Adult Support at
Midtown Therapy Group

Whether you are navigating a complex diagnosis, intense emotions or daily challenges, we meet you where you are: building insight, strengthening coping, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Our model balances structure with personalized support. We focus on helping you understand your relational patterns, deepen insight, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.

Treatment is collaborative and adapted to what feels most relevant and useful to you.

WHAT WE TREAT

Anxiety and depression can affect how you think, feel, connect, and move through daily life. Anxiety may show up as worry, overthinking, panic, tension, or avoidance, while depression may involve low mood, low motivation, changes in sleep or energy, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, build practical coping strategies, and find more effective ways to respond to difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations.

BPD can involve intense emotions, relationship difficulties, fears of rejection or abandonment, feelings of emptiness, and challenges regulating responses in the moment. Together, we work on building emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, improving relationships, increasing self-understanding, and reducing high-risk or impulsive behaviours.

When distress feels overwhelming, thoughts of suicide or urges to self-harm may emerge. We provide structured, supportive care focused on safety, stabilization, and developing alternative ways to cope. Together, we work on reducing risk, building distress tolerance skills, and strengthening support during difficult moments.

Trauma and PTSD can result from past experiences that continue to affect how you feel, think, and respond. This may include heightened anxiety, emotional reactivity, difficulty feeling safe, feeling disconnected, or feeling stuck in past events. Support is trauma-informed and paced carefully, helping you process these experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable while reconnecting with the present.

Disordered eating can involve restriction, bingeing, emotional eating, or preoccupation with food, weight, and body image. We help individuals understand the emotions and patterns beneath these behaviours, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more supportive relationship with food, body, and self.

OCD involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges, along with repetitive behaviours or mental rituals used to reduce anxiety or distress. These patterns can feel exhausting and may interfere with daily life. Together, we work to understand the OCD cycle, resist compulsive responses, and build more effective ways to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort.

Substance use may begin as a way to cope with distress but can become difficult to manage over time. It can impact relationships, functioning, and emotional well-being. We help you develop an understanding of patterns, reduce reliance on substances, and build alternative ways of managing emotions.

Insomnia and sleep difficulties can affect mood, energy, focus, and overall well-being. Support may include CBT-I strategies to help you better understand your sleep patterns, reduce behaviours that interfere with rest, and build healthier routines that support more consistent, restorative sleep

Ongoing conflict, disconnection, or communication challenges can strain relationships. Patterns can become repetitive and difficult to shift without support. Together, we work on improving communication, increasing understanding, and building more stable and effective patterns of interaction.

Separation and divorce can bring emotional, relational, and practical stress. Individuals and families may be navigating conflict, uncertainty, grief, co-parenting challenges, or significant changes in roles and routines. Together, we work to manage the emotional impact, improve communication, and move through these transitions with greater clarity and stability.

Family dynamics can become strained during periods of conflict, transition, or stress. Patterns of communication and interaction may feel stuck or unproductive. Together, we focus on navigating and strengthening family dynamics, improving communication, and creating more consistent and effective patterns within the family system.

ADHD and executive functioning challenges can affect focus, organization, time management, task initiation, and follow-through. This can lead to frustration, overwhelm, and difficulty managing work, home, and daily life. We support adults in building structure and developing more effective day-to-day strategies, using neuroaffirming approaches that start with understanding your preferences and respect different communication styles and ways of thinking.

HOW WE TREAT

Work one-on-one with an experienced clinician who balances structure and support.

Learn and practice practical skills in a supportive, structured group setting.

Learn practical tools to help better manage emotions, cope with distress, navigate relationships, and respond to difficult moments more effectively. Each module focuses on one of the core DBT skills areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

The four core modules of our DBT Foundations program, shaped around the experiences, needs, and life stages of specific communities (Neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, Young Adult, Adolescent, Parent & Caregiver).

 

Explore the patterns behind worry, avoidance, and physical tension. Rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Clients develop tools to manage anxious thinking, navigate uncertainty, and respond more calmly in triggering situations. A key focus is building tolerance for discomfort and regaining confidence in day-to-day life.

For those experiencing low mood, low motivation, or withdrawal, we offer a path toward gradual re-engagement. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based strategies, sessions focus on breaking the cycle of depression, reconnecting with meaningful activity, rebuilding routine, and shifting patterns of inactivity and disconnection. The goal is real, day-to-day improvement in both functioning and mood.

A trauma-informed space to develop the foundational skills needed for healing. Early sessions (Stage 1) centre on safety, stabilization, grounding, and emotional regulation, helping clients manage reactivity and reduce avoidance. Later sessions (Stage 2) move into trauma processing, building on the stability developed in Stage 1.

Poor sleep affects everything. These groups address difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or maintaining a consistent schedule, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Clients focus on regulating sleep patterns, reducing nighttime arousal, and identifying the thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of rest.

These groups support people looking to understand and change their relationship with substances in a non-judgmental environment. Drawing from both CBT and DBT, build skills to manage urges, recognize triggers, and develop stronger coping strategies. Sessions explore the connection between emotions, thoughts, and use — with a focus on lasting, meaningful change.

A therapist works with members of a family unit, including couples, parents, or siblings, to address communication challenges, life transitions, conflict, and patterns that feel difficult to shift.
