Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
Welcome, not as you should be. Just as you are. Right here, right now, today.
We live in a time where there is no shortage of information, especially information that comes as advice on how to live our best lives or be the best us. It's right there, at our fingertips. Yet, with all the inundated counsel offered, we sometimes find ourselves stuck, struggling to break free from the patterns that overwhelm us, not knowing where to start or how to change.
If you find yourself stuck, you are not alone.
Hi, my name is Ivy Thomas, and I'm an Associate Licensed Professional Counselor.
I have the privilege of assisting people from various walks of life, navigating through a range of issues, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, identity and self-esteem, confidence, spirituality and life transitions, to name a few. I bring a holistic approach to my work with clients, including working with the mind, body, emotions, spirituality, family, and relationships. My approach to therapy has also been influenced by the different cultures in which I have had the opportunity to practise therapy. Raised in the South Asian culture and having lived in the Middle East, New Zealand, and North America, my approach to therapy is based on practical real-life experience and a pragmatic style of listening without judgment. I also practise faith-based counseling and can include it based on clients' preferences.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy being with my husband and two children, traveling, quality time with friends, and good conversations.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and humility to take the first steps towards the desired change. I applaud your willingness to take those next steps, and my hope for you is to thrive in life again.
