Amai Emilie Luc

As a Registered Psychologist and Certified Art Therapist, I bring a unique perspective and approach to therapy. I use experiential, body-focussed, and process-oriented approaches drawing on Art Therapy, Mindfulness, Natural Processing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This means that while we will talk during your counselling session, the aim is to help you to experience the session. I tap into the wisdom of the body and help you to listen to the stories it tells through your felt experiences of chronic stress, pain, and illness. I can support you in learning to recognize and feel your feelings so that you are not overwhelmed by them. Whether your distress is from childhood abuse/neglect, long-standing relationship dynamics, or from single incident events, I can help you to understand the ways you have naturally adapted to survive the stressful or traumatic experiences. Together, we can create awareness of these adaptations, the role(s) they play in managing your distress and identify what is no longer serving you. Ultimately, I hope to help you process your feelings and find healing of body, mind, and spirit.
