Therapists in Ravenna, ON

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like your thoughts and feelings have taken over control? These can be very distressing and can impact your life and overall well being. I believe that therapy/ counselling can help us tune into our experiences and provide insight that fosters healing and growth. My background is in community mental health and I offer a supportive collaborative space to be heard, work through difficult emotions and explore new perspectives and possibilities. I draw upon clinical modalities learned through my social work training including cognitive, narrative and solution-focused therapies.

Life is messy and hard and beautiful. We all need support to reach our goals and live a life of meaning. I provide free half hour consultations to discuss how I can be helpful. It's important to find the right therapist for you. My work with you will be strength-based, person-centred and collaborative. Specialties: mental health recovery, 2SLGBTQ+ adults, children, youth and families, trauma informed care, youth and adults struggling with chronic suicidality and self-harm behaviours, and support for parents with a 2SLGBTQ2S+ family member. I also have lived experience with depression, anxiety, intergenerational trauma and ADHD.

Personally and professionally, I have experienced the power of finding language that describes who we are and of being seen and supported in telling and retelling the stories that shape us. One of the ways we make sense of our experiences is through stories, both that we hold internally and that we share with others. It has been my honour and joy to join people in finding new and old meaning in their stories.

Are you navigating questions about your sexual orientation or gender identity? Are your experiencing relationship distress? Are you healing from the loss of a loved one? At Collective Care Counselling, we specialize in the following areas: trauma, grief and loss, spirituality, gender identity, transitioning, LGBTQIA2s+, perinatal mental health, OCD, BDD, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, etc.), concussions, and many other topics. All of our therapists work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.

Relationships can bring us immense joy as well as incredible pain. Sometimes the way we have been doing things isn't working and it's hard to know where to go next. I invite clients who are experiencing tough transitions, parenthood and family planning, exploring gender, queerness, or dealing with the pain that comes with anxiety, grief, and loss. I seek to support clients to connect with their authentic voice, and to try new things- to discover what might possible for them in relationships with others, and with themselves. My practice is guided by anti-oppressive, trauma informed, and harm reduction principles.

Accepting NEW patients. Are you or your child feeling: overwhelmed, stuck, or on edge? Experiencing mood swings, flashbacks or urges?

We have helped hundreds of people THRIVE in their life & we look forward to helping you too! Our professional, compassionate & experienced therapists have immediate openings for SAME day & NEXT day appointments for individual, couples & family therapy to children (5+), youth and adults.

Are you trying to move forward in life, but find yourself constantly weighed down by the past? Maybe it's your experience growing up, a toxic relationship, or something that happened to you. After hardship or trauma, the brain adapts in brilliant (though sometimes unhelpful) ways. You might find yourself feeling anxious and unable to let things go, numb and shut down, or feeling disconnected from the person you want to be and the life you want to be living. If that sounds like you, know that this doesn't have to go on forever.

When a transgender youth comes out to their family, the whole family experiences a transition. For youth, family acceptance, celebration and support are integral to feeling safe, secure, and authentically themselves at home. For parents, their child coming out as transgender means learning to reimagine a new future and gender for their child. Reimagining a child’s future can feel scary when first learning that your child is trans- parents and caregivers often worry if their child will be misunderstood or be the victim of transphobia or violence. These worries can make envisioning a future worth celebrating feel difficult for parents

As a racialized, non-binary Muslim immigrant from Pakistan, my specialty includes the intersection of queerness and racialization. I also excel with clients who occupy diasporic identities, identify as immigrants or children of immigrants, and want to discuss intergenerational connections and traumas. As a radical therapist, I intentionally include a macro perspective in the work I do; this can mean acknowledging oppressive systems including imperialism, capitalism, and colonialism and how they make it difficult to establish resilient and communal mental health.

In my practice, I work closely with clients aged 10-25 as they navigate the complexities of adolescence. I specialize in supporting them through challenges such as identity formation, interpersonal conflicts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, depression, authenticity, and personal expression. My approach fosters a queer-inclusive safe space, offering validation and empathy. Together, we focus on building resilience, self-esteem, and coping skills, while also cultivating an embodied understanding of healthy emotional regulation.

Pronouns: he/him or they/them. Reaching out can be difficult, but I am glad to see that you did. I am queer, transgender, autistic, and have ADHD. These intersecting identities shape my experiences and influence my therapy approach. I work with clients from Ontario and Saskatchewan. I aim to create a comfortable space for you to navigate your thoughts and emotions. As someone who has accessed mental health services, I know how important it is to feel heard by your therapist. Because of this, I work with you to ensure you are feeling effectively supported and comfortable. Social media: Tik Tok and Instagram: rainbowgalaxyocunselling

We are human beings, but when caught up in our busy lives, we sometimes turn into human doings. It can be challenging to be present when your schedules are full, or you get swept off by external and internal forces. I have the honour to work with individuals and families challenged by anxiety, depression, experiences of oppression and marginalization. I support folks who may be misunderstood or troubled by negative thoughts. I believe everyone has the power to heal from within and healing may look different for each individual. I am grateful to accompany you on this healing journey. We all have the right to thrive.

Congratulations on taking this step! We may be a good fit if you're looking for someone with a conversational, laid-back style. I enjoy sharing the science behind our discussions, but also use humour, and provide different perspectives. I show up as my authentic self so that you also feel comfortable to do so. Feeling safe is essential, so I work hard to create a space that is welcoming and non-judgemental. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress-management, self-esteem, burnout and life transitions. Many of my clients have received a recent diagnosis or are otherwise on a journey of finding themselves.

It can be difficult to reach out for support when we feel as though we are caught in the currents of life. Perhaps you've momentarily lost track of your anchor and don't know how to find your way back or maybe you've been floating in the ocean for as long as you remember. Your circumstances and experiences are unique, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. I strive to use my professional training and unique insight from my lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can be free to explore your identity, experiences and internal processes.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in celebrating 2SLGBTQ identities, neurodivergence, harm reduction, building a better relationship with your body and eating, and unpacking the impacts of trauma. If you tend to intellectualize your emotions and struggle to really feel them, my somatic and arts-based approach may work for you. You may already have a clear idea of what you'd like to discuss in therapy - or you may not! Either way is more than welcome.

Hello! I offer virtual counseling and other supports for adults and youth aged 12+. As a white, neurodivergent, trans, genderqueer pagan with a delayed sleep cycle, I’ve created Night Owl Counseling to be the mutually accessible, anti-oppressive, culturally humble, difference-affirming space I'd always wished for myself. My skillset goes beyond mental health support, because the mind is interconnected with every other part of us. I can also provide life skills coaching, help with accessing other systems, or even develop a long-term plan for your ideal future.

Every single person, no matter their challenges or situation, has intrinsic value and worth. This is why I believe it is vital to work from a strengths-based stance, and why I spend the time to assess everyone's individual talents, skills, and unique strengths. I believe diversity is beautiful, and that part of my role is to collaborate with your personal knowledges. I utilize an anti-oppressive lens to better understand how systems and power structures impact your life, and work to help you navigate this world. Everyone is deserving of supportive, safe health care.

With 8+ years of experience helping clients overcome a wide range of anxiety disorders, I'm prepared to teach you effective ways of improving the thoughts and behaviors that are stopping you from living the life you'd like to live. Struggling with intrusive thoughts, or rituals you can't resist doing? Skin picking and/or hair pulling? Experiencing distressing emotions, or trying to heal from trauma or loss? Perhaps you're questioning your sexuality or navigating your gender identity? With years of clinical practice in all of the above, you can conquer your symptoms beside someone who knows what the best tools to use are.
