I am Michele L. Gardiner, the founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy & Support Services, and a Registered Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.), Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Complex Trauma Professional in Canada. I hold 18 years of professional experience, and a virtual practice that is dedicated to supporting individuals through the sustained recovery from Anxiety, Eating and Trauma Disorders, including PTSD, c-PTSD, Dissociative Disorder (Depersonalization-Derealization), and their impact on identity, self-esteem, and safe, loving relationships – with ourselves and others. As a therapist, I strive to meet you in the spirit of authenticity, collaboration, and nonjudgment by creating a welcoming and inclusive experience that acknowledges and nurtures your natural capacity, strength, and wisdom, and helps you to identify new understandings, hope, and coping skills for living as your best present and future self.
