Is counselling something you should consider?

Autoimmune Simplified

Episode 92, Is counselling something you should consider?

This answer might surprise you...

This episode is so valuable. We talk about collaborative care and who is on your support team. My guest today is Stephanie Dinsmore EdD (c) MSW RSW, social worker and owner of Mindful Path Counselling.

I’ve wanted to have this conversation for a long time. Mental health is a significant component of autoimmune for many reasons which we’ve addressed in previous podcasts. In this episode, Stephanie walks us through why and when you should consider counselling and everything else you need to know if you’re considering working with a therapist.

Stephanie also walks us through many free tips and where you can find other resources.

This was such a meaningful conversation. Remember you can not have too many on your support team. We’re all here to help.

Learning is of utmost importance to me to effectively provide concurrent knowledge to my clients. Currently, I’m working towards my Doctorate in Higher Education and Leadership EdD (c) with Capella University. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Wilfrid Laurier University and I am a member in good standing (RSW) of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). In addition to my formal education have continued in my pursuit of expanding my professional development folder. Most recently Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as other therapeutic modalities that will help guide my work with clients.

My counselling style is inclusive of the whole-person, strengths-focused, and client-centred. We will work to address your present life challenges while integrating your past experiences. My services are suitable for individuals, youth, post-secondary students, couples, and families that are feeling overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and life experiences. I specialize in the treatment of Depression, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Negative Thought Patterns, Hoarding, and Trauma-related disorders.

Most importantly, I am a genuine, authentic, knowledgeable, and compassionate person. I believe that people are the experts in their own lives and through the therapeutic process I will help, you work through life’s challenges in hopes of living a more fulfilling life. In my personal time, I love spending time with and connecting with family/friends and my two dogs. I love to stay active through Cross, health, and wellness, and spending time in nature.
