We’re part of a larger community of psychotherapists, but also secondarily, community members, neighbours, friends, colleagues, and supporters of health and wellness for all Manitobans. We're always learning and coming across discoveries and discussions that we think could also prove of interest to our Oak Tree Therapy family. We’ll use this space to share our thoughts with you.
