What types of Therapy do we offer?
We offer a variety of different therapeutic styles to give our clients the flexibility to find the right approach to meet their goals.
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy is personal therapeutic approach that provides a safe and confidential space for your one-on-one counseling sessions in order to support you in meeting your goal.
Family Therapy
Family Therapy helps families make changes in communication in order to connect and develop skills to support one another. We help parents who are struggling to manage difficult behaviors through behavioral interventions, intervention plans, and coaching.
Some examples of types of services we offer
Problematic Video Gaming
Problematic Video Gaming
Are you or a loved one affected by problematic video gaming? Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) placed “gaming disorder” in their 11th International Classification of Diseases (ICD). They have cited the following as symptoms:
- Impaired control over gaming (frequency, intensity, duration)
- Increased priority is given to gaming
- continuation or escalation of gaming despite negative consequences
If you are experiencing similar symptoms, you are not alone. One study suggests that 1 in 10 adolescents in the Ontario school system from grades 7 to 12 experience problematic gaming. At Strong Roots Therapeutic Solutions, we want to help those suffering from problematic video gaming and support people to find balance, rediscover their own avatar (themselves), and develop skills to cope with the “real world”.
WPATH Assessment
WPATH Assessment
Whether you wish to explore gender confusion or are ready to have your assessment completed, we are here to help and support you. We understand this can be a challenging time for some and an exciting time for others. Whatever you are feeling, we ensure respect and non-judgment in a safe environment that allows you to feel supported and have your questions addressed.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care are internationally recognized guidelines designed to promote the health and well-being of transgender and gender diverse individuals. These standards provide evidence-based recommendations for healthcare providers to deliver respectful, affirming, and effective care across various medical, psychological, and social dimensions.
Behavioral Interventions
Behavioral Interventions
Strong Roots provides two types of behavioural approaches.
Behavioural Intervention works one-on-one with a child or youth to implement an individualized Behavioral Plan of Intervention to improve maladaptive coping and help families set boundaries. We are committed to providing a family-centred practice to foster independence, help build relationships, and increase community inclusion.

PTSD/Trauma
PTSD/Trauma
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD.
Getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reducing symptoms and improving function.
Personality Disorders
Personality Disorders
Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people. An individual’s personality is influenced by experiences, environment (surroundings, life situations) and inherited characteristics. A person’s personality typically stays the same over time. A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.1
There are 10 specific types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are long-term patterns of behavior and inner experiences that differs significantly from what is expected. The pattern of experience and behavior begins by late adolescence or early adulthood and causes distress or problems in functioning. Without treatment, personality disorders can be long-lasting. Personality disorders affect at least two of these areas:
Relationship Therapy
Relationship Therapy
Using an evidence-based approach, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Methods are couples therapy that helps you strengthen your relationship without feeling forced or inauthentic. Our trained clinician creates safety through empathetic responsiveness, guiding partners into caring emotional responses that foster secure bonding.
