EMOTIONS ARE LIKE WAVES…LET’S RIDE THEM TOGETHER.

mental health therapy support for children, teens, adults, couples and families.

in-person in Markham and Stouffville and virtually throughout Ontario.

"Riding the wave" in therapy is a metaphor for managing emotions by accepting them as temporary and fluctuating experiences, much like waves in the ocean. It encourages individuals to be mindful and present, using coping strategies to navigate through emotional highs and lows without being overwhelmed. By embracing this approach, individuals can develop resilience, gain insight into their emotional patterns, and foster a sense of control, understanding that emotions, no matter how intense, will eventually pass.
