Find a Therapist in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.

I envision psychotherapy as a growth process. I know the medical model well; I just don't center my therapeutic approach on treating diseases. I treat people. Rather than diagnose-treat-cure, my model is connect-interact-become. It's a personal growth model. The willingnesss to permit a professional to facilitate your personal growth is not a disease; it's an accomplishment.

I integrate multiple approaches in my practice. Approaches may involve learning practical skills and strategies, experiencing avoided emotions, evaluating and challenging negative thought patterns, processing trauma, or resolving internal conflicts. Treatment types may evolve and shift, and progress is monitored to ensure that your goals are being met.

Sometimes the angst we feel doesn’t have a definable problem, we just know that life feels off, and long for it to feel better. Through talking with a therapist insights into yourself, and compassion for your pain emerges. Through this process you learn to see your past and yourself differently and a new way of being in the world emerges. Old unhelpful ways of living erode and are replaced with healthier more hopeful perspectives.

Psychotherapy leads to in-depth understanding about ourselves. This understanding is prerequisite to engaging intimately with others and having conscious control over our needs are reactions. The therapeutic relationship established is the context where psychological change is possible. Psychotherapy is appropriate for both long-tern and short-term healing.
