Existential Therapists in Durham, ON

If you’re feeling stuck and in need of guidance, I can help. Through therapy, we can work together to identify changes you can make to improve your life and increase your strength, endurance, and resilience. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and at your pace.

We all experience points in our lives that can be challenging to manage. Conflict, traumatic events, loss, life transitions and stress can impact us. When these challenges impact our daily functioning, mood and relationships psychotherapy can help. I offer online video therapy or phone therapy at this time.

We're Alivia Solutions, a passionate & dedicated team of professionals help toddlers, children, youth, adults, families and couples deal with life issues. We believe that therapy is for everyone not just when you are in crisis. Therapy is a way to get unstuck from old patterns that no longer serve you. Life is uncertain & full of twists and turns. Parenting is hard. Relationships take work. Families can be dysfunctional. And sometimes love hurts. When we are confronted with feelings, events, or issues that make our life challenging - it’s ok to ask for help. We provide a safe in person and virtual space to be able to HEAL!

I see children and families for a variety of reasons. Generally speaking, people come to me because they are ready to improve their quality of life, relationship with other family members, or heal from some form of experience. I may see individuals and families to help with emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, increase coping skills, or to improve communication and reduce conflict. My service approach is geared towards the individual goals and needs of the family. Often families come to me because they want some form of individual or family function to change. I can help through either talk therapy and/or play therapy.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to your authentic self. < < < I have 2 spots for couples therapy, high conflict or intercultural> > >

We all have within us a profound sense of knowing that helps us to live the life we ought to be living. When our lives are not aligning with this inner wisdom, we experience isolation, depression, and feel unfulfilled, stuck, and bored. We find ourselves in old repetitive patterns, jobs, and relationships that are no longer serving us. I can help you address these issues and guide you to explore the deepest parts of your self so that you can begin to live your authentic life.

If your thoughts, actions, and emotions have formed a mental ‘block’ keeping you back, you are not alone. Many individuals have these concerns as a result of a trauma, stress, fear, or are heightened by anxiety, shame, betrayal, or other mental health issues. You want to address these issues using proven psychotherapeutic methods as provided by a registered mental health professional. This would be supported through a therapeutic relationship with the professional where client feelings will be validated and they can share their thoughts and concerns through trust in a safe environment free of judgement, criticism, fear, or disdain.

I seek to empower my clients to feel connected and secure with themselves and their partner; communicate effectively; gain confidence to navigate parenthood; problem solve in a safe and non-judgemental way; increase understanding of the connection between different parts of the self; live in the present moment; improve self-esteem; reduce stress; improve coping skills; feel increasingly hopeful; recover; heal; and, ultimately, live joyful and meaningful lives. I'm Andrea Wiebe, I'm a social worker, EFT couples therapist and EMDR trauma therapist with additional specialized training in perinatal therapy. I can help. Let's connect.

This is a space for you to learn more about yourself as you embrace change, life transitions, loss, grief and personal growth. With care and curiosity we can create an inner environment that holds the potential for courage, compassionate witnessing and transformation. I assist clients in building a deep relationship with themselves, so they can live feeling more aligned and centered within and more connected to the world around them. I believe you are the expert of your lived experience and we will work collaboratively towards your desired goals.

Carl Jung stated, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” We all encounter hardships; however, I believe we can choose what we make of those experiences. Every person has the capacity for healing, growth, and change, and I am honoured to be part of that process with you. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Presenting issues I have worked with include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, emotion regulation, self-esteem, stress, burn out, and more.

Life is challenging. People often seek therapy in its most challenging moments. As your therapist, I will not only provide support, but help you derive meaning from these challenges. I work with individuals facing challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sexuality, gender identity, attachment style, interpersonal relationships, codependency, life transitions, grief, existential issues, self-harm, suicidal behaviour, and trauma.

My areas of focus & experience include: depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping behaviours (e.g. substance misuse, self-injury, excessive gaming or internet use), transitional life stages (e.g. pregnancy & postpartum, starting or finishing school, retiring), school or work stress, identity questions/self-discovery, and meaning-making & existential concerns.
