Somatic Therapists in Fall River, NS

Taking new clients looking to resolve trauma. My approach to therapy is rooted in the view that people have an inherent capacity for healthiness. I will work with you to uncover that wellbeing again so that you can live the life you deserve with more vitality and authenticity whether you suffer from chronic illness, the burden of a traumatic injury or complex trauma, a diagnosis of PTSD, anxiety, depression, unprocessed grief, or the malaise that comes from being over-stressed and not coping as well as you'd like.

I provide holistic psychotherapy and wellness counselling to individuals and couples (18 y/o and up). I recognize that working through difficult life circumstances and/or challenging relationships can be stressful and isolating, resulting in feelings of anxiety, low mood, poor coping skills or a general sense of being stuck in a cycle of unhealthy patterns. To move forward, it’s important to honour our lived experiences, accept that deeper emotions are appropriate in certain situations and build trust in ourselves to know the difference.

You may face sadness, worry, repetitive thoughts, following experiences that are tough to talk about, violence and trauma resulting in numbness, isolation. Maybe you want to dig deeper, to better understand these events and how they are impacting your life now. You may feel increasingly ready to move through and beyond the difficulties you face, to embrace what feels more like the real you. I am trained to work creatively with folks who are in the midst of life’s challenges, to help them process and cope with their emotions. I know how to work with trauma, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, depression and anxiety.

I am a Registered Psychologist and value the innate healing ability we carry inside. I believe my responsibility is to listen deeply and honour the resources and strengths of each person while creating an environment that feels open, warm and non-judgemental. Reaching out for help can be challenging. I have great respect for your journey as you take steps towards making changes in your life.

In the words of a wise 90's pop singer, "Everybody hurts, sometimes," and so often, we cannot control the difficulties that come our way. When suffering shows up (for example, depressed mood, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems), we can develop unhelpful coping strategies, behaviours, or symptoms that further complicate our lives and drain us of joy, energy, and serenity. However, I believe we are all born with an innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive in the face of adversity, and my goal is to help my clients activate this ability.

I am a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) and Registered Counselling Therapist - Candidate (RCT-C) working in the K’jipuktuk (Halifax) area. I provide counselling and music therapy for individuals and groups in the public sector and private practice. I specialize in addictions recovery, and with those impacted by addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, abuse, and the criminal justice system. My approach to therapy is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I work collaboratively with clients to support their personal goals and well-being while considering the holistic, intersecting aspects at play in their lives.

Grounded in empathy and compassion, I work with a client-centred approach, striving to help individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, seeking to understand themselves more deeply and overcome personal challenges. I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds, creating an environment where each person feels seen, heard, and supported while also cultivating a trauma informed approach. I provide an eclectic and integrative approach to therapy, tailoring therapeutic methods to the needs of the individual.

Do you often feel burnt out? Lacking motivation related to school or work? Feeling as though your friends are moving through their lives at a different pace? Do you feel stuck, and unsure of how to get moving again? Let’s explore those feelings together. I offer support to individuals 14 years and older who are experiencing difficulties with but not limited to: life transitions, relationships, anxiety, ADHD, and stress/burnout. I have a particular interest in supporting post-secondary students at all stages of their education, I offer executive functioning coaching as well.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

When you’re not feeling your best, things can really seem out of control, I believe that you have the power to make changes in your life, no matter the challenges. I want to help you find a realistic, and achievable path to the you that you want to be!

Greetings! I am a collaborative practitioner who enters the therapeutic space from a place of compassion and curiosity. Relationships are vital to our survival as a species. Therefore, connecting to others through relationship hold transformative power and fulfills our most basic human needs. So how do we engage with each other in a positive and vitalizing manner? I work primarily with individuals and couples who are experiencing a range of emotional difficulties and concerns including relational conflict, lack of communication, sexual concerns, lack of intimacy, feeling of disconnection and isolation.

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 use a collaborative holistic, strength based approach drawing upon multiple frameworks, such as emotional focused therapy, solution focused, cognitive based, expressive arts, spirituality and mindfulness techniques.

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.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but truth is, on the inside you're a mess. You used to pride yourself on being able to balance a successful career, kids and a healthy relationship. But now, you feel burnt out and anxious; your worries are always rolling around in your mind. Lately, you've been more irritable and frustrated toward your kids and spouse, which makes you feel terrible. Worse yet, you've completely forgotten about yourself. It feels like you are drowning under the weight of your problems and you are desperate to get free. You never imagined yourself seeing a therapist, but you know you need help.
