Lindsay Renaud (EMDR, Trauma, Relationship, ADHD)
Registered Psychotherapist, H.B.A., B.Ed., M.A., EMDR
Not sure where to start or if therapy will help? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something’s missing? Trauma, grief, relationships, ADHD, anxiety, career stress—it’s a lot to carry alone and it can drain our battery. I understand what it's like to sit in the client's seat with these feelings and thoughts and I am here to help. Think of me as your GPS—you set the destination, and I’ll help guide you, redirecting as needed along the way. I specialize in trauma, using approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you make sense of your past and lower the distress levels of those memories.
Further, being married/together for 15 years, I understand the complexities that relationships can bring. If you're looking for relationship counselling, I help couples improve communication and conflict through practical tools and strategies (using Gottman and EFT). Or maybe 4 walls are not for you? I also offer walk-and-talk therapy & animal therapy.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation—I look forward to walking alongside you on your path, however that may look.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
I believe that healing is a creative and embodied process. As an expressive arts and somatic therapist, I am guided by the understanding that our bodies, emotions, and imaginations hold profound wisdom. In my work, I invite movement, image, sound, and story to help people discover new pathways to resilience, connection, and self-understanding.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I support clients in tuning into the signals of their bodies, exploring their inner landscapes, and expressing what may be difficult to put into words. I see therapy as a space where what has been held can be released, where identity can be reclaimed, and where the nervous system can finally exhale.
Whether someone is navigating trauma, stress, transition, or a longing for deeper authenticity, I strive to create a space where their whole being is welcomed. My intention is always to help others reconnect with their innate aliveness, creativity, and capacity for healing.

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!
