Therapists in Ilderton, ON

Accepting new clients at this time: Over 20 years of experience guides my work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. I work to be easy to talk to and non-judgmental. Each person is different and together we'll find what works for you.

As a registered psychotherapist, I have 23 years of experience working with clients struggling with their mental health. My career started in 2000 when I began working with clients with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, personality disorders, somatic disorders, chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, PTSD, and survivors of sexual abuse and assault in private and community clinics. Over the years, I have also accumulated continuing education in family and couple therapy as often mental health influences or relates to our interpersonal relationships.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards wellness by looking for help. I can promise you that if selected I am committed to helping you navigate the ups and downs of your life. Being a Psychotherapist isn't just a job for me; it's my passion. Through my own life experiences as a wife, mother, daughter, and friend, I've gained deep insights that I will bring to the table. These insights along with my formal education will help me relate better to your joys and challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you better.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple, or family who want(s) to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals (such as emotional and interpersonal wellness) aimed at supporting a sustained improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated (with an eye toward resolution), or aimed at sustained long-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My ideal client is simply someone who wants to improve the quality of their life in a way that is meaningful to them.

Do you feel anxious often, reliving events from your past or worrying about the future? Perhaps you second-guess yourself, struggling with your own mental wellness, your relationships, or family stress. That’s a miserable way to live, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Even when things seem like they will never improve, know that you can create and experience a happier future for yourself. You deserve not only to feel better, but to wake up every morning ready to enjoy the day. I can’t make that happen for you, but I can be your guide and show you the way to find happiness for yourself.

Life is difficult. Complex circumstances hit us all, often resulting in a diminished ability for us to live life to its fullest. Unresolved emotional pain and trauma can give rise to depression, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, and abuse of self and others. By Peaceful Waters therapists combine our professional training and our Christian faith to bring healing and restoration to spiritual, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational hurts. We offer a safe, non-judgmental and empathetic environment, nourishing hope and healing, in which the whole person is valued, affirmed and empowered, not just to survive but to thrive.

Are you navigating the aftermath of toxic relationships or trying to heal from past traumas? Maybe you are noticing unhealthy patterns that you'd like to break? Are you saying sorry too much, feel like its unfair, and don't know how to stop? This can cause low self-esteem, hard time trusting others, and people-pleasing. The overthinking, feeling on edge, anxiousness, can be exhausting. Together, we will explore and process your experiences, develop healthier relationship patterns, and help you regain a sense of inner peace. As a team, let's work on what is bothering you. You no longer have to keep it in or deal with it alone.

Bernadette Street, clinical supervisor and director of Street Therapy, has over 13 years of experience working with children, youth and adults. Street Therapy is a group practice, providing mental health services for clients across the lifespan. Our practitioners come from diverse academic, religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds, practicing within the neurodiversity and anti-oppressive frameworks. We strive to provide a safe space for clinicians and clients alike to explore and engage in collaborative, and respectful, psychotherapeutic relationships.

I employ assessments to gain insight into the unique needs of my clients. Together, we collaboratively define achievable goals, laying the foundation for our work ahead. By offering a combination of psychoeducation and unwavering support, I guide clients on their journey toward realizing these goals. Struggling to identify the right goals is a common challenge. Many individuals falter in achieving their aspirations because their goals are often framed in ways that are unattainable. Drawing upon my expertise, I specialize in assisting individuals in discerning practical and manageable steps that align with their deepest desires.

I believe that when we come to therapy, we have the potential to heal ourselves. We are the masters of our own paths in life. It’s the circumstances in our lives—such as our social environment and various other factors—which can prevent us from living up to our full potential. I believe that through therapy, these hidden potentials can be realized. As a therapist, I act as a facilitator to help my clients see what they already have inside of them, foster self-acceptance, and help them reach their life goals through discovery of the self and of one’s own strengths.
