Moving together
What does Kairos mean? The word Kairos is of Greek origin meaning opportune and decisive moment for Change. This philosophy is at the heart of what we do. At Kairos we meet you where you are at, and collaboratively move in a positive direction.
At Kairos our specializations include:
Trauma
Trauma is not only how we experience catastrophic life events but also how we manage everyday adverse life events. The impact of a traumatic event(s) can have a lasting impact on stress levels and general quality of life. We frequently are not aware of how past traumatic events can affect our thinking, feeling and behaviours in our current relationships and overall functioning. Our team are certified trauma specialists and have years of experience dealing with complex traumas
Couples
Our work with couples include those who have histories, or are dealing with, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, extramarital affairs and domestic violence. Couples counseling involves a bridging process, where both partners are heard, understood and acknowledged. The therapeutic focus is to enhance communication, conflict resolution, and to work with issues that often gridlock us. Our marital and couple therapy acknowledges the strengths and challenges that each partner brings into the relationship. Some of these individual challenges may surface as substance or behavioral addictions, extramarital affairs and domestic violence.
Addictions
The definition of addiction has evolved from exclusively a disease viewpoint to also include addiction as coping strategies impacted by our neurobiology, familial, social, cultural and economic environments on an individual’s life. At Kairos Counseling, we strive to acknowledge and work with these multifaceted dynamics in a holistic and respectful manner.
Grief and Loss
Grief can be a very immersive process that can deprive us of our energy and motivation and impact our capacity to care for ourselves, and our significant others. At Kairos Counseling, we specialize in working with individuals, couples and families through grief and mourning. Our Therapists are experienced in working with complex bereavement which often originate due to multiple losses, i.e. family members, job, relationships, social standing and life transitions.
Depression
Depression has become like an oil spill, affecting us mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. At Kairos, we strive to connect with you using evidence based interventions that have shown to be very effective. As we emerge from pandemics and global catastrophes, depression, like a malaise has settled down on many of us. It steals our sense of self, motivation, ability to pay attention, and beats on our sense of hopefulness. At Kairos Counseling, we strive to connect with you using time-tested relational based interventions that have been shown to be very effective.
Anxiety
Anxiety is our response to a rapidly changing world. Anxiety can have a crippling effect on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. At Kairos, we strive to holistically understand and help reduce the negative impact of anxiety.
