I am a Registered Psychologist and owner of Cornerstone Psychological Services, now in Tantallon. I offer therapy for children (12+), teens, adults, couples, and families. I work collaboratively with my clients to address a wide range of issues from depression and anxiety to existential concerns.

I am an art therapist who works with children, teens and adults. I continuously marvel at the wisdom of the body and bring an embodiment/mindfulness focus into my practice. My practice is queer affirming, trauma informed, abolitionist, and integrative. Together we can integrate stressful life experiences and challenging emotions, cultivate self-compassion and inner-knowing, and foster connection and belonging. I am available for online as well as in-person in my studio in the Annapolis Valley. Online art therapy can be a great fit for people who live farther away.

Hello, I’m Grace with Diamond Psychology, serving Alberta, the Yukon, and Nova Scotia. Have you ever wondered if you have Autism, ADHD or a learning disorder? Are you looking for a deeper understanding of the struggles that you go through in your day-to-day life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can provide you with a detailed assessment to help you figure out what you are struggling with, and work with you to create a therapeutic plan to improve your mental health. I help neurodiverse/neurodivergent individuals like you to discover your identity and unique capabilities through both assessment and therapy.

One of the consequences of stress is re-experiencing it in the mind and body, leaving us depleted and disconnected from life. Intense reactions can be confusing and distressing. Making sense of our experiences, putting them in perspective, and changing unhelpful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping increases our resilience. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and have a particular interest in survivors of sexual violence and exploitation; first responders, frontline workers, military, veterans and their families; survivors of adverse childhood experiences; workplace stress and life transitions; and older adults.

My goal is to work with clients to find hope and meaning in the challenges and the chaos that life presents us. I believe life is a journey to be travelled, not a destination to be reached. As such, life offers us lessons and learnings to be unravelled and transformed. At times we need another to help us make sense of what has been unfolding on the journey.

I offer counselling through EMDR, CBT & traditional talk therapies; as well as play therapy and Theraplay-informed practices with children (aged 2+), youth, adults, siblings, parent-child dyads (from babies to adolescents), & families. I provide Trauma-Focused CBT to children (5-16 years old), with parents/caregivers involvement in the process. I have a passion for play and expressive arts, including sandtray.

You aim to live in a way that doesn’t let anyone else down but are noticing that in doing so, you are letting yourself down and your own needs are not being met. You feel conflicted and anxious because “don’t good people always show up for others? Then, why do I feel hollow, lost, and unfulfilled?” You are noticing that something is off-balance in your life, and you are curious about what is it that YOU like, want, need, and desire. You wonder, “could it be possible to live a life that aligns with my true self?”

​ My goal is to provide therapeutic services that recognize life can be overwhelming, and offer an approach that puts you in the driver's seat while utilizing best practices. 

I believe that everyone has inner wisdom which can lead them towards healing. Can I help you learn to trust yourself enough to make space for your pain, shame, grief, sadness, joy, and love to be felt and explored? By being curious about your resistance to feeling, we can process and digest it. I am trained as a somatic, relational, and trauma therapist, and I can help you understand the unique ways you learned to resist or avoid parts of yourself as a way of protection. I believe that human connection is an essential part of the healing process and I prioritize my role as a human first and as a therapist second.

With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

Accepting new clients! If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I can help you understand this and make changes to improve your life. Our sessions will be supportive, affirming, and non-judgmental. I look forward to hearing about things that are going well in your life and areas that you want to improve. Together, we will identify solutions to the problems that you’re facing and make a plan to work through them. Currently accepting clients for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a therapy used to address psychological trauma and distressing memories.

My goal as a clinician is to create an anti-oppressive environment that promotes safety, acceptance & empowers those I work beside. I value a holistic approach to care that validates the uniqueness of every individual while also adhering to evidenced informed standards of clinical practice. It continues to be my greatest privilege to be invited into people’s lives during some of their most challenging moments & being trusted to join them when bravely looking inward to create meaningful change in their lives. I am confident with the creativity & professionalism I bring to my practice & look forward to partnering with you soon!

Everyone struggles with certain things at different times in their lives. Mental wellness is a journey, not a destination and we are all at different points along the path. Sometimes, we need help guiding our steps and knowing how best to keep going. My ideal client may be struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma or personality disorders. Generally, they realize that things in their life are just not working and they want to learn new ways of behaving, thinking and relating to themselves and others to make lasting changes. My practice with clients is collaborative and supportive.

Are u looking for safe, accessible, neurodiverse affirming support? Whether that may be in helping you process a late in life Autism diagnosis, navigating unmasking or if you are a parent struggling with the challenges that come with raising neurodivergent children.

I am a therapist with over 30 years experience in the field of Addictions. I work with people struggling with alcohol, drug and gambling problems and offer tobacco cessation services. I also work with family members in their recovery process. As an experienced therapist, I assist clients in addressing these issues by utilizing a "Biological, Psychological, Social, Spiritual" Model of recovery. As a client, you can expect to develop personal insight into the problems substance use is creating, while making positive change in your life. This is accomplished in a safe, caring and collaborative environment.

I’ve been working in my field for 14 years, and have been offering therapy services to school-age children and youth since 2018. I’m bilingual in French and English and my office is conveniently located on Prospect street, with a lot of free parking. Most of my experience has been working on various mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, adjustment disorders, grief and loss, emotional distress, and self-harming. I also enjoy working with families on communication, parenting, sleep hygiene, and challenges related to transitions such as separation, divorce, blended families, and military relocations.
