My Approach to Mental Health care
My name is Courtney and I am the owner and founder of SOlcity Therapy and Wellness. My hope is for Solcity Therapy & Wellness to stand as a beacon of support and transformation. My approach is integrative and eclectic. Why? I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” model because we are all different and the same thing goes for the concerns we bring to therapy. My approach is collaborative and is informed on both psychotherapeutic and evidence based theories, and the needs of you, the client.

Our rates
Individual therapy
Online individual therapy, is designated for individuals to process and explore their thoughts in a one-to-one setting. Typically, meetings are weekly or bi-weekly. On average clients come for 8+ sessions but that’s not a benchmark or goal to be reached just a statistic. At Solcity we sit with you and take our time to really support your goals and needs. Some people take much longer than 8 and others shorter, this is something we’ll collaborate on.

Our Commitment to Anti- Racism
Courtney and Solcity Therapy and Wellness recognize the intersectional experience of each of our clients journeys as well as the bias and privilege we carry in our own. We recognize the historic and ongoing injustices of racism and oppression in the systems which impact our client in Canada and from around the world. Whether working through trauma or on your relationship, we strive to take an intersectional lens in our clinical work, to self examine and educate throughout the process, and to continue to challenge and oppose historical biases in psychotherapeutic practice which were previously Eurocentric in perspective.
We also recognize our responsibility to continue working towards acknowledging experiences of race, class, gender, ethnicity, ability, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, QTBIPOC (Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) voices and experiences, and other factors. We are taking steps to further inform how we work with clients through ongoing training in anti-racism/anti-oppression and diversity, equity and inclusion, supervision, peer consult, continuing education and research. These are a starting point in an ongoing effort to correct and inform any unintentional inequities in our policies, programs and practices going forward.
