Ruth Hawkins
BA, Dipl. Psych. RP (Q)
Registered Psychotherapist (Q)
About
I work with diverse clients seeking compassionate support to cope with life's challenges (such as, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, stress or trauma), or those seeking to strengthen their psychological flexibility and mindful approaches to life's challenges.
My foundational training in psychodynamic psychotherapy is combined with other modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and somatically-informed trauma approaches to provide you with a unique experience that is focused on your goals and needs.
I am available for in-person sessions (once Covid-19 is resolved) and video and telephone sessions. Initial consultations are 30-45 minutes long at no cost so that we can see if there is a good fit for us to work together.
Fees: $100 plus HST
Evening appointments are available.
Receipts provided.
