Specializing in women's mental health (pregnancy/postpartum, parenting); youth and adult social anxiety, trauma recovery, depression, loss/grief. I support youth and adult clients seeking relief from difficult emotions to regain a sense of control and joy in life. You and your family do not have to suffer alone. If you are struggling with managing your emotions, or unsure how to support a loved one struggling, and want to change how you're coping, reach out. If you're looking for a therapist that will listen to you, respect you and gently encourage growth let's chat about your needs, and the support I can provide.
I offer supportive, compassionate and judgement free online psychotherapy services. I am trained in effective psychotherapy (CBT, DBT) that targets unhelpful coping and provides skills to help you manage. Areas of specialty include: pregnancy/postpartum mood and adjustment concerns, anxiety; trauma/PTSD; grief/loss; stress; life transitions; depression.
Reach out to schedule a free consult- together we can discuss your needs. Visit my website, www.brightbirchtherapy.com, to learn about my experience, training, and how I can support you. You do not have to manage alone- support is available for you. Virtual sessions available for NS and NB, Negotiable home visits available in HRM for child and youth.
