While my approach is tailored to each client's needs, I predominantly use CBT with a neurobiological lens as my main approach in psychotherapy. I aim to help individuals identify the interconnection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and environment. Evidence-based therapies such as CBT have shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.

My approach to psychotherapy involves understanding my clients by using a client-centred lens, while also taking on a systems approach to understand the bigger picture. I am informed by Attachment Theory, as well as Emotion-Focused Therapy, and use this to help clients gain a deeper understanding of where they came from and how it is showing up in their current situation. I also employ a trauma-informed lens in which I ensure safety and comfortability in processing overwhelming experiences.

I come to the practice of counselling with a passion for wellness and transformative, life-long learning. I work in the public setting as a clinical counsellor in a local primary care network, support a local arts organization as executive director, and teach Clinical Counselling at the post-secondary level. I am particularly interested in post-modern and integral approaches to working with neurodiversity, couples, and the transition to full practitioner.

Psychotherapy can be effective and greatly beneficial for couples, individuals and families. We strive to create a safe and understanding environment where we work in a collaborative manor based on your goals and needs. We will work with a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs providing optimal results. Through psychotherapy you can begin to see yourself and your world through a non partial and neutral lens. Through the clarity and acceptance of your authentic self we will work to build your tools for ongoing personal growth and success, independent of counselling.

Throughout my life and educational career, I have learned the benefits of understanding how our brain and body develop and impact each other. The brain is like any other body part - when injured or not functioning properly, it requires proper attention and care to heal and strengthen it back to a higher functioning state. It is with this knowledge that we can begin to understand ourselves and our own reactions more. My goal is to help you find a path towards self-compassion and a clearer sense of self, while also working together to seek out alternative solutions to create a healthier mindset.

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.

As a therapist, I work with individual adults and with couples to heal emotional wounds, both within the individual and within the couple. I create a feeling of safety where you can recover from the past, and develop a strong, clear sense of yourself as a worthy individual, as well as creating a relationship in which you are able to maximize your potential, both as a human being, and as a couple. I have specialized training in both trauma, and couples therapy, both of which help me to help you.

When I think of the hundreds of women/men I have assisted in making changes and in healing, they have been creative, intelligent, capable people who usually did not know these things about themselves because their pain story kept them from seeing this. You might think this could not be you because you believe no one would describe you in this way, but pain has a way of blinding us to the truth of our good points. And you do have good points, many more than you believe right now. Therapy is a means to help you discover what they are. It can help you find your strengths, what is incredible about the way you have been made and give you a place to be heard, supported and guided as you heal.

It is my hope that through the process of exploring personal and relationship issues, clients will develop a greater self-awareness and understanding of their potential and capabilities. Clients will identify any limiting beliefs and thought patterns that may have blocked them from attaining goals in their personal relationships and/or professional lives. Clients will also address and work on any unhealed past experiences of emotional and/or physical trauma that may be negatively affecting their lives today. Clients will benefit from building effective communication skills to promote healthy relationships. It is my hope that clients will develop a loving acceptance of Self.

Psychotherapy is otherwise known as talk therapy. I use this interactive approach of talk therapy (psychotherapy) as a supportive framework and also a constructive way to help people deal with the problems in their lives. We set goals, which are talked about and discussed in therapy with the use of techniques, so that solutions are identified and people know what to do and how to navigate the difficult issues in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Family Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy are specific approaches in psychotherapy used to support and assist clients to meet their goals.

The potential benefits of engaging in psychotherapy with me include increasing your emotional intelligence, a renewed sense of connection, increased skills for coping, a larger sense of security and trust as it relates to others with whom you are in relationship, an increased self-trust, increased self-awareness, and a greater sense of resilience when faced with challenges and stress. I use my compassion, empathy, and genuineness to reach out as my goal is to interact on an authentic emotional level with you.

I strongly believe that psychotherapy is an art. This is the reason I integrate different approaches and modalities when working with clients based on their goals and their current situation. In other words, I use my years of training and my clinical experience to make sure what we do is helpful to you. I have done training in approaches that focus on thoughts and cognitions such as CBT, approaches that are more emotionally focused such as AEDP and approaches that are more body focused such as SP. This helps us to give equal attention to all parts of your experience such as your feelings, your thoughts and your body. You will feel more integrated and whole as a result.

Psychotherapy can be beneficial for everyone. Whether you would like to further self-exploration, break old patterns keeping you from reaching your full potential, work through past trauma, gain more clarity on a specific issue, or repair ruptures in your relationship, psychotherapy can help you reach your goals. Psychotherapy can provide a safe and supportive environment while giving you the tools and psychoeducation to create sustainable change.

Psychotherapy is an interactive process between a clinician and a client. By examining and challenging thoughts, feelings and behaviour, one can affect change, solve problems and reach maximum potential. As a clinician, I help to facilitate this process by implementing interventions such as Neurofeedback (NFB), EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). NFB retrains your brains ability to act rather than react. EMDR is a powerful tool that goes to the roots of barriers to functioning by affecting neural processes with eye movements. CBT allows you to actively engage in examining your thoughts and behaviours to effect change.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

I look forward to supporting and guiding my clients to discover their strengths. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families to help bring more healing, growth and change. Building on a framework of warmth, empathy and compassion, my goal is to create an atmosphere in which you feel safe to explore even the most difficult areas of your life.

As a Gestalt therapist, I help individuals to work toward their wholeness and to be able to meet their particular needs. I believe every individual is unique. Therefore, while Gestalt therapy is my main approach, I draw from other approaches based on individual needs and I help them toward their recovery with the most appropriate techniques. Some of the other approaches I am using include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Human Centered Approach, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family System, and OEI. Having experience with clients from diverse backgrounds, holding multicultural perspectives, and using techniques from various modalities, I am confident I can better help you in your healing.

Psychotherapy or counselling is helpful to address whatever issues you may be facing in your life in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. At West Coast Counselling, we use your goals as a framework from which to build therapy around. We may use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative or solution-focused therapy, to name a few, in which to help you manage your issues.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds. Many issues we face in life are deep rooted in our childhood or resulting from traumas we have survived and need to be addressed to be truly free and achieve peace and serenity. I will help you learn to live a vital, rich meaningful life and overcome any mental health issues.

Psychotherapy with me is client centered. This means that I look at you as someone who is the expert in your own life. My role is to come alongside you, to reflect some of what I hear you say, and offer insights that can point you back toward solutions that you inherently know to be true. Sometime we just need to process our thoughts and emotions verbally in a way that points us toward the next right thing.
