Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
We live in a stressful world and deal with stressful people almost every day. Stress can be felt in all areas of our lives. How you manage stress is a product of the environment you were raised in and whether you have helpful coping skills. I can help you better learn why you are stressed and what you can do about it.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Sometimes clients may feel hopeless in managing their stress levels. They may have longer than desired work hours, too many chores to complete, and not enough leisure time. In therapy, I help clients manage stress by first gaining insight into the cause of stress. Understanding where the stress comes from assists with acknowledging the factors that maintain stress.
I also help clients acknowledge their role in the maintenance of stress in order to gain control over their lives and prevent further feelings of burnout and exhaustion. Although some stressors in life are inevitable, such as deadlines and bills, therapy involves focusing on some of the thoughts and emotions that exacerbate feelings of stress in response to life demands. We also engage in problem solving strategies largely through solution focused and cognitive behavioural approaches to determine stressors that are controllable, even though clients may initially anticipate no factors to be within their control.
After working through a range of possibilities to improve wellbeing clients often gain awareness of the resources that they have in order to cope with life demands.

HealthWise Hypnosis
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Everyone has different triggers for their particular stress-related problems. By accessing the subconscious mind, we can address underlying causes of stress and develop personalized strategies to navigate challenging situations with ease.
Through hypnosis, you can gain a greater sense of control over your emotions, develop coping mechanisms, and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to stress. This can enhance emotional resilience and improve your ability to handle stressful situations effectively.
As a hypnotherapist, I can also equip you with various stress reduction techniques that can be used outside of therapy sessions. These techniques may include self-hypnosis, guided imagery, breathing exercises, or mindfulness practices. By incorporating these techniques into your daily routine, you can effectively manage stress and promote relaxation even outside of the therapeutic environment.
