EMDR Therapists in Etobicoke, ON

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.

I am EMDR Certified Therapist (EMDRIA), Reg. Psychotherapist (ON) and Reg. Social Worker (ON) with an academic background in law, clinical social work, mental health and trauma specialized training. I provide counseling and therapy services in different categories of concern, which may include traumatic life experiences, complex post-traumatic stress, developmental trauma, workplace trauma and managing life-work changes and transitions.

With over 10 years of experience working with children, teens & families, I know that we can all use help at different points in our life to take care of our mental health. By sharing our inner thoughts, feelings and emotions within a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we can find ways to heal from past traumas and make sense of difficult life experiences. We can learn how to cope with stress and change, develop better communication skills, have healthier relationships and resolve family conflicts.

Hello and welcome. I have been working with children, teens and families as they navigate through life's ups and downs for over 16 years . Working primarily from an attachment framework, I hold space for the thoughts and feelings connected to all types of relationships in your or your child's life. Together, we will look at patterns that may be contributing to feeling stuck, learn new ways of coping and build healthier relationships.

I work clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, PTSD, trauma and self-exploration. My goal is to help clients get a better understanding of how their thoughts impact behaviours, emotions and moods.

Trauma impacts many facets of our lives. It alters our view of self, personality and identity, ability to relate to others, and ability to navigate the world. Trauma incorporates many events, big and small, including emotional neglect, abusive relationships, sudden loss, witnessing tragic events, and illness. In response, you become anxious, stressed, and depressed and experience intrusive thoughts, fear, and anger. Often, you may feel alone or trapped and are easily triggered. It feels like you cannot be yourself.

Need someone who "gets you" to talk with or listen as you go through a difficult time or life transition? I'm empathetic and pragmatic, focused on you and your needs. Together, we'll develop strategies that help navigate obstacles interfering with you enjoying the life you envision. We'll follow an holistic approach to draw on self knowledge to find answers that reside within you, honing your abilities to work through life's challenges. I'm a Registered Social Worker, (RSW) with a Masters of Social Work (MSW) specializing in Mental Health, and hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) in English Literature & Aboriginal Studies.

I am here to help when you find yourself in a ‘place’ where emotions, stress, and pressures seem unbearable and overwhelming. Or if you have found yourself in a place of transition or simply want to improve your personal wellbeing and mental health, I am here to help. Life can be hard, it can be trying and at times it can feel empty. As your therapist I will help you develop and grow effective coping strategies. As a keen listener and thoughtful psychotherapist, I develop a genuine connection with my clients and work together with them to get results. ***Please visit my website to book a consultation***

You might be feeling hurt, angry, and uncertain after being betrayed by someone close to you. Are you struggling with sexual concerns that are affecting your relationships, causing you to feel disconnected from your partner, and alone? When we are faced with feelings of distrust, resentment, guilt, or shame, the hope for change can seem far away. Therapy can provide a safe place for you to identify these feelings, identify the root causes, and feel empowered.

Sedâ Psychotherapy consists of a team of therapists who are available to support you in navigating your individual and relationship challenges. Our therapists provide virtual services to youth (aged 6+), adults, couples, and families in Ontario. Common concerns that we help clients with are anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, children's mental health, 2SLGBTQ+ experiences, identity exploration, perfectionism, sex and sexuality, life transitions, OCD, ADHD, disordered eating, and substance use concerns.

I have been a social worker for over a decade. I enjoy helping adults, parents and youth to enjoy more connection in their relationships, to experience more emotional regulation and less depression and anxiety, and to live their best lives. I’m trained in attachment focused family therapy, trauma treatment, DDP, EMDR, CBT and other modalities. I believe that therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe and accepted for all of who you are. This frees us to share our true thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, and thus to feel less alone and be able to explore our mind and life in connection with another.

Do you feel overwhelmed and can't see a way forward? Are you experiencing emotional pain or struggling in your relationship? In therapy, you will get support and build coping skills for managing anxiety and depression, recovering from traumatic experiences including PTSD, and healing your marriage and interpersonal relationships. Together on your therapeutic journey we will clarify your questions and concerns related to identity, meaning and purpose, sexuality, substance dependence and addiction, anger and impulse control, and overcoming abuse. Difficult experiences in your past don't have to determine your future.

I am a registered psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. I have been working in mental health for over 20 years supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, family issues, grief, as well as those who feel stressed or “stuck.” We are all unique, so over the years, I have developed a background in different counselling approaches because there is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone. I use new, cutting-edge treatments informed by neuroscience, like EMDR and Brainspotting. I also practice more traditional “talk” therapies, like CBT.

Trauma & painful early life experiences can get in the way of being able to enjoy our lives today.If you are suffering from PTSD, childhood trauma, persistent anxiety or depression, relationship breakdown or chronic stress, I can help. I am a trauma specialist and will help you to rebuild your life. I have extensive experience with First Responders, including physicians, and I will help you to feel safe and heard. First responders are seen ASAP. If you want to experience profound change, healthy relationships & trauma healing, I can help. Healing from trauma and a whole new outlook on yourself and your life are possible.

Accepting NEW Clients - Ready to conquer stress, anxiety, or sadness and reclaim "feeling like yourself"? Overwhelmed by life's pressures, past traumas, or relationship challenges? Eager to grasp how your thoughts and feelings today connect to your overall sense of self? Seeking a therapist who gets your values and background, connecting you to your past, present, and future experiences? Let's team up to explore your struggles or dive into understanding yourself better. I'm here for both individuals and couples, guiding you through past, present, and future explorations.

The thought of talking to stranger about deeply personal issues can feel daunting. Talking to a therapist who values your story and perspective can guide understanding, empowerment and healing. Whether you are beginning to notice a sense of dissatisfaction with life, difficulty with relationships or heightening anxiety therapy is a space to feel heard and validated . Pressure and expectations can leave us feeling alone and wondering how we ended up here. Sometimes things happen that are outside of our control, things that impact us in ways that we never could have imagined. You are important and understanding yourself matters.

It is my honour to sit with people and develop a compassionate understanding of their needs and wounds, and foster genuine healing, strength and love.

Everything can be broken down into small and manageable steps, and even small shifts can produce significant change and offer much needed relief. If you or your loved one (child, adolescent, or partner) seems to be stuck in repeating behaviours, or patterns that are stretching your patience and energy reserves, you've come to the right place. I'm here to help shoulder some of the emotional weight you've been carrying, and to let you know there is hope, tangible tools and strategies, and positive change on the other side of bravely stepping into this process.

We all have seemingly insurmountable personal struggles at times. If you are troubled and not coping well on your own, you may benefit from consulting with a registered psychologist. Problems such as depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, past traumatic events, the death of a loved one, workplace stress and relationship difficulties can all be helped through pyschotherapy. Having an experienced pyschologist with whom to consult breaks the isolation you may be currently feeling and can provide you with the perspective and tools to help you move your life forward in a direction and that feels right to you.
