Lori Tiemer

Registered Psychologist

Through the development of a strong therapeutic relationship, centered in authenticity, and warmth, my goal is to assist in your achievement of increased self-awareness and positive change. I strive to offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, and trusting environment where difficult emotions can be explored. Every individual is unique and I believe in empowering people to discover the solutions that work best for them.

Although my approach is eclectic, based on each client’s goals and needs, I work from a trauma informed, attachment focused perspective. Many of my clients benefit from developing awareness of how past experiences, beliefs, and patterns within their nervous systems can influence current difficulties. I am EMDR trained and utilize this approach in working with a variety of concerns. Other approaches I have training in are emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, child-parent relationship training, and polyvagal theory/somatic approaches.

... and experience personal growth. Depending on the teen’s preference, we may spend our sessions talking or incorporating different modalities such as art or sand tray therapy. Although much of my time with be spent with the teenager individually (if they are comfortable with that), it is also important that the parent(s)/caregiver(s) are involved (to an extent that does not intrude on the personal privacy of the teen). This may occur through individual parental consultations and/or parent/teen sessions, if appropriate. I have experience counselling teenagers dealing with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I also have experience working with teenagers in group settings, counselling them on career and educational planning.

...which is why I believe in a holistic approach to trauma therapy. It is important to learn stress management and emotional regulation techniques in order to move away from being stuck in a constant state of stress response (fight or flight). Processing and integrating traumatic events will occur gradually and within the safety of a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I have taken training related to prolonged exposure therapy as well as trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and have worked with adults diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder.
