My approach is eclectic, stemming from a psychodynamic base which considers both conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves, and expanding to incorporate interpersonal and structured approaches depending on the particular situation. At the heart of the process is the respectful connection between client and therapist as we collaborate together. We work as curious co-investigators gradually understanding the complex layers of the issues at hand as well as elements beyond initial awareness. The aim is to feel more free of one’s troubles, operate from a base of choice, able to take any necessary actions, and enjoy life more fully.

I work with a wide variety of issues including relationship challenges, self-confidence, identity, family-of -origin struggles, work or career stress, issues with disordered eating, parenting, adjustment to adult ADHD, infertility, adoption, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, aging, and life transitions.

I provide confidential therapy in my Winnipeg office and on-line. I also offer a half hour consultation free of charge by telephone. Feel free to call or send an e-mail to discuss your situation and consider the possibility of therapy. website:www.jdsmiththerapy.ca

Groups

long term women's group

Hosted by

Joan-Dianne Smith

My weekly women’s’ group has been running for the past fifteen years. This group is for women who, despite being bright and accomplished, have some degree of dissatisfaction in their personal lives. Members work on relationship issues, tolerating and resolving conflict, and developing a stronger sense of self. This group is typically full with only occasionally vacancies. But if you are interested in exploring this option, please contact me to discuss the possibility.

Therapists Group

Hosted by

Joan-Dianne Smith

This group has been meeting for close to a decade, and it provides an opportunity for personal growth and exploration of group dynamics for high functioning people who are therapists for others. Therapists examine their own life issues as well as their impact on others in the here and now process of the interactions in the group. Some key agreements are necessary to provide a safe and confidential culture where people can speak freely about personal issues. This group is usually full with only occasional vacancies, but that said, if you are interested in this possibility, send me an email.
