Also helping you with anger, anxiety, stress, and making changes in your life.
Welcome. I'm Louise, anxiety counsellor, ADHDer, mum of two kids, one cat and one dog, lover of nature and home reno shows, and recovering stress head. Eight years ago I was in full-on stress mode so I made some changes (some big, some small) then returned to this work I truly have a passion for. I especially love helping women in their 30s and 40s move from stressed, cranky, stuck and overwhelmed, to calm, clear and actually enjoying life, rather than rushing through it on autopilot. That said, I work with adults of all ages and everyone is welcome! What brings people here is usually anxiety, stress, burnout, overwhelm, &/or ADHD.

I’m Jess, and I’m here to create a space where you can just show up as you are, no performance required. As a psychologist, my goal isn't to "fix" you, but to collaborate with you. We’ll get curious about what’s happening in your world and help you get back in alignment with what actually matters to you. I bring a lot of heart, a good dose of humour, and zero judgment to our sessions. I believe therapy works best as an authentic human connection that leaves room for both the heavy stuff and the lighter moments. If you’re feeling a bit anxious about starting, don’t sweat it. We’ll just take it one step at a time.

I especially connect with and enjoy providing support to people who struggle because they are highly-sensitive (hsperson.com), perfectionists, over-thinkers, anxious/worriers, or they have a history of trauma (from childhood, or from adult experiences, such as military service, miscarriage, violent assault, workplace bullying). I enjoy complex presentations, where there may be PTSD, anxiety, attachment issues, perfectionism, where the person's goal is to create an inner peace, fulfilment and live a more contented life. With couples, I can help you learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts and improve your connection.

Hi, I’m Donald. A lot of the people who find their way to me aren’t “falling apart” in obvious ways - they’re functioning, capable, often the ones others rely on - but there’s a persistent sense that something isn’t right. Maybe you can’t find ease in yourself, you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, or you’re tired of managing life while feeling disconnected from it. My work is relational, attachment-informed, and formulation-driven.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
