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!

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you

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.

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.
