Welcome to my website
About me
You might have found me because you are looking for a Registered Social Worker / Psychotherapist. Maybe you are looking for information about Integrative Therapeutic Writing or for consultation on its use. You are in the right place.
My business has changed a bit. In March 2021, I suffered a cardiac event that had me re-examining my values and prioritize my healing. As a result my work life has also shifted. See list below.
If you have any questions about any of the services I offer, don't hesitate to contact me via the form on this page.
Though this web address has changed you will still be able to find me at www.dimadupere.com - but if you want an easier way to find me, you can use joythisway.org, joythisway.net, joytthisway.info or joythisway.ca.
If you need immediate help call 911.
I also have many useful resources on the Resources page.
Services
Counselling /Psychotherapy
Due to the changes in my life, I only see clients on a part time basis. When I have space, I accept clients who wish to be active participants in their own healing process and who have an interest in the approaches I use: therapeutic writing, ego state (parts work), psychoeducation, learning strategies for anxiety and emotional regulation and mindfulness. If you think we would be a good fit, don't hesitate to contact me.
Online courses
I am launching an online course for psychotherapists, social workers and other mental health workers on the use of Integrative Therapeutic Writing. The first course will be in French and launching on Dec 15, 2023. It is my hope to launch in English by mid 2024.
You can visit the landing page of the various offers (other training, mini-courses offered to everyone, workshops, pdf documents etc). For the French Training info visit Écriture thérapeutique intégrative.
