Life can bring unexpected challenges, changes, and loss. I am committed to sitting with you where you are today.

We will work together to increase awareness and to identify and change old patterns, shift emotions and experiences held in your body, honour personal boundaries, and develop self-compassion. A significant loss at the age of 29 led me on a path to pursue grad school and yoga teacher training, before starting in private practice in 2016. I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years.

As parents, we are often challenged when our children are exhibiting challenging behaviour. We see them struggling with anxious thoughts, explosive outbursts, negative self-talk, separation anxiety, verbal or physical aggression, or having difficulty with peer interactions. Sometimes there are traumatic experiences, and our children can't put their experiences into words, but we see the impact on their ability to cope and thrive. As a registered clinical counsellor, I aim to help children and families figure out new ways of being, discover how they want to be different, and new ways to view their experiences.

Hello, my name is Terresa McKenzie. Having experienced working with youth, women, men and couples has provided me with an understanding of the unique perspectives of each person within a family system, as well as how the whole system works together. I value that people have layers which can conflict. My goal for our work together is to gently help my clients understand these layers in order to address them while holding self-compassion, because we all have histories and challenges and sometimes just need a different perspective from someone who can see our strength through vulnerability.

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart” writes Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This quote, though inspiring, leaves much unexplained. How do we transform our experiences of pain and suffering (i.e. anxiety, grief, depression, relationship discord) into the beauty of a deeper heart? Marcel Proust provides a clue, “We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full”. Thus, the transformation of suffering comes through full experience. In a society that tends to bury suffering, a guide specializing in unearthing its hidden potential is key.

Life is really challenging. You may lie awake at night, wondering how to handle all the pressures upon you. Your emotions swing wildly -- usually more down than up. Tears surge at odd times, and you feel suffocated by the heaviness in your chest. Or, you're experiencing problems in a relationship: with your spouse, your boss, or someone else whom you're close to. The strife and negative feelings that surround your relationship problems are draining you. You can't fix things on your own and you know you need help.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
