Mindful Therapies

Counselling in Nova Scotia That Meets You Where You Are

Mindful Therapies is a trusted mental health and wellness clinic based in Nova Scotia, founded in 2016 by Dr. Rebecca Boehm, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience in trauma-informed care. Our interdisciplinary team includes Clinical Social Workers, Psychologists, and Registered Counselling Therapists who are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based support.

The name “Mindful Therapies” reflects our core approach — integrating mindfulness practices with proven psychotherapies. We specialize in modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for anxiety and depression, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma recovery, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills training for emotional regulation.

With offices in Dartmouth, Kentville, and Halifax, and a dedicated virtual care team, we are proud to serve clients across Nova Scotia. We offer individual, group, and veteran-focused therapy, both in-person and online, ensuring accessible, high-quality care throughout the province.

Learn About Mindful Therapies

Mindful Therapies was founded on the belief that every person deserves a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. We respect the courage it takes to seek therapy and honour the strength it takes to step toward change.

Our name reflects two guiding principles: mindfulness and psychotherapy. These values shape every aspect of our work and guide how we support clients through life’s challenges. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties, our approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and evidence-based care.

We are proud to serve adults, teens, couples, veterans, military members, and first responders across Nova Scotia, offering a safe and inclusive space where healing and growth can take place.

Our Therapeutic Approach

At Mindful Therapies, our focus is on trauma-informed counselling in Nova Scotia that is both evidence-based and deeply compassionate. We believe every client deserves support that feels personal, practical, and effective.

We offer a wide range of counselling in Nova Scotia, including:

  • Individual counselling for adults and teens – addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions.
  • Couples therapy – helping partners strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection.
  • Group programs – skills-based support for mood management, anxiety, veterans, and families.
  • Veteran, military & first responder services – specialized counselling with clinicians who understand CAF/VAC systems and provide direct billing support.

Our therapists use proven therapeutic methods, always adapted to your unique needs:
