Effective strategies to utilise in the return to activities of daily life
Anxiety/Depression/PTSD Treatment
Creative Therapy Occupational Therapists consider the unique circumstances of the individuals we work with and create comprehensive rehabilitation plans collaboratively. Our assessments and treatment plans are designed for in-person or telehealth platform formats in order to meet clients in the setting of their choice. Our goal is not only to treat symptoms, but to help individuals strengthen their resilience and create a toolbox of effective mental health strategies.
Activation Programming
Creative Therapy takes an active approach to improving home, work and community participation. We also liaise with other health care practitioners such as psychologists, counsellors and Kinesiologists to provide a holistic approach to addressing mental health symptoms. We work together with individuals to build regular and structured activities into a routine that supports reintegration into their work, home and community responsibilities.
Exposure Therapy
Our Occupational Therapists use Exposure Therapy to assist individuals recovering from traumatic experiences; this stepwise approach is informed by the extensive training our Occupational Therapists have received in the field of Exposure Therapy and involves teaching individuals the skills needed to manage distressing situations and overcome barriers to participation in everyday life.
