About Sano State Health Clinic

ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELLING - At times we all need someone to talk to about our lives, goals, and struggles. Speaking with a counsellor allows for a safe, and judgment free place to express thoughts and emotions. Valuable feedback and evidence-based strategies and solutions are given in a professional setting. ​

Talk therapy may be supplemented with books, smart phone applications, online videos, and other resources to provide additional help. ​

Biofeedback and Virtual Reality Therapy are also available to compliment talk therapy in one-on-one counselling.

VIRTUAL REALITY AND BIOFEEDBACK - Biofeedback entails the use of sensors that monitor the body's responses, and then shows us what is happening. Then through a number of coping strategies, we can learn to manage our body's responses. For example, if you think of a stressful situation, your shoulders and neck might tense up. With biofeedback equipment, you can see this happening. As you are taught, and practice relaxation techniques in therapy, you will gain control of your body's reaction. You will see even the slightest changes, and master the ability to control your body's responses.

When coupled with virtual reality, we can practice being in a very calm and relaxed environment, and then progressively move to more stressful situations where you can improve your ability to control your body's responses. All of this takes place under the direction of a therapist. ​

We are seeing fantastic results using this novel form of treatment for chronic stress, pain, and anxiety.
