intuitive counselling & wellness (CICAW)


About

Do you ever feel like your life is a collection of fragmented parts- torn between who you are and who you feel you are meant to become? Many of us experience a sense of being stuck or disconnected from our deeper purpose.
Hello and welcome! My name is Tara Callander (MEd, BSW, BA, RSW, RCC), and I offer a unique blend of intuitive energy work and a form of Transpersonal psychotherapy often called 'psychology with a soul'. While traditional therapy focuses solely on fixing what is broken, my work invites you to explore your untapped potential and reconnecting you to your intuition, your highest self, your soulful nature.
​
With 30+ years of post-secondary education, ongoing specialized training, professional and personal experiences, I have learned that a holistic approach is the only way to understand and integrate the complexities that life offers us. Every session is unique to the energy you are moving through and may benefit from different modalities of intervention. One session may be purely an energetic reading of what is influencing your feelings, or answering questions that you may be having with respect to dreams, signs, symbols, and synchronicities that are demanding your attention. Other sessions may focus on a specific issues that are best supported through traditional talk therapy modalities, or possibily, a group of EMDR sessions to reroute trauma in the brain. Regardless of the situation you are experiencing, you can trust that there is an individualized path to relief available to you.

Experience
I am thankful to have over 30 years of personal and professional experience supporting individuals on their unique journeys of healing and self-discovery.. As a trauma-informed energy interpreter and intuitive guide, my goal is to assist you in seeing yourself and your world from a higher perspective, enabling you to uncover who you are at a soulful level and, in turn, find the relief you are seeking.
Two decades of work within the correctional system in Canada, and countless training/certifications, reinforced my belief that authentic connection to our soulful self heals, and that disconnection is the root of all our problems. Recognizing this as a pattern that repeated in every single case, was concerning when superficial, one-size fits all treatment often replaces the need for deeper, meaningful honest conversations. There is a learned discomfort in being vulnerable, especially if you do not fit the standard of what is socially acceptable.
​
The need for more expansive conversations to include the soulful and interconnected nature of humanity is widespread and what has spurred my ongoing curiousity of how to support people to live in alignment with their true purpose by utilizing their innate gifts. Speaking openly about humanity as energetic beings shifts us away from rigid and restrictive behavioural expectations and into our new reality of limitless potential.
