Codependency Therapists in Brighton, ON

Be You. Be yourself again. Be at peace with your yourself. Remember that person you used to be? That happy cheerful person is still within you. Let's work together and get your life back. We all deal differently with life struggles, feeling overwhelmed, isolated and alone. I offer safe space, empathy in a non-judgemental environment. We all have a different story, I will help you get to that next chapter.

You deserve to live a life that feels fulfilling, exciting, and full of connection to the things you love. If you are struggling with trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, postpartum/prenatal concerns, and/or addiction, I am here to help! It is important to me that all of my clients feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are; I will make sure that you never have to doubt the validity of your goals or struggles. Healing is possible for you, and I am here to help you get there.

I approach therapy by brainstorming life and it's complexities. by co-creating spaces where experiment offers perspective, art offers a bird's eye view, where dialogue leads to reflections, communication creates connection and movement allows for shifts. Together we can explore coping mechanisms; how do we look at intimacy; how we perceive our boundaries with another person or persons, among other curiosities and challenges that life presents. ​ I am a graduate of Gestalt Institute of Psychotherapy in Toronto, Canada and a registered member of College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

I recognize that starting therapy is not always the easiest choice; I'd like to acknowledge the courageous step you are taking to begin your journey. In our space together I will honour this strength and meet you where you’re at. There is no-one-size-fits-all approach to therapy which is why I'm passionate about working together to determine what is needed in our space to support you best, tailoring therapy to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. I strive to provide a safe, collaborative and empowering space that enhances self-discovery.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

As a counsellor, I hope to provide a space to be a supportive and encouraging presence as you navigate the inevitable struggles of life. I aspire to do this in a kind, non-judgmental way where you can feel safe enough to be honest, transparent and also challenged to pursue your goals. Therapy should be a place where healing can happen and you can find hope and transformation.

Samantha Croft “It is never too late to be what you might have been” – George Eliot. As young children, we know what we need, want and enjoy. We are less likely to hold back from big dreams, showing emotions or stating needs. As we move through life, difficult experiences and outside expectations often move our focus from intuitively doing what is best for us, leaving many feeling detached from our true selves. Using an eclectic, feminist approach with a sprinkle of humor, Samantha will assist you in assessing and addressing the life events that have moved you away from the life you want.

I work collaboratively with individuals to create optimal outcomes by working through challenging feelings, thoughts, situations, and experiences. I believe the client is the expert on their own situation and I use therapeutic tools to alleviate distress, facilitate improvement, and assist clients in meeting their identified goals.

We support adults, teenagers, and children who are struggling to find direction and purpose in their lives. This support can happen through individual, couples, or family sessions using a multitude of mediums to ensure safety for all. We support clients to create goals and their definitions of success, treating each individual with respect and dignity while helping them move forward. We support members who are experiencing family crises and breakdowns. We help our clients live their best life, one worth waking up for each day.

Are you experiencing anxiety, hopelessness, stress, low self-esteem? Are you feeling less like you, indecisive, confused? Are you struggling with people-pleasing, relationships, low mood, or depression? Together, we can address your stuck points using evidence-based methods. I embody Hygge & Co. by supporting you in embracing your vulnerabilities and appreciating your willingness to grow. Healing trauma, self-esteem, and tackling stress, and holding space for you to process. I am also trained in treating trauma and in the Gottman method. I am committed to focus on skill-building and actionable change with you.

Undisturb yourself! Using CBT, Existential, and Mindfulness forms of psychotherapy, I help clients (in-person/ telephone/ on-line) develop the tools in order that they think, act and feel better. Sometimes the realities of life understandably leave us susceptible to certain anxieties, despair and general existential concern. All too often we find ourselves developing unhelpful irrational thoughts and behaviours that can seem impossible to change. But they aren't. If you are interested in investigating and changing your assumptions and behaviours, if you want to modify the lens through which you view and experience the world, my therapeutic modality could be well suited to you.

Welcome to Tudor Therapy, my name is Aglaia and I believe that the quality of our relationships lays the foundation for how we experience our life. My therapeautic approach pulls from Emotionally Focused, Narrative & Existential Therapy. This means that the meaning you make of your experiences and your unique story, will be integral to the work we do together. I work with couples and individuals to explore what relationship satisfaction means to you. If you have experienced relationship transgressions or attachment injuries, engaging in open and honest dialogue about these experiences is possible!

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

You may be considering reaching out for help after trying to deal with things on your own, but this can be very difficult. My approach is person-centered in dealing with issues as I walk alongside you in your journey to recovery. Every person’s journey is unique, and therefore therapy for your recovery and goals is tailored to reflect your needs and desired outcomes. In my experience, an array of treatment modalities and therapeutic approaches can be effective, including using harm reduction strategies, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, stages of change, cognitive behavioural therapy, and coping skills development.

The uncertainty of today's world has left many individuals feeling overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and unsure how to deal with life stressors. I am here to help provide a sense of direction and support adults who are experiencing all types of challenges, including anxiety, trauma, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties. Using a trauma-informed approach, I help you feel safe, grounded, and resourced before dealing with painful memories so that you do not feel overwhelmed in the present. My goal is to help you regain your peace-of-mind, overcome shame, and regain a sense of confidence in directing your life.
