Our Services
Online, evidence-based groups to build skills and find connection
Our therapy groups run online and are designed to be accessible across Nova Scotia. Each program is structured, skill-focused and led by Registered Psychologists or Clinical Social Workers with advanced training in DBT and trauma-informed care.
Book an AppointmentStructured, evidence-based programs help you build tools that last well beyond the group itself. Several of our offerings are designed specifically for Veterans and their families; others are open to the wider community.

03.
Builds psychological flexibility for adjustment, retirement and the 'next chapter' — defining values and committing to action that aligns with them. Especially helpful for the military-to-civilian transition. 10 weeks plus 2 monthly follow-ups · Tuesdays 12:00–2:00 pm.
