To our valued clients,
The COVID-19 pandemic is a stressful time with much uncertainty. Anxiety and fears can activate our trauma and put a strain on our relationships. In times like these, we are called upon to come together, support each other from a distance, and keep each other safe. Please rest assured The Whitestone Clinic continues to be here for you as an essential service.
At this time, we have transitioned to virtual therapy services using Zoom, an online video teleconferencing platform. Virtual consultations are a very effective alternative to in-person therapy.
As physical distancing measures are expected to be in place for the foreseeable future, we encourage clients to schedule appointments without delay. Putting off sessions until an “old normal” returns may mean too much passing time between sessions.
Rest assured our therapists and their exceptional work are deemed an essential service by the Provincial Government of Ontario. In a time when companies of all sizes are being urged to put formal plans in place to care for their employees’ mental health care, policy enhancements are happening with increasing regularity.
In the event you experience issues with reimbursement from your Insurance company, we suggest speaking with you Human Resources department or Union representative. Oftentimes newly updated policy terms may not be communicated as fast as we all would like.
It is in stressful times such as these that therapy can be of most help. If you have lost wages or your job, we ask you to talk to your therapist to see what we can do to help.
Until we next connect, stay safe and be well.

COUPLES THERAPY PROCESS FLOW
The Whitestone Clinic offers an intensive couple therapy program for couples impacted by sex addiction. In the program, the couple flows through key steps of therapy timed for effective recovery from sex addiction and healing from betrayal trauma. Important stages include initial couple assessment, followed by individual work on addiction recovery and healing from betrayal trauma, dovetailing with the crucial work of preparing, delivering, and receiving the recovering addict’s Disclosure Statement and the partner’s Impact Statement. In the final phase, the couple begins intensive couple work to repair their damaged relationship, rebuild intimacy and healthy sexuality, and Return to Love.
Certified sex addiction therapists are committed to providing specialized counselling services, programs and activities aimed at the treatment, outreach and education related to those who may have a sex addiction. For individuals, couples and families, who are struggling with relationship distress, addictions, and other related issues, our Ottawa-based counsellors are ready to coach you towards a happier, healthier, less stressful life.
