At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Further, by using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, we help our clients by collaboratively finding strategies to move forward, which is especially helpful when clients feel stuck with their mental health and relationships.
Accepting New Clients: In-Person & Phone/Video. We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

When you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or that you have strayed off your life path, it can be hard to know what to do. Modern society today is often more isolated, which means more time alone with your thoughts, feelings, and more distance to those you are meant to feel closest within your lives. This can lead to dependence on distraction, addiction, or patterns of behaviour that you know take you away from who you are at your core.

You are a middle-aged adult with a family and a full-time job. Things seem to be ok on the surface, but deep down you have an exhausting feeling of disconnect from life (loss of interest in any activities, feeling emotionally numb, losing sense of direction in life). Anxiety and stress is taking you away from enjoying your life. You have a very low sense of self-worth and always highly negative towards yourself. You are very sensitive to criticism, can become triggered easily, often snap at kids and loved ones. You wish to change the way you feel about yourself and others, get a sense of connection and zest for life.

I see children, teens, individuals, couples, and families. We offer: anger management, domestic violence, relapse prevention, weight loss, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, trauma resolution and Christian counselling programs.

Hi, I'm Audette! I work with individuals that are dealing with the challenges of life the best way they know how. Perhaps you're turning to food for comfort, cycling between bingeing and purging, or exercising beyond your limits. Maybe you're pushing your feelings down. It seems like the better option, and yet you're constantly exhausted and overwhelmed. On some level this works, but deep down, there's a part of you that wonders, is this it? Is there another way?

There could be moments of deep emotional pain and struggle when we feel alone and vulnerable, facing isolation, grief, loss or insecurities in important relationships. Not always we see clearly how to tackle those and we want to have someone to check with, be heard and seen, or get ideas for new directions.

Strength-Based Counsellors

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
