Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Lakefield, ON

Hello! My name is Carly and I run a psychotherapy, neurofeedback and general wellness centre called Realign Wellness Centre that services individuals, couples and families. In today’s fast paced and unpredictable world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and “stuck” in patterns of thinking and behaving that hinder healthy growth and development. 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.

Everyone said that parenthood would be the most wonderful time. I feel like something is off, why don't I feel wonderful? Why do I feel sad or scared about this new baby? Why do I feel all alone? How come I'm having a hard time conceiving when everyone makes it look so easy? How come I lost my baby and all of my friends and family around me got to have their babies? All of these experiences can feel so isolating and you are looking for support in coping with the heaviness of it all.

Struggling with seasonal depression or tough transitions? Having, support, acceptance, empathy, education and guidance can help. None of us are immune to having bad days, rough patches, anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, relationship issues, and depression. As a counsellor, I use a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens and offer behavioral, narrative, and short-term solution focused practice to help with difficult times encountered throughout life. I enjoy empowering individuals to recognize their own strengths and find a way through the tumultuous life paths.

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

Have you suffered trauma and wonder if it’s possible to heal? Are you anxious and worried, struggling to cope? Do you push people away before they hurt you? Or chase after someone, terrified to lose them? Do you question your worth, sure that you will never be enough? Have you ever wondered “is there hope for me”? YES! There is hope! It is possible to heal, to learn how to have healthier relationships, to feel good about yourself instead of feeling bad. You can learn how to manage emotions so that anxiety doesn’t stop you from doing things you want to do. You CAN gain more control of your life and emotions and feel more confident!

Absence ALERT: I will be away April 11-15, 2024.

As a therapist, I strive to provide empathic, non-judgmental support to you as you navigate life's many challenges. I see you as the expert in your own life, and as such I will take a collaborative approach to our work together. I have a special interest in working with clients struggling with weight-bias, self-esteem, and body-image issues, however I see clients with a wide array of concerns. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help clients achieve a sense of peace and safety in their bodies, minds, and relationships.

Many of us form core identity features around significant injuries in our lives and learn to protect ourselves from similar kinds of pain. Over time, these protective features can become so complex that it can become difficult to know who we really are underneath those defences. Trauma, abuse, neglect, loss of loved ones - these are all major psychological injuries that can alter our self-image, beliefs, and life path. Therapy offers a space where these events can be acknowledged with the significance they deserve and allows us a chance to grow into greater integration with our experiences.

With over 30 years of experience as a therapist ,I am passionate about helping people. I focus on supporting people around improving their couple and family relationships, substance misuse concerns, managing mood/anxiety and stress. My therapy approach is collaborative, respectful and client centred. I strive to create a safe supportive environment for change. I work along side people to help them move forward in their lives, beyond the problems that keep them stuck. Through our work together my hope is that people will find new possibilities for living their life, improved quality of relationships and well being.

At times we may feel stuck, as if something is standing in our way of change, of wellbeing, and we feel like we are facing a roadblock to a more fulfilling life. We may also be undergoing or carrying experiences that; weigh us down, impact our relationships with ourselves and others, cause emotional pain, and blind us from seeing a better direction. Within a safe environment, we will build a relationship of trust and understanding together as a solid foundation. I believe you are the expert of your life, and you have the strengths and resources to achieve your goals. You will not be alone, I am here for you.
