*Currently accepting NEW clients* - You deserve to feel better. I am so excited and honoured to be a therapist and provide effective therapy (with genuine care). I see all kinds of humans in my practice, who show up struggling with all kinds of human issues. I am excited (and humbled) to work with you on whatever brings you to therapy. Our work together is informed by my experience (nearly twelve years in the mental health system, including hospitals and a school board), knowledge, and more formal certifications (in modalities like CBT for instance -- but there is so much more than CBT!), and of course by you and the uniqueness of your stories and experiences. Please consider reaching out -- I would love to hear from 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!

Cynthia Roblin
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a clinically proven method for addressing a range of mental health concerns. For the past 3 years I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of personality disorders, life challenges/transitions, as well as relationship dynamics. Through a reparative therapeutic alliance we can work to understand the challenges you may be facing in your life. By exploring your past , we can connect what patterns and beliefs that may be hindering you today in order to improve your relationships with others and yourself. I am also under the supervision of a Feminist Supervisor and am expanding my modalities to include feminist therapy which really works to help understand the oppressive structures of patriarchy on both men and women and how they play out in our lives but with a particular focus on women's social justice and women's issues.
