Bailey Tonn

I genuinely care and am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families find wholeness, reconnection, restoration, and resilience. I am grateful for the privilege that comes with being let into one's hidden inner world, memories, and experience, and aim to utilize one's story to help build a more meaningful, congruent, and hopeful life narrative. 

 

I recognize that navigating personal struggles or relational difficulties can often feel overwhelming, especially when these dilemmas are held internally. Bottling up distress and hoping it will subside might seem like a good option, but doing so can often lead to symptoms worsening. This occurs as neural pathways become reinforced, contributing to negative coping patterns, unmet needs, and a decline in overall well-being. Therapy offers an open space to bring things to light, and through exploration and genuine connection, find healing and personal growth.

Framework

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, utilizing theories such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems, and Bowen Family Systems as frameworks to help me understand one's attachment patterns, emotional experience, relationships, and behaviours. I believe that by exploring and processing the impact of emotions, individuals can address the unresolved emotional experiences that often drive negative patterns in relationships and personal well-being. My approach focuses on identifying and transforming these emotional responses, bolstering secure connections and promoting healing at both an emotional and relational level.
