Counseling and Psychotherapy
The decision to make your wellbeing matter more brought you here, and here is a good place to start. Counseling and psychotherapy help you take a deeper look at your self and what factors affect your mental health and wellbeing. With our licensed clinicians, Magis provides you with culturally relevant and trauma-informed approaches, with you at the center.
WHAT AGES DO WE SERVE?
All ages (by evaluation)
“It takes courage… to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.”
Marianne Williamson
WHAT DO WE DO?
Mental health clinicians (Psychotherapists and psychologists) help individuals cope with emotional challenges with a range of issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, suicidality, trauma, stress, and other mood and personality disorders.
We also support individuals through a process of working through psychosocial concerns such as building self-esteem and better relationships, growing in self-awareness and learning the basics of self-care for overall wellbeing.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
Medium to long-term therapy through culturally-relevant, client-appropriate and safe therapeutic approaches, in collaboration with psychiatrists for pharmacotherapy where applicable.
A range of approaches are employed by the team, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and the expressive arts therapies (art, dance and music). When the expressive arts is used in the psychotherapist’s process, an experience is facilitated to encourage creative expression and creative work is explored in a safe, responsible manner.

All our psychotherapists and psychologists also offer counseling as a short-term intervention that can help individuals deal with specific personal issues, challenges in daily living, or life transitions. Grounded upon humanistic traditions, psychological techniques, and the expressive arts philosophy, counseling aims to support personal and interpersonal functioning across the lifespan.
