“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
— Audre Lorde
Our therapy blends:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Shift unhelpful thought patterns.
DBT & ACT: Build skills for emotional balance and acceptance.
Trauma-Informed Care: Safety, choice, and empowerment always come first.
Nature-Inspired Practices: Grounding with plants, mindfulness, and natural cycles to reconnect mind and body.
Sessions are virtual, starting at 50 minutes, and tailored to your goals. Frequency can be weekly, biweekly, or flexible depending on your needs.
We believe in a team-based approach. With our PPPD clients, while we don’t provide vestibular rehab directly, we collaborate with physiotherapists, family physicians, and other specialists. If medication is part of your care, we’ll support you in advocating with your doctor and managing the process.
Hi, I’m Edna, a Registered Nurse Psychotherapist and the founder of Balens Therapy. I combine clinical expertise with compassion, creativity, and my own lived experience with ADHD. And yes, I bring my love of plants into therapy—because healing feels easier when we stay grounded. 🌱
You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, Balens Therapy is here to help you move from coping → to feeling steady, safe, and empowered again.
