Your therapist will help you navigate challenging cognitions (deep-rooted negative beliefs and automatic thoughts), emotional pains, and behavioural concerns. This is often referred to as a person's "learned patterns." Sometime what we were exposed to for years (example in childhood) leaves an imprint in the brain known as a schema that was adaptive (helpful) at one point but has become maladaptive (unhelpful) at a later point in life. Working through our schemas and patterns are important for learning about which part of us is authentic vs what parts of us are inauthentic.

Lucie Ritchie Bio Lucie Ritchie is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Heal Psychotherapy. Lucie specializes in trauma, couples’ therapy, and life coaching. In all her therapeutic relationships, she takes a holistic, non-judgemental approach with her clients.

Trauma

Lucie focuses her work with survivors who have experienced identity loss, inauthentic personas, and childhood traumas, to name a few. She aims to heal the brain and the body (nervous system) to renegotiate the impacts of past adversity that could be causing symptoms of PTSD or C-PTSD, including anxiety and depression, in the present. She works with individuals who struggle with authentic self-expression which is often due to prolonged childhood maltreatment.

Therapeutic Approaches

Lucie brings a genuine, caring approach to exploring lifelong patterns through a holistic approach. She combines Schema Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, and the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM) to target all parts of the client. These modalities assist in the exploration of cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes that could be keeping clients stuck in behavioural patterns of the past. These modalities also assist in rebalancing the nervous system to heal the impacts of adversity at the roots.

Lucie operates from an attachment lens and assesses for unconscious patterns to hone-in on the possible areas of concerns.
