You may find yourself dealing with challenges that have altered the structure of your life, as you knew it before.

These factors can trigger different emotions making us feel stuck or not able to move forward. My area of focus is diverse and includes; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, loss, unexpected life changes, crises, relationship issues, difficult family dynamics, health challenges, work, and school stress. My aim remains steadfast in helping clients find healthy ways to cope.

The last few years have seen us all experiencing a wide range of changes in how we live, work,
play
, and interact with each other. We have sometimes been required to limit our social connections and interactions completely. As a result, we may be experiencing more periods of sadness, loneliness and depression; or may be experiencing transitions in how we do our work and manage our family lives. And somewhere in all that is going on are the goals, hopes and dreams that you have for your life, but might have put aside as you have coped with all these changes.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Art Therapist. I believe that everyone should have access to holistic equity-based counselling. As such, I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and validating space for you to explore your mental health and lived experiences through traditional talk therapy with the option of art and the art making process. Sometimes words do not get our important thoughts and feelings quite right, and art can be a great way to explore what lies within. No art experience needed!

Counsellor, PhD, CCC, RTC, MTC, RCS

I am able to help the youngest of children feel safe again after they have experienced something very scary. I am also able to help children whose imaginations take them to scary places, so they respond as if it is real. I am able to transform the feelings of danger through
play
especially whilst playing in the sand. Talk therapy is limited to left brain thinking whilst my approach accesses right brain disorganised images and bodily responses. This approach is quick and extremely effective for children and adults of all ages.

Nancy Anne DeVries
Counsellor, MAMFT, RCC
Verified
Looking through the lenses of Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Emotion Focused , EFFT,
play
and developmental theories, I come alongside my clients with an ability to use creativity to approach areas of desired change and stuckness.
I believe that we are wired for connection, to the deepest part of ourselves, and to others. We all long to be seen and heard, yet it is often those closest to us that have hurt us the deepest. Naturally, we develop ways to keep ourselves safe from the potential hurt that can come with true connection. Part of journeying back to healthy connection often requires us to be with our painful stories long enough to look around and be open to learning its messages. My passion is to join with others on their journey by providing a safe place to experience difficult emotions and to find a healthier way forward.

Life is a journey with many ups and downs and sometimes we may feel like we are in a place where we are stuck and feel alone. Sometimes we may just need support in a big decision that we are facing.

Dearest You. Yes you. If you're feeling listless, defeated and directionless in your life's travels, it is important to pause, reflect and realign pathways. Often times, we aim our GPS to go toward lasting happiness and contentment , but we find that one route lands us elsewhere. If you, too, are derailed and lost in transit, allow me to heal and help in bringing you a few steps closer to yourself and your destination. Being naturally attuned to personal intuition, compassion and empathic qualities, I can offer genuine, positive support from a sincere place in my heart.

Play Therapy Counsellors
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counselling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
