Integrating narrative therapy and meaning making approaches with CBT for complicated grief. The goal is to use art therapy to help the client integrate their loved ones death in their life story. This can be done by helping the client create a story board of their life including the loss and other important events and thus encouraging the client to visualize the continuity of their life after the loss. Another approach would be to help the client process their somatic responses to the loss through body tracings. Giving shape and colour to the sensations that accompany the grief allows the client to develop language around change and progress. Through various art techniques clients can also create a memorial piece using photos or items of significance and process the thoughts and feelings that emerge in a very intentional way.
Self compassion has been shown to be a protective factor for mental health. ONEBird is a model which combines the practice of Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Art Therapy as a way to reduce suffering.
‘For example, after a brief check-in, a typical session opens with discussion regarding a mindful or self-compassionate concept, and is followed by a direct experience of a related practice. Then a creative activity based on the experiential component is completed. Finally, if appropriate, verbal processing of the image and entire experience is conducted. The approach is similar within both individual and group work.’

Guiding you to Healing the disruptions and negative imprints within your energy that are causing illnesses within the Mind, Body and Soul
Shamanic healing is based in anything we need to do to get the four bodies to communicate to the source, to receive the healing they need. To expand further, Shamanic healing is about being able to connecting with one, or all of the four spirits “the four bodies” in a person; the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Healing then requires us to align those bodies with the magnetic energy of source, the creation of energy and be able to heal themselves. This can happen through the use of clearing spirits which do not belong in these bodies etheric entities for example or activating energies within those bodies, or simply having a person look at their dreams. Shamanic healing can also result in teaching someone how to communicate with their spirit. Through shamanic healing, you can learn to communicate with your body to find out what it’s going through and change whatever the body needs. For example, being able to change the body’s temperature, change the direction of the energy or relax certain muscles and so forth.
At Crossroads Collective, Our Speech Therapy Langley services can be carried out online via video conferencing or in our clinic, depending on each client’s needs. This may also vary depending on the child’s age and communication abilities. Our speech-language pathologist’s role is to provide play-based therapy using objects, pictures, and books to help stimulate speech and language development.
Speech therapy Langley is the assessment and treatment of communication delays and disorders. Speech-Language Pathologists work with clients to improve their communication skills and provide strategies and techniques to generalize these skills at home. We also integrate and communicate with teachers, parents, and other healthcare professionals where needed.
Counselling LangleySpeech-language pathologists, also called SLPs, are experts in communication. They work with people of all ages, from toddlers to elders, and treat many types of communication and swallowing problems. These include problems with:
Speech sounds is how we put sounds and say sounds to put words together. Other words for these problems are articulation or phonological disorders, apraxia of speech (a motor planning disorder that makes it difficult to sequence the movements needed for speech), or dysarthria (weakness of the muscles used for speech).
Language is how well we understand what we hear or read and how we use words to tell others what we are thinking and feeling. Some adults also have difficulty with language, which is often the result of a stroke, in which case they may have a disorder called aphasia.
This is regarding how well we read and write. It is possible that if you have a speech or language disorder, you might also have some issues with spelling, writing or even reading.
Social communication is about how well we follow social rules. This includes waiting for your turns, how to adapt your speech level in different situations, or how close you should be when talking to someone. This is also known as pragmatics.
This is about how our voices sound. We may lose our voice often, have a voice that sounds hoarse, talk loudly without meaning to or simply talking from our noses. This also includes being unable to make sounds.
This is also referred to as stuttering. It is how well our speech flows in a conversation. When stuttering, a person may uncontrollably repeat sounds. For example, use “um” or “uh,”, stutter by saying words like t-t-t-table or simply use as lot of pause when we are talking. A lot of young kids will go through a stuttering phase, but most will outgrow it. If you need help, you can ask us about speech therapy in Langley.
