My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner.

Living Well's approach to psychotherapy is research-based and holistic. Because we attend to the current needs of clients, in addition to their long term goals, therapy tends to have greater long lasting results. Symptom management is important, and can be accomplished with CBT based interventions, but lasting results from therapy are also key. Far too many people seek therapy only to have it 'not work' or work just temporarily. For a holistic, strength based, research informed approach, Living Well is the ideal place to seek help.
