Deep Well Therapy

Relational Therapy.

Deep Well Therapy, Calixte Renaud, RP

I draw on relational and feminist psychodynamic therapy that recognizes how our identities, ways of being with others, and experiences of the world are shaped by social forces, systemic oppression, and past wounds. Often, the painful strategies that can keep us feeling disconnected, unworthy, and depressed were once adaptive ways we survived painful moments and relationships. When we come to learn how to be with these painful parts, dare I say befriend these painful parts, we can move closer to ourselves and each other.

In my practice, I strive to offer a validating and non-judgemental space to explore all parts of your story. I start with a firm belief that we are the experts of our own bodies, needs and lives, and so my approach is client-led. I come from an anti-racist, sex diversity positive and affirming, intersectional feminist and class-conscious lens. I am here to be led through the woods of your life and share what I witness when welcomed. And I understand how daunting that can feel.

I`m a Registered Psychotherapist, with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario based in Toronto, Canada and I�m a member of the Ontario Society for Registered Psychotherapists. I studied at The Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), an experiential clinical training program in psychodynamic relational psychotherapy.
