Psychotherapy is delving deeper into who you are--understanding yourself in the context of your history, culture, and what it means to be human. Sometimes we want a quick fix for a problem--such as relaxation techniques or ways to set boundaries--and sometimes we want to look deeper at our patterns. In my work I incorporate existential psychotherapy (for those who are interested), which looks at the big questions in life and how they show up for us--such as meaning, purpose, responsibility, isolation, fear of death and will to live, and how we deal with these.

Clients benefit from increased self-awareness, improved emotional well-being, and practical tools to navigate challenges, fostering personal growth and a greater sense of fulfillment in life.

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 am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is researched to be the best therapy for dealing with trauma when it is combined with cognitive therapy. There are big T traumas like accidents, rapes, etc. and small t traumas from childhood abuse (physical and emotional abuse). You will learn how your early childhood traumas are affecting your ability to have healthy current relationships.

I will help you explore your dynamics, and how your interaction with the world creates your experience. Understanding is the first step in affecting, and as such, we will also create concrete strategies to address the changes you would like to see in yourself, your feelings, and your behaviours. I believe in a phenomenolgical approach to psychotherapy, and I respect the unique backgrounds and perspectives that every client brings to their exploration of self.

Annette is a psychotherapist with 25 yrs. experience assessing and counselling adults, youth and families. Annette will work with you to co-create realistic, practical and meaningful change you want to see. She will also provide a safe, warm and caring environment to explore and resolve your concerns. Some of the ways that counselling can be helpful...when someone sees you more clearly and reflects what they see, then you grow to see yourself more clearly. When someone helps you identify ways you keep yourself unintentially stuck, you are more free to change your patterns. Finally, when someone supports you with care and skill, you find the courage to take new steps.

I also offer Gottman based couples therapy. I tailor my methods to the unique needs of each client. My treatment methods work to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your behavioral patterns, and relationships, so you can make better and more informed decisions about your life.

Psychotherapy helps clients understand their thoughts and associated feelings. Understanding and identifying issues in our thought processes can reveal what is making us feel anxious, depressed, or a variety of other unwanted feelings. Talking helps clients cope with stressful situations in a safe and manageable way. Anyone who is overwhelmed by their problems and unable to cope can benefit from psychotherapy. Counsellors will help clients learn to identify distressing emotions, express feelings appropriately, and modify their approach to those around them. Overall, the improved levels of confidence provides the means to navigate life challenges in a healthier way.

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy where people come to discuss issues that impact their emotional well-being. This may involve exploring current and past relationships or early life experiences, looking for patterns of thoughts and behaviours, and generally working together towards self-awareness and well-being. From my perspective, you are the expert of your own life and my job is to provide support and guidance through your journey.

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.

Clients will benefit from psychotherapy from me by gaining skills and knowledge that will help them understand that how they feel and behave is a result of the negative thoughts they have. These thoughts are often automatic and repetitive and clients are usually not aware of them, they just know that they are not happy and not functioning at their best. I provide cognitive behavioural therapy which teaches clients how to become aware of their thoughts when they feel distressed or upset and shows them how to replace those distorted thoughts with more reasonable ones that lower their anxiety. In a relatively short time period this form of therapy can lead to a more happy, fulfilled life.

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.

I am truly an integrative counsellor. What this means is that I am more concerned with what you personally need as an individual, couple, or family, than I am about following a particular counselling theory. I will utilize whatever I believe will benefit you the most from each of them. I will come alongside you, and work together with you to help you gain insight into why you are struggling, address your key concerns, and incorporate the changes and skills you need so you can truly "heal from the inside out". This will effect positive change in your life and relationships, and help you grow in awareness, compassion, understanding, respect, empathy and acceptance toward yourself and others.

Individual emotional, behaviours and social issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate distress. Support in addressing individual problems can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when individual problems are present as it impacts the very mechanisms we use to cope.

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.

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.
