Tamara Pearl Counselling Services

Description

My approach respects the uniqueness of each person. I provide a safe space to explore and diffuse what gets in the way of being who you want to be. I help you access your innate wisdom and resources so that you can feel more connected to yourself and others. I use talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, mindfulness, body centered approaches such as focusing oriented therapy, and EMDR. I will help you cultivate self compassion. Healing is an important journey and I am always honored to accompany people on that journey.
My areas of specific specialty and experience include trauma, cultural trauma, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and low self worth. I have a certificate in Aboriginal Focusing Oriented Therapy for Complex Trauma and I teach in the Masters of Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy program at Adler University. Body centered approaches are helpful because while our minds are busy trying to figure things out, our body sense usually has knowledge of what feels right. Expressive arts therapy is a powerful way to access parts of ourselves that words can't convey. Mindfulness helps us stay present and calm.
