PeopleDo Health + Wellness provides an integrative approach to psychotherapy. We believe each client is unique and would not benefit from a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Treatment plans for psychotherapy are individually tailored to our clients so that they can apply tools or skills from various therapeutic modalities to best support themselves. If clients prefer to use a specific therapeutic technique in their treatment we encourage them to let us know. We do our best to incorporate client preferences into treatment.

If you choose to enter therapy, this is a place where you will be able to share and grow in a space that is caring, non-judgmental, supportive, safe and compassionate. You will benefit from building a strong relationship with the therapist by carrying over the skills you learn in this relationship into your other relationships, outside of therapy. You will be able to examine what is working and what is not working about your life, and what you want to change. You choose what is discussed. I am interested to understand your experiences, thoughts, and feelings and to help you feel more empowered, by guiding you to find new choices. We can work on childhood issues, if you wish.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

Psychotherapy has been found to be an effective form of aiding in your health & well-being. My goal is to help you to optimize your overall health as mental/emotional/spiritual wellness plays a key role in your physical well-being. I believe that the difficulties and challenges that you are struggling with are a normal and understandable reaction to damaging circumstances that you have been through. With my guidance and support I encourage you to explore these areas in your life that have been influenced and tap into your unique and innocent talents and strengths to work to overcome the harmful effects of those circumstances. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your unique needs.

Psychotherapy and/or counselling is seen as forming a relationship between a client(s) and therapist, to enhance and promote well-being and mental health of individuals, couples, or families. Counselling can be helpful for you if you are experiencing distress and difficulties associated with life events and transitions, decision-making, work or education, family and social relationships, and/or pre-existing mental health concerns. The client is the most important factor in this process of change and growth, while we work on current skills and strengths and implement new ones as well. Psychotherapy can be helpful to receive a diagnosis, assessment, and better understanding of your well being.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change. One of the primary benefits of psychotherapy, in my opinion, is that it should be a conversation like no other you've had before, creating a non-judgmental space where you can be truly open.

My practice is based on client centred approach drawing from various modalities such as EFT, DBT, SFT and CBT. I work with clients struggling with anxiety and trauma including childhood trauma, relational trauma and PTSD. I also deal with acculturation challenges of new immigrants and support parenting. I also have experience working with clients with BPD and addictions.

A psychotherapy process helps you find emotional support and new insight for your issues, for those bumps in the road that often crop up. Having an empathic, warm, respectful person who points out your blind spots and who listens to you can help you deal –and make sense—of the pressures and challenges you face. I use a blend of Client Centered Counselling, Gestalt Therapy and Family Constellations with cutting edge Energy Psychology Methods –especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)—tools to achieve freedom from anxiety, trauma, stress, breakup, grief, abandonment, anger, depression, diagnosis shock and feel calmer, breathe more easily and gain rapid symptom relief.

As a psychotherapist I use a person-centered approach to helping clients disentangle their thoughts, feelings and behaviours while setting a course toward using these three to move forward in a helpful, more fulfilling way. I make it my goal and empower clients to understand their inner and outer life and story in connection with others, so that they come to feel more confident and secure in their choices; choices that will bring more hope.

As a therapist, my role is to offer support and guidance to people seeking insight into the roots of their attitudes and behavioral patterns. My goal is to help clients use this knowledge to reclaim agency and power over these patterns to effectively change unproductive thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour patterns. I create a safe and none-judgemental space for individuals, couples, families, children (5-12), and teens to comfortably process and resolve the issues that keep them stuck and immobile. To this end, I employ a range of therapeutic techniques such as: CBT, Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Trauma Techniques, and Attachment based approaches.

I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to open up on all issues, even deeply buried ones (from early childhood to present), so I can get a sense of the whole picture, ask the right questions, and come up with an effective treatment plan. I’ve successfully worked with many individuals & couples who others had given up on, since they weren’t able to go deep enough. This has allowed me to especially help people who are struggling with emotional or sexual trauma, incest, abuse, porn or sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues & taboos & fears which trap them in shame. I’ve also helped couples heal from deep wounds such as infidelity and build stronger relationships.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and families in different categories of concern, which may include psychological health, couple & family difficulties and workplace struggles.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

Psychotherapy can be incredibly beneficial for people seeking to improve their mental and emotional well-being.

As a trained and empathetic Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I help clients gain valuable insights into their life challenges, uncover underlying issues, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By addressing deep-rooted emotional wounds and building emotional resilience, psychotherapy can lead to profound personal growth and self-awareness.

I work with professionals, therapists, executives, and healthcare specialists who have successful careers on paper but still feel unfulfilled in their personal and professional lives and their relationships. You may feel stressed, exhausted, or like you are just going through the motions of your life. Moreover, the pandemic may have played a role in driving you to re-evaluate your priorities. Anxiety, depression, or feelings of overwhelm may be at play and you may feel like you want a safe space to assess how you got to where you are today. I will work with you to explore your current relationships, family-of-origin issues, and support you in working through grief, loss, anxiety, or trauma.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.
