Therapists in Pictou, NS

Equine Solace is dedicated to support the emotional health and well being of persons dealing with trauma, PTSD, abuse and/or loss. As a retired police officer, I have witnessed the trauma and grief associated with life on the front lines. These experiences led me to seek new and innovative ways to support people dealing with trauma and PTSD. I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate with NSCCT (RCT-C18-015), supervised by Brenda Johnson (RCT 15-002), a certified Mental Health Professional with PRO-EFW (260) and Professional Member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) ( 10005030).

My practice offers an evidence based treatment approach in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker offering individual talk therapy to adults. From mental health to physical wellness, attachment wounding and relationship issues, grief, burnout, and coping with daily struggles, I can help you find a balance. We can work together to build on your strengths and develop your skills in communication, boundaries, self-compassion, self-esteem, mindfulness, and more. Let's tune into the thoughts that are no longer serving you and/or behavioural patterns that have left you feeling stuck. Do you want to learn healthier ways to regulate your emotions and respond to life transitions with more ease?

Hi! Thank for visiting my page :) My private practice focuses on adolescents, adults, couples and family therapy. I offer an eclectic approach that is individualized, integrative and adaptive to help clients grow towards a better sense of well-being. I believe mental health success includes working collaboratively with individuals and families that present a wide range of life issues, stresses, and unique challenges. I have experience with diversified culture and heritage that includes socioeconomic, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and gender. Safety and Trust are of upmost importance. I hope to hear from you soon!

Would you like to come to the place where your heart and mind are in alignment? For these are the moments when you are in peace, and peace is the birthright of all humans. Yet there may be many disturbances in your life practices that are not resonant with a peaceful heart. The mind can be a place for turmoil and tragedy and incoherence, or it can be a magnificent conjugator for imaginative insights that, once brought into physical form (through conscious action) can ease and enhance your life.

I help young clients make improvements at home, in the classroom and on the field of play. If your child struggles with anxiety or managing their emotions, I could help. I incorporate sports into my therapeutic practice whenever appropriate. I taught PE for 20+ years, and have been a youth coach in multiple sports. I have seen first hand, the benefits of being involved in sport has on social and emotional health. I use Sport-Based Therapy in my practice. I have private and small group sessions in the gym to teach sport skills, build confidence, teamwork, resilience and emotional regulation.

I offer caring, creative, and confidential mental health counselling services to people (ages 18+) of all genders and affectional/sexual orientations. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual's needs and provides alternatives to mainstream counselling services. My practice focuses on helping people affected by substance use, anger management issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, partner abuse, relationship challenges, stress, PTSD/trauma, and low self-esteem. I provide individual sessions in-person or by video. My practice is non-judgemental, diversity-aware, and 2SLGBTQ+ affirming.

I understand how overwhelming it can feel to grapple with anxiety, ADD/ADHD, depression, OCD, or navigate complex family or couples challenges. If you're an adult or young adult striving for clarity and peace, know you're not alone. Your needs might encompass managing symptoms and seeking stronger connections. Your aim? A life of emotional balance and enriched relationships. I'm here to guide and support you, ensuring you're not just navigating but thriving. Let's chart a path to a brighter future together.

I help youth and adults navigate mental health challenges, increase self-awareness, and intentionally go after and get what they want from life. I'm a warm, open, accepting counsellor. I care deeply about the wellbeing of those I serve, and I believe that if someone feels accepted and valued just as they are, it provides the perfect environment for them to recognize their strengths, build stronger connections to others, and walk away from those relationships that no longer serve them in a healthy way.

Wait list for new clients. I believe in the innate ability of people to improve their situations & cope with their troubles but sometimes, we all need a little extra help. I focus on building a comfortable relationship in which you can feel seen, heard & empowered to make change that matters to you. I aim to help you rediscover & apply your strengths, to identify your values, to engage with your life in meaningful ways. I have a particular interest in our relationships with nature & specifically with water; the ways in which being in, near or on water & engaging with "blue spaces" benefit our mental health and general well-being.

Are you looking for a practical, individualised and creative approach to tackling mental health difficulties for you or your child? Perhaps you have not found traditional talking therapies a good fit for you. Perhaps your teen needs support to break cycles of anxiety or depression. Perhaps your child has Autism or ADHD and struggles with their behaviour, attention, emotions or sensory processing. You might be looking for parenting support. You may want to incorporate nature, arts or other meaningful activity into your therapy journey. One size does not fit all. Imagine what change looks like for you.

NOTE: accepting new clients for individual therapy & Women's ADHD Group - Life can feel impossible without support and the tools to be successful. You may feel stuck or hopeless, but I am here to help you resolve the past, find joy in the present, and hopeful about your future. I welcome clients of all genders, orientations, cultures, and unique walks of life. My approach with clients is to be open-minded, inclusive, and collaborative in order to help you heal and thrive. I work with individuals age 18+ experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, issues with self-worth, and more.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.
