ABOUT SOLSTICE PSYCHOTHERAPY
A Place to Reconnect With the Whole of Who You Are
Solstice Psychotherapy is an integrative therapy practice in Burlington, Ontario, offering in-person and virtual support for individuals, couples, and families.
We believe healing can make room for all of you - your thoughts and emotions, your body, your relationships, your lived experience, your intuition, and the deeper questions that shape how you move through the world.
When Something Within You Is Asking for More
Maybe you’ve already spent time understanding yourself. You can recognize some of your patterns, name where they came from, and see the ways they continue to show up.
And maybe you’re still longing to feel more connected - to your body, your relationships, your values, or yourself.
You might be moving through anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or a significant transition. Or life may be relatively good, while something within you is asking for more attention.
There doesn’t have to be something “wrong” with you to want support.
Sometimes healing begins with curiosity about what else might be possible.
A Space Where Psychology, Embodiment & Sacred Practice Meet
Solstice began as a psychotherapy practice rooted in the belief that healing involves more than changing the way we think. It invites us to understand our experiences, reconnect with ourselves, and discover new ways of relating to ourselves and the world around us.
We are complex, whole humans. Our experiences are shaped by our bodies, relationships, histories, identities, communities, and the environments we move through. Meaningful healing makes room for all of these parts of who we are.
At Solstice, we bring the science of psychology into conversation with embodied awareness, relational wisdom, creativity, ritual, nature, and the search for meaning. We honour evidence-informed clinical practice while remaining curious about the many ways people experience connection, growth, and transformation.
This isn't about replacing psychological care with spirituality. It's about creating thoughtful space for both — without losing sight of the importance of ethics, safety, and individual experience.
We believe healing can involve understanding the patterns that have shaped us, learning to listen to our bodies, deepening our relationships, and reconnecting with what feels meaningful. Sometimes that means making sense of the past. Sometimes it means exploring who we're becoming and what we want our lives to hold.
Solstice is a space to explore the full complexity of being human — with curiosity, compassion, and room for what comes next.
The Meaning of Solstice
In Latin, solstice comes from sol, meaning sun, and sistere, meaning to stand still.
The solstice marks a natural pause - a moment of stillness before the seasons begin to shift again. It invites rest, reflection, and trust in the rhythms of change, including the darker seasons that are part of every life.
That meaning has always been woven into Solstice Psychotherapy.
We believe there can be value in slowing down enough to sit with what is here, rather than immediately trying to fix, change, or move past it. Like the natural world, our lives move through seasons of growth, loss, transition, rest, and renewal.
Solstice was created as a space to honour those changing seasons - and to support you as you move through your own.
What You Can Expect From Us
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. We take the time to understand your experiences, relationships, patterns, strengths, and what you’re hoping for before deciding together what kind of support might be most helpful. Your therapy is shaped around you, not a predetermined formula.
Our work is grounded in established therapeutic approaches including attachment-focused therapy, EFT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, somatic and embodied practices, and other integrative approaches. But therapy is more than a collection of techniques. It’s a relationship built on trust, safety, curiosity, and genuine human connection.
We believe meaningful change happens when we make space for the whole person. Alongside thoughts and emotions, we may explore your body, nervous system, relationships, values, patterns, and the ways you’ve learned to move through the world. When appropriate, therapy may also incorporate experiential and embodied practices.
Your relationship with your therapist matters. Different therapists bring different perspectives, specialties, personalities, and ways of working. We’ll help you find someone whose approach feels aligned with what you need so you don't have to navigate that process alone.
Find Your Way In
There’s no single way to begin.
Whether you’re looking for psychotherapy, curious about breathwork and embodiment, or drawn to one of Solstice’s workshops, groups, or educational offerings, you don’t need to have it all figured out before you reach out.
Start where you are. We’ll meet you there.
Meet our therapists to learn more about their individual approaches, or book a consultation, and we can help you determine the next step.
