DR. DENNIS BROWN

I have been a Registered Psychologist for more than 25 years and a Certified Hakomi Therapist for the past five years. I have provided a variety of services to individuals, couples, and families during these years, ranging from one-session, one-person consultations to multiple sessions with two or more people involving consultation, coaching, or therapy. I am particularly interested in helping people during those often unwanted times of change and life transition that we all experience. Whether it is an individual, marital, family, or work group problem, I believe that no crisis should be wasted and that the challenge is, to use the old cliché, how to transform lemons life throws at us into lemonade. To put it another way, the challenge is to find a way that doesn’t leave us bitter, but instead enables us to enjoy the sweetness of life or at least better able to tolerate the bitter-sweetness of life. This often means learning how to make sense of the difficult, painful, sometimes overwhelming emotions that accompany unwanted change and learning how to develop more useful perspectives that help us to cope effectively or even thrive in our new situation.

PAMELA THOMPSON, M.A., Registered Psychologist

Pamela has a number of years experience working with individuals and families. Her work has included a year and a half volunteer position in the Philippines, working with women and children who were victims of violence and advocating for the rights of those who were being exploited.  Pamela continues to focus her practice on helping individuals overcome what can sometimes feel like isolating and overwhelming challenges.

Pamela writes “the Hakomi principles work well both in my work with adults
and adolescents. What I find particularly appealing is that these principles
challenge me to first be better at being human then to see and hold what
is well and wanting to flourish in others regardless of their situations.”
