Living Well's approach to psychotherapy is research-based and holistic. Because we attend to the current needs of clients, in addition to their long term goals, therapy tends to have greater long lasting results. Symptom management is important, and can be accomplished with CBT based interventions, but lasting results from therapy are also key. Far too many people seek therapy only to have it 'not work' or work just temporarily. For a holistic, strength based, research informed approach, Living Well is the ideal place to seek help.

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.

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

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.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

By using an integrated approach, I have access to many different theoretical orientations that allow me to be prepared for whatever client may come through my door. Through a holistic lens, I take into consideration variables from many different areas, and by doing so, I learn about my clients as wonderfully complex and layered individuals who have their own unique needs. Through collaboration and feedback I work together with my clients to ensure that they are getting what they need during their time in counselling.

I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want. Together we will define a meaningful life, which will guide you in overcoming your challenges. You will learn to live in the present, a powerful step since changing the present allows us to heal the past and define the future. Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together. Change is difficult, but I hope that you choose to give yourself the gift of choosing what you want for yourself and your relationship.

Using a personalized approach tailored to you, I help you discover what you need to flourish. As an engaged and empathetic listener, I provide a caring, supportive space to experiment and experience changes in action, thoughts, and belief. With access to a variety of techniques from several different models for therapy (CBT, DBT, IPT, REBT, Rogerian), people seeing me have consistently experienced greater life and relationship satisfaction.

Psychotherapy sounds complicated. It does not need to be. It occurs when two people talk it can be effective or ineffective. With a combination of experience, education and practice a therapist can help create a therapeutic encounter that is beneficial and effective for a person. Raue, Goldfried, & Barkham, (1997) highlight how the therapeutic relationship is key to a client progress or engagement in therapy. It is my desire to create a space where this relationship can grow and be beneficial to my clients.

Therapy using a variety of methods can help you experience relief from distressing symptoms and resolve, or learn to deal with, problems of life. In an accepting relationship I facilitate healing by listening to your unique story and by sensitively helping you work through deeply personal, and often highly uncomfortable, topics. Even though the tendency is to resist anything that is painful, when you feel what you have been trying to avoid and discover insight about what has been causing your personal and/or relationship difficulties, you are better able to make the changes you want.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

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.

My psychotherapeutic approach utilizes an integrative method in order to help guide client's toward their goal while also addressing the underlying issues. By addressing underlying issues, such as motivation and emotional experiences, the client will have further lasting change and growth. Client's will benefit from this use of both short and long term methods by experiencing immediate benefit and long term help.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

Are my personal and emotional struggles, anxiety, and depression just “all in the mind” or is there a biological basis to it? Most psychotherapy theories only focus on the “mind” and often fail to address the biological causes and treatment of mental illness. As a psychopharmacologist, Dr Mervin is uniquely equipped to counsel people with mental disorders concerning all their antidepressant and medication-related issues. His integrative approach recognizes the importance of biological (medical & pharmacological), psychological (emotions, cognition's and behavior), social (family and community), and spiritual (faith and religion) factors.

Contrary to popular psychology, believing that just the right psychological theory, intervention and technique will act like a health-care “magic pill” that can make one’s worries suddenly disappear is mistaken. Most of the therapeutic change that happens during psychotherapy is due to the therapeutic alliance: rapport, relationship and resources. Rapport is about the connection the client and therapist feel for each other. Relationship is about the constructive cognitive/emotional exchanges and trust that a client and therapist build up over time. Resources are about how the therapist helps the client activate their existing emotions, thoughts and behaviours in service to healthy change.
