Existential Therapists in Halifax, NS

Recovery from pain is possible. Let's start together from understanding YOUR pain and creating a path to wellness that is unique for YOU. I am fascinated by the brain and body connection and the immense possibilities that arise when we open ourselves to learning and understanding how various psychoneurobiological mechanisms work, how our environments and circumstances have shaped us and continue to do so, and how we can harness the power of that understanding towards change. Studies indicate that many chronic pain conditions are often not the result of structural causes, but of psychoneurobiological processes that can be reversed.

In times of life challenges, we suffer not only as individuals but also in our relationships. Since 2008, it has been my passion to support individuals, couples and families in their quest to turn personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for personal growth and greater connection. I feel privileged to work collaboratively with my clients to help them implement the positive changes they desire to achieve. I welcome you into an inspiring, trusting, safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment for you to discover your strengths, your challenges and your potential that is waiting to be unfolded.

I provide online therapy in AB, NS, & NB to women and therapists dealing with anxiety, trauma (single incident, complex, attachment, & family of origin), perfectionism, fertility issues, and the painful legacy of being an adult child of a narcissist. In therapy we will make space for all the parts of you and all the things you find hard to say and begin to understand how your beliefs about yourself developed in response to how you adapted to belong and survive in your life. I use psychodynamic, body-focused, mindfulness, EMDR, Flash, clinical hypnosis, and existential therapies to help you heal and get back to living well and fully.

Hi, I'm Ali. I'm glad you're here - we were never meant to do this alone. I work with adults, teens (12+), and couples/relationships. Therapy with me is a conversation.

That said, I will not turn down anyone due to their belief; everyone is welcome. I am Kink/Poly/LGBTQ+ aware, and unequivocally open to working with any and all sexual minorities.

At some point in our lives, we all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or lost. These times can increase our stress and anxiety. In those times, we need understanding, validation, safety, and support to overcome our challenges. I aim to provide you with a safe place to share and process your current challenges. With a deeper understanding, we can then work together towards learning new skills and strategies that can help you move forward, build resilience, and better cope with any future obstacles.

I work from the perspective that everyone has basic healthiness, a natural yearning for brilliant sanity and the wisdom of wholeness as part of their being. Conditioning and confusion can obscure these endowments but they are never absent. My job is to help draw out this wisdom for healing that is already there, by encouraging awareness. I begin with client-centered listening that honours where you are now, and the change you want. I then move into more experiential work to facilitate transformation. The contract for change and the pace of change is always in the client's hands

Is the inside of your head feeling like an uncomfortable place to be? Working with a mental health professional can create a meaningful shift. Sometimes the harsh things we say to ourselves and our unconscious patterns can leave us trapped in a cycle of just trying to survive. Could the way you've learned to cope/survive be keeping you stuck or moving you away from who you want to be and how you want to live? Learning to see yourself, your life, and your patterns clearly can create opportunities for healing, growth, and more meaningful relationships.

I want to help you better understand where you've come from and how you hope to experience your future. Do you want to feel valued, supported, and part of a team? Would you rather be independent and free with a job full of adventure? I'll help you feel clear about your purpose, what you want & ultimately be guided by your values, interests, natural abilities and life experience.
