Available Online Across Canada & In Person in Powell River / qathet
Looking for evidence-based CBT that also harnesses the power of mindfulness? Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) offers research-backed tools for treatment and resilience for those living with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and burnout. We provide secure virtual MBCT/CBT sessions Canada-wide, as well as in-person services in Powell River / qathet, BC.
What Is MBCT?
MBCT blends mindfulness meditation with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). You’ll learn to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, respond to emotional triggers with awareness, and build self-compassion. This clinically tested approach is widely used to support mental and physical well-being and prevent relapse in depression.
Conditions MBCT / CBT Can Support
- Clinical depression (including relapse prevention)
- Anxiety disorders (GAD, panic, social anxiety)
- Bipolar disorder (depressive episodes)
- Chronic stress & burnout
- Autoimmune conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, IBS)
- Chronic pain
- ADHD
- Insomnia & sleep challenges
- Emotional dysregulation
MBCT supports not just symptom relief but long-term resilience and emotional balance.
