Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Therapy is not meant to last forever, it is a tool to serve you, and the only way to know if the tool worked for you is with successful completion of your goals. I describe myself as your human GPS, sitting in the passengers' seat while you sit in the drivers seat, you tell me where you want to go and I will get you there! Despite all the challenges you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are your own expert and you already have all your own answers. Sometimes challenging experiences have clouded access to this internal knowing. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals. It takes a lot of courage to begin this journey inside yourself. Together, we can understand the root cause, nurture it back to vitality & feel the ripple effect on all parts of your life.
I am also currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Medicine, which gives me alternative healing practices to incorporate into your treatment if/as you wish. I breathe this work, it is my love and passion. It is my utmost pleasure and honor to work with you and help guide you to the wise inner wisdom that resides within every human, today!

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!
