concerns
As a practice, New Dimensions strives to work from a trauma-informed and social-justice framework and is sensitive to issues of diversity and privilege.
This is a non exhaustive list of concerns that I work with. You do not need to ‘fit’ into one of these to seek services. Additionally, you may also find yourself identifying with a combination of these. I aim to honor the uniqueness of your individuality, your experiences and your narrative.

Note: As a counsellor, I do not promote the attachment of labels for mental health concerns. This list has been created to help you identify any concerns or vulnerabilities for which you may be seeking therapy. Self diagnosis can increase anxiety and be harmful. As your counsellor I will communicate with you, if I believe that testing, assessment and additional psychiatric support will be helpful. Support and appropriate referrals for the same will be provided.
