Tamara Dueckman
Therapist
Do you ever feel so weighed down by the expectations and responsibilities in your life that you have lost a sense of connection, hope, or joy? Do your feelings of exhaustion or overwhelm lead you to a sense of disconnection from yourself and your relationships? Do you ever wonder if your life could be more enjoyable, or even fulfilling? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed with living up to the expectations that are placed upon them, whether those expectations are held by others or themselves.
As a therapist, it is my deep privilege to hold space for conversations in which clients can explore the difficulties in their lives. It takes vulnerability, courage and strength to face our problems head-on and seek support from others as we do so.
While I am open to clients of all genders, ages, and walks of life, I have particular experience and interest in working with parents, couples and families. I love to support clients as they journey through pre- and post-natal mental health concerns, parenting challenges, and re-claiming their identities and relationships after having a baby. I also have extensive experience in supporting youth and young adults as they navigate the challenges that come with transitioning to adulthood.
My approach to counselling is deeply rooted in the belief that healing happens in the context of authentic connection and relationship. I am committed to entering the therapeutic space with humility and curiosity so that you feel safe and welcomed enough to bring your whole self. My goal is to walk alongside you as you discover or re-discover your strengths, joys, goals, and deeply-held beliefs and values.
