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!

"I just started the process so I haven't had too much experience with it yet."

"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."

"At first, I thought this seemed sketchy because its called "online-therapy.com". I was skeptical of it, especially since they were offering it free. However, it is amazing. I have learned so much and have learned how to retrain my thoughts of anxiety. I use the journal almost every day. I highly recommend."

"It’s been such a gift to be able to do therapy online, especially during a pandemic. My therapist has helped me tremendously already and it’s only been a few weeks. The tools that come with the subscription are super useful. I’d recommend this to anyone, really."

"I am very impressed with the worksheets. I am getting a email each day to comment on worksheets. I am to the point that I need more questions in general from the information I have shared, not just a short comment on my last comments."

"Straight forward and helpful"

"So far, so good. Still early in trying out the online method and only using the basic access but appreciate how the therapist will still respond within 24 hours. If it continues to work, will consider increasing my subscription as the one thing missing at the moment is the connection that builds with some sort of direct communication as opposed to leaving chat messages."
