ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Real Support, Real Transformation

You don’t have to face motherhood’s challenges or relationship struggles on your own.

Are you a Mom feeling anxious & overwhelmed and do not know where to start on your journey towards healing?

Your trying to go to therapy to talk things through & feel as though talking isn’t working.

You’ve tried couples therapy before, but you still feel stuck in repetitive arguments and conflicts.

It feels like you’ve tried everything that you know how to do but nothing has worked….

Hi, I am Sowania Germain

I have also struggled with learning how to balance it all. Through inner healing and continued self work, I gained the necessary tools needed to identify my needs & communicate them effectively with others. In 2011, I was faced with a traumatic birth experience. My partner and I felt alone and unsupported as new parents through it all.

This experience has shaped me personally & professionally which has then led me to the work I do today. As a therapist I have pursued and gained the additional training needed to support my clients & go beyond the limitations of traditional talk therapy ..

I get it because I am a Mom …

I am here to help you get unstuck.

Clients describe me as both empathetic and encouraging.

I am always validating of your experiences and how they’ve impacted you. I am also comfortable with seemingly “difficult ” topics — such as generational trauma, childhood wounds and its impact on how we show up within our lives — while also welcoming the humor and joy that often arises on the journey to self-discovery.

As your counselor, I’m also invested in my own growth. I don’t believe in asking my clients to go anywhere I have not gone myself, because I know how hard it can be to really commit to the therapeutic process. Fortunately, I also know that it’s worth it: that the hard work of counseling can result in true life change.
