Welcome to ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy
Welcome to Elemental Psychotherapy
I am Michele Gardiner, founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Master's Level Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.) in good standing with the CCPA and 17 years of experience providing Outpatient treatment services to individuals and groups for Anxiety Disorders, Trauma Disorders, and Co-occurring Mental Health Challenges:
I provide compassionate, professional, person-centred virtual therapy across Canada in select provinces bridging 17 years of experience with extensive training and certifications in my areas of practice and use of evidence-based approaches such as
CBT, DBT, EMDR-Flash Technique, IFS (Parts Work), and Motivational Interviewing, with Mindfulness-based therapies augmented by
Expressive Arts, Nature, and Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Therapies to support you in a safe, well-paced and shared experience.
As a Humanistic therapist, I meet you in the spirit of collaboration and nonjudgement to create a warm, authentic and inclusive experience that nurtures your inner strengths and wisdom and helps you identify new hopes, awareness, and understanding while developing the tools and coping skills that support ongoing resiliency and align with your values and goals for change.
Honouring you as a strong, resilient, and wise individual is a core principle reflected at ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy through the perspective that,
as human beings, our unique thoughts, feelings, values and experiences provide us with an inner knowing - a wisdom that is both empowering and elemental to our survival, growth and capacity for creating change throughout life.
A Free Consultation
I offer a Free 15-minute Phone Consultation.
The Consultation allows you to confirm that my style and approach are a fit for you, and for me to verify that my skill set can support you.
Following our Phone Consultation we can move forward to booking a session.
Inter-provincial Virtual/Teletherapy sessions are provided in several provinces across Canada to individuals aged 19 and over.
Self-referrals and Professional referrals are accepted.
Health Insurance Providers
I am a Registered Service Provider with several health insurers.
Blue Cross/Medavie, Green Shield Canada, Lumina Health, SunLife, Optima Global Health, the Metis Association of BC, and others.
To prevent financial strain or disappointment, always confirm coverage with your provider before starting counselling.
Because counselling is an investment in yourself now and in the future, feel free to explore the 'Stages of Change ' model to discover your readiness and the next steps for creating that change. Or, explore a wealth information and supports on the Resources page,
or learn more about me on the Therapist's page.
If you are ready to begin creating the growth you desire, I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about
how I can support you towards achieving more peace, joy and freedom in life.
