Female Therapists in Tusket, NS

When facing an overwhelming emotional experience, so many people feel lost, isolated and alone. Counselling, first and foremost, is a way to relieve that sense of aloneness and form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you just as you are. My goal is for you to gain a deep understanding of yourself, your needs, feelings, and behaviours, and how these impact your everyday life and relationships. We will work to create the tools and strategies you need to be empowered to live your life authentically and feel fulfilled.

Feeling overwhelmed? Difficulties managing your emotions? Stuck in depression, anxiety, grief, or chronic pain? Finding your relationship(s) a challenge? I have over two decades of experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing mental health issues, trauma/PTSD, difficulties with interpersonal relationships, chronic pain, grief, life transitions, and sexuality. I don't condone toxic positivity, but I do believe in radical acceptance. That doesn't translate into complacency, but acceptance that there are limits to our ability to control our surroundings.

Life isn’t always hard, but when things get challenging, when feelings of anxiousness and despair seem overwhelming, seeing a counsellor can help. Having a place to say it all out loud can be the gateway to better emotional and mental health. Sorting through and dealing with issues of anger, abandonment, fear, trauma and hopelessness can help you restore balance in your life. We can work together to find your way forward.

Welcome! It is important to me that my clients feel safe, supported, and heard at all times. I know from my own experience that starting counselling can be scary, but I am here to meet you with warmth, compassion, and non-judgement. I believe that past wounds and the hustle bustle of every day life can make a lot of us feel overwhelmed and dis-connected from ourselves. I would love to assist you in coming home to yourself by re-connecting to your inner wisdom and guiding you in creating nurturing habits. It is my hope that you will experience a blossoming sense of self-worth and a growing capacity to navigate life’s challenges.

You may be considering counselling therapy for a specific reason such as a grief or sadness, difficulty in controlling your use of drugs or alcohol, or life changes such as separation and divorce. Perhaps life simply seems difficult. Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our sense of self or leave us searching for more. Although it may be difficult to reach out for help, please know that I will hear your story with compassion, openness, and a willingness to support you in your healing process.

Hello! I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists (NSCCT) currently offering virtual services for individuals 16 and older living in Nova Scotia. I strive to create a safe relational space in session, from which you can explore and process the stories, emotions, and experiences impacting your life. A space in which I can offer you, and you can offer yourself compassion, curiosity, and understanding. I always want you to feel in control of the work we do together, as I see this work as deeply collaborative and understand that you are the expert in your own life.

I work with individuals primarily providing a client centred and individual treatment plan for your needs. I have experience with those impacted by trauma, anxiety, depression, concussion, bipolar and more.

I am available in person through True North Psychological Services in Bridgewater. All services through Reena Davis Wellness are online only.

As a Certified Counsellor, I promote a client- centered approach. Each individual brings with them a broad spectrum of life experiences that holds their thoughts, beliefs and feelings about the past, present and future. Whatever key issues, barriers, limiting thoughts, feelings or behaviours that you want to address, I meet you where you are on your journey.

Anyone who has experienced violence, trauma, grief & loss, including those who identify as belonging to the LGBTQ+2 Spirited, Indigenous and Christian faith communities. I imagine my ideal client as having endured unfortunate circumstances and crisis beyond their control; yet open and longing to embark on a healthy healing path facilitated by a compassionate and accepting facilitator.

I am passionate about assisting clients with symptoms of PTSD, a history of childhood trauma, and those experiencing life transitions.

Do you feel weighted by the challenges before you? Are your go to strategies and ways of doing things not working the way they use to? Are you looking for ways to shift the stress, angst and anxiety in your life, yet not sure of the next steps. It takes courage for people to move through life's transitions, challenges and emotional pain. I support you in developing a sense of inner safety, sense of self and confidence in your capacity to be with your life's challenges and recognize your inner strengths and resoucefullness.

Whether you are a child, pre-teen, adolescent or young adult, all stages of life have different challenges. Currently my work focuses on supporting children, adolescents and young adults who are experiencing emotional difficulties and other feelings of psychological distress that may lead to feeling isolated, stressed, sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. The overall goal is to help recognize and verbalize feelings, identify typical behavior patterns, defenses and inner conflicts in order to reduce symptoms, provide insight and improve daily functioning and quality of life.

At Compassionate Connections we offer therapeutic counselling for both adults and children/families in addressing complex mental health needs. Our approach is client-centred, compassionate and non-judgmental. As your therapists our role is to provide hope, support and guidance during the most difficult of times. Our passion is working with families towards a path of reconnection and healing--through communication, skill building and fostering connections. More specifically, we specialize in attachment and emotion focused parenting approaches that help families address and support their child's behavioural and emotional needs.
