In Person Therapists in Baddeck, NS

If you find yourself struggling with aspects of your life and feeling overwhelmed with how to cope, I believe that therapy could be a beneficial experience for you. Many people experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or struggle with things like relationships or coping with stress and trauma, and aren't sure where to start. I provide therapy to adults (19+) who are looking to make changes and learn new skills to start a more positive and healthy life.

I am passionate about supporting individuals to live their lives as fully as possible. We often focus our energy on our 'to do' lists and our responsibilities to others - putting our own needs on the back burner. Counselling allows individuals to identify their challenges and strengths, and replenish their energy, enjoyment and well-being. Individual contexts and issues will be varied - in fact, that is part of what I love about this work.

Life is often difficult and trying to navigate challenges alone can seem impossible. I offer a supportive and safe space to explore both personal and professional issues. My approach is compassionate and person-centred and I draw on 25 years experience in the counselling field where I have practiced as a counsellor and also taught in a master’s level counselling program at the university level. We will work together to create a new understanding of your life circumstances as we strive to achieve your counselling goals.

Beth services a diverse population with clientele to work on: Mental Health issues (anxiety, depression, ADD, OCD, BPD, Post partum etc.), separation divorce issues, co-parenting, healthy boundary setting, stress management, anger management, conflict resolution, gender affirmation, safety planning, strengths & protective factor building, communication skills, life skills, and more.

The hardest step is to seek help when family and friends believe you can work things out on your own. Once clients have made that first step by coming in, I can help them work through issues that hold them back from living a full life. My focus is on compassion and empathy while finding a way through the turmoil.

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.

Life is not always easy. Often we carry symptoms from our past that cause us to struggle on our journey. Talk therapy can help alleviate those difficulties so that you do not have to suffer in silence.

I specialize in helping younger clients ages 8 to 35. I also have a history of working with seniors and have always connected well with this population. I have served many adult clients during my practicum also. Because I am a young person myself, I come into sessions with an informed understanding of today's climate for young people and my own lived experience. There are unique pressures that many young people find themselves navigating. Whether it is grade school, university, relationships, body image, self-esteem. anxiety, depression or concerns over financial stability and housing. I understand and am here to help.

Hello! I'm Miranda, and I'm excited that you've taken the courageous step towards seeking the support you deserve. My passion is to support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in need. I aim to create a safe, nurturing space for healing and goal achievement. I employ a trauma-informed approach, place a high priority on cultural sensitivity, and embrace a biopsychosocial systems perspective to empower clients on their healing journey. I tailor treatment plans to align with each individual's unique experiences and specific needs.

I assist clients who are struggling with grief, addictions, trauma and PTSD to learn how to heal, cope and live their best life based on their own personal values and belief systems. I have an affinity for working with Veterans, First Responders and First Nations People.

I aim to help clients by encouraging an exploration of their current state. My approach is non-pathologizing and as such I do not classify clients based on their symptoms, but rather seek to understand each individual's life experiences that led to their present situation. I work with clients to explore how and why their behaviours originated. We then create strategies to achieve goals by building on strengths and adapting patterns that are no longer useful. I view the healing process as learning and unlearning, which unfolds in the presence of a safe therapeutic space.

I'm a registered therapist who offers a compassionate and friendly-style to address mental health challenges. When in session, I aim to create an environment that embraces both deep conversations and moments of shared laughter. My focus is on supporting adults and university students to find pockets of peace in life's chaos, mend strained relationships (be it family, friendship or romantic), heal from past wounds, and find ways to ease the weight of anxiety and depression.

I work primarily with children, youth, families and young adults (college, university aged). I have diverse experience working with children, parents and young adults in university/college who are dealing with anxiety, depression, school, family or life stressors. I have a particular interest in working with children to young adults who are managing living with concussions or illness (themselves or in within their family). My approach is to work with my clients to come up with goals based on a combination of their concerns and my clinical assessment to help find a therapeutic plan that will be most helpful for my clients.

Sometimes just talking things out in a private setting with a caring and qualified listener can help. I hope you find the courage to take the first step. You have nothing to lose but worries and possibly past trauma.
