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!

Jola Mecani
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MPP, BA
Therapy with me is about more than finding ways to cope with what you're feeling. I'm interested in understanding the patterns underneath, how you learned to protect yourself, what happens when you feel hurt or disconnected, and what your emotions may be trying to communicate.
I bring warmth, curiosity and honesty into the therapy room, while also being an active and engaged therapist. I won't simply sit back and listen; I'll help you slow things down, notice what is happening beneath the surface, and make connections that may be difficult to see when you're in the middle of it. Whether you're coming on your own or with your partner, you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what needs to change. We can figure that out together.

Mélanie Pelletier Schrauwers
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Therapy is not about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about understanding how you came to be the way you are, and making space for who you want to become or simply exploring who that may be.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, and I work online with adults across Ontario, in English or in French. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic principles which allows us to build a strong therapeutic alliance then discover what makes each of us unique. My purpose is to help clients become aware of conscious and unconscious parts of themselves. Understanding patterns and behaviour while walking away from their shame. I value "parts work", which sees the different sides of us, like the part that works hard to protect you, the part that’s exhausted, and the part that’s hurting, as having something important to say. Together, we listen to each of them with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
I bring a diverse, equity-informed lens to my work. Your background, identity, and lived experience matter, and I want you to feel seen and respected as the whole person you are.
I have a special interest in "Food Trauma" or the relation between the self and food. Past experience of abundance or scarcity, cultural eating habits and other situation which may affect how we nourish our bodies and how we exist in them.
In our sessions, you can expect a calm, steady space where you set the pace. If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, I’d be glad to hear from you.
