Welcome

It takes courage to make the call

Picking up the phone is usually the hardest part. Most people think about it for a long time before they do it. If you feel nervous, that is normal. Almost everyone who calls us does.

You do not have to figure out the rest on your own. We will walk you through it: the first call, finding a therapist who suits you, and what to expect when you come in.

We work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, emotional and nervous system regulation, and relationship difficulties. Our therapists have the training and the experience to help with what you are bringing. The team includes Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Social Workers, so most extended health plans will cover your sessions.

We go beyond insight. Understanding why you do something is a start, but it is not the same as changing it. We work with you on the patterns themselves.

The three pillars of our therapeutic process

1

It starts with the relationship

Most of what helps in therapy happens between two people. Your therapist will be real with you — present, honest, willing to say what they notice. Not a blank face nodding along.

2

We look at what is underneath

What brings you in is usually not the whole story. We look at the patterns you are living in, where they started, and the ways you learned to protect yourself that are now getting in your way.

3

The change comes from you

You already have more than you think you do. Our job is to help you find it and learn to use it, so what changes in the room still holds a month later.

Whole-person therapy at Newmarket Therapy Centre, working with mind, heart and body

Our philosophy

We treat the whole person

Most therapy works on what you think. That matters. But the experiences that shaped you do not only live in your thoughts — they live in your body, in your nervous system, and in feelings that were never given anywhere to go.

Mind The beliefs and patterns underneath what you tell yourself about who you are.

Heart The feelings beneath the symptom that were never safe to actually feel.

Body What your nervous system is still holding, long after you have understood it.

Work on one and you get insight. Work on all three and something actually changes.

We want every person who walks through our doors to experience the joy of being fully human and fully alive.

From the Clinical Director

Why we built it this way

Hi, I am Jason Koenigbaur. I am the Clinical Director of Newmarket Therapy Centre and of our sister clinic, Aurora Village Therapy and Wellness Centre.

I started this clinic in 2018, with my wife Jodie supporting me in building it. It came out of something fairly simple: a wish to support the people of Newmarket and the communities around it.

What we want for the people who come here is a healthier relationship with themselves and with the people in their lives. That means clearing the blocks that stop you reaching your potential, and learning the ways to develop emotional depth and authenticity. To become a real human being, more fully yourself.

There are twenty therapists here now, and they share that vision. Integrative therapy, where the mind, the body and the heart all matter in the work. You come in with all of you: what you are thinking, how your body is responding, and the emotions underneath it, at the core. We do not ask you to leave any of that outside, and we do not work on one part while ignoring the other two.

Everyone is welcome here. Whatever your background, identity or circumstances, you will be treated with dignity in this clinic. You belong here.

Appointments & Fees Getting to the Office The Therapeutic Process Important Information

How we work

The therapies we use, and what each one does

We group our approaches by the part of you they work with: mind, heart and body, plus a set that works directly with the nervous system, and a separate group for couples. Most people's therapy draws on more than one. Your therapist will use whichever fits what you are bringing, and will tell you why.

Mind The cognitive dimension

Here we look at the thoughts, beliefs and perspectives sitting behind a pattern — the things you tell yourself so quickly you no longer notice you are saying them. A therapist may use one of these approaches on its own, or blend them. Either way, these are skills you keep. They stay useful long after therapy ends.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Catch the thought that fires just before the feeling, look at whether it is actually true, and choose a different response. Structured and practical. Learn more → Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills for when the feeling is too strong to think through — riding out distress, steadying yourself, and staying in a hard conversation without going under. Learn more → Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Stop wrestling the thought. Make room for it, and move toward what actually matters to you rather than what fear is telling you to do. Learn more → Psychodynamic Therapy Trace a pattern back to where it was formed, usually in early relationships, and see how it is still running now. Slower and more open-ended, and it goes deeper than technique alone. Learn more →

Heart The emotional dimension

Underneath most of what brings people to therapy are feelings that never had anywhere to go. Grief that was not grieved. Anger that was not safe to have. This is the work of letting those surface at a pace you can manage, and finding out what they were protecting.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT / EFCT) Get underneath the argument to the need sitting beneath it. Used with individuals, and with couples who keep having the same fight. Learn more → Gestalt Therapy Work with what is happening right now, in the room, rather than only talking about it. Often reaches things that explaining never does. Learn more → Internal Family Systems (IFS) Meet the parts of you that are at odds — the protector, the critic, the frightened one — and stop being at war with yourself. Learn more → Expressive Arts Therapy When words run out, image, movement and making give the feeling another way out. No artistic ability required. Learn more →

Body The somatic dimension

The body holds what the mind has not been able to resolve. That is why insight alone often is not enough, and why people say they understand exactly what happened and still cannot sleep. This work goes at the level of sensation and the nervous system, not explanation.

Somatic Experiencing & Somatic Therapy Follow what is happening in the body and let the nervous system finish what it could not finish at the time. Slow and careful. You do not have to retell the story. Learn more → EMDR Therapy Reprocess a memory using guided eye movement, so it stops firing in the present as though it were still happening. Learn more → Polyvagal-Informed Therapy Learn to read which state your nervous system is in — settled, braced for threat, or shut down — and what actually brings you back. Explains a great deal that willpower never could. Learn more → Mindfulness-Based Therapy Training your attention on what is actually happening in your body and your breath right now, rather than the story running about it. Often the first thing that makes the rest of the work possible. Learn more →

Neuro-based approaches Working directly with the nervous system

These two work with the brain and nervous system directly rather than through conversation. Both can run alongside talking therapy, and both suit people who have done a lot of talking already and want something that works at a different level. Not everyone needs them. Your therapist will say plainly whether they are worth trying.

Neurofeedback & Neurotherapy Sensors read your brain's own activity and feed it back in real time, and the brain gradually learns to settle itself. Drug-free, and there is nothing you have to do — you sit still while it works. Learn more → Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) Uses precise light, colour and eye movement alongside conversation to reach emotional states that talking alone can circle for a long time without touching. Learn more →

Couples & relationships When there are two of you in the room

Couples work is its own discipline. Sitting with two people who are hurt and defended takes different training from sitting with one, and our couples therapists have it. Most couples arrive having had the same argument for years without getting anywhere near what it is actually about. Some arrive because of what has stopped happening between them, which is just as workable and just as common.

Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) Gets underneath the fight to the need driving it — usually some version of are you there, do I matter to you. Changes the cycle rather than refereeing the content. Learn more → The Gottman Method Built on decades of research into what actually predicts whether a couple lasts. Structured, practical, and strong on the specific habits that erode a relationship. Learn more → Imago Relationship Therapy A structured way of talking to each other that most couples have never been taught. Slows the exchange down enough that both of you are actually heard. Learn more → Sex Therapy for Couples Desire, mismatch, avoidance, and the things that have gone unsaid for a long time. Talked about openly and without embarrassment, by therapists who do this work regularly. Learn more →

We also offer nutritional counselling, which looks at the connection between food, mood and the gut. It sits alongside therapy rather than replacing it.
