During my OT training, my placements took place in: out-patient neuro-rehabilitation (Level I Clinical), non-for-profit Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (Community Development), mental health (Level II Clinical) and pediatrics/family-care (Level III Clinical).

Loss and change can leave us feeling like the rug has been pulled out from under us; our foundation feels shaky and things seem like they will never be the same (including you). When you lose someone you love through death or a relationship change, the loss is felt deeply. Other life transitions can leave you grieving and struggling in much the same way. Navigating loss and change is easier said than done, but with the right support, it's possible.

Accepting new clients! Teresa is an empathic, kind, and nonjudgmental counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals overcome their struggles with mental health, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to heal from past traumas. Feelings of stress and anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and relationship difficulties have feelings of shame and self-criticism at their core. Directing compassion toward ourselves can allow us to feel safe and accepted, and give us the caring motivation to work through our suffering in helpful ways.

My primary goal is helping clients live their lives effectively. I aim to provide a holistic and person-centered approach while encouraging skill development to assist in managing life challenges.

Welcome, and thanks for visiting my profile. As a certified counsellor, I help people work through challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, identity, relationships, and ADHD. I aim to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where people feel respected, understood, and free to be themselves. Clients describe me as warm, caring, down-to-earth, and encouraging.

I have years of experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties in their everyday lives and feel they need a little extra support. Some of my clients may struggle with mental illness on a regular basis, while others may be faced with circumstances that contribute to situational increase in stress. The effects of both can have short- or long-term effects. I have experience working with children, youth and families who are navigating pathways through addiction, mental health concerns, post-traumatic stress, life transitions or work-related stress injuries, just to name a few.

You have a big inner world right now that no one in your life has the capacity to fully understand much less than help you through. What you sense and pick-up from your outer world may also cause stress and overwhelm. You may not even know what it really is, or where it stems from beyond surface stuff. It’s a dilemma. One that is often internalized with confusion and doubt until one day the discomfort moves to a new level. Maybe that day is today... you’re getting ready, building courage to ask for help. Navigating the journey forward requires space, recognization, understanding and skill… and I'm here as your Seasoned Guide. - M.

I typically work with clients who are struggling with various aspects of everyday life and would like some support as they work through a difficult time, transition, or issue that has emerged for them. My clients are often seeking ways forward to move through these challenging moments as well as new skills for life ahead so they can thrive once again, and feel fully engaged with life and its positive behaviours and emotions. Much of my time is spent carrying out assessments with clients who are wondering about characteristics they see in themselves, or that their parents wonder about (e.g., autism).

I'm a St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador native with a passion for continued education around mental health and wellness. My aim is to create a safe space where individuals can learn how to strengthen coping skills, address daily stressors and learn how to develop and practice healthy coping patterns. I have experience working with individuals in the areas of depression, anxiety, anger, parenting, stress management, trauma, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and self-esteem. Moreover, I have considerable experience working with individuals experiencing suicidal ideations.

I offer an authentic, non-judgmental, relational approach to therapy, and prioritize openness and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. Acknowledging and appreciating the uniqueness of individual circumstances, I employ an individual approach to practice. I am a trauma informed, and strengths focused clinician, working from an anti-oppressive framework, who believes an effective therapeutic relationship is one of the greatest vehicles for change. Each individual is the expert of their own life, and therefore sessions are client focused and client paced.

I have experience providing individual counselling to children, youth, and families. I offer services in relation to trauma, grief and loss, transitions, family breakdowns, coping, anxiety, depression, ADD/ ADHD, emotional regulation, anger management, and other mental health diagnosis'. I provide brief therapy services which is goal oriented and aimed at debriefing an event, or offering clients new skills they can utilize. This type of service is ideal for those with a limited number of sessions through their insurance or EAP. I also offer more intensive services aimed at helping people work through their trauma.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and i'm so glad that you're here. As a counsellor, I work with young adults and adults to explore new ways to cope with old patterns that are no longer serving them. I also work with folks to help them understand and process the stories and emotional experiences that have left them feeling stuck. This allows choice for people to move toward a life that is deeply connected to their values. My work with children (5-10), teens and families is focused on trauma, anxiety and depression and is informed by my advanced trainings in Play Therapy, ACT and EFFT.
