North York, Ontario therapist: EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre, registered social worker
Serving LGBTQ+

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre

Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here. You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them. Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Niagara Falls, Ontario therapist: Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT, registered psychotherapist
Serving LGBTQ+

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!

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist

Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: Sehr Athar, registered social worker
Serving LGBTQ+

Sehr Athar

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our innate skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges. I look forward to holding this space for you.
