Suze Prudent
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
As a psychologist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I enjoy helping people to appreciate how the patterns that have brought them to my office were once creative solutions to earlier obstacles in meeting their emotional needs. These patterns eventually became emotional habits that involve negative ways of seeing themselves and others, and of relating. Since these problematic patterns developed in the context of relationships, I believe that supportive, containing relationships are crucial in changing them.

There’s no one therapeutic approach to help us live happier lives. Recovery from painful experiences, emotional or physical abuse, a complicated hurt-filled relationship, impasses at work, coping mechanisms that no longer help—these different challenges deserve flexible approaches. Childhood skills no longer fit the problems we face as adults. Grief that couldn’t be dealt with then is more complicated now. Relief from depression and anxiety cannot work if confidence, strength, and intimacy are blocked. Understanding the whole person—creating new approaches and thoughtful solutions to problems—is the way I think and work.

My apologies, but I am currently unable to take on any new insurance clients. If you are uninsured and willing to self-pay, I may make an exception. Otherwise, you may send me an email and ask to be placed on my waiting list. I work extensively with compulsive behaviours, depression, relationship issues, codependency, sleep disorders, career confusion, and disorganization. I offer a nice blend of pragmatic and abstract responses, a touch of humour, and a vast array of resources to direct you to for additional help.

The people I see are interested in working hard on the core issues interfering with their relationships and work. Therapy happens in real time in one's life, and should aim to resolve these issues without delay. When I see people initially, and when I teach other therapists, I emphasize that a feeling that something real is happening, that it is having an impact, should be part of the process from the beginning, even if one recognizes there is a lot of work to do.

Do you feel stuck in life or emotionally overwhelmed? Have you recently experienced a crisis or endured a painful loss? Have recently relocated and have difficulties adjusting?

In my work with couples, as well as with individuals and families, I strive to help people create the relationships they want. I approach therapy with a warm and collaborative style, asking non-judgmental questions and using a balance of sensitivity and humor. I find that people often get stuck in patterns of relating that aren't working for them, and I assist people in creating new habits, in which they feel heard, respected and cared for.

Having been in practice as a psychologist for more than 30 years, I am convinced that change and growth take place within the safety and warmth of a truly understanding, and collaborative relationship. It has been a privilege to do this work and I am grateful for the opportunity to bear witness and contribute to my patients' lives. Our journeys are often complicated and demanding with places along the way that can be overwhelming, painful and confusing. Awareness and willingness to seek help when you are at an impasse is perhaps the most important step in the process of psychotherapy.

During this time of high uncertainty, are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? You are not alone! Throughout our life, we are called to cope with life's hiccups, demands, frenetic pace by taking a deep breath, staying calm, going to the gym, spending time with family and friends, engrossing ourselves at work and going about our normal routines. Right now, our world as we knew it, is shifting beneath our feet and our capacity to cope is being stretched. We are digging deep to find our inner strength, implementing formerly successful coping skills and finding creative ways to remotely connect with those we love.
