eye movements or tapping movements) can help you process a disturbing incident - reducing the vividness and emotion associated with the traumatic incidents. 

Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT™️)

EDIT is a person-centered approach that integrates practical, compassion, and mindfulness exercises, Health At Every Size principles, and collaborative efforts to find ways to advocate and take up space. This approach is especially important in a time when diet culture and 'wellness culture' often go unchallenged for their collective impact on us.

Intersectional Trauma-Informed Therapy

Healing is about reconnection to our identity and community. We recognize that our experiences of trauma are socialized, that they are shaped by our unique identities and the social contexts. We strive to work with values aligned with racial and gender justice, disability justice, fat liberation and solidarity.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

A practical, emotion-focused, and highly effective approach based on 4 decades of research as an aid for couples therapy. This approach can help couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams and with practical interventions.

Intergenerational Healing

It didn’t start with you. We recognize that our wellbeing doesn’t just stem from personal context. Wounds can come from historical, cultural, and persistent trauma. We help folks access ancestral wisdom to process and heal from intergenerational wounds.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic experiencing is a body-centered approach to treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rather than focusing only on thoughts or emotions somatic experiencing support us to come back into our bodies: incorporating movement, mindfulness, breath work, felt sense and embodied inquiry.
