Our Approach: What is Neural Network Therapy®?
Neural Network Therapy® is a therapeutic approach designed to reprogram the brain for optimal mental health. Developed based on neuroscience data surrounding the neuroplasticity of the brain (the brain’s ability to rewire old patterns and learn new habits), Neural Network Therapy® is an education-based approach that empowers clients to transform their mental health through adaptive skills and strategies.
Blending counselling principles with uniquely designed educational exercises, Neural Network Therapy® provides a practical, holistic approach with the goal to boost mood, reduce anxiety, break unwanted habits and develop strong, healthy relationships. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which can be ongoing for years, Neural Network Therapy® aims to provide a shorter-term, longer-lasting solution that equips clients with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve positive mental health and well-being over the lifespan.
“A neural network is a habit that’s formed in the brain that determines the way we think and behave. Once programmed, neural networks can be difficult to break, which is why many feel stuck in states such as anxiety, depression or anger. Fortunately, we can intervene and create new neural pathways that support feel-good emotions. Neural Network Therapy® teaches us how to do just that.”
-Kim Sargent, Founder, Neural Network Therapy® and Clinical Director, Canadian Family Health Counselling
