I firmly believe that everyone gets the most benefit from face to face, relationship-based psychotherapy, and encourage face to face support if possible.  I am fully vaccinated for yours and my safety, and request that clients also be vaccinated according to provincial health regulations.However, sometimes there are limitations to accessing face to face sessions, especially during a pandemic, and potential clients have the option to choose secure, virtual sessions through TherapyOwl.  

Psychotherapy is a registered health profession (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) and is therefore often covered by private health insurance.  There are often other sources of funding as well - please contact me for more information.  

Email me (caseyburgess@msn.com), call or message me (705)255-5665, or click HERE to directly book a session. If you are not yet a client, you can book a free initial visit (face to face or video).

Support for Children with Developmental Needs and Their Families
DIRFloortime;  Developmental, Individualized, Relationship-Based play therapy originally designed for children with autism, but a wonderful play-based approach to support children of all developmental levels in self-regulation, Functional Emotional Developmental Competencies (FEDCs), parent-child relationships and self-regulation, critical to lifelong development, learning, and well-being.  DIRFloortime is the foundation of the play-based therapy I do with children and families. It is parent-focused, developmental, and individualized, so it can be as casual or intensive a program as you like, depending on the needs of your family. See this site for more information about what it is, how you can support your child, and how you can get started. 

Psychotherapy / Counselling for Post-Secondary Students
As a post-secondary instructor, I am uniquely positioned to counsel post-secondary students in finding balance in their lives to support their academic success, social engagement, and their physical and emotional well-being. Students are encouraged to first contact their institution to access any available services provided to them at no cost. I am available to enhance these services, or to provide services above and beyond the scope of what is available. 

HeartMath
HeartMath is an approach based on decades of scientific research on the psychophysiology of stress, emotions, and the interactions between the heart and brain that gives biofeedback on the variations between heartbeats (heart rate variability, or HRV), a measure of our stress response system and how we are self-regulating, allowing us to use a variety of reflective techniques that impact our stress response system and thus our well-being and see immediate results of some of these techniques on our nervous systems. 

Coming Soon
The Safe and Sound Protocol, another wonderful tool based on HRV for improving vagal tone (our stress response system) and enhancing social engagement which involves specific techniques for increasing the nervous system's ability to feel safe and calm.
