Terri-Lynn Langdon

I am trained in many counselling/therapy models and I am particularly good at helping people navigate systems. Some of the approaches that I prefer include relational- cultural theory, narrative approaches to counselling and motivational interviewing styles. I have a strong background in DisAbility Studies, activism in the DisAbility and mental health community. I have worked extensively with people who are homeless.

I am queer positive and anti-oppressive. I have strong clinical skills in counselling with a Master of Social Work. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Appointments for people with mobility issues can be made at an alternative downtown location.

My educational background is: Master of Social Work, Wilfrid Laurier University 2009; training in disAbility Studies, BA in Sociology and political science 2005.

Dawn Stephenson

My core approach to counselling/psychotherapy is greatly influenced by the humanistic therapies. I believe that we all possess the internal wisdom to guide us toward the kind of lives we want for
ourselves. My role as a therapist is to help clients sort through the pain and confusion and connect to their personal wisdom and resources so that they can achieve the goals that are meaningful for them. As the therapeutic relationship is essential for successful therapy, I strive to bring my warmth, genuineness, presence (i.e. being fully engaged with client),
respect, and a non-judgmental attitude to each session with my clients.

A multicultural philosophy is also an important part of my practice. When working with clients, I keep in awareness the client’s multiple identities (e.g. race/culture, gender,
religion, etc.,) and the potential that these might influence problems and solutions alike. In other words, my goal is always to balance the client’s unique individuality, with the recognition that they are also a
part of a larger social context.

I am a certified member in good standing with the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). My
training and academic background includes: Masters in Counselling Psychology, University of Toronto (OISE); Honours undergraduate degree in Psychology, York University. I have also attended several professional development workshops on Mindfulness.

I help young adults and adults with the following issues:

Depression
Anxiety
Low
self-esteem
Life-transition/identity
Cultural
issues
Relationship
problems
Stress-management
Symptoms
experienced as a result of motor vehicle accidents

I’m currently working at Six Degrees Community Acupuncture on Saturdays (9-5pm). My rates are on a sliding scale, $40.00 to $80.00 for 50 minutes. I also charge a $25.00 initial consultation fee (60 minutes).

Services and Treatments

Posted May 25, 2009 - 9:57am

Private Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into key points on the body along our energy pathways to move, restore, nourish and balance Qi. Acupuncture addresses chronic or acute health concerns and is excellent preventative care.

Individual treatment: $55

Eastern Nutrition Consultation

Eastern nutrition is a foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Certain foods boost Qi, clear Damp or support the Kidneys much like Herbs or certain Acupuncture points. We are not calorie counting or measuring fat content. Rather, Eastern nutrition looks at the energetics of food, how you’re eating, and how that food interacts with your body’s Qi (life force). There are no absolutes in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sugar is not always “bad’’ and tofu is not always “good”. Food choices and suggestions are carefully considered in relation to the uniqueness of an individual and their health pattern.

When you come in to see a practitioner for a food assessment, they will ask you to keep a food diary for one week. The purpose of this diary is not to create stress around what you eat. Instead, the information you record will help the practitioner assess how the foods you eat interact with your health concerns, as well as allow them to make dietary recommendations that will help support your health and well-being. We hope this diary also fosters awareness around food choices and how dietary habits affect your overall health and day-to-day enjoyment of life. At Six Degrees, we see food as a source of pleasure, fuel and medicine. We want our clients to foster an enjoyable, positive and knowledgeable relationship with their food.Food

Fundamentals of Relational Psychotherapy:

As Human Beings We Are All Relational

We experience and learn about ourselves and the world through our interaction with our caregivers, friends, teachers and our culture. These interactions help shape our worldview and the ways we relate to others in the world.

Uncovering Relational Dynamics That Affect Our Well-Being

Relational Psychotherapy encourages the exploration of our ways of relating to ourselves and others, as well as our understanding of the world and our way of being in that world, as it relates to our emotions. When difficulty arises in our lives, we are able to trace back these difficulties to our earliest interactions with our caregivers.

Fostering Awareness Of Self And Other In Relationships

In the therapeutic relationship, individuals are able to discuss their concerns and struggles in a safe environment that encourages self-expression, heightened self-awareness, exploration and deeper understanding of negative feelings.

Laura Lee works with individuals who are 18 years or older who may be experiencing, or have experienced, the following:

Stress
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Relationship difficulties

She also welcomes individuals who would like to learn more about themselves through deeper exploration concerning their way of being and relating to the world and others in that world. If you would like further information about her services or would like to book an appointment, you can leave a confidential phone message at 647-342-9133..
