Therapists near Glen Cairn Kanata South Business Park helping Veterans with Anger Control

I began my journey working with children and youth over 20 years ago in the field of Child and Youth work. My passion for working with children and youth led me to further my education and pursue a Bachelor of Arts with a Specialization in Psychology. This has allowed me to expand my work with children, youth and families as a Registered Psychotherapist. My experience and passion are in helping people build and strengthen healthy attachments and connections not only with others, but more importantly with themselves. I have an extensive history of working with children, youth, parents, and families using an attachment-based framework. I was trained in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), an attachment-based therapy. It is truly an honour to bear witness to the changes that occur when focused on relationship and connection. In my work I use other evidence-based approaches including, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing as well as Mindfulness. I specialize in attachment, trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, ADHD, and adoption with children, teens and families. I believe that connection within the therapeutic relationship is so important and I will work with you in order to create safety as you trust me to walk alongside you for a part of your journey. I will focus on your story in a respectful and non-judgmental way so that together we can create the foundation for what you need in order to grow and change in the ways you want.

Thank you for considering me in your search for a therapist. It is my belief that the most meaningful therapy is grounded in the safety and fit of the client-therapist relationship. I strive to maintain a practice that is authentic, transparent, and honouring of the courage it takes to arrive in therapy. My approach is integrative and often draws from both person-centred and narrative methodologies, which allows the therapeutic process to be tailored to your specific needs. I strive to create a warm and inclusive space that fosters collaboration, discussion, and self-exploration. I offer individual counselling services to youth (ages 10+) and adults. My practice specializes in working with anxiety and depression, questions and considerations regarding sexual orientation and/or gender identity, grief, stress, and challenges within interpersonal relationships. I wish to engage you in co-creating an environment that invites a sense of empowerment, in sharing your stories, and the exploring of new considerations through self-compassion. It would be my privilege and pleasure to accompany you along your therapeutic journey.

"If we share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame cannot survive." - Brene Brown - There are many experiences in life that lead us to feeling overwhelmed. I am here to let you know that you are not alone. My greatest passion in life is to help people find their inner, healing strength and to empower them to reconnect with their self worth. As a seasoned psychotherapist, with over 31+ years of experience, I offer an empathic, person-centred approach to therapy. I integrate various approaches including emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness and collaborative problem solving, while fostering strength and resiliency. I focus on the value of connection and create a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to explore their inner most feelings and work towards their goals. I support adults, families, parents, couples and youth ages 16+ who present with a wide range of mental health and stress concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, work and school related issues, parenting, self esteem, identity, physical health and relationship stress. Online, telephone and in person sessions are available. I truly look forward to you sharing your story with me. Take care, Nynetha
