Something has shifted and you can feel it. The way you used to handle things isn’t working the way it once did. You’re holding everything together for everyone else, and somewhere in the process you’ve lost track of yourself. You keep waiting to feel like you again. It may show up as a constant anxiety, irritability, or not thinking as clearly, feeling resentful, tired or overwhelmed. The fact that it’s shifting now isn’t a failure. It’s what happens when you’ve genuinely grown. Therapy is a space where you get to decide who you’re becoming.
I’m Chantal Simms, a Registered Social Worker with 15+ years of experience working with people navigating life’s biggest transitions. I use CBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based approaches. My sessions are benefits-eligible. And together we can start figuring out who you're becoming next.
I offer a supportive space where we can slow things down, understand what is happening, and build tools to help you navigate anxiety, stress, and overwhelm and recalibrate the areas of life that matter to you most. If you are wondering if therapy might help, I'd be happy to connect and explore how I can support you.

I often use an integrated approach that draws from principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and mindfulness. I look at how our early experiences inform core beliefs that impact that way we relate to ourselves and others. During treatment you will learn to become aware of and challenge patterns that are perpetuating stress and interfering with wellbeing.
