Omer Mendelson

I believe that we all tell stories about ourselves, and we have stories told about ourselves. Therapy is our time for us to learn to expand these stories, and create new possibilities for our lives. Our own past hurts can challenge our relationships and impede our sense of well-being. While our past relationships can hold many hurts, we can also find healing in our relationships through our time in therapy. Understanding the narratives that have shaped our lives, we also find our way to reconsider, revise and re-write the stories of our future. There are no perfect parents, but there are so may ways to be a good one. As a parent myself, I believe we are all parents in progress, and I bring a warm, caring, insightful approach, using humour and heart to help my clients find satisfying and meaningful relationships. Sometimes making the call for therapy takes the most effort. It can be scary, and asking for help when you are struggling is often the hardest thing we can do, and yet it is the most courageous. Supporting parents and helping families manage these challenges is a passion of mine, and I bring an encouraging, honest and sense of humour to my work with children, parents and families. I also offer supervision for clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of their clients, and improve and strengthen the clinical connections made with our clients.
