Treatment

Specializing in Trauma Treatment, Depression and Couples Therapy

Anxiety

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger and can last a long time.

Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.

More than just a bout of the blues, depression isn't a weakness and you can't simply "snap out" of it. Depression may require long-term treatment. But don't get discouraged. Most people with depression feel better with medication, psychotherapy or both.

Relationships

We were created as relational beings. We are defined in many ways by our relationships. When the most basic construct proves complex, it causes undue stress. Family, work, neighbors, significant others are all impacted by our difficulty to manage relationships in a functional manner. Therapy helps to navigate and define healthy boundaries and expectations.

Couples Therapy

If you are a part of a couple in distress, you may feel like there is no way out of the difficulty of your relationship. Agape seeks to partner with the couple to restore the foundational elements that fostered the initial union.

Trauma

Whether it involves a single event experience or an ongoing situation such as physical, emotional, and psychological abuse; exposure to trauma can be debilitating leading to feelings of guilt, anger, powerlessness, self-abuse, anger, anxiety, and a whole host of other manifestations. Mrs. Howell is trained and certified in EMDR therapy.

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is literally the care of soul. At Agape Wellness Centre pastoral care services are best described as helping to shepherd your soul’s discovery process. Our task is to come along side and help to lead, guide, feed, comfort, and protect as you navigate life. We strive together to discover God working in your life in all of life’s circumstances.

Integrated Modalities

At Agape Wellness Centre, we take a holistic approach to mental health by incorporating contemplative practices like yoga, meditation, and sound healing into psychotherapy. By combining these ancient techniques with traditional therapeutic methods, we acknowledge the interdependence of the mind, body, and spirit.

Yoga

Yoga and therapy can be a powerful combination for improving both physical and mental health. By integrating yoga into therapy sessions, individuals can learn to connect with their bodies and emotions in a deeper way, leading to greater self-awareness and overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or physical pain, yoga and therapy can provide a holistic approach to healing and growth.

Sound Healing

Sound healing is a intervention that uses sound waves to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. It involves the use of various instruments, such as singing bowls, chimes, and ocean drums, to create vibrations that resonate with the body and mind. Sound healing has been used for centuries in various cultures and is gaining popularity as a complementary therapy in modern medicine.

Meditation

Meditation combined with therapy can be a powerful tool for improving mental health and overall well-being. By incorporating mindfulness practices into therapy sessions, individuals can learn to better manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. Whether you're new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, integrating it into your therapy can help you achieve greater self-awareness and inner peace.
