Change your Mind, Change your Brain, Change your Life, One Session at a Time
Theresa Breen, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Associate Psychotherapist/Counsellor
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious? Are you struggling with relationships, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or finding balance in life transitions? Do you incessantly worry or feel like you are not "good enough"? Are you ready to rediscover your best self?
Hi, I'm Theresa! I believe in the power of collaboration - working together to explore challenges, set goals, and pave the way towards a more fulfilling life. I'll empower you with valuable insights and practical tools, like mindfulness and self-compassion, and help you cultivate a healthier mindset. I provide therapeutic services to clients through individual sessions, utilizing various
therapeutic techniques. I have experience and training in Cognitive-Based (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT), Mindfulness-Based, Humanistic, and Person-Centered modalities, and emphasize self-compassion, nervous system regulation, psychoeducation, and practical skills development in my work with clients.
Life's hurdles are easier to navigate with support. I'm available for appointments in the afternoons and evenings. I'm excited to be a part of your journey!
