The poem, The Imaginary Career (by Rainer Maria Rilke), illustrates exquisitely our human condition. To quote: "At first a childhood, limitless and free" only to become "Defiance- The child bent becomes the bender". To live in that ".. vast, cold empty space, alone" is a very painful place to find oneself. I am here to join with that person in the "empty space" so that they can understand themselves and heal.

Psychotherapy is a good place to ease suffering, to arrive at more satisfying decisions, and to gain vitality. Are you worried about certain symptoms, or feeling unable to cope with emotions? Maybe you are discouraged, confused, or unsatisfied with "stuck" patterns in your relationships. Therapy offers a re-looking at what is close to us already. Sometimes, we recognize what we know, but in a different way. What frees us from lonely paralysis or the repetition of unsatisfying behaviour or thinking is the presence of another. This blind circle of reflection only opens up when there is someone to talk to.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or anxiety? It's time to regain control over your life. HI! My name is Melissa Hindley. I am a specialist in anxiety, depression and emotional regulation. I am a licensed psychotherapist and career counsellor recognized by the OPQ. I earned my Masters degree in counselling psychology from Adler University in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor that is trained to work with individuals and groups. I excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills. Too many of us suffer in silence with anxiety, low self-esteem, unprocessed trauma and anger. You are not alone and I am here to encourage you to let those experiences be felt in a safe & non judgmental environment. I call myself Speakeasy Counselling because I know how hard it can be for most people to do therapy and my goal is to make it engaging, insightful and rewarding. To be vulnerable means not having our deepest feelings and secrets shot down.

----Professional, confidential, client-centred services with a licensed therapist. Video and telephone services available during COVID. See www.LashaShaw.com for details.---- Clients usually contact me because they know something is wrong. Some feel stressed, anxious, or depressed. Others feel overwhelmed and confused. Many have started to notice problems in their sleep, mood, relationships, or work/school performance. Sometimes they aren't sure what's going wrong and they need help to identify the problem. Sometimes they know what they need to do, but they don't seem to be able to do it. That's where therapy can help.

I am trained to help adults, children, adolescents, men, women, families, and professionals better cope with a wide variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges. If you are feeling overwhelmed, out-of touch with yourself or generally unhappy and enjoy a genuine conversation with another person willing to reach out to help, than I believe we would be a good fit. I developed an eclectic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, heavily influenced by humanistic/existential, positive psychology, CBT, and expressive art therapy.

I have over a decade of counselling expertise. I was specially trained in cognitive-behavior therapy under the late Dr. Micheal Spevack. I treat: panic attacks, fear of flying, depression, OCD, phobias, self-esteem, excessive worrying, procrastination, assertiveness, generalized anxiety, relationship isssues, sexual abuse and incest, insomnia, infertility, and general life stress. I also teach relaxation. I work with you, the client, together as a team on your special goals. We will achieve your goals in a successful, organized manner. I offer warmth and empathy in a supportive environment. Contact me so that you can begin your awesome journey to happiness!

Are you disappointed with the turn your life has taken? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, or anger? Do you find it hard to enjoy what you have today, but feel stuck in the past, or keep worrying about the future? Do you struggle to communicate your feelings effectively to others? When we don't learn to successfully deal with our thoughts and emotions, when past wounds are left unattended, they intensify, and get expressed in unproductive, angry, or hurtful ways towards yourself and the people you love.

Bonjour/Hello, and welcome to my PT Therapy Directory profile page. I am a clinical psychologist with 20 years experience - and a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec. I help people with anxiety, stress, depression (or loss of a loved one), eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder), and individuals or couples with relationship difficulties. I believe in building a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients, and in using scientifically-proven therapy practices to get the best results. I can help if you would like to talk about the difficulties you or your loved ones are facing.

**Not currently accepting clients**. Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

**Not currently accepting new clients————-My role in the therapeutic environment is to provide my clients with a safe, warm and open space where a variety of emotions, thoughts and behaviours can be freely expressed, heard and explored. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their needs, to develop an understanding of the self, and to instil the motivation and appropriate skills to work toward a change in their attitudes, narratives, behaviours and quality of life.

As a CHILD and ADOLESCENT psychologist, I offer psycho-educational assessments (ADHD, dyslexia and other Learning Disabilities). I work with schools to ensure that your child gets the accommodations and support he or she needs. I also provide therapy to children and teens who struggle with behavior problems, anxiety and low self-esteem. Families undergoing divorce/separation are offered guidance and support. In my work I use the solution-focused approach that capitalizes on clients' existing strengths and helps them address problems in playful and creative ways. If you are worried about your child, it's time to act!

Working from Psychodynamic perspective I provide adults and adolescents with a safe and supportive environment in which we address and make sense of real-life experiences that may be contributing to depression, anxiety, addictions, problems with self-esteem and relationships difficulties.

As a licensed psychologist and certified Jungian psychoanalyst, I have had extensive experience with different problematics. Reasons for consulting may be various, but it always leads us to confront an unacknowledged part of ourselves, in a word, our own unconscious shadow.

Many of our clients are struggling with multiple issues - depression, anxiety, relationship problems, overeating - and often feel like everything is wrong and don't know why. Some have tried therapy before, but either didn't feel understood, or the work didn't lead to lasting change. If you see yourself in any of the following, we can help: have trouble forming or keeping relationships; stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns; feel burned out, running on empty, and can never quite seem to catch up; feel as though everyone else comes first; worry constantly about the stresses of life; can't seem to slow down and relax; constant feelings of panic or anxiety; self-sabotaging or self-destructive behaviour; feel disconnected from yourself or others; feelings of being numb; struggle with emotional eating and poor body image; low self-esteem or lack of confidence; victim of abuse or neglect, in childhood or adulthood. Our clients may struggle with any of these issues, among others, but all have one thing in common: they are ready to do the real work of healing the source of their suffering.

We ask for help when we can't do it alone anymore; when our relationships are not working; when we are tired of our own patterns. People who consult with me find that I am genuine and knowledgeable, with a unique, human approach. I work with adults and teens, couples and families, and respond to your needs effectively and compassionately. I provide help that addresses immediate concerns and provides lasting change. I am experienced in providing brief and long-term therapy for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and life's changes including career issues.
