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!

Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
*Accepting New Clients* I understand that therapy can feel overwhelming, that it can be hard and demanding work that requires vulnerability when facing and feeling emotions that are difficult to cope with. My goal as a therapist, is to tailor my approach to ease this process by creating an open, compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where we will work to help you better understand internal self, your values, and your relationship to yourself and to others. I work with individuals, couples, families, children (6+) and youth and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.

of Salt & Sky Therapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
At of Salt & Sky, we’ve created a practice for the messy, complicated parts of being human. The things that happened years ago but still show up today. Relationships that leave you questioning yourself. A body or illness that has changed the life you thought you’d have. The exhaustion of holding everything together, or the feeling that somewhere along the way, you lost a little of yourself.
Our therapists don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We bring different personalities, experiences, and approaches to the work, but share the same goal: to understand the person in front of us, not simply the problem that brought them through the door. Therapy here can be thoughtful and challenging, practical when you need it to be, and human enough that there’s room to laugh, too.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
I tell every new client I meet with, "don't worry, just because we're meeting for the first time does not mean you're stuck with me." It's so important to find a good fit. This means that you are free to find a therapist that both specializes in why you're reaching out, but also one that you connect with on a personal level. If both of those criteria are not met then you probably won't find success. I'd love to connect, but please know that the pressure is off. If I'm not a great fit, we'll look to find a better one. Ultimately this is about you, and that's a good thing!
