 Therapy Style 

Which bucket would your therapy style fit into primarily?

Using a social justice and multicultural lens, I use an eclectic approach depending on the need of the client that draws from Trauma Informed Therapy, Person Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

​

What’s that defining feature of your approach to therapy?

Validating my client’s experiences and embracing multi-cultural identities, while being mindful of causing any harm to their already existing problems.

​

Trauma-informed therapy/approach: Recognizes and emphasizes understanding how a traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental, behavioural, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the person’s emotional and behavioural responses.

​

Person-centred therapy: Uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction.

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Targets psychological problems by looking at learned patterns of unhelpful behaviour. Helps better understand and identify distorted thoughts and develop a better sense of confidence in one’s own abilities.
