Hi! We are Dawn and Miriam, the Registered Psychotherapists at Human Connections. We are experienced in helping you find balance, heal emotional pain and cope with life's difficulties. We believe that everyone can benefit from counselling and have worked with adults, young adults & students, parents, and older adults, to help through life transitions & difficulties, healing childhood wounds, improving relationships, and living a happier life.

I believe in the power of strength-based approaches to therapy--the amazing, nameless, invisible "thing" that recognizes the strength of survival, while giving one hope in knowing we ourselves hold the power to change our world, one moment, one conversation, one encounter at a time. Within a general practice, my specialties include substance abuse, stress management, anxiety, trauma, grief, interpersonal violence and life transitions. I provide an individualized approach according to each person's unique strengths and goals. Committed to ongoing skills development, I pursuit ongoing education and training, while receiving regular consultation and supervision for my practice.

Do you find yourself feeling unworthy and is your confidence shaky? Know that you are braver than you think. If you’ve held back with friends or family about a loss you are grieving, or something you know about yourself that you haven’t said out loud, when you’re ready, I can be your witness. I support individuals, couples, and families that all have one thing in common: they want to be truly heard, and they have a deep desire to reconnect. This may be with families, relationships, very often it starts on a personal level, with the search for your own truth. If you are hoping for a space where you can be yourself, welcome home.

*Sliding Scale available to better fit your budget* Are you struggling with emotional difficulties? Do you need support when life seems overwhelming? With therapy you can use your own personal strengths to work towards meaningful positive changes to improve your well-being and create a more ideal life.

I love working with people who are making shifts and transitions in their life. We all find ourselves at times in our lives where we hit a roadblock or detour and need to change direction. I believe in people's capacity to change and grow and find that they often surprise themselves with what they can achieve. My ideal client is one who wants to take the next step in their journey of self awareness.

My passion to rehabilitate people began when I started to struggle with my own health. I had to teach myself very quickly how to navigate our health system and advocate for myself and my well-being. I am here to assist you in finding peace by helping you retrain your brain to process life as it is, rather than how you believe it should be. The basis of good psychotherapy is trust. With it, your therapist becomes your partner in healing. I actively work with my clients to cultivate trust and resilience.

Nobody understands your difficulties better than you. You are an expert on your lived experiences and my goal is to simply assist you in navigating these experiences. Together, my hope is that we can make sense of your difficulties through psychoeducation, develop coping strategies, create solutions, and get you to a place where you feel independent, confident, and competent when dealing with life's challenges.

The journey to find a therapist that meets your specific needs is vital. My life experience has shaped my understanding of two significant elements required for you to Flourish. 1 CONNECTION WITH YOUR THERAPIST - The therapeutic relationship is a unique, two-way journey. I am a ‘real’ human being, meaning I am able to freely and deeply be myself, not an all-knowing expert. I pride myself on relating to others genuinely. 2 MEETING SPACE - Space is just as important as the person working in it and their clients. I designed Flourish to be a space where you feel secure enough to do the important work necessary for healing and change.

I carefully tailor my approach to serve the needs of my patients. My interventions usually involve the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, augmented by Person-Centred approaches. In all interventions, I emphasize the strengths that each individual brings to resolving life-problems. I provide assessments and treatment for various conditions, including depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, anger management problems, stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual compulsions, personality disorders, hoarding disorder, adjustment to trauma and loss, and co-occurring addiction disorders.

If your goal is radical, positive lasting change, I'm here for you! Have you experienced bullying as a student or an adult worker, are struggling with "negative" emotions like anger and stress/anxiety? Are you trying to come to terms with physical, social, emotional, and cognitive changes after a motor vehicle accident or a First Responder occupational stress injury? I am here to support you through your healing process. My areas of specialization are anger and stress solutions, bullying, MVA and First Responder trauma recovery.

I have 20 years of experience in treating individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma and grief. Counselling takes place in a safe and therapeutic environment. Developing a relationship with my clients to engage in evidenced-based therapy techniques that have been established as effective and successful in regaining hope in your lives. These techniques can help you experience increased emotional health and wellness. I have a strong interest in trauma work. Sessions are tailored to your specific strengths, needs and values, exploring the impact of our experiences on our current life situation.

Is there something about your life you'd like to change? Thoughts you want to work on? goals you want to meet? feelings and reactions you wish were different? We all feel the need for change sometimes. But, it's just so easy to get stuck. To feel ineffective and unsupported in the effort to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. I understand how difficult it can be to feel trapped by self doubt, worry, and temptation to cope in problematic ways. I believe talking about struggles in therapy and working toward self-defined goals in a respectful environment can foster balance, self-acceptance, and empowerment.

You may be unsure if sharing your story with a therapist will create the positive change you need. However, if you met & even surpassed your expectations, you would likely feel well-served by the interaction. I am here to help you do just that in a safe environment. I specialize in helping individuals obtain a DISTINCT SENSE OF RELIEF from what distresses them. My strongest experience is with STRESS related issues manifesting in uncomfortable states such as ANXIETY, Depression, OCD & Eating-Related conditions. I also work well with those dealing with FEAR, Anger, Addictions, Grief, Physical Health issues (cancer etc.) & more.

You may be struggling with a lot of change and transition and/or STRESS in your life. You are not clear about what to do next. You may be feeling sad, anxious or angry or you are finding that your relationship(s) with your partner, family, friends or co-workers aren't as fulfilling as you would like. You may have experienced a recent loss or trauma and just need someone who will listen with compassion and caring. Or, you may be ready to work through issues from the past that continue to trouble you today.
