We help adolescents, adults and couples improve their mental health and well-being through in-person care in Waterloo and virtual therapy anywhere in Ontario.
The Waterloo CBT clinic offers evidence-based psychological services for a wide range of mental health concerns. We specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is considered the gold-standard approach in mental health care. CBT focuses on the ways our thoughts and behaviours contribute to difficult emotions and mental health symptoms, and teaches practical strategies to disrupt problematic patterns and respond to situations and triggers more effectively. CBT has been extensively researched and shown to help people manage and overcome many psychological concerns including anxiety, depression, stress and OCD. We know that starting therapy can feel like a big step. That’s why we focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where you will work collaboratively with your therapist to address your concerns.

Have you ever caught yourself in a tornado of negative self talk? Cognitive distortions, also known as unhelpful thinking patterns, are negatively biased errors in our thoughts. These thinking patterns can become habitual, leading to negative emotional states, which further reinforce negative thoughts (Rnic et al., 2016). The outcome? A vicious cycle of negativity.
With the school year beginning and activities coming back into full swing, one habit tends to loom undetected until it becomes a nuisance: procrastination. Whether it’s cramming the night before an exam, submitting a paper at exactly 11:59, pushing errands or postponing payments until the very last minute, we have all procrastinated at some point in our lives.
