Therapists in Meaford, ON

Centre Bethany Centre is a place that provides counselling services that will contribute to the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Our approach is centred around healing in an African cultural context, that is to say, healing is the remedy that is required when something goes wrong with the functioning of the mind, body, psyche, environment and spirit. This malfunction often results in one feeling anxious; abandoned; physically, psychologically and spiritually traumatized; a sense of loss of self.

Welcome to my profile! I provide English-Spanish bilingual counselling to individuals, couples and families experiencing a variety of life transitions and challenges. Patients come to me for a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grieving, anger, and relationships. My approach to counselling is eclectic, meaning that I chose the modality of work based on your personality style and what can be most effective to you. My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and Systems Theory. I am also a Career Counsellor; I can support you in finding your career path.

I am a culturally sensitive Master's level social worker who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood. I provide counselling to youth, adults, individuals, couples, and families and I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician on the frontline and in leadership teams. I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life.

Life can bring with it successes and challenges; regardless of how we define it. Success allows for celebration while challenge allows for growth and opportunity to heal. We can experience a range of emotions including sadness, hurt, guilt, self-doubt, helplessness, hopelessness, anger, despair, anxiety, loneliness, and grief; which ultimately leave an impact on our well-being. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. YOU are enough and together we can heal. Therapy is exercise for our emotional well-being that kickstarts our journey of self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, positive relations, and happiness.

The first steps to the desired change can be intimating and difficult. Your choice to seek help is a brave decision that I genuinely appreciate. Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, depressed, stressed, anxious, helpless, lonely, angry, afraid, hopeless, and empty? Or Are you in an abusive relationship, and you feel stuck? I'm willing to work with you from where you are to a place of strength, confidence, and hope. I believe you have potentials, and I look forward to patiently working with you to unfold your inner beauty. I have experience with supporting pre-teens, teens, and adults through the pain and effect of trauma and abuse

There are valid reasons behind your behaviour and emotions. We function best in an environment where we feel safe, loved and valued and can develop healthy relationships and a positive sense of self. We can then better explore life from a position of mental and emotional well-being. Perhaps this has not been your experience. Trauma and distress can affect your feelings and behaviour. The hurt may have left you feeling unsafe, devalued and negative towards yourself. You may struggle with poor coping options that have caused harm and suffering to yourself and those around you. You might be finding it difficult to navigate life.

Do you at times feel, disenfranchised or marginalized? Have you ever experienced bullying gender discrimination, microaggression or racism? Oppressed people need a voice. It is your house that is burning down- not your neighbor's. Let me help you put out the fire--I've "been there." I can also support: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family conflicts, anger management, workplace issues, couples relationship support, M.V.A /PTSD recovery. My therapeutic modalities are: Integrative, Solutions Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Family Therapy, CPT and DBT.

Feeling overwhelmed/trapped/or having racing thoughts while not knowing what to do/who turn to can be a very lonely & painful experience. The life we want for ourselves may feel distant due to stress, fear, sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, & feelings of unworthiness, shame, & guilt. I would love to walk alongside you during this time as you learn new ways of coping, get to know yourself on a deeper level, & heal/transform so that you may relate to yourself/others effectively & express yourself in a healthy way. I provide a safe, accepting, warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel empowered to be you.

Are you a youth or adult looking to find direction and build hope? With two decades of experience in high school and university settings, I understand the varied stressors in school, work, family, and community.

Hi! My name is Novlette. I understand that the decision to seek help can be a difficult one. I believe there is strength in knowing when to reach out for support. My goal is to provide a warm and gentle approach to help you feel safe and secure during the therapeutic process. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have over 25 years experience working with mental health, families, children, adults, crisis intervention, mediation, cultural identity, oppression. I am client centered, utilize a systemic, strength based, trauma informed & culturally sensitive approach.

“How are you?” is a question many of us get asked several times a day, yet, the person asking is usually not interested in the honest answer to the question. I am. As a certified clinical trauma specialist, I am able to use a trauma-informed lens that highlights one’s strengths and resilience and allows for them to explore their experiences in a safe environment. Additionally, I use an informed approach when working with adults in areas regarding sex, sexual identity, sexual education, and general sexual therapy. I aim to create a safe space, one of compassion, empathy, and care, using a person-centered, integrative approach.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck, down, anxious, stressed, or seeking answers? Would you like to improve your health and well-being and create deeper healing, improved relationships, lasting change, and transformation in your life? Perhaps you find yourself lacking time, focus, energy, drive, connection, and have no idea how to start improving things. We all have times in life when we may feel this way. With everything going on in the world these days, it's not easy to not feel this way. But you can finally stop trying to do it all alone now. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

Struggling in a relationship can often feel like a journey filled with uncertainty and emotional turmoil. I am Dwayne, a seasoned psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy since 2013. Navigating the complexities of a relationship can be challenging, but you don't have to face these struggles alone. My approach to couples therapy is tailored to address the unique dynamics of your partnership, whether it involves communication issues, unresolved conflicts, or individual challenges impacting your relationship.

My ideal client is willing to engage in self-reflection, explore the deeper existential issues related to his/her predicament, and discover the pathways of actualizing his/her potential and dream. Such a client can be a new college graduate struggling for a better understanding of her self-identity or a senior questioning his life's meaning. The issues I am best suited to addressing are both the dark sides of the human condition-such as depression, anxiety, anger, loss, suffering, and death-and the bright sides of personal growth and flourishing.

My desire is to walk alongside you in whatever struggles you are facing. Everyone faces periods in their life when obstacles feel unmanageable and the path forward is unclear. Whether you are grappling with depression or anxiety, relational conflicts, couples counselling, parenting difficulties, trauma, addiction, self-esteem and self worth, or undergoing grief and loss, we can forge a path forward together by collectively looking at your strengths and exploring possibilities for health and healing. My goal is to help clients live happier, healthier and more productive lives.

Stella helps her clients make sense of overwhelming emotions that are getting in the way of life, navigate difficult relationships, think in ways that are more fruitful, heal and move forward from hurts, and grow in self-awareness and resilience. She has helped clients struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, grief, loss of relationships, low self-esteem, family conflicts, parenting issues, marital/dating issues, work place issues, insomnia, immigration, career transition and Christian faith issues. She has years of experience helping people from various cultures, and is fluent in English and Cantonese.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. Also, I have an MPH and Ph.D. in Public Health with more than 15 years of public health academic and research experience to help my clients overcome their anxiety and mood concerns, relationship and attachment issues, trauma, cognitive, behavioural and life difficulties. My top priority is to be culturally competent, help you attain self-growth, live your authentic life again, and enjoy optimum performance and results.

We all face difficulties in life from time to time. Sometimes, we find the strength to cope and to resolve things on our own. Other times, we need someone else to come alongside us, to walk with us as we face the challenges of life, to help us build our strength and resources to more effectively move forwards towards finding the solutions we seek. Counselling can help in this process. I offer counselling in the Kincardine, ON area, as well as online and telephone counselling.
