Hi, my name is Rachel Koetsier and I am thrilled to be joining the team at Revive Psychotherapy and Counselling to serve the residents of St. Thomas and surrounding area. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. I graduated from Tyndale Seminary with a Masters of Divinity and Clinical Counselling. I have specialized training in Narrative The...rapy, and the Narrative Enneagram. I am strongly influenced by attachment theory, and family systems theory and take time to understand how you fit into your family of origin. I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of challenges including grief and loss, relationship conflict, parenting struggles, depression, anxiety, abuse, everyday stress, life transitions and concerns related to self-worth. I use a number of different evidence based techniques in my practise to help you achieve your goals for emotional and psychological well-being. One of the key factors that contribute to success in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. This is why I take the time to build a strong therapeutic relationship with each client and couple. If you are wondering if therapy is the next step for you on your journey, please feel free to contact us. See more

Hi, My name is Tanya Rock. I graduated from Liberty University in 2010 with a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Following my graduation, I worked in public health on various projects before opening my practice in 2012. In 2017, I began taking courses with the Somatic Experiencing (SE) Trauma Institute. I completed my courses there this past February. As a therapeutic modality, SE encompasses both the mental and physical responses to trauma that affect the autonom...ic nervous system (the system that creates fight, flight, freeze responses). I am passionate about finding symptom relief for individuals suffering from the affects of trauma in their lives. I am a pre-clinical fellow with the Ontario Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. In January I had the pleasure of joining my practice with Rachel and Cherie. We are very excited to bring Revive to St. Thomas. One more thing........ yesterday amid the challenges of a pandemic, I got an email that I have been accepted to the PhD program at Wilfred Laurier University beginning September 2020. I feel very privileged to continue my education once again. Thanks for reading! See more
