Therapy for Youth (11+) and Teens, Adults, and Couples in Guelph, and Across Ontario and Alberta

With compassion and curiosity, we offer a place to slow down, to soften, and to be met with care in a way that feels authentic and deeply human.

At Golden Horizons, we believe in co-creating a space to dig deep and explore the challenges that have led you here. You can expect a judgment-free zone where there are no wrong thoughts, feelings, or emotions, and there’s nothing you “can’t say.”

Together, we may work towards building self-awareness, challenging old narratives, increasing connection to the people who are important to you, or enhancing your ability to get through the ebbs and flows of life.

We like to say we offer therapy for every moment: big, tiny, and in-between.

If you’re like most people with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, you’ve built a life full of workarounds. They’re probably costing you more than they’re worth.
Maybe anxiety is all you’ve known, or anxiety is running your life. If this sounds like you, we can help.
Many couples have the same fight over and over, defending positions that completely miss the mark. We understand.
OCD therapy can help you manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and regain control of your life. Using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we provide compassionate, personalized treatment for OCD.
Maybe you grew up in house where the mood depended on one person, or something awful happened that’s still affecting you. We’re here to support!
Growing up can be hard, that’s why we provide your teen a safe space to talk about it. Plus, for “old people who don’t get it,” we’re pretty cool.
Whether you’re navigating being out, or no one knows and you’re struggling with a “secret,” you have a safe space here.

- 2SLGBTQ+ and identity
- ADHD and Neurodiversity
- Anxiety
- Boundaries and assertiveness
- Emotional and behavioural regulation
- Grief and loss
- High sensitivity and deep feelers

Therapeutic Approaches we use at Golden Horizons

ACT is a mindfulness-based behavioural therapy that encourages embracing our thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.
More about ACT
ERP is a type of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) used specifically for treating OCD. It is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
More about ERP
CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, behaviours, and physical sensations are interconnected. CBT believes that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a downward spiral.
More about CBT
DBT was developed for people who struggle with regulating their emotions and behaviour. It focuses on mindfulness, tolerating distress, emotion regulation, and more.
More about DBT
EFT is based in attachment science which treats emotion and emotional regulation as the bedrock of relationships and mental health.
More about EFT
Narrative therapy is grounded in the stories that we and others tell about ourselves. These stories can often be shaped by culture, family, and lived experiences
More about narrative therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-oriented approach to healing from traumatic or overwhelming life experiences. It emphasizes the connection between mind and body, and teaches self-nurturing and self-soothing.
More about somatic therapy
Self-compassion involves self-kindness, mindful acceptance, and non-judgment. It's about treating ourselves with the same gentleness we'd show anyone else in pain.
