Therapists for Teens in Nova Scotia

Throughout my 22-year career, I have worked with a diverse clientele in the private, post-secondary, and mental health sectors providing effective one-to-one, couple, and group counselling. I use a non-judgmental and empathetic approach and have gained extensive experience using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).

I believe in the importance of understanding, trust, connection & belonging in the therapeutic relationship as the place where change can begin. It is with these values, I will support you in exploring your concerns and support you in making the changes that are positive and long lasting in your life. I believe that we all have the courage, inherent capacity, and knowledge to live our best lives, sometimes we need help along the way.

We all know the importance of taking care of our physical health (although that can be challenging to do!) but it is equally, if not fundamentally important to take care of our mental health and wellbeing. Just like a nutritionist or trainer teaches new habits while holding you accountable to your fitness goals, a counsellor can support your goals for therapy and equip you with the proper resources, strategies and tools to help you face your life challenges with confidence and empowered purpose.

Hi, my name is Ali Peddle RCT-C (She/her) and I am glad you're here. I completed my undergraduate degree at St. Francis Xavier University in 2019 where I received a Bachelor of Arts Joint Major in Music & Psychology. May 2023 I completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP). I believe you are the expert of your own life and it's my job to provide you with a safe non-judgmental space to share openly while I offer the support and guidance you need to overcome life's challenges.

When you feel like you can’t be yourself, it hurts. Lots of things get in our way: abuse, systemic bigotry, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to find motivation. Sometimes we even know what we want to be different, but somehow can't make it happen. Whether you're working through this on your own or with a partner, sorting through the challenge to find where to start can be really difficult.

At times life can become complicated by stress and adversity which is difficult to navigate on our own. My counselling philosophy is grounded in the knowledge that everyone has strengths and resources that can help them thrive and all of us need genuine caring relationships to live our best lives. Unfortunately, the challenges in our lives can cause us to lose sight of our strengths and strain key relationships leaving us feeling lost, confused and overwhelmed. At these times, counselling can help to explore these thoughts and feelings, identify meaningful solutions and restore hope and overall resilience.

Hello! As a clinician, I try to use both a practical and client-centred approach to people's presenting issues. I always use a strengths-based approach, believing that each of us is resilient and capable of managing difficult times while instilling hope for better days ahead. Sometimes we just need a little extra insight or help along the way. I offer an empathic, non-judgemental space with reflective feedback and a secure space. Formally, I draw on a collection of frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

I have extensive experience working with couples dealing with martial and relational issues. My systemic style of working with families helps build a strong bond between family members while exploring some potential root causes of discord. I also have a keen interest in working with parents on the many facets of parenting. Ranging from behaviour modification to raising children of character, integrity and respect. I also enjoy my work with individuals, starting from as young as 15 onward. I treat adjustment and mood disorders as well as anxiety, self-esteem, personal growth, stress/burnout, grief, and those dealing with separation and divorce.

Life can be overwhelming, especially when we experience relationship shifts. Divorce, separation, infidelity, parenting and communication challenges can leave us feeling stuck or lost. The constant demands from external pressures can make it challenging to maintain our emotional well-being.

My neurodiverse affirmative therapeutic practice is grounded in warmth, acceptance, and curiosity, creating a collaborative space for you to explore your feelings without judgment.

How many people are willing to understand the true feelings in a person's heart? I believe it is easy to define psychological illness, but it is very hard to find out a person's true feelings. This is the biggest challenge for one’s career. With that in mind, I work to understand all feelings and help all my clients learn to work through their difficulties to gradually become internally independent until they no longer need me.

My goal is to provide people with a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I want to encourage people to have autonomy over their lives and the decisions they make. I feel that my personality allows me to easily and quickly, form strong therapeutic relationships. I am energetic, creative and flexible, making it easy to work with younger children as well as adults.
