Stuck? Lost? Broken? Disconnected? Powerless? Hopeless? Many men wait too long to seek help for the challenges they face. You may not feel safe talking with others, particularly if you have experienced trauma, abuse, anxiety, addition, grief, or shame. Often, even those they are closest to you may understand or know the depth of your pain. You may feel that you are burdening others with your problems, and may have tried to solve your issues on your own, often leading deeper struggles and, at times, greater loss and pain.

I am looking for motivated clients who are willing to take action to resolve whatever needs to change in their life. My typical clients are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, depression, negative emotions, or difficult life situations. Some of them are struggling with compulsive behaviours and feel out of control. Others are in a relationship but things are not as good as they can be and they want more. Some of my clients are just looking to talk to someone who listens well, validates them and gives them another perspective. Sometimes they feel stuck and need tools, support and encouragement to help them move forward.

Spring 2024 - Accepting New Clients - Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the OCSWSSW.

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.

We can all benefit from having support to explore and address challenging circumstances that occur throughout our lives. In our work together, I strive to use a compassionate, non-judgemental approach in order to create a safe and supportive environment that encourages healing and growth. I view mental health as an essential component of our overall health, with counselling providing support for both navigating life’s challenges, and maintaining our general well-being. I enjoy working with individuals with concerns related to life challenges that impact one’s overall well-being and happiness.

I hold compassion for all you have been through and where you are now. I approach therapy as a collaboration between you and I, where you are respected and honoured and your strengths are highlighted. We work at a safe pace in line with your needs. I recognize how hard it is to be a human in this world and the support required to get through challenging and transitional times, as well as the possibility for resilient growth and recovery. I am an avid lover of music, art and dance, believing that creativity is a part of being alive. I work to integrate this into my practice, along with a spiritual and intuitive sense.

Accepting new clients (2024) Welcome! My name is Samantha and I am a Registered Social Worker in the Province of Ontario. I have a background in health care and have supported many clients/families as they navigate the constraints of our health care system, as well as the complexities that are often presented in these environments. I am particularly passionate about working with women (18+) experiencing, compassion fatigue, caregiver burnout, grief, guilt, stress, anxiety, as well as navigating complex relationships. I believe it is important to understand ourselves in order to pursue life from a healthier and more thoughtful place.

My ideal client is someone who senses that there is more to this life and is ready to reach for it. You may have tried other therapies, psychedelics, tried changing jobs or even changing relationships. You want more peace, joy, connection, and empowerment in your life. You need someone who will listen and empathize with you but also provide challenge and direction in service of your goals. You may also have the sense that traditional talk therapy doesn't work for you. You want to explore pathways to healing and change and are ready to face both the gold and the shadow within.

It is often hardest to reach out when we need support most. I welcome each client with empathy and offer a safe, compassionate space to speak as your authentic self. I can support you in identifying your needs and goals; moving beyond the “shoulds” you tell yourself and towards self-acceptance. I incorporate compassion, humour, and realistic life changes to meet the individual needs of each person I meet. Getting to know you and creating a unique plan of support is my priority.

Are you struggling right now? Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling anxious? Are you grieving? Is it hard for you to reach out for help? Are you being heard or seen? Do you have supports in place? I am here to provide you a listening ear and support you by helping you set your goals and help you find coping strategies. The word 'therapy' can cause fear. We can work collaboratively to find what works best for you. My interventions will help you connect with your body and mind which will in turn help with your thoughts, feelings and body sensations.

I firmly believe in the therapeutic alliance as a collaborative process based on empowerment, respect, and compassion. Through our work together, my primary aim is to draw out your strengths and foster resilience, ultimately empowering you to gain self-mastery over your life.
