Christian
Lavendar Meadows Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BSS, MACP, MST, OCT
Hi, I'm Lindsay! I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work in the school system as a certified teacher and at the rink, coaching young athletes in figure skating. During this time, I developed a passion in supporting children, teens and young adults.
My Counselling approach is focused on the therapeutic relationship, relational, holistic, client-centred and trauma-informed. I strive to create a non-judgemental environment guided by confidentiality, empathy, and compassion. My practice is supervised by a Registered Social Worker as I work towards my license.
Together we will work to enhance your self awareness, develop self compassion and challenge your thoughts that bring about specific emotions and feelings so you can live a more well-balanced and fulfilling life. I look forward to connecting with you!

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!

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Our passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, angry or irritable. Are you experiencing relational difficulties or frustrations, and do you feel triggered by important others in your life? Do you sometimes find it difficult to identify or articulate your feelings? Do you cope with your feelings by avoiding them or shutting down? Do you sometimes 'people please', or feel driven to achieve to feel a sense of self-worth and safety, or to escape your feelings? Are you ready to get to the bottom of things? If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better, managing anxiety, perfectionism, trauma or depression, I can help. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help, and how life can open up when you do. Our team strives to provide relevant, responsive and collaborative therapy by prioritizing rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties, even though some days it can feel that way; and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-Focused, Cognitive Behavioural/Acceptance and Commitment, Dialectical Behavioural, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing to tailor therapy to you. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
Please note that at the moment, I am seeing all clients virtually.
