EMDR Basic Training Membership
Huron Rose Counselling
My name is Amy. My journey to becoming a grief and trauma therapist is long rooted (25+ years). In 2008, I founded Recreational Respite a national organization that uniquely supports the disability and neurodiverse community, those who face mental health struggles and other vulnerable individuals. The goal of the work is to support those facing barriers to participation by collaboratively finding ways to reduce the isolation that often accompanies these experiences. Using diverse strategies and approaches, including self discovery through recreation and activity with an emphasis on building social supports, is often helpful to build a strong sense of self. This experience has contributed to my deep understanding, interventions and innovative approaches used in counselling with the compassion for navigating the emotions of grief, the experience of ‘othering’ and the complex relational challenges within families, while emphasizing a non-pathologizing practice. My approach in counselling emphasizes integration of various theories and interventions based on an individual’s strengths, experience and resources. As a passionate advocate for disability rights and throughout my role as Founder of Recreational Respite (est.2008), my approach has always been to create a non-pathologizing, safe and non-judgemental space for any individual. My deep understanding of the neurodiverse community, barriers, navigating challenges of an individuals experience in life and or complex relational challenges within families, has contributed to the development of a neuroaffirming practice. Neurodiversity is simply, a different way in which we experience the world, with neurological differences. How then, the brain might respond or function differently. Therefore, those experiences and interactions can be quite diverse. Neurodiversity includes autism, ADHD, sensory processing issues, cPTSD or anxiety. A medical diagnosis is not required.
