Toronto, ON M5P
Equipped with a Masters Degree in Human Systems Intervention, Stephen laser focused on providing customized and highly personalized Intervention, Recovery Coaching, Alcohol Monitoring and Addiction Counselling solutions for clients/client families.
Addiction Management is a complex and gut-wrenching process, especially at the front-end. People often find themselves stuck with the problem and are confused about how to move forward. Assisting families and loved ones in understanding the true depth, pattern and extent of the problem helps to inform decisions on appropriate options moving forward. Making informed decisions at the right time not only saves money, it establishes reasonable expectations and creates the conditions for successful outcomes for the entire family system.

The strength-based solution approach I use is based on an integration of my training in various coaching and therapeutic methods, (Mindfulness, positive psychology, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused coaching) along with my 20 years of results-oriented business experience.
I help my clients through various challenges and transitions in their personal and professional lives. Most are smart and interesting people who have experienced various levels of success, but currently they could be: 1: Having difficulty accomplishing certain things due to executive functioning challenges such as organization, planning, focus and time management .2: Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated or depressed and unable to balance conflicting demands and priorities. 3: Feeling stuck and unsure of what's holding them back. 4: Experiencing leadership or relationship challenges

My therapeutic approach is one that aims to create an environment of safety, compassion and trust. I work from the premise that therapists are partners in promoting clients' access to their own healing potential. Together, we can clarify your goals and tailor sessions to meet your specific needs and life circumstances. Due to the client-centered approach of therapy, counselling sessions will draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities including, mindfulness tools, cognitive-behavioural strategies, trauma-informed and mind-body approaches.

Hi, Iâm Laura, a neuro-affirming, queer+, East Coast gal. I am a gentle soul, a late diagnosed ADHD'er, a nature/music lover, and a lover of creativity & connection. I know what itâs like to struggle with a busy overactive mind. To feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, and out of control. To strive for perfection that can never be achieved. I get how a lifetime of messaging can tell us weâre âdifferentâ or ânot enough.â I get how ADHD/Mental Health impacts relationships, work, self-esteem, and overall function. I certainly donât have all the answers, but I know from experience, there is hope to not only function but thrive in life.

Managing our relationships, work, school, and life changes can feel overwhelming. You may be overthinking about friends, jobs and relationships, or having a difficult time developing and maintaining positive relationships with family, friends, or partners. While these challenges pile up, anxiety, anger, and sadness can start to cloud our thinking making it hard to tackle what we're experiencing on our own. Therapy can help us cope with what we're are going through, while also helping us learn more about ourselves along the way and regain control over parts of our life we felt we lost.

On the outside, you look like you've got it altogether. On the inside, you feel anything but. Your thoughts are racing, disorganized, overwhelming, and you don't know how to make them stop. It's the bad kind of familiar and you can't believe you're back here again, or still stuck. Maybe you've even tried therapy before and it didn't work. I can help. I work to make therapy fit YOU and not the other way around. My approach is holistic, strengths-based, and grounded in therapeutic approaches supported by evidence and extensive training. While there's no magic bullet, personalized therapy is the best kind of help.

Life can be hard at times, and when we meet the messy moments it can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hopeless. We are human, after all. It makes sense that we may find ourselves stuck at times - stuck in our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and it can be tough to shift things in the right direction, especially if we are doing it on our own. With honesty and compassion, therapy is a place to explore what you're navigating and create sustainable change that supports your healing and growth. I support women who are wanting to shift out of survival mode so they can feel grounded, confident, and free.

In my neurodiversity-affirming practice, I view neurodivergence as a celebrated difference, not a deficit. My ideal client is a female-identifying or non-binary adult navigating the challenges of neurodivergent identity. They struggle with self-criticism, overwhelm, and burnout from masking their true selves. Their goal is to embrace their unique strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and advocate for their needs in a world that often misunderstands them. Sessions are strategically structured to accommodate level 1 autism and ADHD; However, anyone may inquire if my profile resonates with them.

Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
