It can be a moving experience, to be truly heard and understood. These days, with all of life's distractions, sitting with someone for an hour, who is actively listening and interested in what you have to say can take getting used to! With therapy, we begin with where you are today. I meet you where you are at and we work together on what you need to feel better in your inner and outer world. I support folks who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, anger, codependency, relationship issues, sexuality, trauma, or spirituality. I am here to offer acceptance, curiosity, and a new perspective on what feels stuck in your life.

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.

What if there was a solution to transform your relationship? You've been stuck in never-ending cycles of arguments or complete emotional detachment from your partner. You need change but unsure what to next. No matter how hard you've tried on your own—having conversations, going on date nights, reading books, or even seeing a therapist—there's still a disconnect. You're craving emotional connection, effortless intimacy or sex, and healthy communication. You want to take control of your relationship's future as you are worried these unresolved issues will jeopardize your family, your happiness, your future and your lifelong dreams.

We all need a reliable, comfortable, and non-judgmental space to work through our struggles. Whether it's your anxiety, feeling stuck, or something else, I can help. Welcome! I'm Haley Veronyak, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) looking to help you with the challenges of life. My passion to become a therapist started when I saw loved ones get stuck in the hardships of life. Then I got stuck. At my lowest, I wasn't sure what I needed, but I knew that what I wanted, wasn't where I was. I have first-hand experience of the value of taking the time to work on yourself and figure out your emotions to achieve the life you want.

What if you could talk to your partner without it becoming an escalated argument every single time? You’re looking for a therapist either because you’re not getting the emotional affection you need or because you have the same fights over and over. You try to discuss your problems but always end up disconnected. You’ve already tried everything you know to do. You have attempted some conversations, gone on date nights, read some books, and may have been to a therapist before. You’re scared of what might happen if something doesn’t change soon. Things are at the point now where you know you need professional help. You need change.

If you are feeling unhappy in your relationship, or struggle with relationship/dating anxiety - my approach may be a fit for you. Relationships are rewarding but challenge us in complex ways. Attending Emotion-Focused Therapy can help to address painful emotions, identify patterns that keep you "stuck", and to gain awareness of your needs. EFT can help attain a deeper level of connection internally and with others. My therapeutic approach is ideal for you if your goal is to look at what may be holding you back in your close relationships. I often work with issues such as infidelity, marriage/parenting conflicts and separation.

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.

One of the most difficult parts of feeling emotional pain and internal suffering is experiencing it alone. I believe walking alongside your journey and listening to your voice matters. A lot of us want a better understanding of self and/or require support with trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or relationships. Often, seeking support can be a challenging first step as there are unpleasant feelings, stigmas, thoughts and difficult behaviours. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and accepting space for you explore them. I strive to help you build a stronger connection to yourself and strengthen your mental resiliency.

It is not unusual to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Sometimes we simply do not have the tools to cope effectively. That is where I hope to make a difference for you. As a therapist my role is to support you non-judgmentally, meet you where you are at, and also respond to you with empathy. I will begin to challenge thoughts and beliefs, reflect patterns and provide differing perspectives. We will start to uncover emotions, thoughts and behaviors together that may be keeping you feeling "stuck". I hope to support you in making decisions that will shift your relationship with yourself and others.

I offer individual, couples and family counselling for a wide range of issues. We can work collaboratively to ensure that all your individual needs and goals are being addressed, while also developing a strengths-based treatment plan that fits with your lifestyle and readiness. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to work through problems and discover new ways to grow and adapt to life's everyday challenges. I'm here to accompany you on your path of self-discovery, growth, and change.

It's difficult to imagine what life can be like beyond the hardships; difficult to see a light in the darkness. I am here to sit with you. I am here to cry with you. I am here to see you. I am here to listen to you. I am here to empower you to grow into yourself. But, I'm also here to laugh, smile, and celebrate with you. Because even though the darkness might feel insurmountable, there are always glimmers and I want to help you find them. It's a pretty scary place to be alone in your mind, but I'm here to help make that place a little less lonely.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and stressful, thus making it difficult to cope. Therefore, my hope is to help you work through some of your issues (i.e., anxiety, grief, loss) that you are struggling with by providing the skills, insight, and knowledge you need to lead a life you want. I know talking to someone about painful emotions and memories can be difficult so thank you for taking the first step to seeking help.
