Therapists in B4B

I work with individuals and couples 16 years of age and older. I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with relational issues, substance use, addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety and depression.

I am a Clinical Supervisor and Registered Counselling Therapist. I love to help people! That’s what moves and motivates me. I have thirty years experience as a Teacher, Vice-Principal, Principal and Counsellor in Nova Scotia’s school system and over twenty years as a Counselling Therapist in a thriving private practice. I provide therapy to adults, couples, families, adolescents and children within an open, confidential, BIPOC and LGBTQ positive environment. I use solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to implement effective strategies designed to work for you and/or your family.

I have a special interest in supporting clients in their journey towards parenthood, and building a strong early attachment relationship with their child(ren). Becoming a parent can challenge you in ways you had never imagined, both physically and emotionally. It is never too early to reach out for support. This is particularly true for individuals who have experienced fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth experiences, or are struggling with their own expectations of what it means to be a parent.

I am a registered clinical psychologist (candidate register) working with children, adolescents, and caregivers. I strive to collaborate with clients to reach their goals by using a client-centered, formulation-driven, and evidence-based treatment approach. I am passionate about supporting youth with mental health (e.g., anxiety, OCD) and health-related (e.g., needle fears, health anxiety, chronic pain) challenges. I take an integrated treatment approach, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Is it tough to stay balanced and positive during these difficult times? Are you and your partner feeling a disconnect? Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help! A world renown approach to individual or couples counselling that provides a safe, judgement free space, while improving connection. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) which assists in processing trauma. The natural healing process resolves unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain; EMDR speeds up this process!

Do you feel stuck? Or maybe a bit lost? Whether it is a long term problem or a sudden change in life circumstances, I'm here to help you navigate. By working collaboratively and compassionately with my clients, I help them process experiences that contribute to current physical and mental health problems.

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and my practice. My name is Sam, I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist (candidate) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and a professional member with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and that success in therapy is often associated to the therapeutic relationship. In my practice I believe everyone has the inherent capacity for growth, empowerment, and connection to self and others. As such, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen and heard.

I am a registered clinical social worker and I have had the pleasure of working with youth and families for over 20 years. I use a collaborative approach in treatment to individual youth and to families grounded in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Structural Family Therapy. These approaches respect the client/family and the therapeutic relationship. I support the values of the individuals and families and the expertise they bring while working together toward their desired goals.

I provide therapy for children and youth who are experiencing a number of life challenges, such as anxiety, stress, trauma or divorce. Children are ideal candidates for early intervention and lasting change is often realized in a short amount of time. In my work with teens, I use a holistic, mindful approach, offering them tools and guidance. Through exploring their life experiences, values and unique strengths, teens develop self-awareness, confidence and self-regulation. I work with adoptive children and families to create safe, loving attachments when there has been complex trauma and disrupted attachment relationships.

I view my role in therapy as that of a coach, who strives to help youth and their families to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, and offer treatment for anxiety, depression, coping with stress or life transitions, low self-esteem, behavioural challenges, and sleep difficulties. I also have expertise in working with youth experiencing challenges with chronic health conditions, medical and dental anxiety, medication taking, and pain.
