Prairie Sunrise Counselling

Prairie Sunrise Counselling Check out my website for more info! At PSC, I make ART available to the community, emphasizing affordability and accessibility.

Working to make individual counselling affordable, and accessible, and provide an alternative counselling experience for ages 12+ through the use of Accelerated Resolution Therapy. After 18 years of working as a counsellor in health services, and witnessing the multiple barriers individuals face when trying to access and navigate support, I went into private practice to make counselling affordable and accessible. Having grown up in rural Alberta and working with diverse individuals in schools, the justice system, and with unhoused populations, I understand the individuality of a person's experiences, current situations and needs. After training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I experienced its rapid relief and recognized its potential to transform mental health care for those who struggle with traditional methods. My focus is reducing as many barriers to service as possible by offering free consults and system navigation, flexible meeting locations, reduced rates, and adaptable session hours to meet your needs.

If you feel stuck, your nervous system may be in a blended state of both activated and shutdown mode. You WANT to do something, your brain wants you to get moving, but you feel like you can’t bring yourself to get going.
Functional freeze is a sign that your nervous system is dysregulated.
Your nervous system has two primary modes:
Sympathetic: Your "fight or flight" response, like hitting the gas pedal.
Parasympathetic: Your "rest and digest" mode, like easing off into calm.
You feel both wired and stuck? That’s functional freeze, a state where your sympathetic system (anxiety, racing thoughts) and dorsal vagal system (shutdown, heaviness) activate at the same time.
It’s like flooring the accelerator while the parking brake is on. You’re revved up but going nowhere.
You might feel lazy or inadequate, or others might label you that way. But the truth is, this is a complex nervous system response, not a personal failing. It’s not just about willpower.
You’re not lazy, you just need to experience what safety feels like in your body.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) uses guided eye movements and imagery to reset your nervous system, release paralyzing "stuck" images, and install motivating visuals, rapidly relieving Functional Freeze without self-blame or "lazy" labels.

I am excited to share my new space at Baynes Family Wellness! It's been a whirlwind, and I'm so grateful for all the friends and family who helped and encouraged me. I was offered some time to reflect on it all while being locked in the front entrance this morning. It's so wonderful for the universe to offer up opportunities for reflection and growth 🤣🙌
