Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Nova Scotia

Hello, I'm Allison, and I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Nest Therapy, where compassionate care meets over two decades of clinical therapy expertise. I specialize in women's reproductive mental health issues such as the perinatal, perimenopause and menopause.

My ideal client is at the bottom of their “to do” list. They are overworked and pushing themselves beyond capacity. They are likely suffering from symptoms of burnout, stress, anxiety and/or depression. These clients often struggle to understand their own needs because they have neglected themselves, and their mental health for far too long.

We are a team of experienced Registered Psychologists offering compassionate, collaborative and personalized care consistent with best practices. Together we offer services to clients of various ages and developmental stages. We work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, parents and couples. We also work closely with individuals who work in or have worked in high risk settings such as veterans, first responders and corrections officers.

Hi! I’m Jessica. To me, therapy is a space to develop a strong caring relationship, explore someone’s history with the intent of linking current day struggles, teach practical coping strategies, and ultimately help someone thrive in a world that is often wrought with difficulty. I use evidence-based methods from a structured and holistic approach sometimes assigning homework. My experience in this field has typically seen an overemphasis or underemphasis on either spirituality or psychology when it comes to mental health matters. It is my passion and hope to honor both influences in the counselling setting.

Hello! As a clinician, I try to use both a practical and client-centred approach to people's presenting issues. I always use a strengths-based approach, believing that each of us is resilient and capable of managing difficult times while instilling hope for better days ahead. Sometimes we just need a little extra insight or help along the way. I offer an empathic, non-judgemental space with reflective feedback and a secure space. Formally, I draw on a collection of frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

I'm ready to help you work on your issues when you are ready to do the work as well. However, sometimes you may come to me for one thing when really there is something else going on instead. Flexibility and adaptability is important in this work, for everyone involved.

At Compassionate Connections we offer therapeutic counselling for both adults and children/families in addressing complex mental health needs. Our approach is client-centred, compassionate and non-judgmental. As your therapists our role is to provide hope, support and guidance during the most difficult of times. Our passion is working with families towards a path of reconnection and healing--through communication, skill building and fostering connections. More specifically, we specialize in attachment and emotion focused parenting approaches that help families address and support their child's behavioural and emotional needs.

Are you an athlete looking for support? Some of the work I do, but am not limited to, surrounds performance anxiety, game preparation, habit/routine formation, and building confidence/self-esteem. I've also experienced working on topics such as grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.

I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Addictions for 25 years. I prioritize facilitating a warm, inviting, safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I believe it's an absolute privilege to be able to share space and support my clients as they courageously work towards improving their lives and overall health and wellness.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

People can often feel reluctant and/or overwhelmed at the idea of speaking to someone about what it is they may be going through and the process of starting therapy in general. They are not sure if it’s going to help and they may not see a way forward. Utilizing a holistic and individualistic approach throughout the therapeutic process to accommodate each individual's unique experience, needs, and goals for therapy. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment based on acceptance, collaboration, patience and understanding, valuing the importance of the therapeutic relationship so they can move forward with ease.

I believe powerful healing can take place when our stories and emotions are witnessed and validated. I aim to create a warm and safe landing space for you that is full of unconditional acceptance. A place where old wounds can be brought into the light, and our authentic selves can come out from hiding. My work is collaborative and holistic, integrating body, mind, and spirit, and I welcome all parts of you, even (especially!) the angry, rejected parts. I’m an endlessly curious person who is deeply committed to my own growth, and I know how vulnerable it can feel to sit on the other side of the chair as a therapy client.

I work with individuals and couples in therapy where my areas of focus include relational health, sexual health, emotional regulation, stress management, identity and self-compassion, transitions, and change, and have experience supporting clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I am also trained in CFT to support clients experiencing chronic pain and chronic illness.

Are u looking for safe, accessible, neurodiverse affirming support? Whether that may be in helping you process an Autism diagnosis, navigating unmasking or if you are a neurotypical parent struggling with the challenges that come with raising neurodivergent children. I am proudly Autistic and Indigenous working thru an Indigenous lens, which means acceptance first.

I work with children, adolescents, and their families in providing assessment and treatment services.
