Therapists in St John's, NL

Sometimes navigating the complexities of life can get a little tricky to manage and we can get lost along the way. Therapy can assist you in finding the way back to yourself and can offer you a safe place to talk. Power Counselling and Wellness provides professional counselling and education to individuals and families of all ages. Through warm, confidential, and non-judgmental therapy, Power Counselling and Wellness provides services to people with a wide range of wellness and mental health concerns.

My goal as a counsellor is to provide all persons I work with a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space so you can begin exploring challenges impacting your life and start working towards your wellness goals. If you are looking for a counsellor who listens with compassion and empathy and also provides education, coping strategies, and various techniques to get you moving forward on your healing journey, you have come to the right place. With my diverse education, work and lived experience, I am able to support folks facing various challenges.

I know reaching out for help can be scary, and I am here to alleviate that potential fear. As a therapist, my main priority is to provide you with a safe space that is welcoming while we work collaboratively on the issues you are experiencing. Therapy is different for each person and my therapeutic approach will provide a unique experience tailored to you and for you. In sessions we will explore your thought patterns, emotions and maladaptive behaviours and learn tools and techniques that will help you live a more meaningful, stable life.

We all experience challenges in life and reaching out for support can be very overwhelming. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you or your child so that you feel welcome and supported. We will work together to set individualized therapeutic goals that best meet your needs. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Naturopath (ND) with training in CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused, Play Therapy, EMDR to process trauma and distressing life experiences, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, and Perinatal Mental Health. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, parents/caregivers, and families.

Have you or your loved one been diagnosed with a critical illness? Are you undergoing various life transitions and want to plan your end-of-life needs? Are you having difficulty living through death and understanding your grief? I have worked with people who experience loss on all levels: loss of functioning and identity due to disability or aging, dementia or Alzheimer’s impacts, changes in health needs, dying and death matters, and maternal and paternal child loss.

In difficult times, we struggle to cope, and often engage in self-defeating behaviours that can further complicate our lives. I offer a service where you can feel safe to share without being judged. I have practiced counselling for over 15 years, with a 25+ year social work career history. I am a registered social worker, and obtained my Bachelor of Social Work degree from McGill University. I have also completed some MSW study at Memorial University. I have also received intensive training from psychoanalyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes-Reyes.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to look for the right Counsellor- ME! LOL! Finding a Counsellor who is warm, kind, humorous and inviting will help you open up. We can talk about whatever is troubling you and stealing peace in your life. We can find solutions, a plan and goals in helping you move forward or recover. Sometimes clients have mental illness, relationship or personal problems that are stopping them from leading the best life possible. My work is to help you find out what the problem is and to find out what supports and strengths you already have and used in the past. Together we will explore solutions.

Accepting new clients! Tess is an empathic, kind, and nonjudgmental counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals overcome their struggles with mental health, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to heal from past traumas. Stress and anxiety, depression, behaviour and relationship difficulties have feelings of shame and self-criticism at their core. Directing compassion toward ourselves can allow us to feel safe and accepted, giving us the caring motivation to work through our suffering, to change unhelpful patterns, connect with our values, and get the most out of our life.
