Beth Bellamy completed her Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. With fifteen years’ experience in youth mentorship and a background of teaching middle school, Beth works with youth (age 10+) and young adults looking for support with depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, grieving, family conflict, emotion regulation, sexual identity, and developing holistic (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) wellbeing and personal balance. She believes that understanding one's cultural identity and the unique mini-culture in one’s own family is a key part to finding the meaning in the difficult events of the world around us. Beth’s passion is to help individuals cultivate holistic wellness, develop their own circles of authentic support, and find healing from the thousands of “little hurts” that can hold us back. She draws from several different ideologies including attachment theory, Gestalt therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, existential theory, Jungian analysis, and Observed & Experiential Integration (OEI Trauma Therapy).
1 Hour Session: $130.00
