Through individual therapy, I can help one to address personal, educational, and professional challenges by way of identifying the issues, and exploring solutions. My goal is to see the individual discover their own skills and strengths and to combine this with learned strategies in order to transfer problem-resolution abilities from therapy over into their daily living activities. I an help you with: Depression, Anxiety Relationship challenges Anger & stress management Unresolved childhood issues Trauma/Abuse Unhealthy strategies Grief & Loss Parenting challenges

My approach to psychotherapy is founded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but also blends other therapies. I will teach you the basics of the type of therapy that is most relevant to your problem. We will then work to apply the therapy to your specific issue. We will practice the skills that are taught and you will be given work to do at home. You will then report back about how the strategies are being implemented at home to allow us to tweak the skills to have them work best for you! Ultimately, you will be much better at managing your own issues independently!

As a psychotherapist I have long experienced that it is precisely through the process of verbalizing thoughts that my clients are able to gain a clear sense of their reality--words clarify the vagueness of ideas. And once a reality is expressed, then a client can move toward acceptance of that reality and toward understanding of how to shape that reality in a way that best meets their needs and aspirations.

I am eclectic, psychoeducationally based therapist. While borrowing on the classic of Cognitive behavior therapy, I also have a strong influence from Attachment theory, and Emotions Focussed Therapy. Therapy with myself for whatever interpersonal problem, personal problem, or state of mood will find you, the client experiencing a friendly discussion about the issues, in a non judgement and non contemptuous fashion. Therapy is always goal directed, there are NO secrets and I share my thoughts. Integrating these models in an educative fashion allows me to explore without being boxed in the clients history and realize goals for personal change, situational change or structural change.

Psychological treatment involves a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of current psychological symptoms, and psychotherapy that addresses the root causes of a specific psychological disorder. Research affirms that individuals do improve as a result of psychotherapy, particularly when they are committed to the process. In an initial session, your mental health professional will work with you in a collaborative fashion to identify treatment goals. He or she will also collect basic demographic data, obtain your consent to the treatment you are to receive, and inquire as to any questions you may have about the course of treatment that has been discussed.

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.

The most effective psychotherapy, the most immediately “real” experience of this interaction, is that of an emerging authentic self from within each client. Each of us is comprised of an authentic self and a false self. The false self is made up of the various masks, roles, defense structures, and the like, that we adopted as children in order to “fit in” and navigate the family system we were each parachuted into at birth. One’s authentic self is thus, necessarily, hidden from view. The more unhealthy the family system, the more defenses are required, thus the more the authentic self is compromised, hidden. Indeed, our authentic self may feel threatening, to all that we have “known”.

Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health problems through a collaborative relationship between an individual and their psychologist. Through psychotherapy, an individual learns about their thoughts, behaviors, feelings, moods and overall condition by talking to a psychologist about them. At Valiant Recovery, our psychotherapy methods are aimed at discovering the underlying issues that spawn addiction and substance abuse, such as grief, trauma and mental illness. All of our therapists have masters degrees in social work or counseling, as well as extensive experience treating addiction and substance abuse disorders.

It has always been my belief that no particular therapy is equally applicable to every client, and so use a variety of methods based on the client's needs. It's my belief that one of the fundamental pieces missing from most approaches to human psychology is that the spiritual aspect is ignored, and so work with clients also combines a spiritual perspective where appropriate and desired. I work with clients on various issues, but have found that mindfulness exercises have a tremendous and positive impact and have used this approach with clients for close to 20 years. I look forward to working with you...

What does Tracy do in session? In my therapeutic practice, I provide confidential sessions where I will walk you in your discovery of finding your inner resources. I believe that through exploration growth can occur. I facilitate this inner growth by using a client-centred approach to talk therapy, also known as person-centered therapy. This is a collaborative approach between the client(s) and the therapist, in which the client has an opportunity to develop their sense of self. As the client(s) have an opportunity to develop their sense of self, they often realize how their thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviours can be affected and altered.

I can help you on your journey to find: • Hope & confidence that you can resolve your issues. • Clarity & solutions to your problems; • Your hope in times of crisis; I offer counselling approaches such as: • Relaxation excercises; • Cognitive therapy; • EMDR which helps overcome anxiety, stress & tauma;. • EFT which positively shifts our thinking and modifies our anxiety response; & • Sandtray therapy which offers a unique non-verbal form of healing. By acknowledging you have a problem, and want to find a solution, you are much closer to resolving it. I serve adults, & young adults 16 and over and seniors. I am here to help.

For over 25 years I have been working with individuals and couples to help them with their particular issues and problems so that they may achieve emotional health as well as relationship and career goals. Each client has a unique situation and set of issues, be it anxiety, stress, depression, substance abuse, grief, personal growth, relationship issues, aging, illness, etc ; each problem has a unique set of tools and strategies to select for its solution. Together we will meet and identify the problem(s); I will propose a treatment plan and together we will discuss the plan as well as determine whether the match between therapist and client is a solid one in order to move forward.
