Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately by your emotions and life demands? Do you sometimes feel like you have exhausted your coping resources and no longer know how to move forward? If so, do not worry or judge yourself. We have all felt like this at some point in our lives. Let me introduce myself: I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (www.ninahopmeiercounselling.ca), and am extremely passionate about the counselling process due to building a strong and trusting bond with my clients. I work from a supportive and nonjudgmental stance, focusing on strengths and resources that lead to positive change and growth.
Offering you a healing space with intelligence and heart. I bring over 30 years of experience working with individuals and groups to you as a counsellor, coach, and family constellations facilitator. My style is warm and empathic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ friendly, poly-amory friendly, and spiritually aware. I bring a range of modalities to be able to tailor the approach that is right for you.
It's not easy to reach out and ask for help. But what I want you to know is that everyone needs somebody to talk to at some point in their lives. It doesn't mean you're weak or sick or less than anyone else. It just helps to have a neutral third party you can say anything to. No matter what's coming up for you now, you can talk to me.
I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in navigating through emotional complexities and life transitions, enhancing their quality of life and well-being.
I genuinely believe that in life, what might seem like a setback, can often be the best thing for us. There is always a silver lining or a meaning to be found in the suffering we experience. We are not our feelings, thoughts, experiences, or our darkest days. We are always, at any given time, whole, worthy beings. If you've fallen out of touch with your authenticity and are seeking support to find your way back to yourself I invite you to reach out to me. You are not alone in this.
Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
Our clinic centres intersectional 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health and wellness. We are a collective of queer-identified counsellors providing queer and gender affirming therapy to individuals, couples & partners, and families. We are also a neurodivergent team, and offer specialized support around Autism and ADHD. We have a diverse team with a variety of lived/living experiences and professional qualifications to support you along your journey.
Do you struggle with ADHD, procrastination, finding focus, time management, self-esteem, emotion regulation, motivation, completing tasks, and living up to your full potential? Join me in a virtual weekly support group for adults with ADHD or in an individual coaching session where we implement skills, tools, and strategies to support you in overcoming obstacles while reaching your goals and learning to thrive with ADHD. My own journey with an ADHD diagnosis, combined with my therapeutic expertise and specialized training in ADHD, has equipped me with valuable insights and tools to empower others to thrive amidst challenges.
In addition to my proficiency in CBT and DBT, I draw inspiration from IFS and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My diverse background, encompassing holistic nutrition and yoga teacher training, significantly influences my approach, emphasizing the integral role of a healthy lifestyle in ADHD treatment.
