About Will Deroode

During the time where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Carleton University I studied a wide variety of classes which concerned Mental Health, Wellness & Rehabilitation. At Carleton I took a one year Seminar dedicated to Stress, Coping & Well-Being which equipped me with foundational frameworks to understand the effects of stress and many effective stress reduction strategies which I later pursued. While studying Addictions and Criminal Psychology I practiced & developed skills in risk assessment, harm reduction and motivational interviewing techniques which I still use regularly. Finally, I completed a deeper study in Cognitive Psychology on the Benefits of Mindfulness for Depression, Anxiety & ADHD and soon after officially taught Mindfulness at Canada Post’s Head Office for their Corporate Wellness Program. Since completing my University degree I have worked over 4 years administering Sensory Deprivation Therapy to the public and specifically to individuals with Brain Injuries and PTSD. I’ve earned a 200-Hour Yoga Teaching Certificate and completed a Trauma-Sensitive certification with the HeartMath Institute. Currently I offer trauma-informed Yoga and Coaching for mental health, well-being & personal achievement as further my education in psychology. My objective is to collaborate with the individuals and organizations which offer mental health services, rehabilitation and wellness programs for those dealing with Addictions, Stress, ADHD, PTSD, TBI, Anxiety & Depression. I seek to help those in need by sharing my expertise in offering trauma-informed support, coaching, yoga and cutting edge psycho-education.
