Therapists in East St Paul, MB

I have 20+ years of experience as a Child and Adolescent Therapist with a wide array of expertise in mental health issues. My commitment is to provide a therapeutic and non-judgmental space where healing can begin. I recognize that we do not live in isolation and connection to trusted supports is essential, therefore I aim to work collaboratively with the individual and their extended supports. Is your child/adolescent struggling to navigate the uncertainties of life? Is this impacting their mental health? Do you see your child/adolescent struggling with anxiety/depression? Are you a young adult struggling with navigating adulthood?

Life is complex, and so are people. Our role is to understand the depth of your experiences and discover the meaning of the presenting problem in the context of all the stories around you. You need to be heard and accepted at the deepest levels so that together we are able to find ways to address what matters most to you. This will help you move through to the other side so that your mental health and sense of purpose can flourish. We want to help you make the best of your life.

Life 's challenges can sometimes seem overwhelming and leave us feeling anxious or depressed. Many of our automatic coping strategies were developed in response to early adversity. These strategies may no longer be effective as our situations often change. This can result in us struggling in our current relationships and impact our overall functioning. Recognizing and honoring old patterns, while developing new strategies that serve us better now, is something we all need help with from time to time. Developing new skills for healthy relationships allows us to fulfill our most basic need for love and connection.

Are you experiencing inner conflict(s) and/or relationship difficulties? Are you stuck in old belief, thought, emotional, or behaviour patterns that are no longer serving you or your relationships? Are you hoping to heal past traumautic events and experiences? Are you looking for someone to really listen and understand how things inside and out are affecting you? Would you prefer to thrive rather than just survive? I can help with that!

For more information on my work, visit clarewcounselling.ca - - I am naturally empathetic and genuinely passionate about my work. I bring authenticity, honesty, curiosity and compassion to each therapeutic relationship. Using a collaborative approach to treatment, I work to meet the unique needs of each individual client or couple. I believe in providing a validating space for my clients to feel safe in when choosing to be vulnerable and engage in self-exploration.

In life and love, I believe we do the best that we can. I also believe in our capacity to learn and grow, heal and change - a worthwhile process I am active to encourage. We all have experiences or relationships that are complex and add stress to our lives. We do not all choose to explore or understand our experiences and relationships and the impact they have, instead often living with a level of stress that is simply physically and emotionally unsustainable. Times of transition or change bring additional stress and can activate our deepest vulnerabilities.

I am a certified grief therapist and incorporate strategies from CBT, DBT, CPT in my practice. Crisis intervention is another area of my expertise. I am passionate about working alongside people while we learn together which coping strategies best suit individual personalities and lifestyles. My service model is humanitarian and non-judgemental. Respect and promoting the dignity and diversity of clients is paramount to my therapy practice. My career has allowed me to work extensively with individuals struggling to overcome grief and trauma.
