Therapists in Fort Erie, ON

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’ve probably spent a lot of time trying to fix things on your own, but maybe you’ve reached a point of exhaustion. You might be feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, & alone. You don’t know what else you can do to make yourself feel better, or how to keep up with the challenges you’re facing. Maybe there are cultural & social challenges that are making your situation worse. Maybe you're tired of running around in circles & have made the decision to see a counsellor so you don’t continue to feel like you’re “going crazy”.

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.

Are you struggling to manage your emotions of sadness, anxiety, anger, overthinking and panic? Do you experience a sense of helplessness in understanding your own behavioral reactions? Sometimes, lack of control in life can create a sense of despair. The desire of being heard, understood, seen, heal and recover can contribute in our optimal functioning and well-being. Healing can help individuals have better relationship with themselves, their career, their environment and other people around them. Seeking therapy can be challenging however, not impossible. With trust and hope, you can reach the goals of your mental wellness.

Hi! I'm Gillian (she/her) and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I have studied mental health across the lifespan and have over 15 years of experience working in healthcare. I believe that at the heart of being human is the desire for connection with others and our world. But sometimes it can feel like we are stuck and disconnected. As a therapist, I set out to build strong connections with my clients, making them feel seen, heard and cared for. Together we set goals and make a treatment plan, taking into account each individual’s unique experiences, culture, and beliefs.

Hello and thank you for taking the sometimes difficult steps to seek out help. You should be proud of yourself! My name is River. I'm happy you're here. For me, it's a great privilege to be invited to join people on their mental health journey. Let's face it, the world is tough. Whether it's climate or social anxiety, depression, relationships, ADHD, Autism, sex, or gender dysphoria, we all struggle with something. We exist in a culture of comparison and competition and it's hard to find our place in all of it. I offer individual and relationship therapy to adults, including polyamorous and other non-monogamous folks.

Our mental health journey can at times feel like we are on a never-ending rollercoaster ride; full of intense and fast cycling emotions, negative self-talk, unstable relationships, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness and at times exhilarating and thrilling. Maybe you want the ride to slow down, or feel less turbulent, maybe you wish it would stop. No matter where you are at on your journey, you don't need to ride alone! Together we can go on a therapeutic exploration towards healing, where you feel safe, heard, understood and validated.

I have experience working with youth and adults with an emphasis on and gender diverse folks and the LGBTQ2S community. I have supported clients with a range of presenting issues, including anxiety and depression, body image, eating disorders, gender/sexuality-related issues, personality disorders, intergenerational trauma, complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and substance use. My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed, intersectional anti-oppressive framework and I aim to foster resilience and empowerment using a warm, collaborative approach to support folks in meeting their goals.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards self-discovery! I may be the right fit for you if you’re seeking a warm and empathetic therapist who will make you feel truly heard, while also guiding you through challenges in ways that inspire growth and new perspectives you might not have explored before. Perhaps you’re going through a difficult life transition, struggling with relationship issues or simply feeling like something is missing in your life. Through broadening your self-awareness and gaining new tools in a safe and compassionate space, you can collaborate with me to make the changes that you want to see in your life.

I work with couples and individuals providing in-person therapy as well as virtual therapy which have been exceedingly popular as it provides more flexibility in today's culture. In couples therapy I incorporate gottman theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and attachment therapy. I work with individuals suffering from various anxiety disorders, as well as depression, suicidality and grief related to infertility. I have an eclectic approach, incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques as well as pulling from different theoretical orientations such as attachment theory and motivational interviewing techniques.

In 2017 my heart led me into the field of mental health counselling. After going through my own journey I knew that making a difference in the lives of those whose suffer was what I wanted to do. As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counsellor I am here to tell you that you are not alone, that there is hope, and that with dedication and consistency you can improve your life. Receiving my training at the Caron Organization in Florida my specialities include working with mood and anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, disordered eating, family and relationship strain, and life transitions.

I'm a therapist based in Vaughan and Maple, Ontario - with 20 years experience in individual, child, family and couple therapy. As a strong believer in inner peace and acceptance, I work extensively every day to help people overcome suffrage from mental illnesses and other personal struggles. The mind is our most powerful tool, and a healthy mind helps us achieve inner peace and balance that promotes a happy and successful life. Many people experience a mental illness or a life struggle that challenges them every day, and impacts not only their lives, but also the lives of their loved ones. Therapy is a means to finding balance

I have worked extensively with teens, individuals and couples as they navigate various challenges including anxiety, depression, suicidality/self harm, relationship and interpersonal stressors, as well as complex trauma and PTSD. Some individuals are very aware of where they are struggling, which helps us to align quickly and start working together. Whereas others might be new to counselling and really want a trained clinician to help them to understand and make sense of their world and experiences in a safe, warm and supportive space. I offer a client centered approach and will meet you where you are at, wherever that might be.

I believe that we each have an innate wisdom and a core self or spirit that strives for joy, peace and fulfillment. Despite this, we can often become overwhelmed with difficult emotions and feel stuck in ways of being which do not serve us. I embrace the learnings from my Spiritual Psychotherapy & Spiritual Direction training as well as my intuitive energy training. I adopt an eclectic approach which combines traditional talk therapy with spiritual practices . I view healing as a journey of self-discovery and increased awareness which takes one to a deeper place of understanding of self and greater mind-body spirit connectedness

Are you in a place in your life where you require emotional support? Perhaps you know someone who does? We have all struggled, or are struggling, and it is important to remember that as human beings, it is common to experience a variety of hardships at different times in life. Newmarket Psychotherapy Team is a growing team of collaborative therapists with a nurturing space for you to visit, where a therapist of your choice can provide you with the kind of support that you require and deserve. Our Collective welcomes everyone, at anytime. It is never too late to reach out for support.

Sometimes we are mentally injured by events or accidents in our lives; they can cause shallow or deep wounds and trauma to our emotions. In some cases, we scratch our wounds unconsciously and worsen them instead of accepting and healing them compassionately. Uncompassionate focus on our injuries or pain can negatively impact our quality of life. They may bring stress, anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable feelings. Counselling can soothe wounds and ease pain. I try to help you heal those wounds and improve your health. I will be there with you throughout this journey by listening to you and gaining insight together.

Life is full of challenges. We don't always have a choice what challenges we face. But we can choose how we view or overcome these challenges. I believe that we each have our own reserve of resilience waiting to be tapped into. Most of the time we have the strength to face these challenges. Sometimes we reach out to our friends and family for support and that is all we need. At other times, these challenges can overwhelm us and our system of support. We feel alone and helpless. When you are ready for change, let me support you in embracing your challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn something new about yourself.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.
