Our Services

At PsyVitalitï, we offer two main types of services, therapy and coaching. Therapy is more geared towards addressing emotional and psychological challenges and getting your life back on track, while coaching is more about enhancing your abilities and achieving the next level of your personal and/or professional goals. The choice between the two depends on your individual needs and the specific areas you wish to work on in your life.

Who We Work With

Therapy is a resource that knows no boundaries. It's a dynamic and adaptable tool that can benefit individuals of all ages and backgrounds. At any stage of life, therapy offers a safe and nurturing environment to explore emotions, cope with life's challenges, and foster personal growth.

Our Approach To Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Our team of therapists primarily employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as their therapeutic approach. CBT stands out as a highly effective and scientifically endorsed method in the field of psychotherapy. Our therapists choose to use CBT as it has been proven to aid individuals on their journey toward enhanced well-being.

Why choose a Master’s Candidate?

In addition to the discounted rate, opting for a Master's candidate as your therapist offers a unique and advantageous experience. Despite not being fully licensed, they receive close supervision from experienced therapists and constantly update their skills with the latest evidence-based methods. Their enthusiasm, combined with essential qualities like compassion and self-awareness, often makes them more effective than experienced professionals who don’t have those qualities. Studies confirm their effectiveness, ensuring similar therapeutic outcomes. Plus, you get the benefit of their expertise at a lower cost, making therapy more affordable without compromising quality.

Are the services covered by insurance?

A Master’s Candidate's services are often covered by insurance, given that their receipts are co-signed by a fully licensed supervisor. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific plan details.
