Equine Therapy can help individuals and families build confidence, self -efficiency, communication, trust, social skills, impulse control and learn healthy boundary setting. Horses are great therapists because they give immediate feedback. Research shows positive physical and psychological results from humans interacting with horses. These include, but are not limited to , decreased blood pressure and heart rate, lower levels of stress, reduced feelings of tension, anxiety, anger and hostility, as well as increased levels of beta-endorphins, and beneficial feelings of self -esteem, empowerment, patience and trust. Often clients experiencing anxiety and ocd have difficulty relating to other human beings, and will not accept closeness with another, but they will with horses. There is a bond that develops over time with equine - assisted therapy that is profound and natural . This bond helps with affection, assertiveness, confidence , empathy,self-control, responsibility, unconditional acceptance. This type of therapy is experiential and provides opportunities for metaphorical learning. Using metaphors , either in activities or discussion, is an effective technique for working with individuals. Non-verbal communication with a Horse helps clients better understand themselves and how they relate with others in the world. Equine-assisted therapy is psychodrama, which allows action to help heal the past, clarify the situation in the present, and help you envision a brighter future.

Counsellor/Therapist, RP
**IN-PERSON SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE**
I believe that therapy should be approachable and accessible and often describe my style as, "not your mother's therapist".
Sessions will focus on understanding how the events of your life have created a roadmap for how you view yourself, others, and the world. Therapy will allow you to redraw your map, repair the potholes, and create healthy relationships.
This exploration, along with new coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation will allow you to experience short-term relief and make long-term changes.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
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!

Lauren Fiamelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW
When working with a client I try to tailor my approach to counselling based on your specific needs, personality, and story. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can say what you don’t feel you can say anywhere else. I operate in an anti-oppressive framework, in recognition of marginalized communities’ and individual’s unique challenges. I feel that laughter can be a strong medicine. My hope is to be a place where you can be yourself and not filter yourself. I hope to cover as many chapters as you would like to share, so we can figure out what the next chapters of your life can be about.
