Therapists in M4V

Welcome to a journey of transformation and empowerment. As a dedicated therapist specializing in the unique challenges of adolescents (13-18), young adults (19-35), and middle-aged individuals (36-65), I am here to guide you through the complexities of trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, OCD, life adjustments, and relationship difficulties. My approach is not just about overcoming hurdles; it's about discovering your inner strength and rewriting your story with hope and resilience. We will embark on a transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and a life filled with purpose and joy.

Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.

Are you looking for a safe space to be able to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment? Have you experienced trauma in your life, including sexual trauma(childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, sexual assault)? Are you a sex addict or betrayed partner? I work with clients with trauma and addictions(sex, porn, drugs, alcohol). I also offer couples therapy for those who are struggling or need help. I also work with First Responders (police, fire, paramedics). Partners of First Responders often struggle and need support.

We enter psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons: The death or loss of a loved one, illness, job loss, divorce, addiction, etc., but all of us seek help because we are trying to find a better way to deal with the reality we are facing. My job as a psychotherapist is to help you talk about your emotions and reactions in a safe environment, figure out where these emotions and reactions are coming from, observe whether your reactions produce the desired outcomes and, discover new ways to react, if that would produce more desirable outcomes

Are you seeking relief, clarity and well-being? Realigning your inner strengths and creating the balance you desire and deserve in your life is achievable! Stressful relationships (personal, family, work), loss, depression, anxiety, anger and conflict are some things I can assist you with. I can help you with being focused and grounded and, ultimately, more present. Being present, with yourself and others, is the only place from which you can make effective, conscious, lasting choices and changes. During 24 years in private practice I've had the privilege of working with many people of different ages, personalities and backgrounds.

Helping you cope with illness, I offer a compassionate, sensitive space for you to express your sadness, despair & rage at the unfairness of it all & will provide you with support & insight as you try to rebuild your life. Are you adopted & considering Reunion? Are you in a Blended Family needing support? I am available ONLINE by Zoom in Ontario. Early morning, evening & weekend appointments available.

Through a combination of education and both lived and professional experience, I specialize in individual and family support for addictions, concurrent disorders and substance use issues. Client goals could range from wanting to cut out substance use all together, harm reduction, or exploring reasons behind substance use or process addictions. Clients could also include family members or others with close relationships to afflicted individuals who may need their own support.

Do you often think that the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe you think you are too dramatic, too sensitive, or too angry, and just want to push the emotions away so you don’t have to feel anymore. But, you find that they don’t go away, regardless of what you do. This probably makes you feel frustrated, ashamed, and completely out of control. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and you felt more confident to be the person you have always wanted to be.

With over 30 years of counseling experience, I am an accomplished Social Worker offering a client centered, strength based, collaborative approach, where together we can explore a plan that focuses on your needs and goals in order to address the challenges that are presented and identified. We will put together a plan that will assist in providing you with a healthy way to cope and resolve issues that need attention. In a safe, non judgemental space, where you are validated, heard, and recognized for your unique abilities and strengths, we will work together towards achieving a positive outcome.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and a humanistic mental health counsellor. Do you feel like things aren't the way you thought they would be? Are you feeling stuck or misunderstood? I offer talking therapy towards helping you shape your perspective into a healthy and productive one. Whether it's your career, your relationships, or anything else that's important to you. I practice under a multicultural and multilingual perspective respecting the individual experience of otherness.

Dr. Bot is the founder and director of the Forest Hill Centre. She oversees the intake process to ensure you are matched with the most suitable clinician to meet your specific needs. At the Forest Hill Centre, we believe in your capacity to evolve and transcend your challenges. Our mandate is to partner with you to help you become the best possible versions of yourself where you are more fully engaged with your life, less burdened by emotional suffering and troubled relationships while actively realizing your potential.

I work with clients to ensure that they are receiving the care that works with their unique goals, and that they feel witnessed through their journey. I work with clients, from youths to adults, who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sex and intimacy challenges, and interpersonal relationship issues. My aim is to support and guide clients using a mind-body approach that cultivates more depth from their self-reflection and emotional processing. I approach this work with openness, and aim to create a safe and brave space where these stories are both held and heard.

I enjoy adult clients of all ages. Couple therapy is a specialty; I have advanced training, and have taught couple therapy. Even in child issues, I find working with the parents may work best. Individuals who are committed to living more productively and fully and enhancing their relationships will find me supportive and encouraging. I have a particular passion for working with elderly clients who even in their 80s are interested in understanding / improving their lives. At the moment I am working with a woman in her mid-80s and helping another, 80-year old woman to get comfortable with her computer so that we can zoom.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.

My areas of focus include Interpersonal Relationships, Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, Parenting, ADHD, Trauma, Life Transitions, Loss and Grief.

In your sessions, we will explore what you bring with curiosity and openness. Whether you are struggling in your relationships, experiencing loss or a big life change, or feeling overwhelmed and stressed, together we can explore what's happening, consider what makes sense for you, and make space to hold the feelings that are surfacing. Life is full of situations that can be difficult to navigate alone. Together, we can create a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand who you are and how you want to be in the world so that you can live a more connected and fulfilled life.

Thank you for your interest. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst providing Brief and Long-Term Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, and Relationship Therapy for adults of all age ranges. I am happy to answer questions by phone, video call, or meet with you in person to explore how I can best help you. I treat a wide range of issues, but also specialize in working with individuals from multi-cultural backgrounds. I have lived in various cultures, am multi-lingual and highly attuned to the added complexity multi-cultural issues may bring to treatment. I also offer Psychotherapy Supervision.

It's hard sometimes to handle life's challenges all on your own. Despite your best efforts to ease your suffering, you still find yourself feeling stuck and unfulfilled. You are not alone. I am here to listen to you, get to know who you are, learn more about what is hurting you, and what you truly want. My approach is warm and down-to-earth and focuses on building a trusted relationship with you and collaborating on your most important goals. Together, within a safe space, we will work to uncover your inner wisdom, navigate your challenges, and move towards more meaningful and fulfilling ways of being with yourself and others.

People of all ages have expertise on their own lives. When problems linger and impact mental health and well-being, collaborating with a therapist who is a good fit for you can provide a safe space to establish perspective and highlight the unique values, skills and knowledge you bring to your lived experience. I strive to create warm, respectful and strength-based working relationships that allow us to identify problem solving skills and abilities to reduce the influence of the problem or dissolve it altogether. Sometimes a single consultation is useful while other problems might have us consulting for a period of time.
