We are often told that I have the ability to find hope in what seems hopeless. Feeling heard and being understood without judgment are often integral steps toward significant change. After 30+ years in the public mental health field, we have learned that most people can work through challenges, yet at times, we benefit from being reminded of our strengths and what we need and deserve in order to thrive as unique individuals. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions Focused, Strength Based and Narrative Therapy. There are several associates on our team that are trained as social workers and registered psychiatric nurses as we aim to meet as many of our client's needs as we can. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy developed by based on the adaptive information processing (AIP) model, which posits that trauma is stored and stuck in the brains neural network. Any memory of a traumatic event causes a person to connect to the negative feelings, body sensations and cognitions associated with it. The goal is to add adaptive emotions to the neural network. This is obtained through bilateral stimulation, a process that creates new neural pathways and the ability to access the stored trauma. This allows for the reprocessing of the trauma and a reduction of associated anxiety, thereby creating new associations with memories and increasing adaptive behaviours. We welcome you to contact us for a complimentary 15 minute consultation with one of our skilled practitioners so you can assess whether or not our services are a good fit for your needs. We look forward to hearing from you. Sally-Anne
