Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a method of treating depression. IPT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on you and your relationships with other people. It's based on the idea that personal relationships are at the center of psychological problems. Depression isn't always caused by an event or a relationship.

Tristan is such a kind, experienced, accepting and transparent psychologist. I have been to many therapists over the years and yet still felt stuck and that I couldn’t move forward with my life. However, with Tristan I felt from the very start that he genuinely cared about my wellbeing and simply just wanted to help no matter how challenging things seemed to be. I always feel I can be myself and that there is no need to hide how I feel.

I have been coming to see Tristan over the past few months & I have found him to be kind, compassionate, & understanding. He is also very professional & an active listener who follows the conversation well & responds thoughtfully & in a considerate way.
I would recommend Tristan to anyone who feels they could benefit from speaking with a good listener, & put simply, a genuine & decent person.
