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!

Josh Sebastian
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker
Hi there! My name is Josh, and I am a Registered Social Worker. Beyond my role as a social worker, I am also a son of South Indian immigrant parents and am continuously growing in this role of finding space to honour my culture in our Western society. Through this, I have come to value community, vulnerability, respect, and authenticity, and strive to be a forever learner to encourage both personal and professional growth. I provide both in-person and virtual therapy and am based in Burlington. Whether we meet online or in person, I promise to create a non-judgemental and safe environment where we meet, reflect, unpack, and move forward together. I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” method and take the first few sessions to get to know you and tailor my approach to fit your needs.

Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
I am a registered psychotherapist with experience over 15 years in psychotherapy and counselling. I work with individuals and couples. I specialize in working with anxiety, anger, depression, lack of motivation, and hopelessness. I am also very experienced in teaching communication skills and negotiations.
Everything is possible if you work on it, so I am focused on solutions and actions in practice. I try to be creative and use evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches.
My sessions are focused on results, but I use a deep understanding and analysis of the roots of the issues. I have a background in CBT, psychoanalysis and psychodynamic techniques.
