Dorothy is a seasoned counsellor (CCPA certified), who holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. Dorothy has experience with several modalities but believes strongly in the healing power of IFS (Internal Family Systems) in addressing trauma, anxiety and most issues that keep us from being the best version of ourselves. Of course, every individual is complex and responds to their own unique combination of approaches so often elements of CBT, Narrative Therapy, or other theories are interspersed with the main approach. At the heart of many presenting issues is the family we grew up in and the primary relationships we formed. Attachment styles, relational challenges, fears and patterns are often formed in the early parts of life. Through the process of exploration and curiosity, we uncover the pain/events that have molded us. By examining the underlying assumptions that no longer serve us, we can clear the way for positive growth and self-realization.
