Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
“You’re too emotional.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”
“You’re too hard on yourself.”
Do these judgments sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone.
I’m passionate about working with individuals who experience the world deeply and whose sensitivity, intuition, and awareness are an important part of who they are. Being highly sensitive can be a strength, but it can also feel overwhelming when emotions, stress, or difficult experiences become hard to manage.
Many of my clients feel stuck despite their best efforts to cope. They may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief and loss, or lingering effects of traumatic experiences, while relying on coping strategies that no longer seem to be working.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and explore what may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll develop greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthen your connection with yourself, and build practical skills to navigate life’s emotional challenges.
You don’t need to become less sensitive or change who you are. Therapy can help you better understand and work with the way you experience the world—so you can move toward a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and truly your own.

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!

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins.
You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story.
Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running.
What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.
