Teens are naturally wired to look for and try new things. Sometimes trying new things and searching for independence can be a step towards helping teens find purpose in their life. I have been working with adolescents, teens, adults, and families for over 20 years. I began my career working in schools with many neurodiverse students, supporting them and helping their families advocate for the services they needed and overcoming the barriers that often stand in their way. From here I moved to the role of a guidance counsellor where I found my passion helping many preteens and teens overcome obstacles in their lives.

Hello there! Thanks for clicking on my page. My name is Valene Rud and I've been in the field for over a decade. I pride myself on my gained experience, wisdom from other teachers and walking the journey along my clients. I possess the unique ability to connect with a large array of individuals from All walks of Life. I specialize in patterns of unhealthy relationships, trauma and self-esteem. I'm able to hone in quite quickly and make sense of repeating situations. This serves to decrease anxiety and confusion thereby increasing feelings of ease as we navigate our day to day.

Life's difficulties call to us to craft a story for ourselves and not just any story will do. One-size-fits-all therapy runs the risk of oversimplifying problems, ignoring injustice and social context, and putting us in boxes. I bring 20 years experience to working with youth and adults in a way that values kindness, open co-created conversation, humility, storytelling, growing the strength of our own voices, and what it looks like to 'do justice' to ourselves and others. I am highly skilled at listening to the parts of the story that matter the most and I will work closely with your goals and interests.

In the realm of mental and spiritual well-being, each individual's journey is uniquely nuanced, often requiring a compassionate guide who is not only well-versed in the complexities of the human mind but also specializes in navigating its intricate challenges.

Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has fears, beliefs and rules for how they "should" be. Comprehending these narratives allows for compassionate curiosity around the origins and purposes of these stories that fuel our behaviours. Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

Cocoon Mental Health Clinic is a new concept born from my genuine desire to help individuals twelve and up struggling with mental health issues.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us. If you are feeling stuck in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviours due to issues such as family conflict, relationship issues, trauma, mental health issues, loss, or addictions, therapy can help you to grow and connect with yourself and those close to you again. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner or family, my approach focuses on helping you to find more presence, compassion, and clarity in your life and relationships.

I would love to work alongside a client who has experienced or is experiencing some struggles and now feels ready to create something different for themselves. Whether that be through acceptance, change, or simply creating a deeper understanding, a client who is open to exploring what their personal healing journey means to them would be a great fit for the therapeutic approaches I find most enjoyable and effective.

The goals of play therapy are the same as traditional mediums of psychotherapy - to help clients resolve and heal from past stressful or traumatic experiences, express emotions related to challenging experiences, and support the learning of new ways of thinking and behaving. The medium is the only difference - clients use toys, games, dramatic and expressive arts to meet these goals, with play as the language of expression.

Being stuck can be an uncomfortable feeling. Life transitions can be difficult to surpass and sometimes, our big emotions can become out of hands. Therapy is about change and dealing with the discomforts. With you, I want to learn your definition of wellbeing and achieving your goals. It takes courage to start a healing journey and I believe in creating a collaborative, supportive and safe theraputic alliance with you. My hope is to assisst you in being your authentic self and overcoming obstacles with your inner strenghts.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, children and families with a variety of life situations and mental health issues. I have been practicing and completing my education in the area of mental health for 19 years. I work from a Client-Centered perspective as the foundation of my practice.
