Julie Christiansen Counselling & Psychotherapy

Julie Christiansen Counselling & Psychotherapy We offer Individual, Couples and Family psychotherapy services for residents of the Niagara region.

Virtual Counselling Services: Anger, Stress, Post-Trauma, Relationships, Bullying

Life is not always easy, and it certainly is not always predictable. Challenges and crises often come when we least expect them, and many times we can get knocked off our feet by unexpected events and the emotional responses that accompany them. In times like these, it helps to know there is someone willing to lend an ear, to listen without judgement, and to offer time-proven strategies to help you cope with or solve your problems. Julie and her associates provide general counselling and psychotherapy services under the supervision of registered psychologists who are licensed with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Individual and Group counselling is available for residents of Hamilton-Niagara.

I learned yesterday that Spa for the Soul won the categories of Best Mental Health Service and Best Individual, Marriage, and Family Counselling for Niagara and we are so humbled and honoured. Thank you to everyone who voted and to our clients who are the reason we do what we do. From the bottom of our hearts, and

Holidays bring expectations - joy, connection, and celebration- but they can also trigger grief, anxiety, and loneliness.

That's why I created the E-Book, "Handling Grief Around the Holidays: a practical guide to help you cope before, during, and after".

You may be missing someone this holiday season, and you're not alone. This guide will share strategies to get you through when someone has passed away, whe dealing with a breakup, if you're alone for the holidays, or if you're an empty nester.

Go to the link in our bio to request your free e-book today. Courtesy of Spa for the Soul.

We've got you.

Anger is not the problem. Suppression is.
Most people were taught to fear or silence their anger. At Spa for the Soul, we teach you how to understand it - and master it.

Try our unique program, built on real life processes for resolving anger, not just coping tools.

Just today, a client said she despaired for over a year because she couldn't find a Spanish-speaking therapist. Then she found Spa for the Soul. Our clinic prides itself in being a culturally competent, diverse, and trauma-informed practice. Our amazing associate, Norelis Alvarez provides service in Spanish, Portuguese, and English! She is the only therapist in Niagara who provides service in the first two languages mentioned.

If you would feel more comfortable speaking with a therapist fluent in your first language of Spanigh or Portuguese, drop a comment or send us a DM. We are happy to serve you!

I exited a client today.
It was obvious from the moment I saw her in the waiting room...
We were done.
It was the straightness of her spine.
The light in her eyes.
The smile on her face.

Saying goodbye to a client who has achieved her goals in therapy is an amazing moment.
Knowing that I played a role in helping her wade through grief and anxiety thrills me to the core.

This is why I so what I do. And this is why I always say my goal as a therapist is to work myself out of a job.

When a client no longer needs my services as a therapist - that is a sign of a job well done. That is what I work for - every single time.

Did you know that you can access Anger Solutions counselling at Spa for the Soul? Julie wrote the book on anger, and has been delivering this program for over 30 years. Norelis is also certified in Anger Solutions, and provides the service in English and Spanish (Spanish workbooks available).
If you struggle with emotional dysregulation or you've been told by friends, family, or the law that you need to do something about your "anger issues", come see us!
The first thing we'll do is let you in on a little secret: You don't have "anger issues" or "anger problems". You have problems that make you angry.
We'll teach you how to identify the problem, share your feelings and your needs with others in an assertive, safe way, and we'll even show you what to do once you have done your best to solve the problem and you still have some angry energy left over.
Give us a call today to get started!
