Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre Blog, Collingwood, ON
Learn more about psychotherapy on our blog.
At Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre, we want you to feel at peace about your decision to come to our practice in Collingwood, Ontario. We started our blog to offer resources relating to how we view provide more information about healing. We have chosen the modalities of relational psychotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-informed therapies and yoga therapy because these modalities have helped us on our personal healing paths. We want to share our passion for these areas with you, as well as offer some insight into how we view trauma, personal development, the journey of parenting, developmental neurobiology and other thoughts we might have related to healing and growth. No and why, no matter where you are in life, engaging with these processes can help you move forward, reduce or overcome past trauma symptoms, and ignite personal growth and development.
