Bisexual Therapists in V9M
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression & loneliness that affects your day-to-day life and work life? Do you feel confused about why you do the things that you do? Do you want to break patterns that you cannot seem to escape? I work with young adults who constantly worry, can’t get out of bed in the morning, struggle to make friends and feel stuck in patterns that do not serve them. I believe that we can direct our own life and choose how we react. At Riley Counselling, I offer counselling & therapy for young adults.

I work with a lot of people who struggle in relationships: with setting and maintaining boundaries, asking for what they want, and maintaining a sense of self while still feeling connected to another person. A lot of my clients also struggle with their relationships with themselves: with self-worth, having reasonable expectations for themselves, self-criticism and with the exhaustion that accompanies a mind that won't shut off. It can feel really hard to trust yourself if your attempts at coping involve reaching for things that ultimately do more damage, in addition to numbing your pain.

I have been supporting children & youth, and their families for the past 17 years in public education. I facilitate workshops and also do group counselling. I have a strong background in special education, which means I often observe the behaviour(s) of children and youth, collaborate with them and their families, and implement/teach tools for alleviating a child's stress. I have experience as a clinician for Adult Mental Health & Addictions in both inpatient and outpatient care from the hospital. This has benefited early recognition and prevention.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.

I work with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and the persistent echoes of trauma. I have experience working with survivors of relational trauma and trauma related to adverse childhood experiences as well as those who experience ADHD, PTSD and C-PTSD. Clients often reach out to me for my warmth, genuine caring, and deep belief that healing is possible. I can help you build up grounding and regulation skills, identify the unconscious patterns that undermine your life, and help you find healthier, expansive, and more flexible ways of relating - to yourself, to others, and to the world.

One of the most profound sources of healing is already embedded in you; your body, your dreams, and your senses are always giving you clues as to what it is you need most, what you are invited to heal next, and where your next best step is. Current neuroscience reveals to us what ancient mystics and spiritual leaders have been showing us for millennia - that we can and will heal in profound ways as we gain capacity to integrate all of our experiences. Journeying together with a practitioner or healer who can see us, accurately reflecting back to us what we could not previously see, is a life-changing experience.

The teen years are a time of massive growth and development. There are so many physical, emotional & social changes at this time. Some teens struggle with overwhelming fears, confusion, anxiety, and/or depression. The stress and pressure of personal circumstances can feel like it is a lot to handle. As caring bystanders, we may witness a youth retreat into themselves and become difficult to reach. What is the answer? Talking with an experienced counsellor can make a difference.

I work with individuals who have been through overwhelming and traumatic events - who are struggling with anxiety, panic or depression, where symptoms and triggers feel uncontrollable and unstoppable and those who feel like their past continues to resurface. By supporting your nervous system and working from a somatic approach, together we will process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled way so they are no longer needing to keep you in an activated state.

Do you find yourself wishing that the world would just slow down for a few moments, let you catch your breath and get your feet back underneath you? Are you wondering how things got so overwhelming and out of control? In times of transition, whether by choice or demand, we often find ourselves needing new skills to cope with our changing circumstances. Our relationships are deeply impacted by our ability to communicate our needs, desires, and boundaries, and yet we are taught so few of these skills.
