Depression Therapists in Dartmouth, NS

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.

I am a clinical social worker in Dartmouth NS with over ten years experience providing specialized treatment for individuals and family members affected by addictive behaviours such as substance abuse and gambling. My areas of interest include trauma, spirituality, grief and anxiety management.

When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

By creating a supportive and relaxed environment through the therapeutic dynamic I supoort mt clients in their therapeutic process and collaborate with folks who are polyamorous, kink-centered, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2S+ and within the disability community. I have a strength-based approach and encourage my clients to gently unravel parts of themselves through somatic interventions, talk therapy and psychotherapy while supporting clients to understand themselves more deeply. With a creative background I feel best suited with folks who are open to a playful and mindful approach to their healing journey.

Trauma can affect our relationships and our sense of who we are, but we do not need to stay stuck in distress. Working to find a sense of meaning, reconnecting with the truth of our present moment, and untangling unhelpful narratives can help us reconnect with our authentic selves, making space for greater healing.

My heart goes out to everyone as we recover from the pandemic. Grief, loss, and change can make it difficult to adjust and move forward. I am passionate about helping others heal so that they can live their best lives. I am a good listener who is empathetic, compassionate and understanding without judgement. Reach out today, consider me as someone willing to be a part of your individual care and wellness.

Are you currently navigating a change in your life that has impacted your day-to-day or ability to show up as your usual self? Do you feel overwhelmed with this change, even if it was something you were expecting or planning for? Perhaps you haven't been able to stop thinking about how things could have worked out differently and this has lead to high anxiety and low self worth. I help adults navigate anxiety, life changes, and grief by first understanding where you are at and working with you to find a path forward that aligns with your values and emphasizes overall wellbeing.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but truth is, on the inside you're a mess. You used to pride yourself on being able to balance a successful career, kids and a healthy relationship. But now, you feel burnt out and anxious; your worries are always rolling around in your mind. Lately, you've been more irritable and frustrated toward your kids and spouse, which makes you feel terrible. Worse yet, you've completely forgotten about yourself. It feels like you are drowning under the weight of your problems and you are desperate to get free. You never imagined yourself seeing a therapist, but you know you need help.

I draw on the commonalities that exist between therapeutic approaches, and am aligned with anti-oppression perspectives. I utilize deep, introspective practices and pragmatic, solution-oriented practices to help clients cultivate greater self-compassion; achieve greater effectiveness in their relationships and communities; and grow towards deeper fulfillment in their lives. I am also able to offer a truly holistic therapy, combining talk therapy, mindfulness, and movement. I am a good fit for those impacted by marginalization, those with shame and self-esteem challenges, those impacted by trauma and addiction, and for couples.

I am a registered clinical psychologist who works with adults struggling with issues such as trauma, disordered eating, emotional dysregulation, and religious conflict. I work with individuals and couples. I am committed to creating a safe space for clients of different gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, and people with different types of romantic and/or sexual relationships. I take a collaborative, feminist, and empathetic approach, ensuring I am providing evidence-based treatment.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child who is usually wise beyond their years becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting through a pandemic make it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those moments.

Feeling stuck? Have you noticed a decline in your mood? Are negative thoughts (the "what ifs") becoming more difficult to ignore? Are you struggling with managing a difficult relationship and setting boundaries? Maybe you feel that being a new parent is not what you expected? Are you anticipating to, or going through a period of uncertainty or a life transition? Life is too short to surrender to overwhelming thoughts and feelings. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I can appreciate the need for time and a safe space to process, problem solve and learn strategies and skills to help you become your best self.

I am ready to help you! No matter what you are going through, I know that if we can talk about it, we can work it out! I am ready to help you get the tools you need to get back on your feet. I want to get to know you as a person, not just your symptoms, and to help you get back to the things that bring you joy. I am proudly inclusive, queer-friendly, and sex-positive.

Do you feel alone, disconnected from self and others? Do you have a hard time noticing your needs and are plagued with anxious thoughts? Do you wonder if life could be more meaningful and fulfilling?

We help you make sense of your experiences and help you process the pain that life throws at you.
