I believe each individual has the capacity and power to understand why different aspects of life have become challenging, and sometimes unmanageable. We all experience a variety of issues, obstacles, and challenges throughout different phases in our lives. Through the therapeutic process, it is my hope and intention to help individuals, who are facing challenges, find ways to make lasting change in their lives while creating a deeper understanding of their own strengths and experiences.

Each one of us is connected to others through relationships - the vitality of these bonds is crucial for our well being. Yet, relating to others may at times seem like trying to crack a secret code. Do you struggle to have your needs met? Your voice heard? Or maybe you just want to be better understood by others? I believe learning to get what you need from others and from life is a process that starts with ourselves. I will be with you as we challenge the obstacles and bring decisions into line with your values.

I specialize in counselling for the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent people, and those with BPD - often self-identified oddballs, weirdos, and outsiders with big feelings. I love working with highly sensitive people; those who have been told they are "too much" and experience the world with intensity. Many of my clients struggle with feeling empty, numb, and disconnected one minute, and in excruciating emotional pain the next, as if they're on a rollercoaster that they can't get off and no one around them understands. It can be incredibly isolating, leaving them feeling disconnected from community and struggling in relationships.

My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. I emphasize the importance of a strong, compassionate therapeutic relationship and work primarily from a trauma informed, client-centered model. I incorporate elements of emotion focused, narrative, dialectical behavioural, internal family systems, parts work, attachment, strengths/resiliency based, and somatic approaches. I primarily work from a process oriented place by working on issues brought up in the moment and spending time breaking down the beliefs, emotions, and behaviours that accompany each issue.

I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which allows me to delve deep into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional distress. However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work. Additionally, I draw on a range of other therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to meet the unique needs of each client.

People often have creative ways of distancing themselves from uncomfortable and painful emotions and experiences. You might find yourself coping by burying them away, keeping yourself endlessly busy and distracted, or saying, I’m okay, I’m just fine. But as these unprocessed things build, you may have an unsettled or anxious feeling, feel that you are not yourself, or experience emotional explosions that confuse or overwhelm yourself or others. You may come to a place where you feel helpless, trapped, or depressed.

One of my clients described the process of therapy "like finally turning the lights on in a room that had been dark." It takes courage to seek counselling. It means committing to letting ourselves see, feel, and start to heal what we are no longer willing to keep dark. The joy in my work comes from helping people 'turn the lights on,' and witnessing what happens when they do.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Anat and I am a registered social worker and a clinical counsellor. I believe in a client-centered and compassionate approach to healing that positions a client’s worldview, culture and social location as important parts of who they are. I have a background in mental health and addictions, and have supported people as they work towards healing and balance in the midst of various life challenges, including: young adulthood, life transitions, family conflict, sense of purposelessness/hopelessness, challenges in post-secondary education, and parenting a child with mental illness and addiction.

Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. Many people I work with feel flooded by emotions like guilt, shame, or fear — or sometimes struggle to feel anything at all, feeling detached from themselves and those around them. Traumatic memories don’t always stay in the past. Triggers can bring back emotions, images, and beliefs so vividly that it feels like the event is happening all over again, leaving you with a persistent sense of danger or distrust.

Are you struggling with your mental health? Are issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or addictive behavior causing you to feel stuck in patterns of thinking and doing that may no longer be serving you? Are you in search of a respectful, affirming, and empathic space for you to safely explore your emotions, beliefs, experiences, relationships, and the issues that are presenting challenges in your life?

My career in the realm of psychotherapy started with a few goals which are now the roots of my practice: I want clients to feel safe getting vulnerable. I want you to have freedom navigating complex & highly emotional situations, in a non- judgemental space. I want to help you find strength, humour and resiliency, even in the most uncertain of times. In the very least, we'll have a good chat and maybe you leave with a different perspective. I have developed a skillset for tackling tough issues around stress, trauma and attachment, relationships, anger, anxiety, depression and substance use.

First of all, I wanted to say thank you. Looking for a therapist, for yourself or for someone close to you, requires energy and courage. Whether you are experiencing a particularly difficult or different situation recently or for a long time, whether you are in a deeper and more latent reflection, therapy is an answer to those aches and thoughts that fill and overwhelm you. Respecting yourself by offering you the possibility to feel better is, to my opinion, the most important step you are going to take for you. I propose therapy in English and French.
