Brandy Weaver

Do you struggle with emotion dysregulation, traumatic memories/experiences, grief, phobias, or overwhelming anxiety and mood fluctuations? Do you need to increase your distress tolerance skills, or improve your interpersonal skills? Does your experience with chronic invalidation result in distrust of others? Have you resorted to maladaptive coping strategies (substance use, self-harming behaviours, angry outbursts) to get through the day? Do symptoms of serious mental illness interfere with your quality of life? Or do you need to focus on identifying your values, and priorities, and improving self-care?

I can help you learn to effectively cope with stress, regulate emotions, manage anxiety, resolve anger, and improve relationships. I can help you process traumatic events/memories via the least intrusive, evidence-based methods (Flash and EMDR). I have extensive training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and addictions. Together, we can develop a treatment plan consisting of one or more therapeutic modalities to meet your needs in a safe, inclusive, judgment-free space. Take the first step in prioritizing your well-being – reach out for a free consultation to discuss how I can help you live your best life.

I offer extended DBT sessions. The first 30 minutes focus on skill acquisition, the remainder adheres to standard DBT protocols including diary card use and agenda setting focused on (Linehan’s) treatment hierarchy. Participants will be involved in completing behavioural chains and missing links analysis to develop an awareness of maladaptive behaviour patterns, then learn solution analysis and problem-solving skills to resolve them.

Please reach out if you feel that Brandy is a good fit for your needs.
