Seeking out therapy is not only for when you are in a state of crisis. Therapy can also be preventative when things are going well, proactive while going through challenging life transitions and reactive when distress starts impacting your daily life. I am ready to meet you where you are in your journey and support you to explore the past, to stand with you in the present and work with you towards future well-being. I believe in the importance of healthy relationships and a comprehensive approach, so welcome working with individuals, couples and families.

I understand what it's like to search for a therapist- we hope to find someone who feels like a good fit for us and with whom we feel a sense of comfort and connection. Perhaps you have one specific issue that you'd like to address or several. Perhaps you don't really know how to begin. My approach is client-led, which means that you decide what to talk about in our sessions. I will listen with empathy and acceptance. Together, we will illuminate and make sense of issues in your emotional life. We will create space for new understandings about yourself. This self-discovery will be handled with compassionate regard for you.

Whether you are struggling with specific issues or seeking deeper meaning in your life, I am here to listen and guide you to connect with your inner wisdom and resources to help you navigate through life challenges and improve the quality of your life. Drawing upon my training and experience in a variety of approaches, particularly somatic based approaches such as Sensorimotor (Level 1), Yoga and Mindfulness, our work together will enable you to pay attention to the body mind in a caring and non judgmental way. Such skills can support you in regulating your emotions effectively and shift habit patterns that no longer serve you.

Sometimes life is just achingly hard. Despite best efforts, the weight of our burdens can overwhelm us. When we're stuck in the dark, ways to move forward might feel impossible. Therapy is a safe haven to set down your cares, to explore what hurts, what's not working, and what you wish were different. It's a space where you're free to wonder, receive support, and discover personal strengths and possibilities. I work with both individual clients and couples, helping them move towards deeper self-understanding, resilience and ease in their lives.

We all want to be more balanced, more present, and to feel empowered as we move through this world. However, people often experience blockages such as depression and anxiety due to traumas and conscious or unconscious fears about their own worth, inner wisdom, and ability to pursue their own path. My purpose in working with you is to help you find meaning in your pain, heal, feel into your purpose, develop deep self love, find depth in your joy, manifest your highest good, and reflect the sparkling light of who you are back out into the world.

Are you going through one of life’s transitions? Have uncertain times left you feeling alone and unsupported?

Verified
Are you ready to make a change in your life and are committed to the process of therapy? Do you have a willingness to show up for yourself and are able to take responsibility for your piece in the work? I enjoy working with individuals who have mood disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as emotional regulation and attentional issues. Are you someone who has thought about what you would like to get out of therapy and are ready to take the plunge and build new healthy habits? If so, you are my ideal client, regardless of diagnosis and life circumstances.
Maryanne Nicholls
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Verified
Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Many of my clients are struggling with worry, self-doubt, and feelings of insecurity, which negatively impact their work and relationships. Chances are that you’ve tried to handle things on your own for a while, or put off reaching out for support because you believed you should be able to work through your challenges on your own. You may find yourself giving too much to others, which can leave you feeling depleted and unworthy. It can be hard to speak up for yourself and believe that you deserve more.

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many! My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

I am a relational psychotherapist. I have been described as warm, kind and non-judgemental. I would describe my way of working as integrative which means that I draw from all my trainings to work out how best I can help you. I am trauma informed and am also influenced by psychodynamic, person centred, self-psychology and humanistic theories. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients with a wide range of presenting issues although I have a particular interest in working with women with ADHD. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit.

I work by developing a collaborative relationship in which we identify areas for change, and set goals for personal improvement and symptom relief. In our first session, I will take a detailed history to get a firm sense of who you are, and where you would like to see yourself. We will address difficulties in your life, and just as importantly focus on your strengths, successes and personal resiliency.

Experience working in the community, hospitals and privately has allowed me to work with a broad range of issues including; depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, family and relationship difficulties, stress, grief and infertility.
Hershel T Russell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd

It can be pretty daunting to imagine telling a stranger about deeply personal issues. And will it really help? In my own life and in the lives of my clients I have so often seen counselling ease the difficulties life throws at us, make the way forward a little clearer, lay old hurts to rest. If you and I together can build a trusting, respectful "working alliance", I'd say - and much research agrees - that it's likely to make a difference in your life. The (ongoing?) pandemic can bring up old fears and worries, relationship struggles, loneliness. A place with no judgement to talk it all through can make a real difference.

If life transitions, multiple stressors, traumatic events, perinatal challenges, burnout, or low self-esteem leave you feeling disconnected, worthless, anxious, or frustrated, I am here to help you make sense of your pain and create a life worth living. With compassion, warmth, and a dash of humor, I will work with you to deepen your self-awareness and identify what's not working in your life. I will support you develop practical coping skills and new emotional, thought, and behavioural patterns so you can live by your values, achieve your goals, and meet your needs.
