Holistic Psychology Services for Women
In-Person and Online Therapy Options
Therapy at DIVE Healing® is offered through several pathways, depending on your needs, preferences, and readiness. You don’t need to know which option is “right” before you begin, this can be explored together.
All work is delivered by a registered psychologist and grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based care. Each pathway honours the connection between mind, body, and nervous system, and unfolds at a pace that supports safety, integration, and lasting change.
Some women arrive seeking support for a specific concern such as anxiety or burnout. Others simply know that something feels unsettled or disconnected. Both are welcome here.
Individual Psychology Therapy
Trauma-informed psychological therapy offers a space to understand your experiences with depth, compassion, and clinical care. Sessions are collaborative and paced, supporting awareness without overwhelm and change without pressure.
This work may be helpful if you are experiencing:
-
anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or persistent tension
-
relational triggers or conflict in close relationships
-
depression, numbness, or loss of meaning
-
burnout and chronic stress
-
the impact of trauma or difficult early experiences
-
a sense of disconnection from yourself
Therapy draws from evidence-based modalities including EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, somatic and sensorimotor approaches, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapies. These are integrated thoughtfully, guided by your nervous system and readiness.
Integrative Sound Medicine
For women who feel drawn to a more embodied pathway, Integrative Sound Medicine may be woven into longer sessions when clinically appropriate and with informed consent.
These sessions combine psychological therapy with non-verbal, sound-based approaches such as Acutonics® and Biofield Tuning®.
Sound complements verbal work by supporting nervous system regulation and somatic integration. It does not replace psychological therapy - it deepens the body’s participation in healing.
Integrative sessions are often helpful for women who:
-
feel disconnected from their bodies
-
carry tension or stress that feels difficult to access through words alone
-
are navigating trauma or emotional holding patterns
-
want to integrate insight with embodied experience
Online Therapy
Online sessions offer the same trauma-informed psychological care in a flexible format. For many women, telehealth allows therapy to fit into complex lives without sacrificing depth or presence.
Online therapy may be appropriate if you:
-
prefer to access support from home
-
live outside the local area
-
have scheduling or caregiving constraints
-
feel safer beginning therapy in a familiar environment
The therapeutic relationship remains central. Sessions are paced and attuned in the same way as in-person work.
The DIVE Healing® Process
Healing at DIVE Healing® is not linear.
It unfolds as a recursive process guided by safety, awareness, and integration. It's rooted in a unique approach created by our founder, Arissa Brunelli.
While each journey is unique, therapy often moves through these phases:
1. CONNECTION — establishing safety, attunement, and trust
2. SELF-UNDERSTANDING — observing experience without judgement
3. SELF-COMPASSION — softening survival strategies
4. EMBODIMENT — integrating emotional and somatic awareness
5. FREEDOM — living from essence and values rather than coping
These phases are revisited as needed. Slowness and readiness are respected as clinical interventions, not obstacles.
"True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply so that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness.
True belonging doesn't require you to change WHO you are; it requires you to BE who you are"
