Therapists in Oakville, ON

Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. My hope is that through our work together you feel empowered to understand, strengthen and repair your relationship with self and other, even when it doesn't seem possible. I work from a collaborative and client centered stance; facilitating individuals, couples and families towards a greater understanding of their emotional responses and needs. As we become aware of ourselves and our needs, we have a better sense of where to make change. My specialties include Maternal Mental Health (pregnancy/postpartum), Substance Use & Addiction, relationship struggles and Hold Me Tight Workshops.

Accepting New Clients! I offer in person and online therapy services in the Mississauga area (operating in BeWell Clarkson Health Centre Wednesday-Friday) that support those of all backgrounds facing mental health challenges. Counseling and psychoeducational assessment services are for children and adolescents (ages 6 to 22). Through therapy, the goal is for individuals to better understand themselves by identifying strengths while also managing their struggles with mental health to help with personal growth.

I work with children (including early years), teens, and adults. People begin therapy for a number of different reasons; as a therapist I often work with individuals and families that are looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, parent-child relationships, social skills, behaviour, and so on. I seek to understand your experience and will journey alongside you in an empathetic and non-judgemental way to help you develop new insights, recognize patterns, build coping skills, repair relationships, and improve communication. I aim to make the therapy space feel safe, inviting, and comfortable for all.

Life is a journey, like every great journey it has its certainties and uncertainties. As a registered marriage and family therapist I am trained in systemic, relationships and psychotherapy. I believe that throughout life we exist in many type of relationships, that directly or indirectly impact our well beings. Research and theory have shown that mental illness and family issues are best treated in the context of relationships. My therapeutic approach to counseling is non judgmental, kind, graceful, understanding and I value my clients input in the session. I use Gottman Method Couple Therapy in my work.

Are you seeking answers? Answers about why you or your child are struggling academically, behaviourally or emotionally? Answers about why it is so hard to stay focused and be organized? Have you wondered if your child could be gifted? Have you been feeling lonely, sad, worried or unmotivated? Do you wonder why your relationships with others are strained? Have you asked yourself how you will ever feel happy again after what you have been through? Are you seeking answers about how you can get unstuck, thrive and be the best you possible?

I am a registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist who works in a private practice providing assessment and treatment to children, adolescents, adults and families with a wide variety of issues. I have over 10 years experience working with depression and anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress management, behavioural issues, body image and eating disorders. My clinical training took place at various hospital and community based settings, including the Hospital for Sick Children.

Are you feeling disconnected from the people in your life? Have you lost your sense of self? Here at Counselling and Co., we understand how lonely that can feel. When circumstances change unexpectedly, loss and betrayals sideline us, or loved ones let us down, it can feel overwhelming and uncertainty can creep in leaving us unsure how to navigate next steps. At Counselling and Co., we believe in connection, compassion, and community lead to clarity and healing. Our team of therapists are like a village of supporters, here to help you connect more deeply with yourself and your loved ones through compassion and understanding.

I am Gaby, and I am deeply dedicated to promoting mental wellness across diverse communities. From children navigating early developmental milestones to young adults grappling with transitional periods, my mission is to cultivate a safe, nurturing, and inclusive space where individuals can embark on a journey of exploration, healing, and growth. I have a particular affinity for nurturing young minds and have devoted a substantial portion of my career to supporting neurodiverse individuals.

Are you grappling with the weight of your emotions, unsure of how to break free from the patterns that seem to be holding you back? Do you find yourself wrestling with anxiety that tightens its grip on you day by day? Is depression casting a shadow over your life, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one and struggling to find solace? Or perhaps you're in the midst of a significant life transition, feeling lost and overwhelmed? As a compassionate and highly skilled therapist, I understand that these challenges can be all-consuming, leaving you feeling isolated and in pain.

There are many reasons for seeking therapy. Lived experiences of stress, loss, trauma, and overwhelm are among the reasons people reach out for help. I am interested in body-centered and psychological foundations of emotional, mental, and physical health. I work with people whose lives are affected by trauma and loss, anxiety, early childhood attachment disturbances, emotional injuries, mental health difficulties, and learning disabilities.

Growing up is not always easy and it can often feel overwhelming. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is seeing your child struggle. I can help you sail through the storm. I am a bilingual Registered Social Worker experienced in working with children, adolescents and families. Whether it is a problem with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, parenting challenges, traumatic life events, issues with family transitions, adjustment to school, or peer relationships, you don't have to do it alone.

Is your child or teen often feeling angry, depressed, or anxious? Is there tension in your home holding unresolved issues? Are you at your last wit’s end? Children problems can easily create turmoil in your home or school impacting their relationship with you and/or peers. We will be happy to help you and your child to re-gain your family harmony and create concrete solutions to address your concerns!

Reaching out for support can be a very challenging task but it is also the first step to get you closer to living your preferred life. In therapy, we will work together to clarify your life's vision, explore what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals, identify what skills and strengths you have to overcome these barriers, while also learning new skills and ways of thinking. During this process, I am committed to creating a respectful space where you will feel heard, acknowledged, supported and understood. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

Asking for support is a courageous first step in managing your mental health & wellness. It is easy to get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns that do not serve us. The good news is, we have more control over our thoughts and feelings than it may seem. You can learn to take charge of your behaviour with the right tools & techniques, to live a more fulfilled & happy life. I will work collaboratively with you to help set achievable goals that support empowerment, capacity building & resiliency. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to share so we can have relaxed & authentic conversations.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.
