What to Do When Therapy Stops Working
Many clients find themselves asking:
“Why do I still feel this way after all the work I’ve done?”
Therapy may have helped at first, offering language, insight, and coping tools — but then… it plateaus.
This plateau is not your failure. It’s not a lack of effort or motivation. It’s a sign that you’re ready for something deeper.
- Beyond the Plateau: Therapy as Evolution
The early stages of therapy often focus on symptom relief, coping strategies, and emotional regulation. But when the pain behind those symptoms remains unspoken — or the self beneath the coping remains untouched — something vital stays frozen.
This is where depth work begins.
When therapy no longer “works,” it may be because it was never designed to carry you into the next phase of your becoming. Depth work is not a technique, is not procedural. It is participatory and perspectival: you are called to participate in your healing with accountability and we acknowledge that the therapeutic relationship is both the arena and the main therapeutic intervention.
- Who This Work Is For
- Those who have received CBT, talk therapy, DBT or EAP programs and realized that is not about the technique
- Those who long for transformation, not just adaptation
- Those who feel the limits of tools and need something human, real, and relational
- What to Expect
In this work, we don’t track progress by symptom scores — we look for reconnection, resonance, and new presence.
Sessions are anchored in relational psychotherapy, cognitive science, and your lived experience.
If this sounds like you, you may also want to read about burnout that hides behind functioning.
Sessions are available in person and online across Ontario.
