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!

Emmy Montemurro-Baxter
Registered Psychotherapist, MScEd, RP, RMFT
The combination of my past work experience in human services, my 25+ years in private practice, and my life experience, I have learned that every person is unique and faces unique challenges. I have developed a multi modal approach to therapy as I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on their situation, their values and their needs.
Life is full of challenges and at times such challenges may leave one feeling overwhelmed or stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whether what one is facing is a minor or a major concern, engaging in therapy can be helpful in many ways. Through talk therapy my aim is to gain and understanding of the uniques ness of each individual and to assist them to
manage the stresses they face
recognize there own strengths
bring clarity to their thoughts, emotions and feeling
define their goals
identify and assess possible courses of action
and
move forward with intention

I’m so glad you stumbled on here! Now with that being said, if you are still reading this, it probably means you have a strong desire to seek therapy or may be wrestling with the idea of whether it would be beneficial for you to try. You have taken the first most important step by clicking onto my website and reading through each page, congrats!
Despite all the chaos happening in your life, I’m here to support and unwind with you. It is my honour to sit in the passenger seat while you take control in the driver’s seat as we explore through your world. Life can feel complicated at times, and it is okay to not feel okay. Drawing from my diverse educational and work experiences with a B.A. in Social Science, M.A. in Counselling Psychology, a post graduate certificate in Addictions and Mental Health, and continuing my extensive trainings. I am confident that I can support you as I come with many years of experience working with diverse clients and supporting them with their substance use addictions, behavioural addictions, gambling, life transition and trauma since 2018 as a counsellor and now transitioned into a therapist. I have worked at various settings from private and non for profit facilities, clinics, residential homes, and the withdrawal management centre. I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance/rapport with all my clients, so I can collaboratively work closely with you to tackle your presenting concerns by guiding you through the challenges you face in your day to day life.
Our therapeutic journey is all about setting goals, tracking your progress and celebrating each accomplishment, understanding the root cause(s), and learning new coping strategies to help you navigate a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. I believe therapy is a place for you to openly speak about what is on your mind and how you feel without feeling judged, ashamed, or guilty. My role is to support you, as you re-discover yourself and tap into your inner self through reflection. I can support you as you make connections and recognize your unhealthy patterns, bring up your self-awareness, confidence and self-esteem, and most importantly give yourself credit for the change you are making to improve your life with self-love, self-compassion, and strength by gathering the tools and resources you need to cope. I live by the saying “it’s all about you”, which means you deserve to live the life that you desire without any limitations.
My ultimate goal is for you to navigate the world without me, once our work together has completed when we reach your final destination. Now fasten your seat belt, as we go for a ride together to start your journey in therapy. I look forward to hearing from you, let’s get started today!
