Hypnotherapists in L7L

I am an experienced Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist with a career spanning over 37 years. My dedication to helping individuals, couples and families navigate their mental health and well-being has made me a trusted source of support for diverse patient populations. My career has been particularly driven by my commitment to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals with psychological and psychiatric conditions, first responders, and their families, making me a valuable resource in their healing journey. I rely on evidence-based methodologies and offer a diverse range of therapeutic approaches.

EMDR is a therapy that has you focus on a trigger or trauma while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping or tones), leading to a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the incident. Thoughts, behaviours, feelings, traumas or environmental triggers may be maintaining your stress, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, or other issues. EMDR and other methods can improve your physical, emotional and psychological health and wellness to increase your sense of well‐being, alleviate feelings of stress, reframe negative thoughts, or work through any recent crises or past traumas.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers and I work with Individuals, Couples and Families. Interventions focus on acute and chronic symptomatic and characterological manifestations of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family conflicts, emotional dysregulation, self or other destructive behaviors, trauma & PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder and crises.

You are the "strong one". The leader at work, in your biz, in your family, or with your friends. You keep things to yourself because you don't want to "burden" the people you care about, but secretly wish you could run away, or that someone would step in and take care of things for you. You feel things deeply & have a vision for creating something big in the world but, over-empathizing, deep thinking, imposter syndrome, or anxiety, hold you back. Your self talk is crap & you just can't seem to get people to hear or understand what you're trying to say. You need a safe place to be real & vulnerable without judgement.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Welcome! I’m Maggie, a Registered Social Worker who deeply values connecting with people. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, holistic, integrative, and dialectic in nature: Encouraging you to accept yourself as you are, while simultaneously working to make changes to ways of being that are no longer serving you. In therapy, I aim to provide a comfortable venue for you to gain insight into, and discuss parts of your life that have become challenging and uncomfortable. Together we will discover new ways of being and behaving that are more useful for you.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.
