I bring my openness and upbeat sense of humour into our sessions, which are trauma and neurodiversity-informed, as well as relational and compassion focused.
Greetings fellow earthlings! My name is Amanda. As fellow humans, we can work together to help you through this unpredictable life more easily. In response to our shared challenges of heartbreak, disappointment, pain and fear, I want to offer you the universal needs of feeling seen, heard, valued and supported. I focus on deeper work, to thoroughly understand the experiences and relationships that have led you to how you feel today. Together, we can look for unhelpful patterns in your life, and for creative changes to help ease the struggles you have been dealing with, and find more balance, peace and hope for your future.

I take a very relational, human-to-human approach to therapy - meaning - I place a high value on our therapeutic rapport, and in creating a space where you feel safe to express yourself completely without any fear of judgement or repercussion.
Hi, I'm Hunter. As a therapist who has lived experience with C-PTSD myself, I often work with clients who are looking for support in unlearning some of the protective patterns that they developed in childhood that are no longer helpful to them in their adult lives. I can offer a level of understanding beyond being trauma-informed, as my personal history combined with my education in trauma can support you in gaining a deeper understanding of how your reactions make sense on a biological level and how we can tap into the mind-body connection to create new, healthier patterns so that the old ones may eventually fall away.

My approach to therapy is holistic, non-pathologizing, and looks beyond the individual, taking into account the various relational systems and contexts in which we live.
If you are living with the impacts of trauma, relationship breakdown, or a crisis of identity, you’re not alone. I have over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples with interpersonal trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse recovery, discrimination, loss of meaning in life, and uncertainties of purpose or identity. My work is psychodynamic, somatically-focused, and supports the psychological growth of clients. I want to help you get to the roots of problems and develop greater self-awareness in the process. I believe that long-term wellness ultimately stems from developing insight into the various patterns of our lives.

Have you ever felt like you needed to do “more” or be “more” in order to feel like you are “enough?” Overwhelmed by guilt if you have needs of your own? Or believe if you did acknowledge YOU in relationships it could end in abandonment, disappointment or being alone? You may have learned to relate to yourself in this way for as long as you can remember and does not mean you are “broken” in need of being “fixed”. When we remove judgment and begin to see our “true self” through the lens of curiosity we get to reconnect with who we have always wanted to be but was too afraid to try.

Are you waking up exhausted? You start your day tired. Maybe you’re feeling trapped by the mental load you carry and don't see any relief insight. Your important relationships are suffering and you’re either avoiding or snapping at everyone, making you even more stressed out and unhappy. It’s not unusual to feel like you’ve lost your way- whether at school, work, with your partner, at work or even in parenting. Now more than ever many people are finding themselves overwhelmed by the pressures and responsibilities of their day-to-day lives and just wanting to reconnect with their true selves.

I specialize helping those struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use concerns using trauma-informed treatment. My foundation views all people as being made up of mind, body, and spirit. We all share common pains in life, such as caregiver failures and events that have occurred beyond our control. These experiences change us and can form belief systems that perpetuate a limited perspective on who we can become. People are basically good and no person is "bad", but life traumas shape us into the false self (ego) which we then identify with; finding your true self allows for more authenticity and freedom.

How does relational therapy work?

Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.

Is relational therapy evidence-based?

Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioural or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioural therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.

How long are people typically in relational therapy?

Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.

Does relational therapy work?

While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
