Psychological Counselling
In my opinion, there is no one-size-fits-all all approach to therapy as each client brings a unique blend of life experiences, genetics, and preferences. When taken all together, these factors will heavily inform what therapeutic tools and techniques will best help you achieve your goals. To assist you in this process, I utilize a variety of trauma-informed therapeutic frameworks to inform the counselling process based on the individual needs of my client. These frameworks include:
- Person-centered psychotherapy
- Feminist psychotherapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
- Equine Assisted EMDR (EA-EMDR)
- Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Ego State Therapy
- Polyvagal Theory (PVT)
- Somatic Based Techniques
- Neurofeedback
I am EMDRIA trained in EMDR and have achieved certification status.
Certification is a status awarded to clinicians who after their initial
training, choose to further hone their skills with dedication toward
clinical excellence and ongoing growth in the field. To achieve this
status, clinicians must complete an additional 50+ EMDR sessions
with 25+ clients, an additional 20+ clinical hours of certification, and
12+ EMDRIA CE credits. EMDRIA must review and approve all
certification applications.
Sessions are generally 50-60 minutes in length and are offered at the suggested billing rate put forth by the Saskatchewan Association of Psychologists at $200/session. Sessions can be either in person or through the telehealth platform I use – OWL. The frequency of sessions is something that can be discussed within our first session together based on your needs. Many clients begin attending weekly, however, that does not always work for everyone. Counselling services may be covered through your health/benefit plans however I do not offer direct billing (with the exception of FNIHB, MNS, or clients approved through Victims Services). For clients who self- pay, I will provide you with a receipt which can be submitted to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
