Therapy is a more intensive relationship and evolves organically, in a variety of subject areas. This is also more psychodynamically oriented.
Therapy is offered at a minimum of 45-60 minutes per session.
Therapy may only be practiced under the scope of my license (which is within the bounds of Ontario, Canada).
Therapy may be covered and/or reimbursable by insurance companies.
Only a licensed professional (for example a Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist or Social Worker) may conduct therapy, and these individuals have a graduate level education with significant, subsequent training. Psychotherapists and Social Workers are also regulated by their respective Colleges and are required to complete a specified number of continuing education credits, to keep their licenses active.
I do! Because coaching does not fall within the guidelines of psychotherapy, I am available to conduct coaching sessions remotely, through FaceTime, Skype, and/or audio phone call.
Please see the "Fees" page for further information.
Coaching takes on many forms. In today’s world, you may often hear terms like “life coach,” which is a broad umbrella for more specific areas of coaching, including “health coaching,” or “spiritual coaching.” The goal of most coaching services is essentially the same, however, which is to improve mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
The type of coaching I offer is of a psycho-educational/spiritual flavor, and specific to the areas in which I am trained. The relationship developed is more like that of a mentorship. My coaching services include:
Creativity Coaching: Artists and other creative types sometimes need extra support from someone who understands the creative process and its pitfalls. Equally, anyone who has the inkling to explore their creative self benefits from a guiding hand and support.
Revising Patterns and Behaviours: Insight into the most recent research on attachment styles and relational patterns is bridged with an understanding of the intra and interpersonal connections (in body and mind) we experience in adult life that can open us to new experience, or prevent us from healing a sense of aloneness.
Empowerment and Self Esteem Building: Learn about how our systems can fall out of balance in a rapidly changing and confusing world, and explore grounding tools and a variety of creative ways to find your way back to the power and potential of your authentic core self.
