Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Niverville, MB

Empowering you to navigate life's challenges. Welcome! Thank you for being here. It takes tremendous courage to seek change. I am passionate about delivering quality mental health care by building authentic connections to cultivate empathic understanding towards meaningful self growth. I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental self exploration, and provide a space where vulnerability feels safe. I will help you discover your inner strengths to apply new skills to meet life’s challenges with improved confidence. When you are empowered, you can move away from self doubt, overcome limiting beliefs, and expand your vision of what's possible.

At B.I.G Therapy you can explore all the little things that make big problems in your life. We all have that inner child that needs to be heard. Offering an environment for you that is nonjudgemental, accepting and warm. My therapeutic approach tends to be a blend of Attachment, Narrative, Internal Family Systems and Emotionally-Focused therapy. However, I tailor my approach to the needs of each client and so make use of other therapy styles from time to time.

I specialize in addictions and co-occurring mental health concerns. I have experience working closely with individuals from all walks of life who have struggled with moderate to severe mental health and addiction issues. I approach my work with a holistic, inclusive, trauma-informed and client-centred lens to better understand the inner complexities an individual might struggle with, often due to many outer complexities.

Everyone struggles in life and sometimes those challenges can feel overwhelming. Asking for help can be hard but it demonstrates strength and courage. We all have a need to feel seen, heard and understood—especially during our most difficult times. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together we will expand on, and enhance your self-awareness and ability to cope with life’s most challenging moments.

My practice is guided by therapeutic strategies/models including Child-Centered Animal-Assisted Therapy, Attachment-based, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psycho-educational, Theraplay and Mindfulness. I have experience treating adults, children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, ADHD, separation/divorce, attachment, social skills, grief/loss, self-regulation and anger management.

“In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way." - Yoda. Welcome to my profile, and congratulations on starting the first part of your process by looking for someone to help you move forward. A good client-therapist fit is essential for opening up. So I urge you to please click on the Website link so you can get a better feel for my tone and approach. I come from a strong academic and training background, but therapy isn't as clinical feeling as you may imagine. My clients frequently remark on how opening up is much more comfortable than they anticipated.

Carla believes in community and personal connections. She helps people see their resilience and hope for the future in finding pathways for change by meeting people where they are at. Carla understands the importance of culture, identity, and finding new stories through narrative therapy to honour the past and encourage creative, empathetic, and courageous links for the future. Carla provides Psilocybin-Assisted and MDMA-assisted Therapy to clients who have been granted legal access by Health Canada, as well as preparation and integration to the broader public as a harm reduction measure.

Life has many twists and turns; progress is not linear. Throughout the course of therapy, we will explore the roots of current issues and challenges, making way for healing and growth. I use a person-centered approach, and incorporate mindfulness-based practices, attachment theory and narrative therapy in my sessions. I work with a wide variety of individuals with varying ages and abilities, honouring diversity and inclusive practices, such as the use of American Sign Language (ASL). While some issues and stressors may be universal, the counselling process is as individual as the client.

My role as a psychologist is to serve as both a resource and ally to my clients. I work hard to ensure my clients feel heard and understood as they identify and move toward their goals. I respect clients' dignity, autonomy, and right to make decisions that affect their lives. I am also committed to being accountable as a clinician and providing ethical treatment that is informed by science. I regularly check in regarding the helpfulness of treatment and if service needs modifying, I will do my best to make it right.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as your therapist. I approach therapy with the belief that my clients' lives contain the necessary ingredients to change, grow and heal themselves and their relationships. My role as your counsellor is to create an environment where you will feel heard and accepted. From here, you will be in a good position to gain insight into yourself, your behavior and your relationships. Once we have this type of insight, we can get to work and create lasting change. I will be there to support you every step of the way.

Do you often feel weighted down by feelings of anxiety? Do you feel depressed, stressed out, or struggle with letting things go? If so, I invite you to meet with me so we can explore what is going on. Together we can: 1)Explore your needs and boundaries, 2)Find freedom from shame, self-blame, and worry, 3)Heal from past relationships and situations, and 4)Improve your relationships. As we take this journey together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties.

Do you need help making sense of your emotions and feelings? Are you looking for a therapist who can help you understand what is happening in your life right now? My therapy approach and style are simple and down-to-earth. You show up and we talk together in a secure, non-judgemental environment. I have been in the helping field for over 15 years and I have experience working with many different emotions, feelings, and behaviour. My goal is that you are heard, understood and overall feel validated about where you are.

I work with adults, children, teens and families. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is a partnership where both you and I bring strengths to the table to overcome challenges that are getting in the way of living the life you want to live. All people have the capacity to heal, and the problems that bring you to therapy do not have to define who you are. I will support you in becoming the person you want to be, whether that be by healing from past trauma or by dealing with current issues that may be getting in your way.
