Trish Leptick

As a Somatic Psychotherapist, Trish Leptick, BA, RTC, SEP has expertise in both the language of the body (Somatic) and the language of the mind (Psychotherapy) bringing a powerful combination of skills. After receiving her degree from Simon Fraser University and the University of Toronto, Trish completed her training in Psychology with designations as a Registered Therapeutic Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

Trish's therapeutic approach is based on the belief that we all deserve and have the full capacity to live life to the fullest. Sometimes we need a little support to get back into balance and well being so that we can discover our full potential and live it. If you are in emotional or physical pain, you have the ability to heal. Healing is something we can't always do alone. We can be stuck in a cycle of depression and/or anxiety or just 'not feeling' and not understand why or realize how deeply it is stealing our energy. This can even lead to chronic pain that has no structural cause. Trish will help you discover the patterns in your life that may actually be hurting you, by looking at the beliefs that drive them and opening a new place for choice and relief, rather than reacting out of an old pattern. Often we read self help books and while we may “get it” intellectually, why does this knowledge not always transfer into the change in our lives that we so want? Because the language of the unconscious does not always react out of a place of reason. In fact, the key to our reactions is often found in our sensations. Sensations occur before thought, yet we often over ride them, as we have been taught to go with our intellect. More than standard talk therapy, with Somatic Experiencing, Trish can help you discover how an experience or loss in your life may have your unconscious mind still reacting to it, rather than moving on in health and well being. This can then unlock the old pattern, creating space for resilience and vibrance. Trish's passion is helping you discover and heal the deeper blocks that are keeping you from stepping into the joy and passion of life.
