Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE
Depth psychotherapy, as I practice it, emphasizes facilitating your self-discovery. Through a dedication to open, honest, spontaneous conversations, optional expressive art and writing, dream recall, meditations, and inner body focusing, you will be supported to bypass your critical conscious mind to access your subconscious mind programs to see how they are causing disturbances in your life. Once you understand your negative patterns, you can discover a way to grow forward.

Mariya Garnet
Pre-Licensed Professional, Pre-licensed Psychotherapist
I believe that therapy and healing represent a profound spiritual journey towards a more connected and present human experience. My fascination lies in the intricate relationship between the body, mind, and spirit, and how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are often guided by subconscious non-cognitive intelligence. This holistic perspective inspires my commitment to exploring the depths of human experience and fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves.
