Therapists in North Bay, ON

Hello! My name is Kaitlinn Shaw. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers (OCSWSSW). I welcome clients of all ages and diverse life paths, but make a particular effort to create space for 2SLGBTQ+ folks . I have experience in helping people navigate sexuality and gender journeys, anxiety, challenges with focus and attention, self-esteem, social relationships, trauma and post-traumatic stress, suicidality and self-harm, and existential questioning (identity, meaning, purpose).

See You Tube "its not about the nail". We're both counsellors because our passion is seeing people empowered to move forward in life by understanding how to find freedom. It's possible in one visit to understand root causes of problems. We can help you to understand and implement boundaries in both personal and professional relationships. If you're tired of how you're reacting to circumstances and want to rise above emotional chaotic thinking then call.

Are you a worrier, over-thinker and are you anxious? Do you believe your thoughts and ignore your emotions? Did you grow up in a chaotic, uncertain home? Much of the anxiety that comes from your mind is actually the alarmed and wounded younger version of you that still lives in your body. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. My ideal client will be ready to learn how to feel better in their bodies rather than hoping changing anxious thoughts will be the answer. You need to feel it, to heal it!

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.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship or loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships and ability to function? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted or lost. Is it difficult to just get through the day, answer emails, texts or calls or struggle with the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if you can ever be happy? Now more than ever people are struggling with feeling overwhelmed and wanting to move beyond past traumas that have affected them and their relationships for years. We believe that there is hope.
