Theresa Smith - Counselling Intern

Areas of Focus

  • Neurodivergence (ADHD)

  • Depression and Anxiety

  • Identity and Sexuality (queer/non binary/trans/gender non-conforming)

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) - (currently learning about)

 

We all hold potential for healing, transformation, and personal growth. I am a gentle patient counselor. In our time together we can work with memories, present situations, and future worries. To understand, make sense of experiences while finding self-compassion for what we have been through and how we are today.

I work to uphold an anti-oppressive approach which means I recognize the structural nature of oppression, and the ways this can impact our wellness and shape concern and challenges clients may face. I offer individual counselling session to people aged 14 and older.

My Approach

  • Client-centred

  • Strength-based

  • Trauma-informed

  • Feminist

  • Anti-oppressive

  • Holistic (body, mind, spirit)
