Heal. Grow. Emerge.
Burnt Out? Stuck?
Therapy for when you're feeling stuck.
Being human is hard. Feeling stuck, sad, scared, stressed and not sure why? This is very common and so is the desire to feel better and move forward. I can work with you to find answers that will move you through the stuck place and allow you heal, grow and emerge into a new experience.
Hi, I'm Leanne Rutledge, MSW, RSW

What I know for sure is that the desire for healing is common and yet each story is unique. It requires a keen ear and a truly interested heart to find your unique path to wellness. I would be honoured to hear your story.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Trauma is an event that overwhelms coping mechanisms due to its deeply distressing nature, resulting in ongoing negative symptoms. Trauma can result from one event, such as a car accident or assault or from ongoing events such as childhood abuse.
To address trauma, I use a process called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. As noted on their website,
"Accelerated Resolution Therapy works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing images and memories are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions."

HeartMath
HeartMath tools are perfect for use before, during and after stressful events, but also as a way to intervene in long-term chronic stress. HeartMath offers simple yet profound processes to address stress symptoms and increase the ability to respond to stress.

Mindfulness and Somatic Therapies
Mindfulness allows for an increased experience of the present moment, and provides skills for understanding ourselves and others. Mindfulness assists in tuning into the body, nervous system and different emotional states to understand how they are impacted and influenced by past and current experiences.
The right fit is important in therapy. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to make sure we're a good fit and it feels right for you.
