specialized trauma treatment

Sometimes we get stuck in painful experiences when our normal ways of coping are overwhelmed. With the right support there is potential to transform suffering into creativity, connection, compassion, and calm. Over the years, my clients have shown me that working through life’s challenges can be a tremendous opportunity for learning how to thrive.
​
I specialize in working with adults whose childhood experiences are impacting their ability to reach their full potential. You might be highly successful at work, but struggle with relationships. At times you might feel hijacked by feelings of anxiety, sadness or anger and then feel overwhelmed, ashamed and isolated. You might lack confidence and be very self-critical even though you have many skills.

Common Challenges

• Feeling depressed, anxious, confused, frustrated, disappointed, embarrassed, guilty, ashamed, or lonely 
• Hijacked at times by bewildering feelings or thoughts, perhaps needing drugs or alcohol to cope
• Feeling constantly stressed or burned out
• Struggling with important relationships in your life, maybe finding it hard to trust people
• Lacking confidence, having a lot of self-judgement, maybe even hating yourself
• Being very successful in some areas of life, but not in others
• Wanting more meaning, joy or satisfaction from your life

I can work with you to…

• Foster mindfulness and self-compassion
• Evoke curiosity, self understanding and clarity
• Increase understanding of your emotions
• Support you with ways to feel more in control of your life and achieve your goals
• Explore more realistic and positive beliefs about yourself
• Provide tools to improve communication skills

Charlotte Ormond, PhD, MBA

PSYCHOLOGIST

After working for years with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, I learned how important it is to identify effective ways of facilitating profound and lasting change.  I have trained intensively over many years in a range of approaches to ensure that I have the skills to support you.

I believe that everyone has a different journey and has a really unique way of healing. There is no one-size-fits-all in therapy. I would listen to you very carefully to get a clear understanding of the barriers getting in the way of the life you want and collaborate with you to identify the approaches that work best for you. By working closely with you, I hope to empower you to unleash your full potential.

I specialize in supporting adults striving to create meaningful change in their life by overcoming the effects of issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and substance use.
