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!

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen and safe enough to be honest. Many of the people I work with are high achievers and caregivers who have spent a long time holding it together, even while feeling anxious, disconnected, or drained. They’re often tired of people pleasing, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen.
Before I became a therapist, I was a classically trained pianist. Music taught me how to listen closely, notice what’s unspoken, and sit with emotion without rushing it away. That early foundation shaped the way I work now: with patience, attunement, and deep respect for your story.
In therapy, we’ll gently unpack what’s keeping you stuck, build emotion regulation and self trust, and help you move toward balance, clarity, and more secure connections. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
