Grace Driedger

Do you find yourself surrounded by personalities; perhaps within your family, friends or co-workers, that you often feel your voice is overshadowed? Are you the therapist, the mediator, or the advice giver for your networks? Do you often find yourself being the one that people rely on but you don’t quite feel the same support is reciprocated for yourself leaving you wondering “when will it ever be my turn?” Do you find yourself saying “it is what it is” when talking about your past or current experiences with your family and/or partners. Do you ever have moments where you’re by yourself driving and you notice how tight your jaw is, or maybe you wonder to yourself “how long have I been holding my breath for”. Maybe you’re starting to notice that the strategies you once used are no longer feeling good or helpful anymore; such as: shopping, eating, alcohol, social media or substances. You’ve read all the books and listened to all the podcasts but feeling frustrated still of having the awareness but not being able to put the pieces together. Sometimes our voice isn’t being heard, and sometimes we may not even be aware that it isn’t. But our bodies are aware. And our bodies are giving us the message that something in our life; relationships, environment, habits are not feeling good. I am passionate about providing you with a space to focus on you. To hear your voice. I am here to give you a space to slowly and gently put the pieces together. You deserve to identify your own needs. You deserve to have your needs met. My personal practice will often include utilizing movement and nature as a form of therapy and healing. As such; my offerings within my clinical therapeutic practice can include: individual psychotherapy, walk and talk psychotherapy sessions, individual yoga sessions, group yoga sessions, and a combination of yoga, nervous system regulation and psychotherapy. I have provided individual, couples, and group counselling to teenagers and adults who are experiencing or have experienced: addiction, sexual assault, intergenerational trauma, prenatal/postnatal support, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. I believe that no concern is too big or too small for an individual to access supports and resources.
