About Collette Chaput-McGrath & The Growth Group

My mission statement is to aid individuals as they progress from Trauma to Triumph™ and achieve effective personal growth to reach their maximum level of functionality within their chosen environment. The training assumes a holistic client-centred approach which ensures that I am working with individuals according to their style, preference, and capabilities. This can range from mindfulness techniques to a basic level health teaching approach.

growth & strategy

These teachings may be focused in such areas as developing self-esteem, self-awareness, personal boundaries, communication strategies, emotional connection strategies, emotional connection, social skills, stress management, anger management/treatment, and improving personal judgement and insight.

A Blend of Cognitive & Behavioural Techniques

I may progress to more sophisticated, in-depth levels related to personal self-excavation using a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches. A blending of cognitive and behavioural therapeutic techniques and the new “Dialectic Behavioural Therapy” may be added to accomplish progress and achieve successful lifestyle choices.

Through my ongoing desire for professional growth, I continually challenge myself and those around me to explore increasingly complex mental health issues. I have augmented my skills with continuing education and intensive training in a variety of therapeutic modules and counselling strategies.
