My masters program was called Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy. I had 3 years previous to that in a counselling undergrad that focused heavily on building a spiritually integrated foundation for theoretical approaches with clients. During those formative years developing as a professional and discovering who I wanted to be as a counsellor, I realised that I was made to serve and model with high integrity, a compassion for my clients that would stand out in their lives; that I had the privilege to be a small seed along their journey to well being. I look forward to walking with you, building a wonderful relationship through the hard times and the celebration of successes. You are worth it!

As a holistic therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and discover greater confidence and self-awareness along your journey. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Individual psychotherapy is a strong point for Rhonda. She draws on many evidence-based techniques and approaches to ensure that people are guided through a healthy process of self-discovery and growth. She addresses the full range of problems, engaging a useful level of psychological testing and making referrals as necessary and appropriate. Her approach is gentle and clear.

Talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes isn't enough. Awareness, growth, healing and empowerment can happen on many levels: emotionally, physically, psychologically, energetically, spiritually and relationally. The Refuge's approach is holistic and integrative, a combination of mind-body, somatic, mindfulness, emotion-focused, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioural, expressive arts, and nature-based traditions, etc. Our team of psychotherapists is unique in the region, and emphasizes trauma healing and resolution, emotion regulation, relationship repair, and touch/table work, grounded in neuroscience, somatics and attachment theory: www.healingrefuge.com

When you feel overwhelmed by your problems and unable to cope, you may benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy I provide, helps with a range of different challenges: from depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar and low self-esteem to addiction and family conflicts. In the process, you’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way, understand yourself better, your own goals and values, develop skills for improving relationships and overcome specific problems such as eating disorder, depression or phobias among others. I work from a variety of modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution focused, family therapy

I believe that the key to successful psychotherapy is the development of a positive therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and multi-faceted—drawing on techniques from Narrative Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Attachment Theory, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. I believe that there is ‘more going right with a person, than wrong’ and that the work we do together is to find and explore the strengths and supports that you already have, as you work on the issues that brought you to therapy.

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.

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...

Looking for a longer term approach to working through difficulties? As with counselling, psychotherapy involves a therapist and client working together to develop effective coping mechanisms and improve functionality; unlike counselling, psychotherapists dig deeper, exploring patterns of behaviour that have lead to where a person finds oneself in life.
