Jaime Brand
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
I am passionate about helping people overcome the obstacles/challenges keeping them from living their best and most-fulfilling lives. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or somewhere in between, you do not have to work through it alone. In a collaborative partnership, built on a foundation of genuine care, I am committed to working with you to explore, uncover, and work through whatever is getting in your way.
My approach to therapy is an integrative and holistic one that honours the unique experiences, lives, and worldviews of every client to identify and utilize their strengths, highlight their values, and deepen their sense of self. I look forward to connecting with you.

Rhoda Lalog
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Qualifying
As an HR Professional with over 20 years in the corporate world, my passion has always been about empowering people and working as a team. As a consultant, mentor, coach and now a therapist, my gift is helping you see the authenticity of your own strengths and superpowers. I truly believe that each person has the inner wisdom to embark on a path of self-care, balance and harmony but sometimes we may get stuck and need help along the way. I believe my role is to support you in uncovering the layers of unconscious, old-patterned beliefs that may have temporarily clouded your ability to live your best life. Together, we can co-create a space that allows you to feel safe enough to be radically honest in order to make incremental steps forward for lasting change. We all want to feel a sense of peace and stability in our lives. Through your journey of self-discovery in our sessions, my aim will be to guide you into seeing new perspectives, offer you a non-judgmental space for emotional acceptance and provide you with practical tools that will empower you to experience your mind, body and spirit in a holistic way.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!
