Therapists in Dunrobin, ON

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and those around you? Do you feel like there's more to life than what you're living? Busy schedules and daily routines make it difficult for us to get to know who we truly are and reconnect to the things that were once important. My work with clients often explores relationships, finding meaning and purpose, life transitions, femininity, overcoming anxiety, cultivating authentic self-expression, and developing intuition and confidence. I work with you to deepen your relationship with yourself and reconnect to what you desire most so you can reclaim your power and live a meaningful life.

Welcome adults and older teens who struggle to feel good enough. Do you feel disconnected from your authentic self, and like you need to please everyone else? Do you feel stuck in certain patterns of thinking or being? In a performance-driven world, our human needs for connection, identity and dignity are too often sacrificed. I invite you to engage in a therapeutic process that will center your humanity, and that will reconnect you to your emotions and your inherent wisdom. By paying attention to all the ways your body speaks to you, you can find the answers you seek. Every part of you is welcome and honoured here.

Welcome! As a queer therapist and artist, I’m guided by my mixed English, Irish, Franco-Ontarian, and Anishinaabe ancestry. I would be honoured to walk with you on your journey, offering a supportive, open, and empathetic environment for exploring your experiences and inherent wisdom. My practice is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and client-centered. Whether you're navigating overwhelming emotions, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, substance use, or mood disorders, my commitment is to create a compassionate and safe space for untangling these challenges.

Are you feeling lost or burned out, or looking for deeper meaning in your life? Do you have difficult experiences or memories which are impacting your day to day life? Have you experienced trauma, a chronic illness in your past or present, or are you a caregiver, caring for others? Are you feeling lost or stuck, and looking to reconnect to your creativity to find a way out?

I believe most people can benefit from art therapy. There are many reasons someone might be interested in trying art therapy. Art therapy is a place to bring whatever needs voice and movement in the moment. One common intention for those seeking therapy is that they hope to feel/see change. The art making itself acts as tangible evidence for that change. We can literally see where we started, how far we have come and where we are currently.

Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others, find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness and peace of mind. If you are recovering from trauma, if you are stuck or struggling, therapy can create a safe space to work through painful and difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion and relational therapy.

Is life feeling like it is too much? Are your regular ways of managing stressors and emotions not working as well as they used to? Perhaps you have an idea of what the event or issue is, or you are currently still moving through the process of change. Mental health and everyday stress can compound and it resonates in our relationships, work or school, and our ability to cope. If this sounds like you, I can help. I am a trained psychotherapist with specialties in art therapy, somatics, and trauma informed methods. I am also trained in EMDR.

You know what you want, but you're not sure how to get there. Or perhaps you're not sure what you want, but it sure as heck isn't this. Perhaps you feel stuck because of painful memories or negative beliefs about yourself. Or it's hard enjoy life because you feel anxious, worried, scared or sad much of the time. Ugh, I get it! Life is hard sometimes.

At some point in our lives, everyone struggles with issues that feel overwhelming; sometimes we find solutions on our own, and there are times when we might need support from someone who is trained to help. If you are looking for help that is expert, confidential and tailored to your needs, contact me directly: 613-620-3642, info@chirucounselling.ca My office is based in Manotick (Ottawa South), 20-30 minutes drive from Barrhaven, Nepean, Casselman, Metcalf, Winchester, Kemptville.

You have a power within you to overcome obstacles, and thrive within the life you want for yourself. Starting counselling can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming, and that is okay. At Art of Thriving I help to create space where we can go on a journey together towards building a stronger relationship with yourself, uncovering the power that lives within you, and building towards your goals. If you are looking to decrease your stress, build a healthier and more loving relationship with your body and soul, and embark on a journey designed specifically for you, then you’re in right place.

I am a white, queer, cisgender man and settler. I value authenticity and strive to be collaborative, warm, playful, curious, and compassionate in my work with clients. I invite you to also bring any parts of yourself to our shared therapy space - the hurt, the hidden, the hopeful, and whoever else we may discover. My approach to care is rooted in intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed frameworks. Some specializations of mine include anxiety, depression, grief, perfectionism, relationship challenges, queer experiences, identity exploration, HIV/AIDS, and trauma. I work with children, youth, adults, and older adults.

I have worked with clients for over 30 years, and recently retired from the role of Clinical Director at a counselling agency to focus on a small private practice. I work in a relaxed atmosphere, out of my home, in the woods, which suits my counselling style well. Over the years I have worked with people with varying needs, including people who have experienced trauma, including childhood trauma, workplace trauma and war trauma. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I specialize in working with people who are willing to go beyond the surface to explore their own spiritual and personal growth.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I believe we all can create change in our lives and this is your first step. Whether you are an individual or a couple and have one goal or many, we will work with them at your own pace. As we are all unique, I work from a person-centred approach. How we think about ourselves and others can sometimes hold us back from living a fulfilled life aligned with our values. Let's work together so you can begin to feel empowered and move towards wellness. I will meet you where you are today, collaborate with you and walk alongside you as you begin or continue your healing journey.
