My name is Louise Van Arnam and I have been a member of the Olds community for the past 5 years and I am a mother of 3 children, 2 who have left home, and my youngest, a preteen who attends school here in our community.
My education includes:
*Clinical Hypnotherapy – ARCH Canada certified and registered.
*NLP Master Practitioner – NFNLP Registered.
*Trauma informed Client Care – level 1 & 2
I have 2 areas of focus for my practice, the first being Traumatic Stress and PTSD in men, and the second being the stress and anxiety with our youth.
Men still struggle with the stigma of mental health and seeking any sort of help or assistance in dealing with the stresses of day to day life. Men have been programmed from such a young age to be machines and to suppress feelings and emotions, big boys don’t cry right!!
Things like divorce, financial set back, grief, loss, stress or depression all affect men in different ways and hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool to help men navigate through these tough times. The reason Hypnotherapy works so well for men, is that you don’t have to talk about “stuff”, all you need is the willingness to want to change things.
Our youth and young adults today are overwhelmed with stress and confusion. If its not enough that they are trying to understand the changes going on within their bodies, they are trying to cope with:
Bullying, self esteem, changes in life, loss, grief, divorce, social interactions, cyber bullying, access to substances, all while trying to maintain school grades and focus on their future. It no wonder why substance addictions, cutting, or even suicide is on the rise with our youth.
I offer a complimentary consultation with all clients so that we, together, can discuss the type of service I could provide for you. During this consultation we would identify how many sessions would be required and the payment options associated with this service.
Please know that my services would require a commitment on a minimum 3 – 4 sessions, I do not see clients for just 1 session, unless circumstances are discussed prior to an intake.
