Therapists Beginning With L in Newfoundland and Labrador

The best thing you can ever do, is invest in yourself! A counselor can be the first resource to contact when people are in need of emotional support. I have a wealth of experience in working with individuals and families and I strive to help people learn healthy coping skills in order to improve their mental health and wellness or to help overcome everyday life difficulties. I am registered Social Worker with a background in clinical counselling and advanced trainings in numerous therapeutic modalities and approches, all while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality.

Hello, I’m Claire (she/her)! I am a registered social worker (MSW, RSW) who is passionate about creating a safe space to support you on your wellness journey, whatever that may look like for you. I value the importance of creating a welcoming, non-judgmental, trauma-informed and strengths-focused environment to support you where you are. I have experience working with individuals who are seeking support with navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, career exploration, (dis)ability and social issues.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to push themselves outside their comfort zone and bring their unique personality, interest and needs in therapy to make meaningful change for them. I also enjoy using holistic and cultural healing approaches when appropriate.

Have you ever driven home from work and ended up in the drive way with no idea how you got there? Thinking the same thoughts over and over and not been able to get to sleep? Reacted by saying things you wish you hadn’t? Yep, we’ve all been there. Through learning evidence-based mindfulness exercises, my clients learn how to re-wire their brains, change their inner dialogue, and create more space in their lives. Mindfulness training can be therapeutic, however it differs from therapy; we learn how to let go of our usual thinking, story-telling, and analyzing modes by exploring what is actually here right now.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do - I’m glad you are making that first step! My therapy room is a safe and accepting space where there is no agenda to change or "cure" you. It is to see you, as you are. My goal is that you feel seen and understood. Many clients come to me describing themselves as depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, stuck or anxious. Most are surprised that I don't try to ’get rid' of these symptoms, but that every part is welcome and has an important story to share. Through mindfulness we bring awareness to these feelings, to understand and embrace them to enable healing at a deeper level.

Hi there! My name is Heidi and my passion is working to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space within the counselling relationship. I work to provide individuals with a non-blaming, and respectful perspective where you are the expert of your life. Having the opportunity to support and witness you through this experience is truly a privilege. It can be difficult to reach out for new support and I appreciate you taking the time to explore my profile and determine if this is a good fit for you!
