Depression Therapists in Halifax, NS
I help people dealing with challenges like stress, relationship issues, and feelings of depression and anxiety.
You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about where to go next in your life. You’ve been navigating challenges with relationships, emotional well-being, or self-confidence. Or maybe you want to improve your self-awareness and better understand the patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You may be facing life transitions, seeking deeper connections, or simply looking for greater clarity and direction. Ultimately, you want to feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and balance.

I currently work with people overcoming damaging inner dialogue, depression, anxiety, weight loss, general life management, addictions, ADHD, and many other common and uncommon issues that prevent us from having the life we believe we should have.
Do you do things you would rather not do or avoid things you should do? Are you frustrated because you put others ahead of you and avoid conflict at all costs, or are you angry and having trouble keeping it in check? Are you feeling alone or misunderstood? If any of the above apply to you, I can help. My process is to listen. And by coming to understand you, help you face the challenges that are preventing you from living life on your terms. Sometimes, it's even about helping you decide what those terms are.

Whether it's trauma, anxiety / depression, grief / loss, Sybil believes that creating a warm, safe environment and relationship is the starting point for being able to address these concerns and move towards meaningful change in our lives.
Sybil's interest in the mind / body connection led her to Somatic Experiencing which is a body-oriented approach to treating trauma and chronic stress. It works by accessing and then integrating aspects of traumatic events: sensation, images, behaviour, emotions and meaning, which may be both conscious and subconscious.

I use the interventions of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, (CBT) to treat depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, BPD, and stress by addressing thinking and by changing behaviours to support your life.
I offer an affordable rate for individuals because I understand how financially restricting seeking counselling can be. It is difficult enough to pick up the phone and reach out, an individual should not be held back by financial limitations.
