Find a Therapist in Kitscoty, Alberta.

Psychotherapy involves the development of a theraputic relationship between client and therapist that allows the client to have new experiences with being attuned to, cared for and respected. In the context of this healing relationship, the client may develop a healthy human attachment that can be the vehicle for growth, development and positive change.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

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.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!

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.
