Therapies

At Supportive Steps, we offer a range of client-centred therapies that support emotional well-being, growth, and healing in a safe and compassionate environment. We work with children, youth, and adults to help build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.

Animal Assisted Therapy

Using interaction and play, animal assisted therapy and animal assisted play therapy® (AAPT®) help reduce anxiety, stress, and feelings of isolation while promoting a sense of safety in a calm, supportive therapy space.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories that remain stored in the nervous system, reducing emotional distress and supporting long-term healing.

Play Therapy

Children experience emotions as deeply as adults. Play therapy helps them express feelings and experiences safely when words are not yet available.

Ego States Therapy

We are all made of different parts that make the whole of who we are. Ego state therapy explores all these different parts of the personality/inner self in order to aid in the healing process from inner conflict.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT supports individuals in identifying negative thought patterns and developing practical tools to respond to challenges in healthier ways.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT helps individuals manage intense emotions, build emotional balance, and develop coping skills for patterns that feel difficult to control.

Clinical Hypnosis

Clinical hypnosis helps teens and adults explore their subconscious mind in order to reduce symptoms for a variety of mental health issues within a state of deep relaxation in a secure therapeutic environment.

Music Therapy

Music therapy uses sound, rhythm, and emotional connection to support expression, regulation, and healing within a structured therapeutic space.

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback targets how the brain responds to stress, helping regulate nervous system activity and reduce physical symptoms linked to emotional overload.

Sandtray Therapy

Sandtray therapy allows individuals to express complex emotions and experiences through symbolic play when words alone are not enough.

Safe and Sound Protocol

Safe and Sound Protocol is a listening therapy that supports regulation, safety, emotional resilience, and social connection for all ages.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a holistic practice that supports awareness, grounding, and presence by helping individuals reconnect with body and mind.
