We’re excited to announce that Empire Psychological has transformed into Empire Psychotherapy. As we embrace this change, we want to reassure you that our commitment to providing exceptional mental health services remains stronger than ever.
Our Journey So Far
Established in 2011 by Clinical Director Ryan Jakovljevic, Empire Psychotherapy (formerly known as Empire Psychological) started with a unique approach to therapy based on attachment patterns. This pioneering method quickly gained traction, leading to an exponential growth in demand for our services.
By 2019, after ten years of solo practice, Jakovljevic expanded his team to include nine exceptional individuals, creating a group practice that offers a wide range of therapeutic approaches. These range from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to cutting-edge psychedelic therapy.
Today, we are one of the fastest-growing clinics in Canada and among the top-rated couples therapy clinics in Hamilton. We conduct more than 4,000 couples therapy sessions annually, more than any other clinic in Ontario.
Why the Change?
The shift from “Empire Psychological” to “Empire Psychotherapy” reflects our evolution as a clinic. The term “psychotherapy” better encapsulates our holistic approach to mental health services, focusing not only on psychological aspects but also on the emotional and social dimensions of well-being.
Our new name aligns with our core practices, emphasizing our dedication to therapist support and development. Unlike many private practices, we prioritize our therapists’ training and well-being, ensuring they are not overworked and can focus solely on you, our valued client.
What Does This Mean for You?
This is more than just a name change. It signifies our ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality care to our clients. Despite our new identity, the essence of our services, our approach, and our values remain unchanged.
You can still expect the same level of professionalism, empathy, and expertise from our team. Our therapists continue to receive comprehensive training and support, guaranteeing you meet with a therapist who is passionate about their work and dedicated to your needs.
At Empire Psychotherapy, we believe in nurturing a comfortable relationship with our clients, where you can express yourself openly and honestly – without feeling analyzed or put on the spot.
Moving Forward
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we want to thank you for your continued trust and support. We look forward to continuing our journey under the banner of Empire Psychotherapy, providing high-quality mental health services that make a difference in our clients’ lives.
If you have any questions or concerns about this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to ensure your experience with us remains seamless and beneficial. Remember, at Empire Psychotherapy, your mental health is our priority.
