What Are the Benefits of Single Session Therapy?
Flexible and Accessible: Sometimes, you need help right away. Single session therapy provides you with timely support to address the particular challenge you are experiencing. Single session therapy is available seven days a week, with in-person and virtual options.
Focused Approach: Single session therapy is designed to target specific issues or goals you want to address. Whether you are experiencing stress, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth, our therapists will offer practical strategies to support you. This targeted approach is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of your next steps and the insights you need to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Enhanced Self-Awareness: In a single session, you can gain valuable insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This heightened self-awareness can help you understand the root causes of the challenge you’re experiencing and how to make informed decisions about your next steps.
Increased Motivation: A single session can help reignite your motivation to address personal challenges and take proactive steps toward resolution. The clarity and direction provided can boost your confidence and drive to make positive changes.
Access to Resources: Our therapists have a wealth of knowledge about available resources and supports throughout Fort McMurray and Alberta. During your session, your therapist will share the resources that may benefit you.

Personal Crisis: If you’re experiencing a personal crisis - such as a sudden life event, acute stress, or heightened emotional upheaval - a single session can provide immediate support and practical strategies to help you manage the situation effectively.
Urgent Decisions: When you need to make a significant decision and are feeling overwhelmed, a single session can offer clarity and help you weigh your options thoughtfully.

Single Issues: If you’re dealing with a short-term concern - such as a work-related problem, a minor relationship issue, or temporary stress - a single session session can help you explore the issue and develop a workable action plan.
