Phyllis Saadon, MA, RP, Thornhill, ON

I am a Psychotherapist working with adults, specializing in problems with anxiety, trauma, grief, neglect, and relationship issues.

My main focus is integrating mind and body - integrating how our emotions are thought about and how they affect us physically.

For example, if you get triggered emotionally by an old experience, or a current one, we talk about it, but also notice how it affects you physically, (i.e., chest tension, rapid heart rate, nausea). I use mindfulness and body awareness as part of the process and help you to respond differently to the issues and physical sensations. The focus is understanding and change. I use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR techniques which produce profound and positive changes for my clients.
