At The Mindful Loft, our work focuses on relational trauma.
By relational trauma, we mean the hurt that happens in relationships that were supposed to feel safe, steady, honest, or caring.
Sometimes that hurt comes from betrayal in an adult relationship, like infidelity, secrecy, or broken trust. Sometimes it comes from childhood, like growing up in a critical or chaotic home, being raised by emotionally immature parents, or learning early that your needs were too much.
In both cases, the wound happened in relationship. The healing often happens through relationship too.
This may include:
Often, yes. Many people who carry childhood relational wounds were never neglected or abused in obvious ways. But they grew up feeling like their emotions were too much, their needs were inconvenient, or that love came with conditions.
Therapy is not about labelling your childhood as terrible. It is about understanding what you learned in those early relationships and how those lessons may still be running quietly in the background.
Both. The person who caused harm often carries their own relational wounds and patterns that brought them there. If you want to understand what happened, take real accountability, and do something different, there is a place for that work here.
Both. And in couples work, both people don’t need to arrive with the same goal. Some couples come in undecided about whether repair is even possible. That is a fine place to start.
Therapy sessions are usually scheduled on a weekly basis, but the frequency can be adjusted based on your preferences and needs
No. Many people reach out with only a few sentences:
That is enough to start. The first conversation is not about performing your story perfectly. It is about getting a sense of what you are carrying and whether one of our therapists may be the right fit.
If you are searching, that is enough. You do not need to be in crisis to deserve support.
In my work, I see a lot of people who waited years because they told themselves their situation was not serious enough. Almost all of them say they wish they had not waited. If something is weighing on you, that is a reason to reach out.
It is a brief conversation about what brings you to therapy, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether The Mindful Loft feels like a good fit. It is not a therapy session and there is no pressure to book afterward.
You start to tell your story, ask your questions and see what the process looks and feels like.
You do not have to figure that out alone. When you reach out, we look at what you are seeking support for, your availability, and whether you are looking for individual or couples therapy. We will match you and be honest about who is currently accepting new clients.
A safe, non-judgmental space to talk about what you are carrying. Your therapist will listen carefully, ask questions that help you go deeper, and work with you to understand patterns and figure out what you want to do differently. Sessions are collaborative. You set the pace.
Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients meet weekly, especially at the start. Frequency can be adjusted based on where you are and what you need.
Individual therapy sessions range from $140 to $160 per session.
Couples therapy sessions are $190 per session.
Psychotherapy services are not subject to HST.
Many extended health benefit plans cover psychotherapy in full or in part. We recommend checking your plan before your first session. Fees can also be discussed during your free consultation.
Sessions covered by most extended health benefit plans. Fees discussed in your free consult.
Fit matters. If something does not feel right, you are allowed to say so. Sometimes that conversation helps adjust the work. Sometimes it means another therapist may be a better match. You are not locked in because you started
The Mindful Loft is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. For mental health crisis support, you can call or text 9-8-8, available 24 hours a day across Canada.
A consultation gives you a chance to ask questions, share what you are looking for, and see whether one of our therapists may be a good fit. Book a free 20-minute consult
