Psychotherapy can help you uncover negative thought patterns and beliefs that have kept you stuck and unhappy. It can give you hope that there is a better way to live and that you do have choices and options. It can teach you different ways of communicating which are less defensive and attacking and more positive and inviting. Therapy can help you see yourself and others in your current life as well as those in your past, with more forgiveness and understanding. It can completely transform your life If you are willing.

We implement a range of therapeutic techniques and exercises such as guided imagery, relaxation techniques, expressive arts therapy, journaling, or mindfulness exercises as part of our psychotherapy approach. These interventions are carefully selected and tailored to support clients in achieving their therapeutic goals, which may include relieving emotional distress, managing symptoms of mental health conditions, improving interpersonal relationships, enhancing coping skills, and promoting overall psychological well-being.

In transactional analysis psychotherapy client is expected to be an active participant at every stage of the process. You will be invited to set your goals for your therapy; thus it is helpful if you come with an idea of what you want to get out of therapy and I will help you to set realistic and achievable goals. A part of being an active participant in the therapy involves doing 'homework' in between the sessions, such as using relaxation techniques, writing down your thoughts about something or practicing new behaviours. Full engagement in therapy requires a high degree of honesty/transparency of thoughts and emotions. Often things we are most reluctant to discuss are the most important.

Our thoughts have a huge impact on how we view and act in the world. I will work with you to explore how your thoughts have been influenced by your experiences growing up, as well as by significant life events, loss and/or trauma. I use approaches from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness to help you calm your mind and invite you to consider the possibilty of expanding your perceptions of life experiences as a way of creating changes in yourself and in relationships.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen. With established trust and rapport between us, we can develop a structureless structure for our treatment plan. That is, one flexible enough to give space to deal with thoughts and feelings spontaneously each week, and structured enough to accomplish your goals.

Psychotherapy (or counselling) is ‘talk therapy’ – where you, as the client, share: your experiences, goals, challenges, presenting concerns, both verbally and nonverbally. Through this communication a therapeutic relationship (or alliance) is formed. This relationship acts a safe space for you to explore, excavate, evaluate, take new risks, etc. In a large way, engaging in the therapeutic relationship is ‘practise’ for the real world. I, as the therapist, will work with multiple modalities (or theoretical orientations) within our dialogue and engagement, which will serve to help us reflect, challenge, bear to light, collaborate, as well as model things (such as security, compassion, etc.).

Psychotherapy is an effective way for you to solve problems, identify past patterns, heal from past trauma and focus on moving forward. Together we work to set and achieve goals that contribute to you becoming the best version of yourself. We offer individual, child, family and couples therapy. We use a variety of techniques including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Psychotherapy can help people cope with anxiety, depression, domestic violence, inter-generational trauma, frontline healthcare worker trauma, job loss and illness

Psychotherapy is a fancy word for "talk therapy." Within a safe, therapeutic relationship psychotherapy can help clients explore and gain an understanding of how their past may be influencing the present and how behavioural and relationship patterns may be getting in the way of reaching goals. Heather is familiar with all of the major approaches to psychotherapy and may incorporate other forms of therapy, including somatic therapies, to respond to the unique needs of each client.

A major focus for me is the body-mind relationship and attuning to the wisdom within the person. Besides "talk therapy", I often incorporate tools such as dreamwork and creative expression. Having over twenty years experience as a psychotherapist and having been an instructor of counsellors for many years as well, I am familiar with all of the major approaches to psychotherapy and am therefore able to work with each client according to their individual needs. For those exploring spiritual issues such as meaning, direction, and deeper connection, I bring my training in Interfaith Spiritual Guidance and many years exploring Jungian psychology.

Psychotherapy can empower you to create lasting positive change. Creating a safe, compassionate space for your own inner journey is in itself often a meaningful contradiction to how we have been alone with our pain. Through my guidance and gentle support, you will begin to examine and move through the places of pain and confusion that trouble you. Your path toward personal growth and expansion will reveal new possibilities and ways to achieve a life of joy and the connection you want. Call me or email for a free 15 minute consultation.

Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life. Utilizing a number of therapeutic models I hope to provide an empathetic and non-judgemental experience to explore "problems". Sessions are typically one hour and can be a safe and confidential space to share concerns, worries, fears, hopes, and needs. We will collaborate on goals for our work together. Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.

In my practice as a psychotherapist I assist individuals to understand forces within that cause suffering & confusion. My approach is engaging, compassionate and expansive. I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences. But most everyone is trying to live a better life. People often have ‘scripts’ of who they are & why they came to be living the way they are. I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.
