Relationship Issues Therapists in Halifax, NS

Feeling stuck in a cycle of negativity, insecurity, or hopelessness? Do you long to improve your relationship with yourself and others? Through therapy, old patterns give way as you gain more access and understanding of your emotions, and a stronger and wiser version of yourself becomes available. I hold space for your healing and growth and also for your unique values, beliefs, and lived experience. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples counseling, where we work to understand negative patterns that keep you in conflict, and begin to create new patterns of connection, safety, and trust.

Sometimes life feels like a lot. It could be a past experience that keeps running through your head, a transition that was more challenging than you expected or an ongoing issue in a personal or work relationship that is keeping you from fully living. The longer you push away, dismiss or ignore the painful feelings, the harder it becomes to live the life you imagined for yourself. The effects of trauma, anxiety and depression will take their toll on you and those around you. I work with people who are ready to take the first step towards healing.

Practicing from an ecological stance, I recognize that individuals exist within larger systems which can significantly impact their well-being. It's important for me to understand all aspects of a client's life beyond their presenting symptoms to form a well-rounded picture of the contributing factors in their mental health experiences. I primarily work with adolescent and adult clients for individual, couple and family therapy. I am specifically interested in working with romantic relationship conflict, trauma (acute and complex), transgender health, life transition stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances.

I provide therapy to adolescents (12+) and adults for a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, workplace stress and burnout, self-esteem, perfectionism, and relationship and family issues. With a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns of coping and communication, and assist them in finding lasting solutions. I work with individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, striving to understand each person within their surrounding sociocultural context. My theoretical background is integrative, drawing from emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, narrative, humanistic and mindfulness-based approaches.

I am a Registered Counselling Therapist working primarily with adults and couples.

While exploring life challenges and concerns, strengths and values, we collaborate to create meaningful goals and a pathway to growth, change and well-being.

Greetings! I am a collaborative practitioner who enters the therapeutic space from a place of compassion and curiosity. Relationships are vital to our survival as a species. Therefore, connecting to others through relationship hold transformative power and fulfills our most basic human needs. So how do we engage with each other in a positive and vitalizing manner? I work primarily with individuals and couples who are experiencing a range of emotional difficulties and concerns including relational conflict, lack of communication, sexual concerns, lack of intimacy, feeling of disconnection and isolation.

Hello! I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists (NSCCT) currently offering virtual services for individuals 16 and older living in Nova Scotia. I strive to create a safe relational space in session, from which you can explore and process the emotions, stories, and experiences impacting your life. A space in which I can offer you, and you can offer yourself compassion, curiosity, and understanding. I always want you to feel in control of the work we do together, as I see this work as deeply collaborative and understand that you are the expert in your own life.

I have a special interest and training in working with couples and individuals experiencing sexual concerns. Specifically, I work with concerns around pain during intercourse (i.e. vaginismus, vulvodynia, and provoked vestibulodynia), desire discrepancies in couples, difficulty achieving orgasm, or achieving/maintaining an erection, premature ejaculation, etc. Additionally, I work individually with adults experiencing relationship distress, communication difficulties, developmental trauma, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.

I have worked extensively with a range of mental health issues (eg: anxiety, depression), substance abuse, recovery from trauma and grief/loss. I have worked extensively with children and teens as well. I have worked with many couples in relationship counselling, improving communication and healthy dynamics. I have a keen interest in and experience working with people in ethically non-monogamous relationships (polyamory). I am an Art Therapist as well and love to help people find a creative and visual language to express thoughts, feelings, gain self-insight and heal. I bring an interest and knowledge of the brain into sessions.

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'm Carly, and I specialize in helping teens and adults who want to feel confident in themselves and at ease in their relationships. Your challenges may stem from trauma, chronic anxiety, relationship issues, numbing coping mechanisms, or a significant life change. Whatever the challenge may be, we will address these obstacles together and explore how they've been impacting your life. In therapy, you will have the opportunity to problem-solve, process and heal from past experiences, develop a robust sense of self, and reclaim a sense of purpose and meaning that is so easy to lose sight of amidst the chaos of life.

Hi, I'm Ali. I'm glad you're here - we were never meant to do this alone. I work with adults, teens (12+), and couples/relationships. Therapy with me is a conversation. I'm compassionate, curious, and I love when laughter sneaks into the room. My areas of focus include: trauma, career and life transitions, gender and sexuality, neurodivergence, and well-being for artists/creatives. I have experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, and loss. I also draw on 12+ years of experience working as a professional theatre artist across Canada.

Have you experienced feeling like you've lost control? It can be scary and frustrating to not have a handle on things. Maybe you're struggling to manage your OCD, disordered eating, or finding it hard to regulate your emotions. These challenges can impact your relationships and lead to feelings of guilt and shame. I offer a genuine, transparent approach to healing which allows me to support you in a way that is non-judgmental, validating, and personable. I am committed to supporting clients with OCD, emotional dysregulation, eating disorders and relationship issues using skills proven effective through evidence-based research.

I work with adults and couples to help improve their mental health and wellness, particularly those with emotional difficulties including feeling anxious or depressed, stressed about life events and transitions, and relationship difficulties. My work with couples and parents uses an attachment and emotion focused approach but I have been trained in several psychotherapeutic modalities including, EFT, EFFT, CBT, group therapy and motivational interviewing.

I am best able to help clients who are desirous of making changes in their lives and understand that "the slower you go, the faster you get there". My practice provides a safe space for patients to put all of their thoughts and feelings into words. As patients talk, they learn about themselves and better understand their journey. As the unconscious becomes conscious, patients are able to make more thoughtful and meaningful choices and thus begin to live more full and meaningful lives.

Accepting new clients who feel lost, misunderstood, and overwhelmed in today's world. You're not alone in feeling exhausted trying to keep up with demands from school, work (capitalism), family, relationships, gender norms, and societal expectations. In counselling, we will work together to gain insight about what's important to you and explore ways to more deeply connect with self and others. No matter what's happened in the past, you deserve a safe space to feel heard, supported, and understood. Just as you are.

Getting through this thing called life can be difficult for anyone. At times, it feels like there's nowhere for us to slow down and sort through the noise of the day. A moment to breathe, and just maybe, let our shoulders drop, as we find our way back into our body. Maybe you're in need of that kind of space. I am a white, cisgender, queer man, and clinical social worker. I work from a relational and anti-oppressive perspective that is influenced by my own life experiences and my years of working with clients.

Welcome, my name is Dawn and I have been working with individuals and groups in the fields of community-based development, education, health and wellness, and physical rehabilitation for over 20 years. Using narrative, trauma informed, and somatic approaches, I follow the philosophy that people are not their problems, behaviours, or past. If we can externalize and deconstruct the latter, by tapping into values and strengths, then there is potential to rewrite your narrative moving forward. I am dedicated in assisting you in relieving the stressors of holding onto stories that do not connect with your true self concept.

Are you in deep life transition, struggling with stress and anxiety and looking for a fresh approach to therapy that gets to the core of the issues? Whether its relationship challenges, trauma from our past, or knowing that there something that needs to shift but can’t find the reason, then I am here for you! I will help you access the vantage point to truly understand where the source of the struggles are and how a new freedom can be found on the other side. The only way out is through and it takes courage to face our past but it is always worth it in the end.

I have the privilege of helping clients with a wide range of issues including emotional issues and relationship challenges. These could include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, shame, self-esteem and relationship conflicts. My goal is to support and strengthen your relationship with yourself and your other relationships. I have experience working in the school setting and treating adult and adolescent mental health & addiction. I will support you with what you’re struggling with, what direction you want your life to take, and what steps to take to get there. I will help you gain a sense of control over yourself and your life.

The many twists and turns of life can be challenging to process and navigate. You may have experienced new or longstanding adversity that can make relationships challenging, cause overwhelming anxiety, or lead you to become withdrawn and depressed. I will collaborate with you to develop a warm, compassionate therapeutic relationship to help you explore how your body and mind respond to the complex emotions that emerge with such life adversity. For most of us, these patterns are automatic, but as you get to know yourself you can uncover new choices and options for meaningful, lasting change.
