Vanessa Nixon

Introduction

The path to fulfillment, happiness and peace lies within us.  The process of therapy allows us to focus on self-exploration and healing.  My therapeutic work is rooted in an awareness that people have the desire, strength and resources within to meet their potential and thrive.  I use an empathic, compassionate and direct approach in an effort to promote trust and feelings of safety.

I have over 15 years of clinical experience providing mental health services.  I specialize in working with individuals with chronic and traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, body image issues, etc.  I utilize a variety of approaches including talk therapy, cognitive behavioural interventions, narrative theory and EMDR.

I work with people who have experienced many types of trauma including, but not limited to: childhood abuse, relationship abuse, bullying, complex grief, physical illness and crimes of violence.
