your life would turn out?

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

Your life is good. Outwardly everything looks fine, but inwardly there’s a sense of unrest. You’ve been feeling overwhelmed with an endless to-do list, confusion about what you’re supposed to be doing and an uncomfortable feeling that there could be more; that it could be better.

The pain, stress, anxiety or sadness you’re feeling is real.

Acknowledging the experiences, situations and relationships that led you here is the first step to healing.

We Can Help.

HELPING YOU LIVE MORE FULLY

Why Choose Fern Creek Psychotherapy?

Hi, I’m Anneliese Mack

OWNER, FERN CREEK PSYCHOTHERAPY

Registered Psychotherapist

I believe we have no control over the circumstances in our lives, but we can choose the meaning we attribute to our experiences.

Through listening and gently exploring your story, together we can build new narratives, full of possibility.

When you are seen and heard, the therapy process will enable and empower you to incorporate your past with your present in a way that permits you to live better.

I believe we can help you see and use your own strengths to start living more fully now and in the future.

These principles guide our team to help you get the results you need.
We are meant to live in joy. This does not mean that life will be easy and painless. It means that we can turn our faces to the wind and accept that this is the storm we must pass through.
– Desmond Tutu

Yes, we offer art therapy for all ages. It is not just for kids and you do not have to be an artist to participate. The Canadian Art Therapy Association explains it as, “Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. Using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate.” If you are seeing a certified art therapist, you will not necessarily always do art. Doing art in therapy is just one of the tools the therapist utilizes when it feels appropriate.

Yes, we have therapists whose area of focus is working with children. When working with children, we ally strongly with the child in an effort to create a strong therapeutic relationship. That relationship helps the child develop feelings of safety and security within the therapeutic setting which enables them to trust in the process.

It is sometimes difficult for parents to accept the limits of confidentiality that are innately embedded in the therapeutic process. Entrusting your child to a stranger can be difficult, but please know we have your child’s best interest at the center of all our interactions, which is something the therapist often has in common with the primary caregivers.
