Medavie Blue Cross Therapists in Dartmouth, NS
Welcome!
If you're here, you're likely carrying something heavy — persistent worry, difficulty quieting your mind, or the weight of experiences that have stayed with you longer than you'd like. You don't have to keep navigating that alone.
I'm one of the Clinical Directors at Virtual CBT, an established Ontario-based practice now expanding to Nova Scotia. We work with adults and teens navigating anxiety and trauma, and we also offer psychological assessments to help bring clarity to what you're facing. Our Psychologist can assess Autism, ADHD, or a full psychodiagnostic assessment which covers a full range of different diagnoses.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next step? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. When the tools you’ve relied on no longer feel effective, it may be time to gently explore a new path toward healing, clarity, and renewed connection. We offer compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, life transitions, and for children who benefit from expressive, play-based healing.

Whether you are feeling lost, confused, lonely, questioning life, or experiencing depression, anxiety or trauma, I offer you a safe space where you can feel free to express and be yourself without judgment. I work with different modalities to help you organize your thoughts and understand your feelings so you can have a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I will do what I can to make time to meet either in person or virtually so you don't have to wait long for help.

Therapy feels weird, right?! Like- Hi, total stranger. I'm chronically overwhelmed and have been holding it all together with caffeine, people-pleasing, and sheer determination. Let me tell you all my trauma. But seriously - if that feels even a little too real, you're in the right place. Therapy CAN feel weird, but only because our culture teaches us that we should be able to do it all alone. But do you want to know a secret? You don't have to.
I work with primarily women and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals. As a Neurodivergent queer gal, I know how hard it can be to feel safe and seen. I promise to listen and to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I support teens, adults, first responders and veterans as they navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and more. I welcome individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and adverse childhood experiences. Trauma lives in both the mind and body, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. Therapy offers a safe space to begin untangling those patterns and can help you move beyond the weight of the past—opening the door to a life with more ease, clarity, and harmony.

Feeling lost, stuck, or out of alignment in your career? These transitions often stir deeper questions of identity and purpose. I use a feminist, somatic and hands on approach. There’s no quick fix or one right path. In my career counselling, I use a transpersonal, psychospiritual approach that honours your intuition, practical life and the archetypes shaping your journey. Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape and reconnect with what feels truly aligned, so you can move forward with clarity, trust, and a deeper sense of purpose. Instead of endless talk therapy, I use a hands-on action-oriented technique called EFT tapping.

You don’t need to explain why you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck.
If you’ve been living in survival mode, feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward, therapy can help you feel steadier, safer, and more like yourself again. I specialize in working with trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and nervous system overwhelm. I support adults who have experienced chronic, relational, and identity-impacting trauma, including survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Many of the clients I work with have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t go deep enough or move too fast.

None of us deserve to face life feeling alone. You deserve a safe space where you can feel heard; a place to work through whatever comes your way; and a place to gain tools that you can use to live every day to the fullest. Perhaps you have a child who is learning to work through their emotions, or you are a young person having a hard time at school or at home. Maybe you are a parent looking to find ways to connect with your child(ren) differently than you are now or you're an adult who is about to go through a big life transition and want a listening ear.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child, who is usually wise beyond their years, becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting makes it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those worst moments, leaving you feeling unsure of what will help.
