Warm, safe connection and effective somatic therapy in Victoria, BC. After loss, trauma, or major periods of stress, I help my clients experience wellbeing and "come back" to themselves. Goals I can help you achieve include: daily emotional regulation, overcoming anxiety, finding purpose, bolstering self esteem, and improving relationships. My clients typically experience a marked increase in confidence, wellbeing, and self-control following our work together.
My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Somatic Therapy. I use a two pronged-approach to address stuck thoughts (like "I'm falling behind," or "I just don't belong,"), while tackling body sensations and emotions that get in the way of living well (like anxiety, grief, and anger). I also specialize in cancer and serious illness counselling.
I bring empathy and mindfulness to every one of my counselling sessions. You deserve a friendly presence to do this work with. Please see my website for service details, direct booking, and more. Free consultation is available. www.emilyschmittcounselling. com
