Prolonged Exposure Therapy in L4Z

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Things happen. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Panic attacks, flashbacks, sadness and feelings of uncomfortable tension might become a part of everyday existence. Our attempts at coping help at first, then end up by compounding the pain. Worry, procrastination, excessive defensiveness, addictions or even perfectionism, are all examples of initially helpful coping strategies that backfire over time. We might worry about our problems daily, and yet remain unable to face them. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can help make sense of things.

It can seem daunting to reach out for help when feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or incomplete. I aim to create a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative approach in which we work together to identify your concerns and goals, understand obstacles you are facing, and learn skills to grow and evolve. Before we start, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together will be a good fit.

Hello, my name is Rebecca (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I obtained my Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology as well as a minor in Gender Studies prior to completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Throughout my education, I learned the importance of awareness of intersectionality, and how overlapping identities such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and religion, can be empowering and oppressing at the same time. I believe it is important to acknowledge and explore how these social identities and the roles that you hold play a part in your life experiences.

We were not meant to be perfect; but we were meant to live a wholesome and purposeful life. Therefore, I support individuals and their families through significant life challenges to develop a sense of completeness and fulfillment. To do that, I create a safe space of empathy, trust and understanding for healing, growth and resilience to occur. My main focus is to help persons overcome difficulties, build self-esteem and resilience, increase confidence; and most importantly, discover that peace and love within themselves.

I always say - life has 3 guarantees: constant work, pain and change/uncertainty. We are all going to experience these things at one point or another, and when it's present, it's not uncommon to feel disconnected and overwhelmed. I'm here to help you rediscover your way back to balance and well-being. My philosophy is simple: many of our struggles, whether they're related to trauma, relationships, life transitions, family conflicts, or anxiety, can often be traced back to disconnection - from yourself and from others.

I am an Occupational Therapist (OT), Psychotherapist working in the field of spiritual/transpersonal psychology. The term "occupation" in OT does not directly refer to your job (a common misconception!). Rather, "occupations" are defined as your personally meaningful activities. I collaborate with clients who are interested in engaging in more spiritual, self-care & leisure activities to help improve their mental health. As your OT, I will combine activity engagement, spiritual care and psychotherapeutic modalities (Emotional Freedom Techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, etc.) to support your healing/recovery.

I use authentic, warm, genuine, compassionate, solution-focused, collaborative and humanistic approach to treatment. I provide guidance, support, and encouragement to clients from various backgrounds in dealing with complex emotions and mental health concerns. Creating emotional safety, peace, and non-judgemental space is fundamental to my practice.
