Therapists in Ayton, ON

I am a Registered Social Worker and a virtual counselor in Ontario. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Psychology, a Master of Education, and a Master of Social Work. I provide strength-based therapy services for children, young adults, individuals, couples, and families using an anti-oppressive, integrated approach tailored to the unique needs of each new client. There are so many changes that happen as families grow and develop with the passing years, and I’m here to help with these transitions. For over twenty years I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse clients, including both long-term and brief

Flourish Psychotherapy is proud to offer in-person counselling services in Central Hamilton, Ontario as well as virtual counselling services across the province of Ontario. At Flourish Psychotherapy, we aim to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where processing, healing, and growth can begin to take place. We are able to provide support for a variety of life challenges including anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, trauma, family issues, relationship issues, ADHD, and more. Whether you are seeking support on your own or with your partner, our growing team of registered therapists is here to support you.

Welcome! It takes courage and strength to reach out, and I am so glad that you're here. I am passionate about building a secure, and supportive relationship where you feel safe to identify and explore experiences and core beliefs that may have you feeling 'stuck' in life. I have an eclectic and engaging approach that honours you as the expert in your own life, and as such, focuses on creating an individualized treatment plan. We will utilize modalities (such as IFS and Brainspotting) that empower you to identify and achieve your healing goals, increase your self-awareness, and ultimately support you in overcoming life’s challenges.

Confused, drained or ALONE in your relationship? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and ignore your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependents are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic, grandiose personalities. The ensuing relationship can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally it falls apart. When it does, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

If you are involved with a narcissist and even if you're not sure, you are probably feeling confused, uncertain and likely at your "wits end!" I know you have experienced a life shattering, soul crushing, emotionally confusing and devastating time in that relationship. And, I commend you for reaching out for support as understanding and healing from narcissistic abuse can be difficult to navigate on your own. I will help you validate your situation, navigate any current situations you are facing, equip you with communication tools, strengthen your Self, heal trauma with Brainspotting, and help you move forward in life.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Please check back in late Spring 2024. Thank you for taking the first step and reaching out. Making change can be hard and many times we cannot do it alone. I support adults looking for support with their mental health or addiction concerns. Some key groups I support including perinatal mental health, those living with trauma, and specialize in the area of emotion dyregulation concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder. I have a particular interest in helping other helpers, including First Responders, medical professionals, and fellow mental health workers.

Now Accepting New Clients. At Atlas Therapy, we work with individuals, children, couples, and families to help them heal, grow, and thrive. We all face challenges in our lives and deserve support, compassion, and understanding. Together we work collaboratively by building on your existing strengths, improving your relationships and understanding and replacing unhelpful or self-destructive behaviours. We offer a warm, non-judgmental space for you to navigate life’s difficulties, cope with stress, and create lasting change in ways that are important to you.

When your past lives on, you aren’t being fair to your future! You may feel like you are reliving the same old story and stuck in a repetitive pattern of negative thoughts, behaviour, and emotions with no way out. As a therapist, I walk with you to revisit these old stories and guide you to change this pattern. We will have an open conversation where you bring the knowledge of your life and I bring the knowledge of how a change can happen. My experience as a therapist has taught me that people need to be understood in an open, nonjudgmental, supportive and nurturing environment. Part of my job is to provide this environment.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

Currently, we provide online counseling services exclusively, featuring a talented team of counselors from diverse backgrounds who can tackle a wide range of mental health issues. Our primary goal is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through exceptional counseling services. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach for each unique client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we pledge to either find an appropriate replacement or suggest an unaffiliated alternative expert to ensure their needs are met.

The Therapy Centre is a full service psychology practice. We offer services to children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

As a clinical psychologist, my theoretical bases are developmental, psychodynamic and self-psychology theory. I strive to help my clients understand more about themselves, especially how early family dynamics, traumatic events, and major relationships of the past continue to play out throughout our lives, often in unexpected ways. Understanding the impact of these connections in terms of current concerns, be they family, career, environmental or social, can help prepare us to meet the challenges we face. Then there are more specific, targeted concerns that people have. For these concerns we turn to additional approaches.

Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps you are experiencing a major life transition: grief, divorce, empty nester, new job, retirement and you are wondering where you go next. Do you feel like your anxiety has taken control of your life? You are finding it hard to lean into the uncomfortable; turning down social connections and finding it hard to stay motivated. Or, are you wanting support either individually or with your partner so that you can work towards a healthier relationship?

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
