Find a Therapist in Wellington, Alberta.

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.

Psychotherapy can help when an individual feels life is awfully difficult. Moreover, psychotherapy can also make a straight life even better . Psychotherapy is suggested whenever a person is grappling with problems in life for example relationship issues, anxiety, anger or other mental health concerns, and these issues are creating the individual lots of hurt or upset for longer than a week. There may be exceptions to this common rule, but for the most of the cases, there is no harm in going into psychotherapy even if someone is not entirely confident that it would benefit from the counseling. I have vast experience working with marginalized and diverse ethnic, racial backgrounds people. My area of expertise includes Stress, Anger, depression,...(view profile to read more)

My approach to working with clients is a collaborative, client-centered approach. I use an EMDR therapy model which is an integrative approach to psychotherapy. This model addresses our mental, emotional, and physical experience. It is more widely accepted and understood that our mental health is interconnected with our physical health. It is important that we take a holistic approach to healing in order to be able to truly move forward and feel renewed and empowered. Within a safe and supportive environment, I will support you in a healing process that fits with your life experience and worldview.

Psychotherapy is an incredible opportunity to focus on you! In therapy I work collaboratively with each client to create and improve the treatment plan that is right for them. Each person is unique and deserves a personal and unique experience in therapy. I work with respect, integrity, honesty and openness to ensure that you are heard and valued, and to offer a special time and place to work on the things that are important in your life. This is the deep value of Psychotherapy! To enter into a helping relationship, free from judgment, with the opportunity to overcome life's challenges and to thrive!

Once we are able to recognize that challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress, it is important to talk with someone who can help. Together we will go on a journey where we will try to gain a deeper understanding of the stress and challenges you face. We will learn new strategies and tools that will help you to deal with that stress and challenges.

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.

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!

We have many different orientations represented at the clinic and can offer different perspectives.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

There are many different treatment methods that can be used to effectively treat mental health problems. I believe it is important as a therapist, that I find the best therapy to meet the unique needs of my client. I use a variety of treatment strategies that help meet the goals of my client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is very effective for helping clients with depression, anxiety and stress. Solution focused therapy taps into the clients own life experience, as they may be able to find their own solutions to life's problems. EMDR is a specialized type of trauma therapy that is effective for processing different types of psychological trauma, phobia's and addictions.

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.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy usually means longer more in depth treatment of issues. There is a an understanding that there is value in seeing a therapist on a regular basis as it give time for trust to develop and also allows the client the time to explore more deeply. It is also a recognition that somethings take longer to treat. One can meet weekly or bi-weekly or however frequently is appropriate. The practice of psychotherapy takes more skill and experience and usually means the therapist has had their own psychotherapy.

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.

Psychotherapy focuses on your relationship with yourself. Our most common problems have to do with inner conflict and with being unconscious of what is happening within ourselves. Through psychotherapy you will become aware of how the inner self signals the presence of these problems. Being aware of what is happening within us gives us the basis for making effective choices, relating in genuine ways to others and making positive and powerful choices in our daily lives.

Psychotherapy offers a process in which you are able to develop healthier ways of being in the world. Often through difficult life events you develop beliefs and habitual ways of interacting with others that keep you stuck in old patterns. Psychotherapy enables you to transform physical and emotional blocks that hinder you. You can create healthier beliefs and behaviours that lead to happier and more joyful interactions with yourself and others.
