As a Registered (Provisional) Psychologist, I will work along side you to support you in what you want to change about your life. Consider me a partner, coach, therapist, and collaborator as we work together to develop an understanding of the issues and challenges you face. I believe that change requires a road map so that we know the direction we are headed. Imagine taking a trip without a map or destination in mind. Once we have an idea or plan of where you want to be in your life, charting a course for change becomes a process of discussing alternative ways to get there. My client-centered approach adapts to the goals, needs, and learning preferences of clients.

Nicolas utilizes a form of therapy called Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) which was developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. SFT concentrates on solutions and preferred futures in preference to problems. In using this theoretical approach, Nicolas amplifies clients’ strengths and abilities that are already being used to combat the clients problem.

Psychotherapy is a process of working through beliefs, emotions, trauma and current life events that enables you to move forward uncencumbered by destructive beliefs and emotions. Psychotherapists are trained to listen and interact with you in ways that facilitates the unlocking of traumatic and habitual ways of thinking and behaving so that you can live more freely and consciously.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!

If you are looking to have a thorough understanding of your personality, with the goal of the greatest possible degree of growth and change, psychotherapy will help you. People may make behavioural changes through counselling but do they change on the inside? From my experience, long-lasting change needs to be congruent with one's inner self. Psychotherapy is usually longer term and more "in depth" but the rewards and benefits are richer and life long.

I use various orientations depending on the individuals and his/her needs. During therapy with me, we look at issues from their childhood to the present day. Unresolved childhood issues can play a major role in a client's present difficulties. At times the exploration of past issues can be painful however I do it in an empathic, supportive and compassionate manner. I practice both Brief and Long-term Psychotherapy.

"I was doing so well... and then it all crumbled." Do you feel like your relationship or career is on the rocks? Or has something huge happened that you don't know how to get-over? Sometimes big, unexpected life changes can derail our plans - leaving us with racing minds, intense emotions, and afraid we'll never get back to normal. Just know - there is a path to healing. With humor, warmth, and powerful techniques, I help clients develop insight, get relief, and find solutions for challenging life issues. If you're ready to finally stop suffering, step into freedom and harmony with others, and see real movement towards your goals, don't hesitate to reach out.

Psychotherapy presents the opportunity to explore areas of our lives that have been left in the shadows. Wounds unhealed and unacknowledged at times can infect other aspects of our character through behaviour, thinking and emotions. I use creative visualization, relaxation and hypnosis to create a window through which to view ourselves and in the process gain clarity and understanding. Compassion, curiosity and creativity are the foundational pieces to my process of psychotherapy.

Psychological freedom comes not from the lack of so called "negative" emotions, instead it comes from the ability to understand their source and use their strength appropriately. Challenges often come either from the denial of difficult emotions, or from allowing emotions too much control. Confusion or uncertainty around how to interpret our emotional self creates difficulties in our day-to-day lives, our relationships, our confidence. Let me show you how even extreme anxiety such as OCD or generalized anxiety, anger, jealousy, depression, and even PTSD symptoms can be managed through Emotion Focused Therapy.

Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health problems through a collaborative relationship between an individual and their psychologist. Through psychotherapy, an individual learns about their thoughts, behaviors, feelings, moods and overall condition by talking to a psychologist about them. At Valiant Recovery, our psychotherapy methods are aimed at discovering the underlying issues that spawn addiction and substance abuse, such as grief, trauma and mental illness. All of our therapists have masters degrees in social work or counseling, as well as extensive experience treating addiction and substance abuse disorders.

Hate to break it to you but.....the one size fits all method of psychotherapy doesn't work. Everyone is different and so should their therapy be. My approach to therapy is rooted in a client centered perspective, which means we will run with whatever resonates with you! I also firmly believe in building a solid trusting relationship in therapy. When a person knows they are heard, not alone and cared about - life gets better. I'm also really fond of humor in therapy and... I think I'm funny - consider yourself warned.

Our psychotherapy services are effective in helping clients meet their goals and live a happier, more meaningful life. Psychotherapy can be brief and solution focused, or more depth oriented, to help you explore the underlying factors causing distress and unhealthy patterns in your life. We will work with you to find the approach that best suits your needs and personality.

Psychotherapy includes a more long-term exploration into one's inner functioning, in order to make lasting change. While doing psychotherapy, I assist my clients to look into their inner life, which often includes looking back at family of origin issues or past relationships to learn how one has become who they are today, and then identifying areas where they would like to see change. We then work to shift these patterns of being to create a more fulfilling, peaceful life, with healthier choices.

I practice integrative psychotherapy, combining both knowledge from psychological theory of change along side our increasing understanding of neuroscience and neurological process of thought, behavior, and emotions. Through combining the science of psychotherapy with neuroscience (neuropsychotherapy) we can find meaning for your experience and distress that is supported by existing evidence.

Psychotherapy is a unique process of self-discovery in which the client investigates, accepts and experiences the inner workings of his/her mind with the trained support and reassuring guidance of the therapist. This relationship is a unique, unconditional tool for growth. Using emotion as a catalyst, clients, with their own efforts, are able to heal their wounds and make fulfilling long lasting changes in their lives.

Whether you are overwhelmed, lost, or struggle to make changes in your life - you have the ability to change, grow and move forward. Mallory's counselling techniques are derived from proven methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion focused therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy. Her holistic approach integrates all aspects of the person: physical, mental, and spiritual within their social and physical environment in a compassionate environment.

My approach to psychotherapy is that change takes time. I work long term with most of my clients so that they may realize "real" change in their lives. Psychotherapy to me, is more than counseling. Counseling tends to focus on techniques and solutions; however, psychotherapy is a process of change. This process will the experienced with me in the room and also during the time between sessions. The commitment to the process of change is crucial for successful results.

A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective psychotherapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to explore your presenting concerns and gain insights into how they came to be. I draw upon the knowledge gained from my extensive training and life experience in order to tailor a treatment plan just for you. Clients typically leave my sessions feeling lighter and with increased mental clarity. Not only do I provide support, but guidance on how you might handle your current situation.

Psychotherapy is a process of gaining an awareness of one's issues which leads to improving the understanding of one's issues. Following this, the process of psychotherapy is to follow through with some form of therapeutic action to either improve the awareness, increase one's understanding or resolve the issues that one originally came in to psychotherapy for.

Psychotherapy is a broad term that includes any kind of counselling support that helps alleviate mental and emotional distress. I am a registered psychologist, and I offer a compassionate and practical approach to counselling. When you come for counselling, I am there to listen to you and support you. You set your goals, and I help you find ways to achieve them. Depending on the individual and the issue, this can be short-term or long-term counselling support. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to increase self-awareness and personal skill-sets that can help you for life.

I use an object-relations theory to psychotherapy. This means that we explore your early attachments and experiences to determine the assumptions you have made about your life. This should help you understand who you are, why you do what you do, and what you can do differently. I generally do not lead clients with questions, but give you the space to explore your past and how it relates to your future. The potential benefit to you is more self-control, better self-awareness, and feeling more connected to yourself and your emotions.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

As a psychologist Tammy is trained in several different modalities of therapy including but not limited to: Non-directive & directive play therapy, Animal Assisted Therapy, divorce and separation counselling, behavior modification, art therapy, trauma treatment, psycho-eduction, parent training, filial play therapy, play therapy, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavioural therapy, and person-centered counselling. Her therapeutic work is holistic and integrates the body, mind, and emotions.

I use a theoretically integrated approach that combines humanist, cognitive-behavioural, narrative, gestalt, and interpersonal techniques. I use a supportive reality based approach that focuses on processing the after-effects of challenging experiences and moving towards greater personal responsibility, and active decision-making in relationships. My goal is to provide a safe environment in which to explore personal beliefs, decide whether they are accurate, and then adopt and practice new beliefs and behaviours.

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.
