Understanding begins with your experience.

A thoughtful exploration of what you are living through, and what it has come to mean.

The ways we respond to difficulty often have a history. A habit of staying quiet, anticipating others’ needs or holding feelings at a distance may once have helped us manage something painful. Therapy offers time to understand those responses in the context of your life, without reducing you to a pattern or a diagnosis.

There is a person within every story.

We attend both to what is difficult now and to the experiences, relationships and meanings that surround it. There is room for feelings that are hard to name, needs that have been difficult to express, and uncertainty about what you want.

As understanding develops, we can consider what you would like to approach differently. Changes can be explored gradually, with attention to what feels meaningful and possible for you.

A considered approach. Attention to the individual.

Another Path is led by Gregory I. Smith, Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director. He brings more than 25 years in the mental-health field and the perspective explored in his book, The Silenced Self: Psychodynamics of Suppressed Identity.

Therapy is a collaborative process. The focus and approach are discussed with you, in light of your concerns and circumstances. Your feedback helps shape the work as it develops.
