I am an Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP) therapist. Trauma can present in the body in a variety of ways; witnessing a violent or horrific event(s), car accidents, surgeries, a serious sports injury(ies), being a soldier or civilian in war, being a first responder, being trafficked, as well as survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. This therapy addresses trauma that shows up in the body, causing ailments that appear to have no medical rationale.

I believe in genuine connection with my clients, and I use an approach centred on relationships, bringing in techniques based on Gestalt, Bowen’s Family Systems Theory, Transpersonal Psychology, AEDP, Somatic, and Experiential Therapy (among others).
As a therapist specializing in trauma-informed care and a Health & Wellness Coach, my focus is on cultivating confidence, self-awareness, and empowerment in my clients. Whether through a light-hearted approach or a deeper exploration, I strive to enhance understanding of the emotions that shape the narratives we construct about ourselves and the world. I encourage clients to view their lives through intentional lenses, prompting reflection on how their choices and perspectives align with their goals and values.

I consider both top-down (brain retraining) and bottom-up (somatic) evidence-based modalities to help you overcome the effects of stress, trauma, and chronic illness symptoms and come back into balance and health.
My approach to psychotherapy is balanced and holistic, which gets to the root of my clients' chronic stress, depression, overeating, fatigue, anxiety, and nervous system imbalances and aims for their overall wellness. I have a background in wellness and disability management and over a decade of experience working in mental health. In my work, I use trauma-informed, neuroscience-based interventions that go beyond talk therapy. I will teach you to gain a deeper understanding of your nervous system processes, help regulate your emotions and physical reactions, and retrain your brain so it changes its unhelpful responses to stress.

I tend to rely on EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and psychodynamic approaches.
There are times in life that can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone - my goal is to come alongside you, so you don't have to feel this way. If you are struggling with guilt, shame, life transitions, anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns, I can help. I also support adults, teens, and parents who are struggling with relationship dynamics, suicidal ideation, or those who have experienced traumatic events.

We’ll navigate feelings and somatic (body) sensations that emerge.
Do you ever feel like you're wearing a mask that doesn't match how you feel inside? Whether it's intentional or not, the cost of this may be anxiety, loneliness, or unintended harm to those around you. With care and direction, I'll make space for all of you (including those quieter parts that may want to be heard). Whether you're stressed and overwhelmed or craving more authenticity, I'll help you explore different barriers like 'people-pleasing', fear of judgment, or past traumas that get in the way. Let's find inner fulfillment and strengthen the connections in your life by tending to your authentic voice and needs.

I use EMDR, internal family systems, and somatic work that specialize in deepening people's understanding of themselves, leading them to rediscover or redefine their authentic selves.

My curiosity and intention to be of real help has led me to in-depth study of therapeutic approaches that include the body and mind: Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, Focusing & Psychedelic Integration.
I offer an individualized approach to adapting & growing with life challenges. The primary concerns I work with include: traumatic or stressful experiences, grief & loss & the symptoms of depression, anxiety, & insomnia. I begin with learning what is important & meaningful to you, clarify your present concerns & also how you will know when our work is done(!) Therapy takes time, energy & commitment but does not go on forever! I find it most effective to meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis until we evaluate our work is done, or a less frequent schedule makes sense. Note: I work only with adults in individual or group therapy.

"There are gifts and transformations embedded within trauma." My counselling approach is holistic and relationally based with a focus on a somatic (body) awareness to bring congruency between the mind and body. Many of our wounds occurred within our most trusted relationships causing us to have difficulties getting close to loved ones. Also, we become disconnected from ourselves when we experience trauma or disruptions in relationships. The good news is, with the right support, everyone has an inner capacity to heal and transform from their struggles.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, down, or disconnected? Is there a critical voice in your head that just won't give you space? Are you caught up in unhelpful patterns that you can’t seem to break? It’s no secret that life can be painful, messy, and challenging. Maybe you find yourself struggling to navigate the hardships you’re facing, or maybe survival mode is all you’ve ever known. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t need to carry it alone.

The human experience can be exhausting and confusing at times… “Can I just get a break!?” If you are reading this, it’s likely you may have reached a point of exhaustion and the logical brain keeps telling you “but, I don’t know why/how…” I’ve been there. The body holds inner stories that are trying to be told, but when the mind doesn’t know how to process them, they show up as anxiety, depression, and/or behaviors that directly impact our connection to ourselves and others.

Hello, I'm Sarah, a registered art therapist - welcome! Art therapy is a versatile and connective approach that allows clients to gain mastery over their issues through expression and creation. Art therapy can meet the needs of those in search of more than a typical therapy session. It is uniquely suited to engage with inner creativity as well as make room for the things words can not always express. Traditional counselling techniques and approaches are incorporated with the art making process to create a well-rounded healing approach.

Welcome. You do not have to handle all of life's challenges alone. I have been told that I have a warm presence that allows clients to feel at ease. I want to hear about what is causing your distress and help you get some relief and strategies to manage. I work with you to find the tools that will work for you, whether you want to manage your anxiety, help lift off the fog of depression, or open up space and find options where you may think you don't have any. Counselling can support you through navigating change if you are at a crossroads.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde. Hello, and welcome to Pamati Counselling. Pamati means listen in Cebuano. I am from mixed Asian ancestry, including Filipino, Chinese and Vietnamese. I was born in Toronto, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. My pronouns are she/her/they/them and I identify with the LGBTQ2s community. The intersectional movements of MeToo, and MMWGI, and Black Lives Matter inform my work.
