We provide an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on experiential therapeutic modalities through a neuroscience-informed, connection-focused lens. We honour the wisdom of the body in guiding the therapeutic process through an understanding of the brain-mind-body connection. We integrate bottom-up and top-down strategies to support each individual's unique nervous system and needs.

At Inner Tides Counselling, we use evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy. Our primary modality to psychotherapy is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, in which disturbing memories and experiences are reprocessed with bilateral stimulation (at your own comfortable pace). Inner Tides Counselling is also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), both of which are other forms of evidence-based psychotherapies. No matter which modality is the best fit for you, Inner Tides Counselling's approach is always trauma-informed, person-centered and strengths-based.

Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen. With established trust and rapport between us, we can develop a structureless structure for our treatment plan. That is, one flexible enough to give space to deal with thoughts and feelings spontaneously each week, and structured enough to accomplish your goals.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.

I believe that change happens when their is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. I work hard to ensure that my clients are relaxed, comfortable and safe so that they can feel free to share openly without judgement. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client sets the pace and we work together through various therapeutic techniques (Cognitive-Behavioral, EMDR, Art, books, Family Systems) so that the client can reach the goals they set for themselves in therapy

One of the most difficult decisions that many of us struggle with is reaching out for help. I will provide you with practical strategies in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

Molly's approach to counselling is highly collaborative, yet very reflective and insightful. Molly likes to imagine herself as a mirror, showing you a complete and comprehensive picture of your life as you describe it. Once you're able to envision an honest reflection of your circumstances, then you can take action that leads you where you truly want to go.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

My approach is rooted in creating a collaborative and empathetic space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, serving as a foundation for the transformative process of self-discovery and healing. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Humanistic approaches, I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. By fostering a non-judgmental environment, I aim to empower clients to openly express themselves and work towards understanding the underlying factors influencing their behaviours.

Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life. Utilizing a number of therapeutic models I hope to provide an empathetic and non-judgemental experience to explore "problems". Sessions are typically one hour and can be a safe and confidential space to share concerns, worries, fears, hopes, and needs. We will collaborate on goals for our work together. Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.
