I have July/August availability! Life is hard; while you’re capable of getting through it, it doesn’t have to be this hard. You’re surviving going to work, school, picking up the kids, turning in homework, and doing everything you need but maybe you’re feeling like you can’t catch your breath. If something big has happened or is happening this can snowball into making everyday life even more difficult. People tell you to practice self-care, but what does that even look like?

Whether we are aware or not, we often already enlist those around us to be our "therapist," to HEAR our problems. The problem with this is that your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers or even your hairstylist are not equipped for this role. Why? Because they may not be able to listen without bias, carry opinions, or maintain your confidentiality. At Prince Family Counselling, you will receive complete, unbiased, non-judgmental, and empathic listening. A therapist who utilizes insight, and who will take time to understand. Going to a therapist doesn't have to constitute that something is wrong, see it as an investment in you!

Many people find themselves struggling with hopelessness, anxiety, or managing everyday life experiences within their intimate relationships, parenting, or various stages of life. When we are struggling to stay afloat, it can be difficult to do even the smallest of tasks. We are not promised a life free of difficulties, but we also do not have to struggle through the journey alone. I believe in facilitating a collaborative dynamic in therapy to empower you, as clients, to find healing and solutions to issues.

The three primary goals I help my clients work towards in therapy are healing, recovery, and change. My areas of concentration include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, divorce recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and work/career-related stress. Because your unique needs bring you to therapy, we will develop goals to meet such needs and evaluate our progress as we work towards set goals. My approach to treatment is conventional (evidence-based techniques), and faith-based Christian counseling. None of us is immune to life's stressors, but effective therapy can help us remain at peace as we handle those.

Sometimes we don't like how we think or feel and that may initiate ideas about seeing a therapist. Beginning therapy for the first time or continuing your healing journey means you desire to live better, and that is courageous to choose to do. I want to give you the best experience with therapy. I believe in the beginning it is most important that the space be safe, comfortable, and inspiring for growth. My goal is to allow you to ask any questions and raise any concerns you may have so we can create an atmosphere where you can freely express yourself.

Is the food noise or negative thoughts too loud? Are you feeling like you can't escape them? Are the judgements about what you are eating or what you look like coming up for you? Or maybe you have made a lifestyle change and are struggling with the negative thoughts that come when you are less than perfect with your intentions. All this and living life can feel daunting. Negativity can be a vicious cycle that takes its toll on you. It might not feel like it, but you can lessen the pain, quit the negative thoughts, and find yourself again. Little by little you find your own way to live life without them and find your worth.

It isn’t random issues that create problems as much as patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Hopeless depression, alarming anxiety, mental disorder or substance abuse cloud the present and the future. When our mental health is in disrepair and collapse feels imminent, setting a new course seems impossible. The pleasures and certainty of life seem lost. Like restoring old furniture, it takes a commitment to revision friendships and family, or perhaps a job, until deterioration is replaced with a narrative of renewal. We can take time to restore healthy, confident hopes and positive plans to achieve an exceptional life.

**** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**** Are you or a loved one suffering or just surviving and not thriving in life? Many people believe that this is just how life is. That is a cognitive distortion. Learning how to cope with trauma, loss, and everyday stressors can be accomplished. Showing my clients the link between thoughts, emotions and actions is one way that we process and explore the beginning of a new way of life. Working together to explore your past to understand how that has lead you to your present so we can change your future is my goal.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
