Building on Strength

All individuals have a range of strengths and abilities helping them face the challenges of work, school and day to day life. When dealing with mental health difficulties and illness, these strengths and abilities can be doubted, forgotten or simply insufficient to address all of the challenges and demands that one faces.

I offer clients an approach that is founded on the very best empirically based treatments, such as cognitive behaviour therapy or interpersonal therapy, while focusing on those strengths and abilities that are unique to every individual. I have over 15 years of experience providing treatment and counseling to individuals between the ages of 8 and 75 experiencing a range of self-esteem, mood, interpersonal, academic, and work related difficulties.

If you require consultation or are considering treatment, I would be happy to discuss your interest in counseling or treatment. I can be reached by phone (613 293 1570), unless I am teaching or meeting with others. You can always send me an email, to which I will respond within one working day.

I currently have 1-2 places available for treatment or consultation.

Sincerely
Darcy Santor

Optimizing outcomes:

I provide clients with a variety of tools and resources to help them in reaching their goals, such as simple exercises (either with pencil and paper, or if preferred on-line). One exercise that can be beneficial is to record one accomplishment you made during that day. This takes 5 to 10 minutes but when done daily can help individuals to refocus their thinking, which typically can become overly harsh and critical.
