Nicole L. Morrissey: Personalized Therapy to Support Healing & Wellbeing

I am a certified counsellor and holistic therapist who believes in the innate strength, wisdom, and inner resources of each individual. I work with teens and adults, both individually and in couples. I use an integrative, humanistic approach to therapy where external systems (ie. family, environment, culture, society, history) and internal systems (ie. thoughts, emotions, body, brain, spirit, “parts” and overall energetic alignment) of a client may be addressed depending on their chosen focus and desired outcome.

I draw from various theories and modalities to inform my individualized approach with each client, and I do so from a trauma-informed lens. My therapeutic approaches include, but are not limited to, somatic experiencing (SE), emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (MBCT), internal family systems (IFS), biofeedback, energy psychology, sound therapy, and relational-experiential therapy.

Although therapeutic work can be challenging to our sense of self and the way we relate to the world, creating a supportive, nourishing container of care and intention can help to move through these challenges with a sense of hope. It is my intention to co-create a space with clients where they can feel safe enough to be vulnerable, explore the depths of their inner world, have brave conversations and work towards wanted change. Through the therapeutic process and therapist-client alliance, I seek to support my clients through building trust, a felt sense of safety, instilling helpful strategies, assisting in the development of agency, and re-awakening their innate wisdom, so that they can move forward with embodied resources that will support them in living more empowered lives.
