Every single one of us experiences life from a unique lens, which is influenced by the various factors in our day-to-day lives. But sometimes, our lens becomes cloudy, making it feel as though we can’t see which direction we’re going. That's where I come in. My approach to psychotherapy focuses on helping clients gain clarity, overcome barriers, and experience positive transformative change towards mental and physical wellness. This is achieved through collaboratively working with clients and providing them with skills, resources, and a safe space to be their true selves.

I additionally work with couples to help improve relationships struggling with infidelity, trust issues, communication issues, blended families and parenting conflicts.

Individual Counselling is a process through which I meet with clients one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. We work collaboratively to explore their feelings, beliefs, values and behaviors. My clients seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons including coping with perimenopause/menopause, working through grief and loss issues, dealing with depression or anxiety, family of origin challenges or simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. I may meet with a client for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the their unique needs and personal goals for therapy.

I recognize that we are all unique and that everyone is the expert of their own situation. I am merely a guide to help work through challenges and accomplish goals.

Life is difficult. Complex circumstances hit us all, often resulting in a diminished ability for us to live life to its fullest.

We offer a safe, non-judgmental and empathetic environment, nourishing hope and healing, in which the whole person is valued, affirmed and empowered, not just to survive but to thrive.

Are you or someone you are caring for facing changes that are causing you stress, anxiety or depression? Perhaps your doctor or another Health Care Practitioner has encouraged you to seek therapy. Adjusting to a new health diagnosis, changes to work, retirement or new living situations can create difficulties that impact your well being. Dealing with grief and cumulative loss can feel insurmountable. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may be experiencing extreme burden or burn out and feel unsupported and isolated. It can be difficult to determine what community supports are available or how to plan for the future.

Shalyn Dussiaume-Good is a Registered Psychotherapist and is currently working with a wide variety of clients with varying life issues. Her therapy models include using CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
