Lavendar Meadows Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BSS, MACP, MST, OCT
Hi, I'm Lindsay! I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work in the school system as a certified teacher and at the rink, coaching young athletes in figure skating. During this time, I developed a passion in supporting children, teens and young adults.
My Counselling approach is focused on the therapeutic relationship, relational, holistic, client-centred and trauma-informed. I strive to create a non-judgemental environment guided by confidentiality, empathy, and compassion. My practice is supervised by a Registered Social Worker as I work towards my license.
Together we will work to enhance your self awareness, develop self compassion and challenge your thoughts that bring about specific emotions and feelings so you can live a more well-balanced and fulfilling life. I look forward to connecting with 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!

Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!

Suzan Erritzoe, Being One Counselling & Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, Transpersonal Counsellor DK
I help couples and individuals open into more of what most people deeply long for; Intimacy, meaning and real connectedness - to grow into what answers and nurtures Who, and What we are, beyond the conditioned structures of self, and world-created selves.
In our sessions, my aim is to empower this deeper and real self in you; your being- I will reflect back to you what you don't see of your own potential, and I will offer you a way to follow that can only be walked with your heart open...
