Therapists in M6C

I bring a gentle, curious and attuned approach to my work with individuals, families and couples. Together, we will examine patterns in your life, identify and expand your capacity to cope with the challenges you experience and deepen your relationship with self and others. I view therapy as taking a course on oneself and an opportunity to evolve. My work is often focused on supporting clients to understand, experience and tolerate emotions and to shift out of behavours, thoughts and coping that are no longer serving them.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health supporting people with depression and anxiety. I help individuals develop skills to become more assertive, build self-esteem and manage emotions such as anxiety, low mood, anger, and cope with the ups and downs of loss.

Life is a process and journey that takes us in several different directions; sometimes we come to a crossroads where we must reconsider the direction our life is taking. Navigating the countless opportunities and challenges in life can often be overwhelming. In my practice, I work with you to explore options and possibilities for change; I believe that knowing you have choices in your life can foster hope and confidence in reaching your desired goals. As a trained Mental Health Practitioner and Addiction Specialist my areas of specialty include addictions, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders and interpersonal conflict.

I am a registered social worker with 15 years experience in providing individual and family therapy in adult and children mental health settings. I support individuals and families with interpersonal challenges, mental health concerns, coping with childhood trauma, work stress, transitions and emotional concerns. My work is focused on compassionately exploring and transforming deeply rooted, unsettling patterns in relationship with self and others. In therapeutic relationship where my clients feel deeply understood, we integrate relational, emotional, cognitive and body-oriented experiences to facilitate meaningful change.

There are moments in our lives where we feel stuck or moments of crisis where we have done things that we don't feel ok about. We may be living with persistent fears, thoughts, and behaviours that frighten us, or no longer align with who we are. We may experience difficulties in our relationships or trouble managing the world. We may suffer from current experiences of harm and violence, the wounds from our past, or repeating patterns and behaviours that no longer serve us. In these moments, it’s important to have a space to process our fears, pain, and our hopes while building skills, self-compassion, and a vision for ourselves.

Hi! My name is Emily Halperin and I am a Registered Social Worker and Therapist. I work with youth, young adults, and couples, supporting them through a range of emotional and relational challenges. Whether you are looking to unpack experiences that are difficult, build self-compassion, or develop strategies to manage anxiety and stress, I am here to help. In my practice, I aim to support you in exploring your emotional health and well-being. I have a particular interest in working with adults as they navigate relationships and related stressors.

I work with adults in individual therapy. I can help bring awareness to the specific obstacles that may be preventing you from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we can make shifts in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you that will support your goals. I will provide you with both a nurturing environment and the necessary tools for you to explore what's possible and move beyond what's currently holding you back from continued growth. Together, we’ll work through internal and external barriers so that you can develop strong coping mechanisms and skills that you can rely on.

Customized treatment plans for Individuals/Couples Facing: Sex Addictions. We help help to Heal Affairs, Sexual Trauma, Porn Addiction, Love Addiction and Sex Crimes are my specialties. This includes the person experiencing these challenges, and their partners and families who are confused and hurt. According to Parole Services, I have never had someone sexual re-offend while under my care and have only had 5 couples ever separate under my care. I can help with sexual enhancement, growing in intimacy, and relationship recovery. Imagine the possibilities that good therapy can have in your life!!

I often meet people who notice they are repeating relationship patterns and behaviours, and they aren't sure why. Sometimes, you may remember how these strategies were protective and kept you safe in the past, or you may not. I support the people I work with to sense, with compassion, how powerful and ingenious these strategies are. Sometimes when we meet, you've come to a place of knowing that these same protective strategies aren't as effective as they used to be, and you're wondering why or are looking to change. We come to decide in therapy what to hold tight to and what to set aside for now.

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted; the person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you! This is a shocking discovery, even if it is not the first time! I understand the heart ache, the confusion and the difficulty in trying to navigate your present pain and work towards re-grounding yourself and healing.

My belief is that people come to therapy to have an experience that is markedly different from what they encounter in their daily life. My training and experience allow me to have the tools to provide an opportunity for that different experience, whether it is getting relief from anxiety, finding grace and gratitude in the midst of grief, or gaining clarity and calm in a situation of overwhelm and confusion. We work collaboratively and creatively to uncover the root causes of your distress or dissatisfaction, and address them without re-traumatization. Our work together is safe, deep, transformative, and often spontaneously joyous.

Hello and welcome! I'm a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist and I look forward to connecting with you. Searching for the right therapist can be a daunting task, especially when this is likely a vulnerable time in your life. I hope my profile can provide you with a bit of clarity and calm in your search. If we were to work together, my priority would be to build a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship with you. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic space for self-exploration, processing difficult experiences/emotions, and working towards your goals. I also always encourage feedback from you along the way.

I am dedicated to cultivating a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for my clients. By meeting you with empathy and fostering a strong therapeutic connection, we can progress through your healing and growth journey together. Through a blend of curiosity and light-heartedness, we will delve into the depths of your psyche, emotions, and spirituality. I’d offer support and gentle guidance as you discover your innate capacity to heal and nurture both yourself and your relationships, ultimately empowering you to manifest your desires and fulfill your needs.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

My specialty is helping people work through challenges in relationships and improve their mental health. As a Master’s Level Registered Social Worker (MSW) and therapist, my goal is to help you ignite hope, expand your sense of purpose, and achieve your goals. In my experience, relationships are one of the most important aspects of human existence, including the relationship that we have with ourselves, with those around us, and with the systems we navigate within. My passion is helping individuals examine, understand, and improve the relationships in their lives so that they can live happier, healthier and more meaningful lives.

I am passionate about supporting people in harnessing their inner strength and resilience to achieve whatever they set their mind to do. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients in order to provide the most effective and long-lasting support. I support my clients in developing goals and understanding the blocks that get in the way of achieving them. I commend my clients for their courage in wanting to make changes, grow and deepen their self-awareness. I work to empower clients to be able to tackle stressors and obstacles. I practice from a non-judgemental, client-centred, strength-based and anti-oppressive approach.

My clients are seeking to better understand themselves individually and in their relationships. They are looking for help with change – to navigate their relationships with greater ease, to shift their dependence on addictive behaviours, or to navigate their careers with greater confidence. They are interested in learning new skills for personal healing and growth, and they want to feel more empowered in their lives.

I believe that clients are the experts in their life and aim to act as a guide in helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients from a holistic perspective that focuses on the interconnectedness of the whole being – the mind, body and soul. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, healing, integrative counselling approach by combining traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments, such as Breathwork, EFT Tapping/Thought Field Therapy, Mindfulness and Reiki Energy Healing modalities when appropriate.
