Therapists in K2H

I view my role as a therapist to be that of a passenger, providing you with guidance and support throughout your personal journey. I aim to provide a safe space where you feel valued, honoured, and respected, putting forth empathy and a non-judgemental attitude through every step of the way. Together we will uncover the strengths you already possess, discover new tools, and help you apply them to your own everyday life.

I accompany clients from a place of compassion, creativity, warmth, and humour as they move from the wounds of interpersonal, systemic, and intergenerational trauma (e.g., neglect, identity-based violence, childhood or intimate partner violence, premature death) towards fulfilling lives rooted in posttraumatic growth. In addition to working with clients who have experienced trauma and its related effects, I also work with clients who identify as experiencing stress (including anxiety disorders), sadness or depression, persistent guilt and shame, life transitions, grief, and existential questions related to life purpose and identity.

Do you struggle with anxiety or trauma that affects your day-to-day life? Do you often feel overwhelmed just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life should feel less exhausting? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to navigate life stressors and overcome traumatic incidents. Not addressing these challenges and just pushing through them can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and a less fulfilling life. I believe that life shouldn’t be so hard and that there is hope for a happier future. I work with you to create a treatment plans to help you achieve you personal goals.

I am a social worker who believes in the power of persons and peoples: I work with clients to create opportunities for healing and growth. I have a varied background including crisis intervention, addictions recovery, women's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, Parts work and Somatic Experiencing. I understand the importance of melding mindfulness techniques with talk therapy. In practice, I work to combine a solid knowledge of the roots of trauma while providing a safe and welcoming environment, creatively combining these aspects of care to customise healing journeys in partnership with clients.

Hi! I’m Morgan (she/they). I aim to act not as an expert or person with all of the answers, but as a collaborative guide on your personal journey. I have a special place in my heart for working alongside adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I support people in creating more compassion for themselves, connecting to their feelings and values, and empowering themselves along their healing journeys.

During times of stress our experiences can seem confusing and overwhelming. Having a safe space to express our thoughts out loud helps bring clarity to our experience. Whether you are working through a current stressor or an older wound, identifying your thoughts and feelings helps you understand your unmet needs. I work with clients to identify longstanding automatic attachment patterns that may be maintaining beliefs and reactions that are no longer helpful and that are getting in the way of attaining fulfillment.

Welcoming New Clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for a counselor who has compassion without judgement? I counsel from a strengths-based framework, working with clients to embrace coping strategies to achieve their goals in health and happiness. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in narrative therapy, family systems and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue. I believe that people who access counselling are at a place in their lives where they have identified wanting to be in control of their future selves. I'm looking forward to hearing from you so that we can start down that road together.

As a neurodivergent practitioner, I have personal experience with the myriad of issues that can come from living on the autism spectrum. Whether it's intense emotions, spiritual/death anxiety, social anxiety, picky eating, sensory issues, or identity confusion, we can work through it together. Even if you are not living with a disorder, but still identify with one of these issues, I am happy to support you. :)

The tightness in your chest, knots in your stomach and the stories your mind tells you have been getting out of hand lately. Your efforts to control your anxiety haven’t been working the way you’d like, and you’re left feeling like you just want to run away. Fear of making mistakes, saying the wrong thing, hesitating to take on new challenges, and the discomfort of feeling out of place have become too much. Common sense methods like trying to be rational or think positively only make it worse. Anxiety is holding you back from being the person you wish to be.

Taking that first step to reach out for support and discuss your story is a great sign of strength and it also signifies the beginning of a personal, enriching journey. I work alongside children, adolescents, and adults and work towards goals that are formulated in collaboration with clients to ensure that any unique needs are being met and inner strengths/resources are being nurtured. I have experience working with clients who present with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body-image concerns, relational concerns, and other difficulties. I have also worked alongside those who have experienced trauma and/or loss.

I provide Psychotherapy and Psychological assessments to children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing a wide range of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, aggression/anger, behavioural challenges, bullying, and emotional regulation. I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which is an evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on how thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs impact and influence our emotions and behavioural reactions. Clients interested in services at our clinic are encouraged to call, email, or utilize the online booking feature of the Waystone Psychology website.

I typically work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship problems. I often hear from clients that they need time and space to freely express and explore their thoughts and feelings with someone who holds an outsider's perspective and is also understanding, nonjudgmental, authentic, and offers expertise in the issues the client is bringing to the table. I can provide this space to help sort out your thoughts in order to find the empowerment and insight within.

Does it feel like your emotions are a burden rather than a valuable message? Are you struggling to cope with the demands of school and interpersonal relationships? Are you and your partner feeling stuck in the same negative cycle? Emotions can often feel either numb or too big, getting in the way of authentic connection to self and others. I am here to help you reconnect with your body, with your emotions, and with yourself. I work with eating disorders, anger management, self-compassion, trauma and coping with big or numbed emotions. I work especially with teens but also adults of all ages, including couples.

My practice focuses on providing high quality Psychological and Psychoeducational assessments for individuals who are experiencing concerns including ADHD, Learning Disabilities/Disorders, Giftedness, Intellectual Disability, Behavioural Challenges, and other associated difficulties that may impact an individual's functioning. I emphasize an evidence-based approach, and focus on providing my clients with practical recommendations to assist and support their learning and functioning. Clients interested in services at our clinic are encouraged to call, email, or utilize the online booking feature of the Waystone Psychology website.

I work best with people who find themselves upset and confused regarding how their lives got to be the way they are. I help people to better understand themselves and their pasts so they can make more informed decisions about how they will change their futures. I help people to feel better about themselves, and find that my clients use therapy to resolve deep and long standing problems that have bothered them for years. People often come to me with problems with addictions, moods, anxiety, or difficulties in their relationships. Mes services psychologiques sont aussi disponible en français.

My aim is to provide each and every client with the support and guidance they are looking for by creating individualized treatment plans. Life's struggles come in many shapes and sizes and focusing on areas in which we have control is a great stepping stone to formulate the life we want to be living, instead of getting stuck in the usual negative thinking that many of us get caught in from time to time.

Everyone - regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or social standing - deserves competent, kind, and compassionate care. As Covid recedes, the life challenges facing younger, middle-aged and older adults, including transitions, relationships, loneliness, body image, sexuality issues, and concerns around meaning and purpose, to name a few, remain. I have significant life and career experience as a teacher and Guidance Counsellor working with adolescents, and as an administrator and coach working with adults and teams. I am eager to meet you wherever you are along your life journey.
