Wendy Shisko, Bsc, MA, RP (Qualifying)
As a retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), I offer a wealth of life experience, adding to my clinical knowledge. During my time in the CAF, I experienced stories of addiction, relationship breakdown, and PTSD, which led me to change careers and help people through a counselling lens.
During sessions, I strive to provide a caring, safe space, and work collaboratively with each client, to create opportunities for healing and growth on a deeper level. I like to take a holistic approach to therapy, drawing from your unique life experiences, in order to reach your goals. Therapy will be cognitively and emotionally explorative, using modalities such as CBT, DBT, IFS, and Inner Child. Additionally, we will use somatic approaches to align the mind and body.
My areas of interest include anxiety, burn-out, guilt, shame, crisis situations, separation/divorce, and acceptance of physical/neurological disabilities. I am here to offer a non-judgemental and confidential space to adults and couples, if you are ready.
