Life can be a lot. Maybe you feel like your emotions are running the show, or maybe you’re so focused on keeping everything together that joy feels like an afterthought. Either way, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. At Open Concepts Therapy, we’re here to support you with a thoughtful, personalized approach that meets you where you are. We work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Using Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO DBT), and other therapeutic models, we help you figure out what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward in a way that feels meaningful. No cookie-cutter solutions, just real conversations and practical strategies.
At Open Concepts Therapy, we focus on what you need most. If your emotions feel like they’re running wild, we draw on DBT to help you find stability and build skills for managing life’s ups and downs. If you’re more on the perfectionist side—always in control but struggling to let go—RO DBT helps open the door to connection, flexibility, and maybe even a little fun. (Yes, fun. We said it.). We’ll work with you to figure out what’s most important and how we can support you in creating the changes you’re looking for. And if you’re feeling unsure about what you need? That’s okay, too. We’ll figure it out together. We provide individual sessions as well as skills classes.
We know reaching out for support can feel intimidating, so we do everything we can to make it easier. At Open Concepts Therapy, we bring warmth, compassion, and a little lightness to serious work because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. Curious about whether we might be a good fit for you? Visit www.openconceptstherapy.ca to learn more, or reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. We are here to support you.
