Beneath what you feel often lies what you need.
Find it at
Accord Within.
Beneath anxiety, depression, or conflict often lie signals: unmet needs, unexpressed parts of self, and relational patterns waiting to be understood. Accord Within amplifies these signals, offering a relational, psychodynamic, and experiential approach to individual and couples psychotherapy and supervision.
Accord Within
At Accord Within, the therapeutic process isn’t just about quieting symptoms or smoothing the surface. In this space, unconscious cycles come into focus, and change can begin upon understanding and integrating every side of your experience. This is where old stories can loosen, and new possibilities emerge.

Supporting change from the inside out.
Across youth counselling, crisis work, and private practice,
one pattern kept showing up . . .
When asked about their goals, most clients wanted less.
Less anxiety, less overwhelm, less conflict.
Rarely did clients request more:
more connection, more resilience, more life beyond the struggle.
It made me wonder:
What if healing isn't about less but more?
At Accord Within, you’re invited to build a life that goes beyond relief; one filled with deeper connection, clearer insight, greater alignment, and more of what makes you feel truly alive.
Therapy that invites more,
not just less.
Why We Hide Our Feelings
Many of us learn from childhood to keep emotions in check. Messages like “just calm down” or “don’t be dramatic” teach us that showing feelings may not be safe (Fonagy et al., 2002; Kernberg, 2016). Avoiding discomfort feels good for a moment, but it keeps us stuck in old patterns.
What Happens When We Bottle Things Up
Pushed-down emotions don’t disappear. They show up as stress, tension, anxiety, and distance in our relationships (Schwartz, 1995; Freud, 1923; Gross & Levenson, 1997; Miethe et al., 2023). The more we avoid, the harder it is to feel joy, clarity, or connection.
Why Feeling More Leads to Healing
When you gently notice and name your emotions, you reconnect with the experiences that have been pushed aside. Research shows this builds resilience, insight, and stronger relationships (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004; Stanton et al., 2023; Sbarra & Hazan, 2008; Kross et al., 2014).
Experience Real Change
Suppressing emotions keeps life small. You don't just mute your pain, but your joy too. Feeling more, with the right support, unlocks clarity, connection, and a life that is richer than just relief.
