Cassandra Valmestad | 加拿大認證輔導員

My role is not just to walk along side you, but rather to support you while we work to help you unravel childhood wounds & unhelpful narratives that are attached to them. Together we will discover how these experiences contribute to pain that you carry into your current life. I work with you to help you be in touch with the underlying emotions that you carry day to day and give them a safe space to surface and feel.

與我經歷治療的體驗

If you are looking to discover the root cause or underlying feeling, you have come to the right place! You are the expert of your life; what I do is help you dissect and uncover experiences that may or may not root in your childhood that is affecting you in the present day. Together, we will explore your emotions attached to your experiences while unraveling the narrative behind the experience. Then, the goal is to reframe the narrative or story, so that you can best cope with your experiences and move past them to a place of healing. To every session, I bring empathy, compassion, and an open mind. As we work together, you can expect a safe and judgement-free zone.

治療手法

這些是我主要的治療手法，均接受過專業訓練或有豐富臨床經驗：

Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT)

Often times we suppress our emotions. Being able to identify and sit with our feelings helps us process them. I help clients learn to identify what they are feeling and how this feeling may or may not be impacting them. Within EFT I use attachment theory to help identify attachment styles that have formed in childhood and see how they replay into your current relationships.

Narrative Therapy

What are the narratives you have attached to your feelings? How does this affect your current life? Let’s unravel the narratives and stories that you have carried and work towards reframing or changing the ‘story’. You are not the problem, ‘the problem’ is the problem.
