Find a Therapist in Stratford, Ontario.

Psychotherapy quite literally means the cure of the soul. For this to happen so much is dependent not only on the therapeutic modalities that a therapist uses, but also on the relationship. Healing and new learnings happen best when one experiences a therapist that is authentic, offers reflective listening, is compassionate in a non-judgmental environment. Call today to find out how Psychotherapy is right for you.

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one the most effective and well-researched therapy of our time. It is effective for self-esteem work, depression, anxiety (including OCD, PTSD, trauma, panic, phobia, etc.), addictions (including eating issues), couples, self-exploration, growth, etc. CBT explores how certain ways of thinking about the self, the world, other people and the future have been influenced by our expereinces and are maintained over time (answering "why"). By exploring alternative explanations for things and changing our thinking, people can change how they feel. CBT has been shown to be as effective as medications for some people and has shown very good results long term.

People often come to therapy to get rid of painful and difficult feelings. Rather than getting rid of our feelings, therapy is a skilled process of helping us understand ourselves so we can use our feelings to navigate our lives. Even the very painful feelings hold vital information for us to become sure-footed in our life. Just like in martial arts, we use the momentum of the attacker and redirect it to ensure our safety ; in therapy we use the information from the painful feelings to clarify what we need to create more safety in our lives so we can thrive. It's a valuable process of allowing our feelings to work for us to create satisfying joyful lives.
