Alana Sheridan MA, CCC, RP

Video / Telephone Psychotherapist & Consultant

EXPERIENCE:

I found early on that my passion in life is to help others work through life's struggles.  That, combined with my natural ability to connect in a real way with others, led me to the counselling field over nineteen years ago.  I have my Masters of Arts in Counselling and have experience working with individuals, couples, children and teens.  During my years as a counsellor, I have helped individuals work through anxiety, depression, low self worth, work stress, grief and loss, to name a few.  I have helped couples navigate through issues both to help stay within and working on the relationship, as well as how to amicably separate when the couple feels that is in their best interest.  I have many years experience working with families involved with foster care and the protective services forum, and specifically have experience working with parents on achieving a positive, working family.  

Wondering if counselling is the right next step?  Life can be difficult. Let's work through this together.

APPROACH:

I find the key to a successful therapy session is the connection between Therapist and Client.  You will find that I am extremely authentic and warm; however, once a working relationship has been established, I believe it to be important to uncover and challenge unhealthy patterns of thinking and / or behaviour.  It is then that we will work together to empower you with the skills to create more successful patterns for you in your life.  Together we will set realistic, achievable goals and identify what it will look like when those goals are achieved.  Let's create positive change in your life.
