Tina Bohin
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. I also have an abundance of experience in the realm of sexuality and education including: self-confidence, navigating relationships, arousal, kink, exploring sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity and sexual health.
The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you. I strive to offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can collaboratively and compassionately work through your challenges. Kindly feel free to reach out with a questions about my qualifications! Let’s work together to explore and address your unique experiences and needs. Please give our office a call to book your first session. I am looking forward to meeting you!

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!
