I'm a clinical therapist & earth-based spiritualist. My work reclaims healing practices that existed before modern systems, honoring silenced wisdom keepers—particularly women, queer & trans seers. Inclusively, spirituality means being part of something bigger than ourselves—community, the seasons, physics, or simply being a human. We're great at being spirit, but no one taught us how to "do" being human well. Therapy is psychoeducation & processing what prevents these lessons from landing. Together we'll build life skills, understand your emotional landscape, recognize unhelpful patterns, set aligned goals, & learn when to hold on
Christiane Lalande, RSW - Grief & Trauma Specialist - IADC Therapist - Bridging Clinical Practice & Secular Spirituality - Online Only
This isn't clinical therapy stripped of soul, nor spiritual bypassing that ignores real healing. It's both—grounded in evidence & applied in an environment that invites belonging to something grander. I facilitate a return to healthcare that nourishes rather than extracts. The use of the IADC modality facilitates this brilliantly!
IADC processes the distress you feel in grief and allows you to enter a state of receptivity. This EMDR-based method shows that 79% of participants experience ADC; a felt experience/sensory connection with deceased loved ones. Regardless of if an ADC is experienced, all participants show improvements in their grief. Note: This is not mediumship or hypnosis.

By client request, I utilize the symbolism of Carl Jung's Archetypes through the use of Tarot and French Cartomancy. This honors the traditions of working-class marketplace card readers who kept these practices alive when they were dangerous to claim openly. The cards are a living language, transcending, inherently courageous and resilient - something I hope my clients find in their healing.
