May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to reflect on the importance of mental well-being and to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health. At Centre Wellness, we recognize that mental health is a vital component of overall health, and we are committed to providing therapy services in Kingston that support individuals on their journey toward wellness.
Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing how we think, feel, and act. Learning about mental health can decrease stigma and foster a more accepting and supportive environment for those facing mental health challenges (Shim et al., 2022).
Therapy is not solely for individuals in crisis; it is a valuable resource for anyone seeking personal growth, self-discovery, and improved coping strategies. Engaging in therapy can enhance relationships, increase self-awareness, and promote resilience. At Centre Wellness, we offer therapy services in Kingston that support clients in achieving their personal goals and improving their overall well-being.
At Centre Wellness, we understand that seeking support can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating unique personal challenges. That’s why we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment through our core values of client-centred care, unwavering compassion, and professionalism. We provide care tailored to the needs of specialized populations, including Military Personnel and Veterans, Older Adults, Law Enforcement, Healthcare Professionals, Indigenous Persons, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. These groups may face unique barriers when accessing mental health care, and we strive to address these with sensitivity and respect.
To help create a smooth process in seeking support and finding the right therapeutic fit, we offer a thoughtful matching process that begins with our online matching form—designed to understand your goals, preferences, and needs. Clients can also explore our individual therapist pages, where we share each clinician’s therapeutic style, areas of focus, and experience, helping you make an informed choice about your care. In addition, our dedicated administrative staff are available to guide you through the process and ensure that you are connected with the therapist who best aligns with your needs and values. At Centre Wellness, your comfort and connection with your therapist are our priority.
Mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can manifest physically, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, pain, and more. Conversely, physical health conditions can impact mental well-being.
Our therapists at Centre Wellness can help clients understand the connection between their mental and physical health. Through personalized goal-setting and evidence-based interventions, we support clients in developing strategies to improve both their mental and physical well-being.
