Family Therapy in Courtice, ON

Hey there - As a therapy survivor myself, I know that it is often hard to reach out. I want to encourage you that I can relate, and also know that the first step to change comes with taking a courageous leap to work on your own goals! I am incredibly passionate about my role as a Registered Psychotherapist (with the CRPO). Life has had its share of ups and downs for me, which I believe have helped me understand my clients in a deeper level. I find a lot of joy out of those 'ah-ha' moments, when a client breaks free from what is holding them back, or finds healing on their journey. It's truly an honour to walk with every client!

My work with individuals and families began over twenty-five years ago. I have a Master of Divinity degree from Tyndale Seminary, Toronto, where I majored in Individual, Couple, and Family Therapy.

As a professional counsellor I have helped people with: loss and grief, couple conflict and communication, stress management, addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, parenting, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, life transitions, and self-esteem. An area of interest is working with families who have children with developmental differences.

I consider it a special privilege to be able to work with individuals, couples and families as they try to navigate the challenges that life can bring.

My approach is collaborative and I believe that a strong therapeutic connection creates a climate for change that can have lasting results.

Hello! My name is Holly, I've been a registered nurse for 23 years and I run a neurofeedback center called Nature’s Path healing center where we believe in holistic healing to end suffering. In today’s fast paced and unpredictable world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and “stuck” in patterns of thinking and behaving that hinder healthy mindsets. It is not unexpected that people are feeling more mentally and physically burnt out and unsure how to move forward to feel more balanced. Neurofeedback supports the brain in developing greater resiliency and flexibility and in general, the mind and body’s capacity for healing.

I am both a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) and a Registered Nurse. I have specialized training working with women during the perinatal period, I have additional training in supporting people with self-esteem, people-pleasing, shame, trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I believe for counselling to be successful, treatment must be centered on learning from and with each person, respecting and valuing their unique experiences, and learning what is important to them. While every person will have their mental health affected at some point in their life, some at multiple points, I believe mental health is achievable for all.
