Annapolis Valley Psychological Services Inc. (AVPS Inc.) offers a client-centered approach that reflects the importance of diversity, equality, and inclusivity, as well as the therapeutic relationship. Our practitioners are non-judgmental and accepting, and demonstrate unconditional positive regard and empathy for the clients so they can make positive changes in their lives. This approach asserts that the quality of this relationship is one of the primary determinants of the therapy outcome.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based collaborative approach in which the psychologist teaches clients effective and practical skills to help them improve their emotional, physiological, and behavioural states as they tackle various challenges in their daily lives. Since cognitive refers to one's cognition or thought processes, a primary theme in CBT is to identify and correct maladaptive thought patterns.
The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide you're not going to stay where you are.
