Positive Psychology Therapists in St John's, NL

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.

Although our counseling services are exclusively offered online at this time, we have a team of qualified and diverse counselors who are equipped to address a broad range of mental health concerns. Our approach emphasizes holistic healing, encompassing the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of well-being. We provide counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups with equal dedication. In the event that a client is not fully satisfied, we are committed to finding a suitable replacement within our team or referring them to an unaffiliated professional outside of our organization to meet their needs.

Providing Services in NL, NS, ON, AB, and YT. I promise to approach each session with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I pride myself in providing a non-judgemental and safe space, free of assumptions. I strongly believe in giving people the space they need to speak freely about their unique lived experiences and how these experiences impact their lives. My role is to provide you with support and guidance to help you begin to move forward in your life.

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.

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, giving us the caring motivation to work through our suffering, to change unhelpful thinking/behaviour patterns, and connect with our values to get the most out of life.

Sometimes things happen in life that are beyond our control. Changing and adapting to new situations can be difficult. Navigating through that process can be challenging but talking through it can help gain perspective.

If you need support, a safe place, and have the desire to challenge the parts of your life that are not working for you, I would love to hear from you. I help people understand and change what is stopping them from living the life they want. This can include mental health issues, challenging life transitions, trauma, and unhealthy relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in Post-Concussion Syndrome and chronic pain, I help clients gain understanding and confidence so they can navigate the physical, emotional, relational, sleep, and cognitive impacts of PCS and pain.

The focus of my practice is to treat people who have emotional dysregulation - stress! This can be due to a mood or personality disorder, chronic pain, trauma or complex trauma, military service, or a major life transition. I use practical, evidence based therapies such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help you fulfill your goals, getting back to living a meaningful, peaceful, productive life.

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.

Congratulations on your courage! Becoming a conscious and emotional adult is beautiful work and will give life to all your relationships. Together we bring the unknown into the know, the unconscious to the conscious, so you can return to balance more quickly. I'm a skilled and compassionate therapist with over 13 years experience working with groups and individuals in personal growth. Your needs are at the centre of every therapy session and I truly enjoy helping you quickly get to the heart-of-the-matter so you can stop guessing and start creating the changes you seek.

Accepting NEW clients online or Walk & Talk!- Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning for new support, it can be difficult to reach out. I work with clients who may be feeling “stuck” or “not like themselves” and wanting to work through why this might be. It could be related to relationships, mental health such as depression or anxiety, lack of confidence or self-esteem, work conflict, high self-expectations or any other number of life stressors. You are the expert in your life and use a collaborative approach to ensure you feel supported in session and empowered to use the tools provided out of session.

I use the art and science of psychological therapy to support the personal growth, well-being, and happiness of my clients. My approach is in-depth therapy and it involves us understanding you holistically as a unique individual. In your therapy, we aim to go beyond psychological symptoms and to pay close attention to the specific internal and external factors that drive your symptoms (or areas of personal concern).
