Therapy 101 Series - PART 4: New Year, New Mind. Mental Health Reflections & Resolutions Ignite the Chat

We are happy to welcome back our resident psychotherapist, Montana Vascotto, for Part 4 of our on-going series here at Ignite the Chat called "Therapy 101."

In this episode, we discuss why we feel so blah during the winter months and how things like resolutions, weather, and the holidays give us so much angst. Montana shares some tools and tips on how to keep focused and eliminate those barriers that we sometimes get stuck on.

Join us for an unbelievable episode!


Guest Bio:
Montana Vascotto holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology degree, and currently running her own practice.
Power Your Thoughts Counselling and Psychotherapy | virtual therapy


Her experience working in private practice and her prior experience at Sunnybrook Health Sciences, Thompson Anxiety Clinic, North York General Hospital, and clinical research labs at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University) have served to give her more insight into how to best provide a safe and comfortable environment for vulnerable individuals. Likewise, as a chat volunteer with the Certified Listeners Society, Montana provides individuals with emotional support and guidance in navigating their life challenges to assist them in reaching a happier outcome. These experiences combined have taught Montana the importance of taking a holistic approach to mental health—one that treats the whole individual and utilizes outside resources when necessary (e.g., medical doctors and psychiatrists). She is currently offering virtual psychotherapy and counselling services only to adults and adolescents living in the Greater Toronto Region who are presenting with different challenges and personal issues.

Montana is also holding a virtual group anxiety support group for 8 weeks, beginning Monday, March 11–May 6, 2024. Spots are limited; contact her today to reserve your spot by emailing montana@poweryourthoughts.ca.
