The Woods Counselling Co.

My practice specializes in chronic illness and trauma, with my focus being on helping teens and adults readjusting to life. Chronic illness, like trauma, affects everyone differently and can be scary and isolating to watch as symptoms creep in and start to take hold. This may bring up feelings of depression, isolation, and anxiety. As abilities change, and life becomes more uncertain. You may not have the skills or support you need to handle these situations, or symptoms and are unsure what to do. And that's ok! We all need help sometimes and reaching out is the first step. As a registered clinical counsellor, I use two verified types of therapy through an integrated approach. That blends together CBT and DBT. These work through investigating the thoughts, feeling, and actions that are involved in each situation. We will draw it out on a whiteboard and analyze it together. Then afterwards we will collaborate on solutions to your problems. And finally I will end each session, with tangible coping skill that you can work on each week to regain control over your life.
