Sofia Schuringa
,BA Psych, ADMH, RHNC
Through my years of experience and training as a dancer, artist, counsellor, and an individual, I have learned the importance of authentic connection, creativity, and compassion. When working with new clients, I love to follow the philosophy, "be curious." I believe that authentically connecting with others is one of the most powerful indicators of success.
My background is in creative arts, mental health, addiction, and holistic wellness. I take a holistic approach with counselling - focusing on the various areas of your life and helping you find alignment and balance in all of them. This approach has been beneficial for many of my clients! We must treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I follow the lead on what each client needs, meeting them where they are at. I take a person-centred, eclectic approach whether that is in person, over the phone, online, or via email.
I welcome you to get in touch and find hope and healing in the areas that you desire. Support is not far away!

"Love this course. I was soo confused and stressed going in. This course unravelled so much in my life and helped me to dig right into where I needed to be to resolve deep issues. My therapist, I won't divulge her name, but want to, is wonderful. She allowed me to express my true real feelings at the time and help me to discover more about myself. In turn, this help me to see what the over overlapping issues are and caused my anxiety and how they inter-relate. I wasn't even going for that but she was able to straighten it out by me doing the work. It was a little overwhelming at first but it all goes together. I hope the next people appreciate all the course has to offer and how much better one can feel if you take the time to do the work."

"This has been proving to be a great resource. I like how direct the program is with identifying problematic thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Then you get a back and forth conversation with a therapist that helps identify things that would have otherwise been overlooked.
I'm about a third of the way through the program, but have been taking my time to flesh things out. This definitely is one of those "you get out what you put in" situations. Looking forward to completing the program."
