What makes your approach different?
All of us at Levity Counselling work as humans first, therapists second. We certainly don't have it all figured out, but that's part of what makes us helpful in our work. We tend to show up as authentic, flawed humans who help you feel heard and seen while keeping in mind the power structures at play in the therapeutic relationship. We don’t want therapy to feel like we’re prescribing knowledge or information to you, but rather that we’re in it with you, a fellow human who also makes mistakes and struggles sometimes. For these reasons, we tend to play well with folks who have had negative experiences with therapy in the past.
How do I know if therapy with you is right for me?
You might not know for sure until you give it a try! Fit is the most important thing about therapy, so we don't expect to be the right therapist for everyone. We suggest you give the first few sessions as a trial period, to ensure you feel the "fit" is there between you and your therapist. If we're not the right fit, we'll make sure you find someone who is!
