A Compassionate Approach to Addressing Mental
Health Concerns
Sometimes, you just need someone who can listen–and it’s even better if that person is a trained healthcare professional who can help you better understand what you’re going through. At Tillsonburg Physiotherapy, our psychotherapy services demonstrate our commitment to improving the health of our patients–mind, body, and soul.
Psychotherapy is a talk-based approach to addressing mental health issues. Alongside medication, it’s one of the most common forms of mental health treatment. These two methods are often used together.
Living a healthy life is about more than just physical health. It’s crucial that you address your mental health as well–and our psychotherapists can help do exactly that.

What To Expect from a Psychotherapy Session
The foundation of psychotherapy is talking. During a session, you will talk one-on-one with your psychotherapists about your concerns, and they’ll help navigate you through the process.
That said, psychotherapy isn’t just talking. It’s a systematic approach that asks you to reflect and analyze your thought patterns and behavior. We’ll work closely with you to find the specific approaches that suit your needs. Here are just a few of the techniques we might utilize:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach will teach you to identify unhelpful ways of thinking so you can question those thoughts and better understand how they impact your life and behavior.
- Exposure Therapy: This is a type of CBT that asks you to “expose” yourself to situations, items, or ideas that cause stress and anxiety so that, over time, the associated fear will decrease.
- Stress Management Strategies: We’ll help you develop personalized approaches for dealing with stress and anxiety.
- Mindfulness Techniques: We’ll teach you breathing and relaxation exercises to help you steady yourself in the moment.
We also offer interpersonal therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing therapy, emotionally focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye moment desensitization reprocessing, trauma-focused, suicide intervention, and crisis intervention.
We offer treatment services in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi at our East Hamilton and Hamilton Mountain locations.
While physical health is essential, it’s equally important that you not ignore your mental health, too. Request an appointment at Tillsonburg Physiotherapy to start your journey today.
