Welcome.
Lindsay Sommerauer, RP
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Prior to becoming a therapist, my background was in education - I have always been in the field of learning and growth. I identify as queer and recognize that I am an uninvited guest to this land, a descendant of settlers in Canada and committed to my own relearning. I have lived experience in parenting, religious deconstruction and spiritual rebuilding, blended families, living and working abroad, significant career change, and varied relationship structures.
My work is informed by several methods of therapy, but at the core, I’m focused on our relationship with one another, and your relationship with yourself. I am informed in my work by compassion-focused therapy, internal family systems therapy (IFS), existential therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), values work, and emotion-focused therapy (EFT). I practice as an IFS-informed therapist after completing a six-month training with IFSCA. I can incorporate art and movement practice if this fits the work we are doing.
I am genuinely curious about each of the people I serve, and honoured to enter into collaboration with each one as they discover themselves, shape their lives, and reach their goals.
