Counselling/Psychotherapy promotes positive growth, well-being, and mental health, with sessions designed to help you better understand yourself and communicate with your world. The work we do is person-centered, based on each person’s strengths, and the approaches we use are designed to meet your needs. So, despite our Valley Art Therapy name, this means that not every client we see does ‘Art Therapy’, as there may be other approaches that are more comfortable or a better fit for the client. Individual counselling can help to support you through difficult times and with difficult emotions, and is available for children, teens, adults, and seniors. Sessions are typically 50-minutes, with sessions offered in-person and online.

EMDR is well known for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has also been used to effectively treat a wide range of mental health issues, like anxiety and panic attacks, depression, phobias, sleep problems, complicated grief, and addictions. Through the EMDR process, there is often a significant reduction in a person's level of disturbance, and the difficult memory tends to shift in intensity, simply becoming a neutral memory of a past event. With EMDR, the client is always in control, alert, wide awake, and can stop the process at any time. EMDR can be used with all ages, although the process looks slightly different for children. Sessions are typically 90 minutes, although longer or intensive sessions may be appropriate for some clients. The number of sessions required is unique to each client.

Coaching

Dana Corr
(She/Her/Hers) M.Ed., RCAT, CCC

I work with people across all age groups, currently focusing on young children and adults impacted by trauma. If you are finding that your current day functioning is being impacted by your past trauma, or you are wanting to move through difficult life events, then I may be a right fit for you in your therapeutic healing. In your work with me, you can expect to move at a pace that feels safe, without always having to put words to complicated or traumatic experiences. An integrated, holistic approach, based in nervous system survival responses (Polyvagal Theory), and the somatic experience of the body, is designed to support you in your healing and is the foundation of our work together.
