Whether you are a child, pre-teen, adolescent or young adult, all stages of life have different challenges. Currently my work focuses on supporting children, adolescents and young adults who are experiencing emotional difficulties and other feelings of psychological distress that may lead to feeling isolated, stressed, sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. The overall goal is to help recognize and verbalize feelings, identify typical behavior patterns, defenses and inner conflicts in order to reduce symptoms, provide insight and improve daily functioning and quality of life.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed? That it’s hard to find balance in your life? Talk therapy can help, even if it feels daunting at first. As a Registered Clinical Psychologist, I have years of experience to help you develop skills and resiliency to cope with difficulties in life. I work with adults (age 19+) and older adults (age 65+) and provide treatment for a wide range of issues, including stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, caregiving stress, and sleep. In my practice, I strive to create a safe space that is free of judgment and build a collaborative, trusting relationship.

Are you feeling lost or overwhelmed or stuck? Have you experienced trauma or loss? Is anxiety impacting your daily life? Do you find yourself asking “Who am I?” or “What do I want my life to be?” I can offer you a calm and quiet space where I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on many different strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual. Art is a powerful tool that I use sometimes to help clients express and accept feelings; to explore a sense of self; and to reduce stress. Mindfulness, nature-based therapies, and a trauma-informed approach are also part of my practice.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes we need help to improve the quality of daily experiences & relationships. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction (sex, gambling & substances), anger, grief, complicated relationships, personality disorders and self-esteem all influence our lives. As a clinical supervisor for two addiction facilities, I have experience with complex mental health issues. I assist clients in identifying codependency traits, narcissists in their relationships and how emotional dis-regulation contributes to complications. Having overcome my own challenges aids in an authentic connection with my clients. Compassion and humour are tools I use while I assist clients in reclaiming identity

*Currently accepting new clients* Hi! My name is Maggie and I am a Clinical Social worker based out of Kentville, Nova Scotia. I work with adults who are looking to reconnect with themselves, create healthy habits and define what they want in life. I provide in person sessions in Kentville, and virtual therapy for individuals across Nova Scotia. If you are feeling overwhelmed and struggling to navigate your emotions and life circumstances, I would love to work with you!

Life can be difficult and overwhelming. Counselling provides an opportunity to explore your life, yourself, and your relationships in a supported, non-judgmental, and safe space. It recognizes your unique, personal story while helping you understand the shared human experience of life's challenges. You'll be supported in many ways including, fostering greater self awareness, understanding your emotions, easing stress and anxiety, incorporating healthy behaviours, cultivating new coping strategies / problem-solving / decision-making skills, finding your meaning & purpose, and improving your relationship with yourself & others.

Feeling overwhelmed? Difficulties managing your emotions? Stuck in depression, anxiety, grief, or chronic pain? Finding your relationship(s) a challenge? I have over two decades of experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing mental health issues, trauma/PTSD, difficulties with interpersonal relationships, chronic pain, grief, life transitions, and sexuality. I don't condone toxic positivity, but I do believe in radical acceptance. That doesn't translate into complacency, but acceptance that there are limits to our ability to control our surroundings.

ADHD. Anxiety. Work and life stress. Relationships, Insomnia. Grief and more. Are you overwhelmed with expectations, challenged by time, organization, procrastination, struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, attention, rejection sensitivity, low self esteem? Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep? Is anxiety or depression getting in the way of the things you want to do? Are you burned out, feeling undervalued and overworked at your job? Experiencing grief and loss? Struggling in a relationship? Or maybe you are living with the effects of trauma, not aware of trauma triggers, exhausted and suffering.

​ 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. 

Feeling disconnected? Perhaps you're struggling to exist in a society that doesn't feel like its accepting of you? I specialize in working with clients who often feel they diverge from societal norms. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, now that you are not alone! My experience may not be the same as yours, but through collaboration, we can work together to help find the best treatment methods for your unique situation.

I assist a wide range of clients navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship issues. My work with clients often involves the development of skills in emotional awareness and regulation, self-compassion and mindfulness, empathy and emotional validation, or intra- and inter-personal conflict resolution. I also support clients in their goals toward behaviour change, personal growth, and career exploration. As a therapist, I work from a perspective that recognizes the shared human needs within all of us, as well as the uniqueness of each individual's personal story.

I am a registered counseling therapist practicing in Kjipuktuk, Mi’kmaki (Halifax, Nova Scotia). My work taps into the transformative power of storytelling, the wisdom of the body, and the language of emotions to facilitate healing. It is my belief that with the right support, we are all capable of change, re-imagining our life stories, and navigating our hardest seasons.

Welcome! My name is Rebecca (she/her), and I'm a therapist working at Conscious Counselling & Wellness virtually in Nova Scotia. I offer services to individuals exploring a wide range of issues, with a particular focus on trauma (PTSD & CPTSD), neurodivergence, attachment wounds, self-esteem, and anxiety. I am passionate about assisting clients in fostering self-worth and self-compassion, and believe that everyone deserves to feel connected to themselves mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, and empowered to live an authentic life.

The focus of my work is supporting people to discover, befriend, and transform old ways of being. Through exploring personal narratives, habitual responses, and the subconscious terrain, we work together to create fresh space and open to new ways of being. Sessions with me involve talk therapy with somatic exercises, Brainspotting, parts work and hypnotherapy woven in as is supportive and appropriate. I am warm and grounded, and keep the session energy flowing through active inquiry and deep listening. Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key, and so I regularly check in to ensure that this is your experience.

I provide adults with support to make sense of their experiences through counselling therapy. I have 24+ years of experience working in the field of mental health. I began my training as a research psychologist focused on supporting the well-being of children and youth living in challenging contexts internationally. This work gave me strong insights into the importance of relationships and context for our own well-being; the impact of marginalization and oppression on how people are able to manage their own well-being; and the importance of understanding people as they live within their own culture and across diverse cultures.
