Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
I believe that healing is a creative and embodied process. As an expressive arts and somatic therapist, I am guided by the understanding that our bodies, emotions, and imaginations hold profound wisdom. In my work, I invite movement, image, sound, and story to help people discover new pathways to resilience, connection, and self-understanding.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I support clients in tuning into the signals of their bodies, exploring their inner landscapes, and expressing what may be difficult to put into words. I see therapy as a space where what has been held can be released, where identity can be reclaimed, and where the nervous system can finally exhale.
Whether someone is navigating trauma, stress, transition, or a longing for deeper authenticity, I strive to create a space where their whole being is welcomed. My intention is always to help others reconnect with their innate aliveness, creativity, and capacity for healing.

Therapist, EXA
Humans are social animals. We require deeply embodied and interdependent relationships in order to thrive, it is a part of our genetic and evolutionary design.The deepest core of all human trauma is the fear, “I am alone here”. If we experienced this to be true, at any point in our lives, our incredibly adaptive brain will create survival strategies in order to avoid experiencing this aloneness again. The difficulty is that for many of us, the greatest harm we experience is within relationship. Many of our mental “disorders” come from this broken internal loop, “I need to be connected - connection has caused me harm”. This is why therapy exists. It provides a safe enough space to begin the work of connecting again first to yourself, and then with the ecosystem around you.

Audrey Palmer-Genesis Clinical Services
Registered Psychotherapist, CYW,MTS,RP (Registered Psychotherapist)
I'm a therapist in Toronto and I believe that each individual is the expert in themselves, and as such, they enter into a relationship with the therapist to move forward toward wholeness. I also believe that most of what we experience is temporary as we look at the extent of our lives. I caution individuals not to make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. Therapy is the process of understanding what has derailed the individual and actively move them back to a place of equilibrium.
After 25 years of practice, I bring knowledge, insight and numerous skills to my work with clients. Whether I'm treating trauma, or helping clients apply the insights offered by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, or utilizing the concepts of resilience to their experience, I am a fairly creative and utilize the client's creativity to help move them forward. By asking questions, offering perspectives, and suggesting ways to engage in the process beyond the confines of the session itself. My central role is to establish a caring and therapeutic relationship with each and every client. Contact me for a fifteen min. phone session.
