SunLife Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

Currently accepting new clients! We all go through life with different ideas of who we are and how we fit into the world. Sometimes we get away from the person we want to be. I will work with you to create goals that bring you back to the person you want to be. I specialize in working with clients to help them navigate complicated relationships within their world. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, race and culturally inclusive and sensitive.

Human environments seem to be getting more challenging, complex and more conflicting for humanity. Everyone tends to be living in fear and doubts. Thus, realization of genuine goals look like a mirage culminating in frustrations, transference of frustrations, and breakdowns. At same time, society tends to be whipping us and make us think something is wrong with us. And we seem to be getting invisible in our world everyday. In the midst of these environmental dilemmas, there is a need to learn how not to be lost completely and with resilience realise our dreams in life.

Therapy is an opportunity to look at self and understand more about your life. At times, we encounter things that feel overwhelming or unbearable and therapy allows you to have the opportunity to have someone to support you in this struggle. My belief is that the therapeutic relationship allows a person to move through these times with more ease by having someone at your side to face these difficulties.

We all want to live with meaning and purpose—to be authentic, compassionate, accepting, patient, and forgiving with ourselves and the people in our lives. Sometimes difficult life experiences can cause us to lose sight of this genuine way of being, so we become closed off from ourselves and others. In other words, we feel stuck… As a therapist, I offer helpful options to getting unstuck. Together we will begin to explore and understand what has contributed to these blocks, as well as uncovering and applying strengths, resources, and skills towards a solution.

We all experience difficult events in our lives. Some of these events happened a long time ago, and have influenced the way that we interact with ourselves and the world. Some of these events are more recent and throw us off the course we were on. We can become stuck in ways of being that are no longer helpful to us end up causing distress. I believe therapy can be a helpful way to process what has or is happening in our lives and encourage healthy adaptation and growth, so we can live our lives with more peace, happiness and connection.

We would be happy to work with you. Dr. Valdine Scott is a Registered Clinical Psychologist who obtained her Ph. D. from the University of Manitoba.

***Currently seeing clients online or over the phone.Our work has been informed by a number of different therapeutic models. In the last sixteen years we have been dedicated to integrate Narrative Ideas and Social Justice models into our practice. In those conversations that happen in our offices, people can reclaim their own preferred stories and re-define themselves by centering on stories that don't restrict their lives to the definition that the problem imposes on them. It's in the core of our work to believe that people that seeks for counselling come to it with a number of skills, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities.
