Therapists in Newfoundland and Labrador

I work primarily with parents, soon-to-be parents, and those trying to conceive who wish to improve their wellbeing. Parental wellbeing is the main determining factor for infant and child wellbeing and I work with people to prevent postpartum issues by enhancing their wellbeing prior to becoming a parent and supporting their wellbeing during their transition into parenting and beyond. I also help parents (at any stage of parenthood) through hard things and help them take care of their families by taking care of themselves.

I work from a trauma informed approach with individuals and families as they negotiate the highs and lows of developmental stages and life transitions and work through them to build healthier lives and stronger relationships.

Supporting people to thrive in their intimate lives is one of my passions. I offer counselling services to people struggling with concerns related to sexuality and relationships, and those seeking to overcome the impact of past traumatic experiences.

I feel people need to communicate with each other more often. We need to talk in a non-judgmental environment and realize that it's ok to ask for help. I will try to help anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life. I feel counselling is not only for those living with a mental health disorder, it is also for those who wish to maintain optimal overall wellness.

Life can present many struggles that lead us to feel overwhelmed. A warm and supportive safe space provides the foundation for self-exploration and building new skill sets that help us through these moments. Whether your concerns are related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and/or grief, I aim to provide compassionate care that validates your experience and supports your goals. - - - Now offering private team-based Adult ADHD Assessments with a Registered Psychologist in Newfoundland and Labrador. - - -

My ideal client is someone who is motivated. Someone who is willing to take steps to make changes. Whether they are willing to learn some skills to help with their anxiety, depression, stress etc. or whether they are learning to manage difficult situations. I enjoy working with people who are willing to take what we learn in session and apply it to their life. I love working with people of different backgrounds and different needs.

Welcome to my page. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma symptoms, substance use or relational concerns it can be difficult to know where to start. If you hope to improve your relationships, reduce stress, increase motivation, explore your relationship with a substance of choice, manage emotions or understand your symptoms, therapy can provide you with guidance and support.

Update for April 2023: Please connect with me via email due to increased spam associated with the phone application. I love the work that I am able to undertake as a clinical social worker. It is my priority to facilitate the goals of my clients in a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship, acknowledging that each person has their own story, requiring personal attention tailored to their needs. I provide both individual and group counselling in the areas of mental health, addictions, concurrent disorders and trauma.

My name is Heidi Pond and I’m a St. John’s-based Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I fully recognize that life is not always easy, and I care deeply about helping you navigate life’s greatest challenges. Understanding that each client is unique, each session is tailored to your specific needs. I bring warmth and empathy to the counselling room, creating a space where you’re able to feel a sense of comfort.

I lead with a client-centered trauma-informed approach. I believe you are the master of your life however sometimes you may need support to help move you through a "stuck" situation. Together we can explore the questions you are unable to answer and find a way "through," while moving toward a happier and calmer present and future.

Everyone needs additional support at times. Life can become tangled with mixed emotions and underlying thoughts or beliefs. There may be unexpected obstacles, challenges and changes in your life causing you to feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, or you may not identify with how you are feeling, but you have noticed that your mood and behaviours have changed. You may not be aware of the physical and/or social impact this may be having on your life. Together we can identify your inner strengths and develop additional strategies and tools to not only help you cope, but to support you and help you grow.

Counselling is voluntary. I will support you and guide you through our discussions, however you are in control of these sessions and your decisions. Counselling can often deal with uncomfortable and sometimes intense emotions. We will deal with such emotions together. While not everyone may be supportive of your choices you will be supported in counselling to work through those choices. One of my greatest passions is to help others find their voice & passion as well as advocating for their needs.

Are you overwhelmed by trauma, depression, or relationship issues (marriage, partner, friends, family)? Have you felt misunderstood or found therapy ineffective before? You’re seeking understanding, acceptance, and a path to self-growth. Your goal is to become the best version of yourself, gaining clarity and peace of mind. Together, we'll create a flexible, personalized therapeutic plan that addresses your unique needs, helping you navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Let's start your journey to a brighter future.

In difficult times, we struggle to cope, and often engage in self-defeating behaviours that can further complicate our lives. I offer a service where you can feel safe to share without being judged. I have practiced counselling for over 17 years, with a 25+ year social work career history. I am a registered social worker, and obtained my Bachelor of Social Work degree from McGill University. I have also completed some MSW study at Memorial University, and have received intensive training from psychoanalyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes-Reyes.

I have been practicing social work for nearly 15 years and am eternally grateful for the work I am able to do, and the relationships I have been able to form. I have worked in diverse practice areas which have provided me with the knowledge, skills and compassion needed to create meaningful, therapeutic relationships with people. I believe in the value of showing up as my genuine self in sessions with you. My approach is client-centered; I bring a variety of tools to the table, and I believe that you do as well, and our work together will be collaborative and goal driven. I work with young people and adults, as well as couples.

Trauma occurs many ways – abuse, accidents, divorce, death and it can suck the life right out of you. Maybe you’ve had sleepless nights and restless mornings and it does not feel worth it to get out of bed. Maybe you've thought of harming yourself or possibly had suicidal thoughts. Trauma can affect all parts of your life; your relationships, your ability to work, your ability to feel safe and happy. Sometimes you feel like all is well and that you have dealt with it. You feel fine and 6 months later it feels like it just happened, It is possible to get your life back. Reach out, I can help.

Are you struggling in this crazy world? Do you feel anxious, sad, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, and/or tired of it all? Do you feel lost and alone, that no one understands you, that you are fighting your struggles alone? Is it difficult to muster the motivation and energy to do things that you once enjoyed? Are you constantly embroiled in conflict with others? Do you wish things were better, that you felt better, that the pain, sadness, and conflict would go away and be replaced with happiness, peace, contentment, and joy?

I am passionate about the field of psychology and appreciate that life is complicated.  Sometimes we need support and guidance from professionals to help navigate the roller coasters of emotions that we find ourselves on.  I assess and treat individuals with a variety of mental health concerns, including individuals with moderate to severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).  If you think I might be a good fit to help you or one of your loved ones, then please reach out.  I'll be happy to hear from you.

You have a big inner world right now that no one in your life has the capacity to fully understand much less than help you through. What you sense and pick-up from your outer world may also cause stress and overwhelm. You may not even know what it really is, or where it stems from beyond surface stuff. It’s a dilemma. One that is often internalized with confusion and doubt until one day the discomfort moves to a new level. Maybe that day is today... you’re getting ready, building courage to ask for help. Navigating the journey forward requires space, recognization, understanding and skill… and I'm here as your Seasoned Guide. - M.

Hello, I am glad you are here! Reaching out for help can be scary, so as a therapist, my main priority is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space so we can collaboratively work on the issues you are experiencing. In sessions, we will explore your thought patterns, emotions, and maladaptive behaviours and learn tools and techniques that will help you live a more meaningful, stable life. Through our work together, we will discover your strengths and learn how to implement them to solve problems in your everyday life.

There are so many experiences in life that can make us lose touch with ourselves. You may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you’re unable to relax or let go. If you've had to be the one keeping it together and supporting other people, you may be here because you feel like you're just treading water with no direction or sense of safety. Therapy can be a place for you to finally let those walls down, let go of the burden to be "the strong one" and reconnect with yourself.
