Suzanne specializes in Trauma & Attachment, is trained in EMDR and offers Neuroptimal Neurofeedback. Remember, it takes a strong person to ask for help.

My practice practice is inclusive and diverse, consisting of clients who seek help with such difficult life experiences as; trauma, stress, grief, separation, family problems, depression and anxiety. In therapy we work towards understanding issues and through this process learn how we arrived in our current mind frame in the first place. I specialize in trauma, loss, grief and attachment with chil

dren, adolescents and adults and use a number of approaches which are tailored to meet your individual needs. Some of the techniques I use include art therapy, mindfulness training, and psychodynamic therapy. I use a respectful, flexible and non-judgmental approach to counselling, based on the belief my clients have untapped strengths and resilience. If you would like to work with a non-judgmental and caring therapist, I encourage you to take the first step and contact me. Counselling can help you (or your child) become more self-aware and understand the reasons why you behave and react in the way you do. It helps to find the real you. In therapy your strengths and resilience are honoured. You will be listened to, respected, and supported without judgement. You may come to understand coping strategies you’ve used to manage pain and difficult emotions and decide to explore new and healthier ways to manage challenges you face in everyday life. This will help you to move forward from painful or frustrating life experiences. The next step is taking on the work and making a commitment once you have chosen to make an investment in yourself.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

For those of you who wish you were “more like”, don’t! Be yourself. Be unique. Embrace who you are, your individuality, your joy, your community and friendships.

Make Time For Yourself

How often do we hear this message and how often do we follow through? I am guilty of that myself.

Time for yourself doesn’t have to always be a chunk of time. It can be taking more time for breakfast, noticing the sunshine or garden (in your neighbourhood or your garden), putting your phone away for an hour, listening to your favourite tunes in the car…… the list goes on.

How do you incorporate time for yourself? Remember, you are important under all circumstances.

Neurofeedback during pregnancy helps to:
🔵Create and maintain calm for you and your baby
🔵Be present and more attuned
🔵Regulate your Central Nervous System which helps you to respond in a more healthy manner. This reduces stress hormones which helps both you and your baby.
🔵Self care. When you take care of yourself, you are better able to take care of your baby.
🔵To soothe symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, headaches, mood swings and incontinence

Neuroptimal ® Neurofeedback is 100 non invasive and a safe way to reduce stress during pregnancy. It trains the brain to be present and to let go of old, maladaptive patterns, working with the brain’s natural ability to heal itself - Neuroplasticity. NOTHING IS ADDED TO YOUR BRAIN OR BODY. Neuroptimal ® is like a mirror for your brain, simply training it to respond more efficiently to the present.

If you have a question about Neurofeedback, would like to try a session and start creating positive shifts, I would love to hear from you. Contact info in bio or send a DM. Suzanne 😊

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

There’s not much more to elaborate on these words. We cannot change our life journey that brought us to where we are. We can start where we are and build upon it. Focus on what we have, not on comparisons and wishes. Make the best of the skills and insights we have and build upon them. Trust that “doing what we can” will bring results and change. And trust we will learn from our actions.

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Arthur Ashe

You are not one thing. You are so much more.

You are human with the ability to be vulnerable and experience the whole range of emotions. You can feel more than one emotion at a time. You are able to create opportunities and make choices. You can change your mind. You can choose your focus. You can be you and love who you are.

Thank you for the reminder and graphic.

“I believe the that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.” Maya Angelou

It is to challenge yourself, to grow, to have faith in yourself. Dare yourself to think out of the box. Dare to make yourself a priority, to be seen and heard. Dare to believe in yourself, everyday.

Not only can you do big brave things, you do them everyday.

How will you be brave today? This week?

Hi there. I was pleased with myself for getting to the gym yesterday when I noticed an older gentleman working out. He was blind. I couldn’t help but to be I inspired and impressed by his dedication, commitment and perseverance. I can only imagine the challenges he has had to overcome. The obvious and those we are unable to see. I believe we can all follow his lead, even when it’s difficult. We can ask for help when we need it. We can inspire. We can persevere. We can create goals for ourselves and work towards them. #life #lifechallenges #lifejourney #inspire #motivation #perseverance #gym #blind #goals #lafitness #excercise #wellness #help #human #mentalhealth #youmatter #bestself #you #neurofeedback #toronto

When you want to offer a suggestion you “might” want to try a different way. I often find that when people are told they “should” do something it implies there is no other alternative and the person telling them knows better. It isn’t always well received. You “might” find these suggestions helpful 😁 🟢You might find this helpful. You decide 🟡My experience with …. was helpful. Maybe you think so as well. 🟢What do you think of ….? 🟡I wonder if this might be helpful? Let me know what other suggestions you may have. I’m sure we will find them helpful. #suggestions #wellness #communication #friends #family #parenting #options #choice #choices #life #toronto #friday #helpful

What exactly is Dynamical Neurofeedback? Good question! Dynamical Neurofeedback trains the brain as it is, in its current state. It is not based upon a diagnosis or snap shot. It trains the whole brain, not just part of it. As a result, there is no chance of clinical error. We know the brain if perfectly capable of changing and adjusting itself which is called neuroplasticity. Norman Doidge talks about it in his book, The Brain That Heals Itself. Neuroptimal Dynamical Neurofeedback works on this principle and provides the information about what it is doing in real time and the brain intrinsically knows how to adjust itself. Neuroptimal Neurofeedback helps you go from a place of discomfort to being resilient and flexible Have a question? I’d love to hear from you.

Hi. Something I often share with my clients about therapy and life is when you are climbing a mountain, you don’t have to get to the top or the pinnacle right away. You take your first five steps, ten steps and stop, enjoy the view. You don’t have to continue take on one challenge, after another challenge and another. Enjoy the view where you are at and maybe maintain it. taken a lot of effort and possibly time to get to where you are. The view is still good from where you are on the mountain. And when you’re ready, you will take on your next steps and next challenge and work your way to the top. Please let me know how this resonates with you.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” Neuroptimal ® helps calm your central nervous system so you respond (not react) in a more healthy manner. It also trains your brain to transition from one state to another more readily. Brain training with Neuroptimal® can help you let go, not sweat the small stuff, respond, be more present, more aligned with your true self.

Is there another way to get things done or move forward? I don’t think so. It’s easy to become overwhelmed when we look at a goal in it’s entirety, or at the big picture, especially if you experience anxiety. Taking things one step at a time, or breaking things into chunks, allows us to be in the moment, to tackle and learn from each step. ➡️Break your goal(s) into smaller, achievable steps. The more specific, the greater your success can be. ➡️Practice patience ➡️Have faith in your abilities. Document or acknowledge each accomplishment and/or step. ➡️Measure your success by the steps you have taken. What steps are you taking towards your goals and journey? Let us know in comments. We can all benefit. #onestepatatime #mindful #mindfullness #chunks #goals #goalsetting #life #lifejourney #wellness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #anxiety #stress #believe #believeinyourself #inspire #selfcare #confidence #selflove #loveyourself #noticethelittlethings #empowerment #motivation #bekindtoyourself #bekind
