Bisexual Therapists in Courtice, ON

Specific populations that I love working with (and have undergone additional training to specialize in) include Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQIA2+ persons, trans-identified and gender diverse persons and their families (including chosen families), and clients with a history of trauma and/or substance use. I work with youth and adults (primarily 12-70 years old), couples, and families. In terms of treatment, my areas of specialty include ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, trauma, and navigating gender and sexual identities.

I have a passion for working with individuals with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I am very open about my own experience with anxiety because I strongly feel like it should be normalized, as the majority of individuals experience a mental health need at some point in their lives; there is absolutely no shame in that. I help my clients reach their goals of mental calm by providing them with a safe environment to explore and unpack their fears. Together, we begin to understand the psychology of where that fear has stemmed from and begin to take steps forward in facing our anxiety and in thriving vs. surviving.

If you're feeling worried, stressed, anxious, and afraid to be your true self, lets talk about what you'd rather be feeling. I specialize in emotion regulation, mood fluctuation, anger management, anxiety issues, depression issues, self-esteem issues, self-harming behaviours, loss and grief, and suicide ideation/threats/gestures/attempts.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly trying to fit into a world that wasn't built for you? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or social challenges related to your neurodiversity? You're not alone. Many people with ADHD, Autism, or other neurodiversities experience similar challenges. Therapy can be a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery. I understand the unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals and am here to support you through your journey of self-growth. Visit my website for more information: serenajonesrsw.com

Hello! I have been a registered social worker since 2014. Being a child or youth can be really difficult sometimes, especially following the pandemic. While I work with people of all ages, my areas of focus are in supporting children, youth and families who are struggling to cope and need support to process their feelings and difficulties they may have, including a broad range of mental illness, wellness issues and/or social issues. This includes depression, anxieties, bullying/ school issues, caregiver relationship issues, and many more. While challenges can come in all shapes and sizes, you can learn new tools to deal with them.

I offer client centered therapy from an attachment informed lens. This means that I value your opinions, thoughts and beliefs and that I see you as the expert on your life and lived experience. Working from an attachment informed lens means that I value relationships and connection. I work with Individuals (adult), couples and families, to address various stressors impacting relationships. I specialize in helping to address challenges including expressions of anger, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, self-esteem and relationship issues.

I work with individuals, families, and couples who are facing some of life’s tough realities such as the breakdown of a relationship, divorce, loss, grief, and bereavement. I also work with children and adolescents who may struggling and find their situation overwhelming and sometimes difficult to manage (i.e. social, parental, relational, etc...). My primary therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioural and my specialties include depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, and bereavement therapy. I also offer supervision to students in their practicum and new practitioners in the qualifying phase of their practice.

My mission is to support and empower clients on their journey towards growth and healing. I am committed to promoting a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to deconstruct what you are feeling, what you have experienced, and your current situation. I strive to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients through empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I recognize that there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy, and as such, I aim to tailor sessions based on your unique individual experiences and needs.
