Therapists in T8N

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. Everyone deserves a chance to feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are. For many people, therapy is a space to finally experience feeling understood. When we’re in the thick of a difficult transition or struggling to keep up with the challenges life throws at us, it can be so hard to make sense of the painful feelings, thoughts, and habits that arise. My job is to work together with you to understand your story, discover your strengths, and work toward your goals.

I have 14 years of experience in trauma-informed approaches, including somatic experiencing, focusing, art therapy, psychedelic-assisted therapies and addictions work. I create a warm and caring container for effective healing. I can support you to establish an internal sense of safety, manage stress, find inner balance, express your needs and wants, and move forward with clarity . I will be respectful, transparent, and offer you educational resources and homework as requested. You will acquire life-long tools to become your own best therapist.

Everyone feels stuck from time to time. Together we can develop the skills and strategies to work towards the future you hope for. Whether you're interested in counselling or sport/performance psychology, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to help you feel stronger and healthier, and do what you do better. Overall, the healthier and more balanced we are mentally and emotionally, the better we tend to perform in our lives. As a Registered Psychologist, I believe that being proactive in your personal development and well-being can make the present more manageable and set up a strong foundation for the future.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you experience intrusive negative thoughts that don't let you live the life you want to? Does your internal voice tear you down on a regular basis causing you to feel like you will never be good enough? Do you struggle with low mood, a lack of motivation, or heightened feelings of anxiety and or panic? Or, maybe you or your child are experiencing outbursts and behaviors that you can't seem to get under control, no matter how hard you try. These difficulties can be resolved and you don't have to struggle on your own. There are many strategies and coping skills that can help.

Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a licensed and registered Counselling Therapist, Psychotherapist, and Clinical Counsellor with various certifications on top of formal education. Thanks for stopping by! I know it can be difficult to find the right fit and I welcome you and your story as you are. I work with children, youth, and adults dealing with Anxiety, ADHD, BPD, Depression, Trauma, Grief and Loss, with years of experience using evidence based approaches and therapies such as CBT, DBT, Existential, Narrative, Coaching and Person Centered, to name a few. Having someone to listen and support you at the pace right for you matters.

Feeling anxious or depressed can get in the way of your work and personal life. You might have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, low motivation, and suicidal thoughts. You might find yourself crying often, feeling on edge and easily frustrated. You may prefer to be alone and find it exhausting to respond to friends or family. It can feel like a chore to get up in the morning, and life can feel like more than you can manage. Daily tasks can become overwhelming to tackle, and you may feel shame and guilt about it all. Instead, imagine feeling confident, happy, and enjoying life. The right therapy can lead to these goals.

Have you recently been struggling and feel like you could use some extra support? Do you have a hard time coping with how you are feeling? Are you feeling alone or struggling in the relationships in your life? Are you struggling with trauma you have experienced? Are you having a hard time sleeping? If you answered yes to any of these questions it may be time to seek out counselling in a safe and caring environment. Together we can create a plan to build on your strengths, and gain new resources and tools to assist you with your struggles. It is my desire to help you increase your hope, joy, and meaning in your life.

Whatever you are facing today, I welcome the opportunity to journey with you. I offer compassion, empathy and a safe place for you to explore, challenge, question and process whatever you are experiencing.

You have things that you would like to achieve - big or small, but feel stuck and unmotivated. You constantly say the words "I should" but don't take any action. You know it would be beneficial to move towards your goals but you continue procrastinating and beating yourself up about it. Your "to-do" list is getting larger and larger and you feel farther and farther away from your goals. ​

Do you want to reclaim agency over your life or your sport and to rediscover a sense of joy, meaning, and wholeness? Are you motivated not only by a desire to alleviate your symptoms but also by a deep longing to cultivate a more vibrant and fulfilling existence? If you are someone who is ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth—a journey that is both challenging and deeply rewarding—then I am privileged to accompany you on as your therapist.
