Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

I work with children of all ages, their families as well as individual adults. My therapeutic practice incorporates a diverse set of theories including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Child Play Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Approach.

Hi, I'm a registered social worker and my practice draws upon various approaches to find a fit that works for you. I work in a way that respects your individuality, where you come from, your inherent skills and value. I aim to help people live joyful, fulfilling lives despite the challenges they may have experienced. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, which is a powerful approach that can be used with very little talking if someone prefers not to talk much. Brainspotting is similar to EMDR, but more person-centered, and can quickly and effectively result in change for a variety of emotionally and bodily based conditions.

I identify as a migrant of colour psychotherapist, practicing an Intersectional, Integrative, just approach to therapy that invites, and affirms the many dimensions that one holds, and bring to the therapeutic container as an individual (body, mind, and spirit), as part of a collective (community, family, chosen family, etc.) and as part of/ impacted by many systems of power (social location, privilege, disadvantage, etc.). I support with: feeling stuck, shame, repeated patterns, bullying, exploring gender, and sexual identity, relationships, boundaries, communication, parenting, affirming one's child gender/sexuality, and more.

I love working with children, teens, adults, couples and families! I am not your typical therapist. Clients have told me I am easy to talk to and they don't feel judged. I have experience working with all issues and would love the chance to work with what ever issues are in the way of living the life you want!

Life is full of obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we feel stuck in how to move forward. In counselling, you and I can explore how to feel unstuck in order to move forward. I work with issues that stem from anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, self esteem, depression, imposter syndrome. We can work on goals that range from how to expand on your coping skills, to explore what is working, what isn't and reasons behind that. We can work on ways on how you can grow in your self awareness in order to live a richer and healthier life.

Truth, Healing & Reclaiming your identity, are goals I want you to achieve. The stories we tell ourselves influence how we: perform in relationships; view ourselves, & make sense of our experiences of the world around us. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experience has provided me an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination sexual orientation, ability & such impact us. I want to carefully consider the impacts of each with you.

I believe connection is crucial in our lives and when our connection to ourselves and others is suffering, life can feel lonely and dark. Therefore, my practice is dedicated to helping people find the light in their life again. Whether that light is found through deepening and healing the relationship with yourself or with a partner/family member, I provide a safe and transparent environment for you to do the work you need to. Helping individuals, couples and families apply the awareness they have gained towards making positive changes in their lives is something I never tire of - I love what I do!

I work with individuals, couples and families from all walks of life, ages, sexualities, gender identities, abilities and belief systems. I practice from an anti-oppressionist position and value equality in and out of the therapy space.

Our therapists work with children, youth, and adults of all ages experiencing mental health difficulties relating to anxiety and stress, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, and more! We have a variety of therapists and counsellors that can meet you or your child's therapeutic goals; including credentials in Master's of Social Work and Master's of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Each therapist has specialties and qualifications that can assist in helping you or your child achieve a better sense of self, increase coping skills, and address mental health concerns to feel better.

I consider it a privilege to work with people who want to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. It's natural to seek help when struggling with low mood, unhealthy habits or difficulties getting along with the people around us. Individuals might want to focus on coming to terms with unexpected change or dealing with past trauma. Couples sometimes need help communicating or understanding their relationship dynamics. These are all issues that can be dealt with in a therapeutic setting.

I believe that the quality of our relationships impacts the quality of our lives. We inherit things from our family of origins and have various things happen to us, but we can change our responses and focus on what we can control in our present day. We can recognize the experiences we are having and actively choose something different than what we know from past conditioning or patterns. If you are feeling stuck in some area of your life and want to explore that, I would be happy to hear from you.

Helping children, youth, young adults and immigrants heal and grow is what I love to do. I have experience working with a range of mental health and trauma-related issues. I’ve worked with children, youth, and young adults who have gone through neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I have also worked with individuals diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, attachment disorder, depression, anxiety, and global developmental delay. I have experience helping individuals and families with daily life matters and skills-building to crisis situations.

Healthy relationships (including the one with ourselves) are necessary for humans to thrive. What characterizes a healthy relationship, and what influences our ability to participate in them is explored in therapy. Human beings crave attachment and connection but also engage in behaviors that can be hurtful and damaging. Therapy is about healing from the past, learning about boundaries and the process of repair, understanding patterns, self reflection, and working towards goals that are aligned with our values, desires, and needs. I am passionate about working with people of all walks of life who want to create meaningful change.

Do you find yourself acting in ways that don’t fit your values or beliefs or responding to situations in ways that seem irrational to you? Sometimes this is due to unresolved past issues and sometimes it is due to habits developed in previous life situations that are no longer useful but have not yet been changed. I can help you to get your heart and mind on the same page in order to move forward with your life goals. If trauma, depression, anxiety or chronic pain are in the way, I can provide tools to manage these and therapy to help heal the roots of these.

No issues are too challenging to be solved. On the contrary, issues persist because we lack the requisite knowledge and strategies to fix them.

In addition, we provide a neutral ground for individuals, families, and couples to narrate their stories in a non-judgmental way. We believe that our clients can heal themselves. Our job at Eagles Alternative Therapy is to empower our clients.

Witnessing people in their vulnerability is sacred work, in and beyond the therapy room. Everyone deserves to feel held and seen in this process by a practitioner who honours their identity, who embodies their values, and isn't afraid to swim in the deep with you.
