Cortney Pasternak Counselling

Description

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and daily life challenges? Have you had an unexpected crisis? Are you struggling or feeling stuck in your relationships? There is rarely just one issue. Let’s talk. I’m here to help!
As a therapist, I strive to work collaboratively, and to listen with empathy, compassion and non-judgment so that individuals, couples, families feel comforted, supported and understood. Our work together often involves helping you, the client, become more aware of unhelpful patterns, and develop skills to better manage stress, solve problems, communicate positively, resolve conflicts, build trust and intimacy in your relationships, clarify life goals and values, and find hope. I help people with a variety of issues including: - Anxiety and social anxiety - Stress management & depression - Grief and loss - Life, school & career transitions - Family conflict - Parenting - Marriage & pre-marriage counselling - Divorce - Infidelity - Infertility - Abuse - Trauma My approach is collaborative, integrative and eclectic. I have been trained in a number of evidence-based models of therapy and I draw from those models to tailor our work toward your specific needs and goals. I offer counselling at an office conveniently located near downtown Hamilton and the Locke Street area. I am near the highway and on a major bus route. I also offer free parking. In addition to in-person counselling for individuals and couples, I offer phone and online counselling for your convenience. I am also happy to conduct sessions in your home, hospital or hospice on occasion if necessary to accommodate locations and schedules. Please know I may offer a sliding scale based on income.
