Existential Therapists in M3H

Have you spent your entire life being ‘nice’, always putting others’ needs before your own and neglecting yourself? Do you feel that your ‘nice’ nature is being exploited and undermined, leaving you feeling nervous, insecure, confused or exhausted? Are you tired of hearing that the most toxic person in your life is a ‘nice’ person, when you know that they are actually narcissistic, intimidating, controlling and egotistical? I understand what it’s like to have a person or situation in your life that although at times supports you, also sometimes puts you down, makes you question yourself and believe that you are the problem.

Are you feeling trapped in your pain, yearning for someone who truly understands you? Do you find yourself overwhelmed, lonely, and desperately searching for a way out? Or perhaps you are grappling with deep-seated insecurities and struggling with a lack of self-worth that debilitates you? Whether you are facing grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, faith detachment, relationship difficulties or family discord, I am here to guide and support you, helping you rediscover your inner-strength and resilience, reclaim your narrative, and find joy and fulfillment in your life.

Do you feel anxious, stuck, or confused in your life or in relationships? Do you get stuck in a loop of anxious thoughts? Do your emotions feel overwhelming or do you feel numb and unfeeling? There is a way out of the difficult space you are in now where you can begin thriving instead of just surviving each day.

Welcome. My name is Hadassah. For the past fifteen years, my clinical practice has focused on supporting women with severe and enduring eating disorders and complex/developmental trauma.

Hi, I'm Ornella! You may be here for support with communication issues or codependency in relationships, difficulties with managing stress or anger, low self-worth, negative self-talk, anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness, feeling stuck, or other challenges that you may be unable to name right now. My goal is to support you with finding the direction and solutions you need. I bring over 10 years of experience in mental health and psychotherapy, while providing a welcoming virtual space for you to explore your uncertainties, as you learn concrete strategies to accomplish the healing, change, and growth you hope to experience.

I know many issues in life can be challenging to navigate alone and not many clinicians may have lived experience with these topics. Many of the issues I work with can be hard to discuss with others and leave one feeling very isolated. As a trans woman, I am particularly passionate about working with members of marginalized groups. I have a keen interest LGBTQ+ issues, those dealing with gender identity concerns, sexuality concerns, and those with experience in the sex work industry. I practice from a trans affirming and sex-positive/kink-aware perspective.

Welcome. Working with a therapist provides the opportunity to explore the things that truly matter to you. Through uncovering the stumbling blocks and triggers that prevent you from being the best version of yourself, we will collaborate together to create self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance - while determining new avenues to accomplish tangible goals that align with your values. Giving consideration to the 'whole' you is an integral part of the therapeutic process – including those aspects that are painful and deeply imbedded, as well as your strengths, resources and aspirations.
