Deb Mooney BSW, RSW, SEP

I, Deb Mooney,  am a Registered Social Worker and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and founded my practice in 2016.  I continue to advance my learning with Somatic Experiencing ®, having completed training EOTN 1 and 2  (working with near death experiences and anesthetic states) as well as Essential Strategies for Healing Sexual Trauma.  

I help people safely step out of chronic survival and move into  more ease , connection and simplicity.  If you are living with complex trauma (C-PTSD), burnout or heavy compassion fatigue. You need to hear this: You are not broken. You are exhausted. 

Many people come to my space because they want to "fix" themselves. You might have read the self-help books, tried the weekend nervous system reset, tried traditional therapy or EMDR - but your body continues to react with sudden panic, debilitating numbness or overwhelm, or find yourself forever stuck in a protective bracing.  

Trauma , chronic stress and exhaustion don't live in your logical brain. They live in your body, your muscles, fascia and organs. 

 As a RSW and SEP, I bridge the gap between traditional mental health support and body based healing. 

I founded Simplicity Counselling Services because I believe the path to healing shouldn't be complicated, overwhelming or have you working hard.  Standard therapy focuses on the "story" of what happened to you, which is a top down approach. Somatic Experiencing is a bottom up approach. Together we work together with your nervous system in a manner that promotes a sense of safety. It is non-judgmental and works with your physiological fight, flight, freeze and appease responses and patterns that protected you in the past but are getting in the way of your life in the present.   Your capacity (window of tolerance) and resilience will expand and allow you to navigate life's challenges without the crashing into total collapse. 

I intentionally host my practice from a quiet, private home office in Warman. I know how exhausting it can be  to sit in a busy multi-disciplinary waiting room when you are already feeling vulnerable.  My space is designed to be a discreet, calming sanctuary where you can step away from the noise of the world, put down the heavy burden you carry for everyone else and, finally focus on yourself. 

Whether you are a healthcare worker, or social worker dealing with compassion fatigue, professional pushing through everyday with chronic burnout, or a survivor of complex trauma, you don't have to carry this alone anymore. 

Your insurance-reimbursable sessions are available near you, in Warman, and virtually throughout Saskatchewan.

 When you are ready to simplify your healing journey, I am here.
