www.restingtree.ca/celeste-caiPractice information:
Emotional pain is inevitable in life. Feelings of stress, inadequacy, disappointment, anxiety, anger, and sadness are universal and part of the shared human experience. Every individual experience these feelings through different situations and all of us interpret these experiences through varied perspectives because of our upbringing, social, cultural and personality differences. To move on, sometimes we learn to mask our difficult emotions by suffering in silence or behaving as though everything is okay. However, when we avoid or suppress our pain, they may fester within us and surface through personal / career / relationship / health issues.
Despite the pain, there lies an opportunity for growth. Growth and healing take place when we are rested in the confidence that we can learn to heal, adapt and improve, even in the worst situations. To manage life's challenges, we can learn how to embrace our own mental states, discover and use our internal resources to shape our own narrative of life again.
Clinical Approach:
My approach is wholehearted, empathetic and collaborative. As your therapist, I will strive to understand your issues and needs, and support you with compassion and guidance. I seek to hold a safe space for you to feel free to be who you are, to be with all your thoughts, feelings and struggles, no matter how big or small. I am generally guided by a strengths-based, humanistic approach that involves reflective conversations as well as skills training. For trauma-related issues, my preferred treatment methods are Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Since every client has unique needs, I also work by integrating tools and techniques from different therapy approaches.
With over 10 years of experience, I hope to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental environment to be the best version of you. We will journey through those difficult moments and explore what it means to live with deeper clarity, authenticity and joy. It will indeed be my honour to connect with you and i look forward to our time together.
