Emotionally Focused Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

Hello! I am a Clinical Associate at Prairie Psychology, working under the supervision of Dr. Darek Dawda (Ph.D., C.Psych.). I am a PhD student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Manitoba. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and interpersonal challenges.

As a mental health therapist, when I envision my ideal client, I see someone who is not defined by their issues but by their inherent strengths and resilience. They may come to therapy having experienced trauma, which manifests in various ways such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Their needs are multifaceted – they seek understanding, validation, and strategies to cope with and heal from their experiences. Their goals are deeply personal and unique; they might aim to rebuild trust in themselves and others, to find joy and meaning in life again, or to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

I have a deep respect for those who seek therapy. Life can be challenging and we are all doing the best we can with the circumstances and resources available to us. My approach is non-judgmental, warm, and curious as I work towards creating a safe space where you feel understood, supported, challenged and empowered to manage better and thrive more. I strive to be straightforward and genuine and to create a truly meaningful relationship with each of my clients.

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.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, job or Covid-19 related stress, relationship stress, parent-teen relationship, intimate partner violence, emotional dysregulation, anger, or impulsivity? Have you lost someone dear to you and you are struggling with guilt or meaning of life? Is yours a struggle with your academic achievement or pain of the past? You have found your long-awaited help! As an experienced counselor of over 23years, I have helped my clients, focusing on their strengths, to understand the underlying factors of their problems towards achieving their goals as students, individuals, couples and families.

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.

My name is Laura Lockwood. I am a clinical social worker and therapist for teenage girls and women. I am passionate about supporting women in coming to a place of self-love and seeing their worth so they can reach their dreams. As women in our current society, we are often disconnected from our internal tools and resources that naturally exist in our mind and body. Our lives are fast-paced and stressful and we often struggle with mental and physical disconnection. This opportunity will give you a chance to take time to sit with yourself in a space that is supportive so that you can learn to access and develop your inner resources.

I have been helping people for over 40 years using a multifaceted approach. I work from the position of deep respect for all individuals. Presently, I use biofeedback in my practice. This allows me to assist clients with their physical, mental, and spiritual issues. I also use tools such as neuro-linguistic programming and Hypnosis. When a client’s suffering has manifested physically in her/his/their body, I often use pain-free electro acupuncture and laser therapy, taking into account the client's comfort level. It is the intention that clients will leave with a skill level that will help them create a quality life.

I specialize in people with Autism and ADHD but can help individuals, couples and families who are wanting to learn to trust themselves more. I take special interest in managing conflict as I feel it is likely where the most growth is to occur. That being said, I recognize that it can be a very uncomfortable experience. Relationships are a high risk, high reward situation. I want to help facilitate these conversations as much as possible.

Each challenging moment provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect and to integrate what life hands us. Sometimes this is messy, often it is hardship, but my hope is to walk alongside my clients and to see them through to what is next, hopefully with a renewed sense of strength, self-acceptance and awareness. I've worked for the provincial Eating Disorder Program, Family/Parenting Centre and in Community based Women's Health services. These experiences have provided me with a deep respect and admiration for my clients' strength and resilience.

Life is complex, and so are people. Our role is to understand the depth of your experiences and discover the meaning of the presenting problem in the context of all the stories around you. You need to be heard and accepted at the deepest levels so that together we are able to find ways to address what matters most to you. This will help you move through to the other side so that your mental health and sense of purpose can flourish. We want to help you make the best of your life.

Sanwos Health Centre (SHC) is built on three core beliefs: (1) every individual has an inherent drive to fulfill their full potential, (2) we all face obstacles and challenges along the way that get us stuck, and (3) with the right guidance, support, and nurturing, we can overcome any hurdle, achieve breakthroughs in our lives, and advance towards our purpose.

Do you often feel like nobody really gets you? Like when you share about yourself, people don't ask followup questions but instead they simply shift the focus back to themselves? It's hard to heal, grow, and work towards positive change when you feel unheard, unseen, and unknown. I know from many years of experience that when clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, they feel safe, empowered, energized, and motivated to do the hard work of changing, growing, and healing.

Occupational Therapy is about learning ways to cope with and overcome challenges in your life. It is also about finding balance and working towards adding wholesomeness and joy to your everyday activities. Using cognitive behavioural therapies, I work to empower you to start taking the steps in your journey towards health, wellness, and a more fulfilling life. Trained in whole person rehabilitation techniques, I will assist you to over-come life problems that affect body and mind. If you are looking for a listener, coach, and teacher who is gentle, understanding, and insightful...then I am the therapist for you!

We are all worthy of living life as our best selves, in spite of difficulties. I work with individuals, couples and families respectfully and collaboratively. I facilitate a safe space to do the work in the most effective and thorough way, creating movement and change that clients are looking for.

Many people face struggles in their daily lives and don't understand why. With ADHD/ADD, one of the big struggles is understanding yourself and how you're wired, and learning how to create balance, while decreasing symptoms, and increasing function in the different aspects of life. Some people struggle with school, at work, with family and friends, with focus, and also with the additional symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that often accompanies ADHD/ADD. We offer low cost ADHD/ADD assessment that can assist in the process of diagnosing ADHD/ADD. We also offer counselling/therapy to assist in building function and capacity.

Now accepting new clients for Steinbach and area. For those who feel stuck, lonely, afraid, sad, frustrated, or hurt and who wish to seek wellness, counselling can be beneficial.
