Thrive Downtown Counselling Centre

All of our counsellors and healers have an understanding of the nervous system. The simplest lesson from trauma-theory is that we get stressed 'up' into anxious fight-flight, or stressed 'down' into depressed freeze-collapse. We have known since the famous van der Kolk brain scans of the late 90s that enduring change in therapy does not happen from just chatting. It happens from energetic engagement with the body, and our counsellors take this to heart. With this at our foundation, we host an assortment of humans who have made it their life's work to understand themselves as deeply as possible. Thrive operates on the idea that only actualized humans who do the work to keep their hearts open will be able to mirror their clients, helping them through the chaos of life towards presence and peace.
