Consultation
At Magnolia Health and Wellness, we recognize the importance of finding the perfect therapist to support your journey toward well-being. With a diverse team of skilled and experienced clinicians, the decision can sometimes be daunting. To simplify the process and ensure you're paired with the most suitable therapist, we offer complimentary 15-minute consultations with all our therapists.
During these consultations, you have the opportunity to engage with any of our therapists to discuss your unique needs, concerns, and goals. This dialogue helps guide you toward a clinician who specializes in the specific areas you're seeking support for, and it provides insights into each therapist's therapeutic approach.
If you already know which therapist you'd like to work with, feel free to schedule an appointment directly with them. Our responsive clinicians will work with you to find a convenient time that aligns with your schedule. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you're unsure which therapist is the best fit or if scheduling poses a challenge, we encourage you to consider booking an intake appointment.

Family Counselling
Family counselling, or family therapy, is a specialized form of psychotherapy focused on improving communication and resolving conflicts within a family. Trained therapists address issues like communication breakdowns and behavioural problems using techniques such as active listening and problem-solving. The goal is to navigate challenges, enhance understanding, and create a supportive environment, making it beneficial for situations such as parent-child conflicts. The collaborative and systemic nature of family therapy recognizes the interconnected well-being of individuals within the family, promoting understanding, harmony, and resilience.
Couples Counselling
Couples counselling, also known as couples therapy or relationship counselling, is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on helping couples overcome challenges, improve communication, and strengthen their relationship. It provides a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their concerns, understand their dynamics, and work towards building a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.
In couples counselling, a trained therapist works collaboratively with the couple to identify and address the issues that are impacting their relationship. These issues can range from communication problems and conflict resolution difficulties to intimacy issues, trust issues, or major life transitions. The therapist provides guidance, facilitates productive dialogue, and offers effective tools and techniques to promote positive change and growth within the relationship.
The primary goals of couples counselling include enhancing communication and problem-solving skills, fostering understanding and empathy between partners, and rebuilding trust and intimacy. Through a combination of individual reflection, joint discussions, and practical exercises, couples gain insight into their relationship patterns, learn healthier ways of relating to each other, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles.
Couples counselling is not solely focused on resolving conflicts or saving relationships in crisis. It can also be beneficial for couples who want to strengthen their bond, enhance their emotional connection, and proactively work on maintaining a healthy relationship. By addressing underlying issues, improving communication, and developing effective coping mechanisms, couples can cultivate greater satisfaction, resilience, and harmony in their partnership.
Seeking couples counselling demonstrates a commitment to investing in the relationship and a willingness to grow both individually and as a couple. It provides a non-judgmental and impartial environment where couples can openly express their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their patterns and dynamics, and develop strategies to create a more fulfilling and resilient relationship.
Overall, couples counselling offers a valuable opportunity for couples to deepen their understanding of each other, heal wounds, and build a stronger foundation for a loving and harmonious partnership. It empowers couples to navigate challenges, enhance their connection, and create a mutually satisfying and fulfilling relationship.
Mediation
Mediation is a collaborative and structured process that offers a constructive way for adults and individuals in conflict to resolve their differences and reach mutually acceptable agreements. It provides a safe and neutral space facilitated by a trained mediator, who acts as a neutral third party to guide the participants through the resolution process.
In mediation, the mediator promotes effective communication and encourages each party to express their perspectives, concerns, and interests openly. The mediator facilitates a respectful and inclusive dialogue, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to be heard and understood. This process helps to foster empathy and promotes a deeper understanding of each party's underlying needs and motivations.
Through mediation, individuals in conflict have the opportunity to explore potential solutions and generate creative options that may not have been previously considered. The mediator assists in identifying common ground and areas of agreement, helping the participants work towards finding mutually beneficial resolutions.
One of the key advantages of mediation is its focus on empowerment and self-determination. Rather than imposing decisions on the parties involved, mediation encourages them to actively participate in shaping the outcome. By fostering open and respectful communication, mediation allows individuals to maintain control over the decision-making process and find solutions that best meet their unique circumstances.
Mediation can be applied to a wide range of conflicts, including disputes in the workplace, family conflicts, community disagreements, or interpersonal disputes. It offers a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to traditional litigation or adversarial approaches, allowing individuals to reach resolutions in a more cooperative and collaborative manner.
Ultimately, the goal of mediation is to facilitate a durable and mutually satisfactory resolution that benefits all parties involved. By fostering understanding, exploring possibilities, and promoting effective communication, mediation supports individuals in finding common ground, repairing relationships, and moving forward with a sense of empowerment and mutual respect.
Trauma Counselling
Trauma counselling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals heal from the emotional and psychological impact of traumatic experiences. Traumatic events can include situations such as physical or sexual abuse, accidents, natural disasters, violence, war, or the sudden loss of a loved one.
Trauma counselling aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to process their traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control and well-being. The primary goals of trauma counselling are to help individuals:
Understand and validate their emotional responses to the trauma: Traumatic events can elicit a range of emotions, including fear, anger, sadness, guilt, or shame. Trauma counselling helps individuals recognize and validate these emotions as normal reactions to abnormal events.
Develop coping strategies: Trauma can disrupt an individual's ability to cope with stress and navigate daily life. Trauma counselling equips individuals with effective coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, and other distressing symptoms associated with trauma.
Process and integrate the traumatic experience: Trauma counselling provides a safe space for individuals to explore and make sense of their traumatic memories. Through various therapeutic techniques, such as talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), or somatic experiencing, individuals can gradually process and integrate their traumatic experiences, reducing their impact on daily life.
Address negative beliefs and self-perceptions: Trauma can often lead to negative beliefs about oneself, others, and the world. Trauma counselling helps individuals challenge and reframe these negative beliefs, fostering a more positive and adaptive worldview.
Build resilience and enhance self-care: Trauma counselling emphasizes the importance of self-care and developing resilience. Counsellors help individuals identify and engage in activities that promote their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, empowering them to better cope with future challenges.
Trauma counsellors have specialized training and experience in trauma-focused therapy. They create a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their trauma-related experiences, process their emotions, and work towards healing and recovery.
It's important to note that trauma counselling is a highly individualized process, tailored to each person's unique needs and circumstances. The duration and specific therapeutic approaches used may vary depending on the severity of the trauma and the individual's goals.

Coaching for Administration/Leadership
Coaching and counselling are two distinct approaches that can be used to support school administrators, and there are some important differences between the two.
Coaching involves working with an administrator to help them achieve specific goals related to their job performance or career advancement. The coach may use a variety of techniques to help the administrator identify areas for improvement, set goals, and develop strategies to achieve those goals. The coach may also provide feedback and support to help the administrator stay on track and overcome obstacles.
Counselling, on the other hand, is typically focused on helping an administrator work through personal or emotional issues that may be affecting their job performance or well-being. A counsellor may help the administrator identify and address issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns. Counselling may also involve helping the administrator develop coping strategies and self-care practices to manage these issues.
In summary, coaching is focused on helping administrators improve their job performance and achieve career goals, while counselling is focused on helping administrators address personal and emotional issues that may be impacting their well-being and job performance.
Coaching is offered by our Registered Clinical Counsellors and covered by Blue Cross.
