Welcome.
Lindsay Sommerauer, RP (Qualifying)
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) 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 a queer woman and a Settler Canadian committed to her own relearning. I have lived experience in parenthood, spiritual deconstruction, blended families, living and working abroad, 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 also have training in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and include its elements when aligned with client desires and needs.
I am genuinely curious about each of my clients, and honoured to enter into collaboration with each person as they discover themselves, shape their lives, and reach their goals.
