Find a Therapist in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia.

Exploring your past and present experiences with a compassionate professional can provide a safe atmosphere for intrapersonal exploration, allowing you to understand yourself better. When we understand ourselves, our relationships and habits become clearer, leading to new possibilities for the future. Self-awareness brings increased satisfaction in relationships with self and others, as well as enhancing our ability to make confident decisions and move toward our goals.

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.

In Psychotherapy, a deeper dive into your past to understand why you may feel. Think and act in a certain way that is not helpful to you. There will be lots of investigation into early childhood, beliefs, and assumptions made that no longer serve you. There will be a link between early environment and learning, how you coped, and how that may play out in your life in the present in how you think, feel, and act. This incorporates a blend of many counseling models. My most frequent question will be, " What happened to you?"

Throughout my life and educational career, I have learned the benefits of understanding how our brain and body develop and impact each other. The brain is like any other body part - when injured or not functioning properly, it requires proper attention and care to heal and strengthen it back to a higher functioning state. It is with this knowledge that we can begin to understand ourselves and our own reactions more. My goal is to help you find a path towards self-compassion and a clearer sense of self, while also working together to seek out alternative solutions to create a healthier mindset.

Psychotherapy is a deeper subset of counselling, that works to discover and identify longstanding patterns and themes by which an individual views the world and their life. We all have a sense of how the world works, but rarely do people shift their awareness to a particular theme and explored how it impacts their life. In doing so, one is able to explore new ways of interpreting their past, present experiences, and future choices.

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 is otherwise known as talk therapy. I use this interactive approach of talk therapy (psychotherapy) as a supportive framework and also a constructive way to help people deal with the problems in their lives. We set goals, which are talked about and discussed in therapy with the use of techniques, so that solutions are identified and people know what to do and how to navigate the difficult issues in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Family Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy are specific approaches in psychotherapy used to support and assist clients to meet their goals.

Do you feel overwhelmed by navigating life's challenges? Do you find yourself confused or unfulfilled with your relationships? Taking time to talk about your difficult feelings in a safe and confidential place can help resolve some of the burdens you may be carrying. This process is collaborative and we try to explore how these burdens are impacting the quality of your life and what it takes to overcome this rough patch. My approach to counselling is deeply rooted in Mindfulness-based techniques, Adlerian, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds. Many issues we face in life are deep rooted in our childhood or resulting from traumas we have survived and need to be addressed to be truly free and achieve peace and serenity. I will help you learn to live a vital, rich meaningful life and overcome any mental health issues.

Psychotherapy is an interactive process between a clinician and a client. By examining and challenging thoughts, feelings and behaviour, one can affect change, solve problems and reach maximum potential. As a clinician, I help to facilitate this process by implementing interventions such as Neurofeedback (NFB), EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). NFB retrains your brains ability to act rather than react. EMDR is a powerful tool that goes to the roots of barriers to functioning by affecting neural processes with eye movements. CBT allows you to actively engage in examining your thoughts and behaviours to effect change.

Dr. Rochefort's practice is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which suggests that our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions are driven by conscious and unconscious motivations. He also has expertise in a diverse range of approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Dr. Rochefort's areas of expertise in psychotherapy include trauma, violence, personality disorder, treatment of offending behaviours, eating disorders, stress, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. He works with individuals and couples, and with adults and adolescents.

During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors.

As a therapist, I work with individual adults and with couples to heal emotional wounds, both within the individual and within the couple.

I have specialized training in both trauma, and couples therapy, both of which help me to help you.

My commitment to confidentiality, empathy, and active listening fosters a trusting therapeutic relationship, empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges.

My counselling approach always begins with building a trusting working relationship. I believe in being genuine, open-minded, non-judgmental and empathic. I understand that it takes courage to reach out for help. By doing so, you are half way there! My goal as a Counsellor is to begin working with clients where they presently are in their lives, listening to their life stories and processing with them any trauma or stress they might have experienced. Moving forward from there, we address current issues and work together to outline what clients want to change. Both intrapersonal and interpersonal difficulties are addressed. I am open to using a variety of different therapeutic approaches.

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.

Not recognizing yourself when you look in the mirror is painful. Not recognizing the person you once fell in love with and losing yourself in a relationship is painful. As an individual, or a couple, I can help you find hope. I can help you see a future – one with genuine smiles. All you have to do at this point is book a free consultation to take the first step toward healing.

Together as a team, we can help you become the best version of yourself and create a life that highlights what you value most. We are always learning and self-discovery is one of the first steps to self-improvement.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a journey into the past. So much of what our brain takes in, and accepts as truth, enters the brain subconsciously. Exploring past life experiencing and allowing oneself to fully chew them up (so they can be properly stored and not triggered at in opportune times), is often essential to moving on. This is often a particular issue with childhood trauma. Nothing is as rewarding as seeing one of my clients push through an unconscious block and be able to get on with their life again.

Psychotherapy is another word for counselling. The main feature of counselling is that clients tell their story, and are validated and not judged by the counsellor.In all of my professional development courses I have heard over and over again that the counselling relationship is the healing tool for the client. Being heard and not being judged are what helps clients heal.Counselling/psychotherapy can be absolutely life changing!!
