Creative Spirit Therapy by Kari Gundersen
Registered Psychotherapist, RTC, RYT
It's not easy to reach out and ask for help. But what I want you to know is that everyone needs somebody to talk to at some point in their lives. It doesn't mean you're weak or sick or less than anyone else. It just helps to have a neutral third party you can say anything to. No matter what's coming up for you now, you can talk to me.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.
