Therapists Beginning With P in Nova Scotia

I love working with people who are ready and open to explore themselves. To go deeper, and face what's hidden; the good, the bad, the ugly. I love working with religious apostates (especially former Christians) and I specialize in working through religious trauma, since my personal experiences offer me personal understanding and insight. That said, I will not turn down anyone due to their belief; everyone is welcome. I am Kink/Poly/LGBTQ+ aware, and unequivocally open to working with any and all sexual minorities. I am also a certified Trauma and Grief therapist.

Do you have responses that seem out of alignment with a triggering event, or emotions coming from unknown places, lingering uncomfortably long? Are you or your loved one navigating addiction, recovery, or a mental health condition?

Perhaps you are having internal conflicts with your self, your identity, allyship and settler status, or life/work direction? Or maybe you just need a confidential, nonjudgmental, supportive space to express yourself?

What has spared us from pain in the past often keeps us stuck and anxious in the present.

I provide Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a comprehensive form of psychotherapy that helps patients experience their emotions and understand themselves across a broad range of clinical concerns.
