How We Work Together
We use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), the gold standard for helping people regulate emotions and communicate effectively.
Why I Started Kin Well Therapy
Research clearly shows that our mental health is positively impacted by the quality of our relationships (and vice versa), yet there are still only very limited services available for parents, couples and families.
I started Kin Well Therapy to provide more of these much-needed services. Equally important though, is the quality of the services. At Kin Well Therapy, our therapists are intensively trained, with specialized knowledge in working with couple and family relationships. Our team is also supported by of one of the world’s leading researchers in couples and family therapy, Dr. Alan Fruzzetti, Ph.D.
