Support Groups in Burlington, ON
Group EMDR Therapy is a brief and targeted intervention to help you reduce PTSD/acute distress from a traumatic event, while also strengthening your grounding and stabilization skills. We implement a specific EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) in our EMDR Therapy Groups. Groups (between 2-10 people) meet either in person at our Burlington office or remotely and are facilitated by a Certified EMDR Therapist (Christina Janiga). Our groups provide a supportive space where you DO NOT have to talk about your trauma AND still have the opportunity to reprocess it through guided instructions incorporating eye movements.

No WAIT List! Do you feel like you are struggling, been treading water, floundering for the last few months, maybe even years? Have big life transitions- illness, career, marriage, divorce, care-giving, or just moving from one stage of life to another keep you up at night thinking about the worst case scenario? Do you drag yourself out of bed each day feeling like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, and trying to figure out how you are going to do it all, and do it right?

*ON HOLD - What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)? CBT is a structured, time-limited, problem-focused treatment that is an excellent building block in many treatments. CBT provides a road-map to organize thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can also be helpful in ways of emotional regulation. CBT branches its focus into the way we think (sticking to the facts) and the way we behave/act (controlled, exposure for avoidance). This group is a 10-week 90 minutes Psycho-education group that leaves enough time to process and explore how CBT can work for you. Please contact me for further details.

Whether you require insight into why you may react or behave the way you do in certain situations or relationships, or wish to acquire skills, I’ll seek to create a healing relationship in which it is safe to do so.

I am the owner and operator of Margarita Rabinovich & Associates. I believe that most of us decide to seek help through psychotherapy when we have painful feelings or destructive impulses that cause difficulties in our lives and the lives of others we care for or love. Most individuals are affected by periods of discouragement and hopelessness, feeling disconnected, numb, distressed, unable to function or anxious. You are not alone. Many mental health disorders can be episodic and often is a response to a way of life that does not align with our more profound sense of meaning and authenticity or to unexamined early traumas.

Mindfulness can help improve concentration, regulate emotions, and build self-confidence. Mindfulness also provides opportunity to learn about physical experiences and enhances the ability to self-soothe/relax. Mindfulness promotes kindness, patience, and gratitude. For children with learning disabilities/ADHD, mindfulness training has been shown to improve attention, focus, memory, self-understanding and self-acceptance. It also helps alleviate anxiety by focusing on the present rather than fearing the future. Goals: 1) give tools to choose options other than anger, fear, anxiety, stress 2) encourage positive emotions 3) improve emotional/cognitive awareness 4) increase focus on present
