Treatment Resources
These resources include book and workbook materials (evidence-based) that many clients have found to be helpful. They are not required reading - however, they may supplement what we do in therapy. These references are some of my favourites!
Not sure which resources are most relevant to your situation? I'm happy to help you identify the materials and treatment approach that may best fit your needs.
