Dalgity Counselling & Psychotherapy aspires to help you through life’s challenges and help you move towards your goals by use of the regulated scope of psychotherapy.
We use an integrative approach which consists mainly of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused, and Positive Psychology dependent on the client’s individual needs.
To meet a wide range of needs, our practice also includes a Registered Occupational Therapist (OT), who is qualified to perform the act of psychotherapy, as per standards set by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
Our OT is able to offer psychotherapy, occupational therapy and/or a combination of both.
Christine Dalgity, our founder, set out after a long career in mental health and behaviour in an educational setting to fulfil a dream she has had since the age of 12. That dream involved using her compassion, understanding, and genuine positive regard for everyone to reach people of all ages, in a way that empowers, teaches, and builds on what is truly inside them.
She wanted to reach people where they are at, in a casual, laid-back environment and have people feel like they are talking to a friend, with of course, professional boundaries.
Starting on her own, Christine’s practice quickly grew to seven therapists and two office staff, a Client Care Coordinator and a Marketing / Social Media Director.
Christine’s vision remains and it’s paramount when hiring or mentoring new therapists that they fit within these foundations.
We are proud of our student mentoring and internship program, mentoring several masters-level students in their journey to professional practice. Under Christine’s effective and considerate mentoring, we offer a diverse team approach to aid a student from differing perspectives. We now have 2 psychotherapists qualified to offer clinical supervision.
The team is collaborative and takes pride in a variety of specializations to offer our clients a full holistic approach to self-care and mental wellness.
A big part of mental wellness is physical wellness and we are so lucky that within the Dalgity Wellness Centre is Dalgity Resilience, which offers private one-to-one or small group personal training and fitness classes. You can learn more on the Dalgity Resilience website.
We are working on a collaborative model which will include an option to incorporate the physical health aspect and could be included under mental health insurance.
