SERVICES

Digital Addiction Therapy

Digital addiction (technology addiction) is a therapy to help with excessive, compulsive, or out-of-control use of various types of technologies. Digital addictions therapy includes social media addiction, video game/internet gaming disorder/addiction, online shopping addiction, and problematic use of online pornography. This therapy can be for individuals experiencing digital addiction or for parents of children showing signs of digital addiction. Sentinel Psychotherapy offers consultations for parents of digital addicts or those who are concerned for their child’s technology use to receive advice on how to navigate and parent in a digital world. 

SLEEP THERAPY

What would you be willing to do to get a good night's sleep? Sleep therapy uses CBT-I (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - Insomnia) to help you improve your sleeping habits. It involves breaking down a client's sleeping routine to find what stops them from getting the rest they deserve. 

TEACHER-SUPPORT PSYCHOTHERAPY

Teacher-support psychotherapy is a low-cost therapy designed to provide long-term support to educators. It's intended for individuals in the educational field to receive ongoing skilled support as they navigate the education system. The support is based on the intention to give educators third-party confidential support in a field where they may not get as much as they wish. 

EDUCATIONAL THERAPY & ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Education therapy teaches clients to develop routines and habits that help them learn in school, online, and in person. It addresses learning difficulties and helps clients find strategies to achieve their goals. This service examines different learning methods to find a path to education that works with a client's learning style. 

ANXIETY & DEPRESION SUPPORT

Anxiety and depression is an ongoing struggle we all struggle with. This therapy is about learning how to take control of your anxiety and make it work for you. Through behaviour patterns, reactions, and pre-planning strategies, we find ways to tailor everyday life to facilitate a client's desired response to anxiety and depression.

BURNOUT

Burnout is a common occurrence and, if not addressed on time, can lead to all kinds of mental and physical health problems. This service establishes barriers to stopping the emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that leads to burnout, working to identify the causes of the excessive and prolonged stress leading to burnout. This service is for those experiencing exhaustion, isolation, escape fantasies, irritability, frequent illness, feeling drained, inability to cope, loss of sleep, experiencing sadness, irritability, and lack of care for anything.
