Therapists in Yukon

Appreciating the health benefits of my own therapy and self-development over many years adds a more fulsome scope of experience and skills to my therapy practice. Providing generalist counselling support for depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, low self-esteem, grief, poor personal boundaries, trauma (complex), suicidal ideation and family/parenting challenges.

My theoretical orientation and clinical approach is a client-centred, strengths-based integrated cognitive behavioral therapist incorporating positive psychology with an existential and humanistic lens. I believe that everyone is resilient and has the ability to make positive changes in their lives and the lives of others. I worked for ten years with marginalized individuals involved with the justice system who have experienced trauma, loss, crisis, addictions, sexual abuse, and violence. I work from a multicultural social justice lens with children, youth, adult individuals, family and couples.

Life can feel complicated, messy and often doesn't go as planned. I will hold space for you to examine and explore your experience, while also providing support, insight, and tools to help you reconnect to yourself and move through whatever challenges you may be facing. I work with individuals who have experienced or are experiencing the following: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Sexualized Violence & Abuse, Women’s Health (Endometriosis, PCOS), Chronic Pain, Body Image Issues, Relationship Issues, Addictions, Grief & Loss.

I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.

I work with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with complex needs involving addictions, mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and who have exhibited personality features such as borderline, or antisocial behaviours. I have worked with individuals with impulse dyscontrol, and other symptoms of executive function disinhibition. I like to work with individuals from a holistic perspective utilizing systems theory analyses; somatosensory, individual, family, community, society, and culture. If your are looking to make long-lasting, positive changes to your way of being in the world I can help you get there...

I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

Do you struggle with behaviours or substances that are keeping you stuck? Do you feel like you're not living up to your potential and want to be happier and healthier? Do you feel lost with where to go next? Do you wonder if life can be better? Now, more than ever, women and men are looking to improve their health and quality of life. I believe that change is always possible and see people living lives they never imagined. I offer support for those who feel stuck in behaviours and emotions.

Hi, I’m Allison and I’m glad you are here. Life can throw a lot of curveballs our way. Some days it can feel as though we are drowning in life stressors and caught in worrying spirals or experiencing task paralysis. Other days may feel doable but then a trauma trigger hits us, and we get stopped in our tracks. A counselling relationship can help us navigate through overwhelming and difficult life circumstances. Reaching out for help is hard but with a little bit of discomfort comes change and growth!

I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. I value you taking this first step with me, and want the rest to be a breeze! Whether you are dealing with one of the following listed issues or a few of them, the goal is to help improve your wellbeing. With 10 years of experience, I have obtained my Masters of Social work, certified in CBT l & II, certified in Trauma Informed Care, ASIST certified, and an active membership/license with the social work regulatory body. Currently, I am the primary therapist for the online practice - Counselling For Men.

I work mainly with challenges faced by women and children related to immigration and reintegration in another country, addiction, mental health, marginalization and relationships. My number one goal is to meet people where they are at and walk along with them on their journey towards a more rewarding and fulfilling one, where they can resolve or gain a different perspective on their situation, and is and learn new skills to help them through life. Clients strengths are highlighted and they are motivated to develop autonomy and confidence in their ability to make important decisions that affect their wellbeing.
