Are you ready to learn about yourself? If yes to any, then the time is NOW to SLOW down, and CONNECT to begin the healthy healing process.

I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Social Work Degree from the University of Victoria. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have over seven years experience providing support to individuals, couples, and families through challenging times. I have experienced a number of challenging situations and events in my own life that have helped to shape me into an empathic and caring professional. I understand that trauma can be experienced in many different ways and am committed to providing a safe, caring, non-judgmental space to support you

I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and couples who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively. As someone who focuses on this area of feelings work I have developed strong skills working with anxiety, BPD, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as these areas are often interconnected. Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and (at least a little bit) funny.

Currently welcoming new clients for virtual and in-person sessions. We are a collection of Psychotherapists (RP, RP(Qualifying) and Clinical interns) who specialize in providing therapy to individuals, couples and families to clients across Ontario. Please look at the gallery of photos to see each of our team members - or seek further information about each provider on our website. We work with themes of sexuality, relational challenges (individual, couple/poly or family context), communication, addiction and substance use, disordered eating, non-monogamy, interethnic partnership, grief and loss, and mental health issues.

My psychotherapy practice is anchored in normalizing and validating. With a grounding in somatic approaches and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I accompany clients through stressful life events and emotional challenges, as well as relational and personal issues. I work with individuals, couples and polyamorous relationships (including queer folks and non-romantic relationship configurations).

Accepting some new clients! You are in the right spot if you are feeling stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed in general or by life transitions. It is also the right spot for you (individually or as a couple) if you’re feeling lost in navigating your relationships; if you feel as though your needs aren’t being met; if you’re having difficulties engaging with sex and intimacy; or if you don’t know how to get “unstuck” from unhelpful patterns. Moving through life and relationships are basic parts of the human experience and yet, they can feel SO hard. Know that this is natural and it is where our work begins.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing a difficult life transition, a mental health struggle such as anxiety or depression or who want to heal from past trauma. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals for personal growth, and to help individuals live a more authentic life. Evidence-based individual therapy can increase self-awareness, resiliency and overall happiness. I work with couples experiencing turbulence in their relationship, to recover from infidelity, to recreate that spark or improve communication. I also specialize in family therapy and work with children and youth.

I often wonder why there is so much pain and suffering. I realized that what we need is not homeostasis or a tensionless state. Instead, we need the right amount of tension for change, growth, and development to take place. I had the privilege to journey with people facing different aspects of the human condition (suffering, grief, loss, meaninglessness, etc.) I am often amazed by human determination, courage, and strength in the process toward growth and development as they face life challenges. Life is full of challenges and adversity; it would be a privilege to journey with you toward a meaningful and purpose-driven life.

It is nice to meet you and welcome! In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams that you wish to move closer to attaining! I often consider myself like that of a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself. Let us work together towards that success!

Hello I am a welcoming, attentive clinician with a natural knack for relationship building. I earned my Master's degree in Counselling from Oakland University (Michigan) in 2013 and have been a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario since 2016, as well as a Member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists. I have over eight years of experience counselling individuals from predominantly person-centered and narrative approaches with specific focus placed on developing treatment to fit each client's unique needs and personality. I am confident working with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional effects of chronic pain,

Maybe you are in an important transitional time in your life and are looking to make significant shifts that require clarity and a strong sense of self.

I have been providing psychological assessment and therapy services since 1997. In private practice, I work with individuals (adults, adolescents, children), couples and families experiencing a wide range of concerns. Special areas of interest include depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, parenting, family conflict, separation and divorce. I also am experienced in working with individuals facing issues related to self, identity, and sexuality as well as unique challenges confronted by LGBTTIQQ2S individuals and their families.

My work at its core is all about building a relational connection and co-creating a safe therapeutic holding space which is informed by the relational psychotherapy and narrative therapy, and my own lived experiences as a racialized gay/queer person and also adoptive parent. Whether your struggles are small or big, what matters in this space is our joint commitment, an emotionally engaged and interactive process, and a shared journey. Our therapeutic relationship is going to be the principal vehicle to bring the changes that you are longing for in your personal and family life, as well as within your larger community.

Salut, I'm Céleste (she/they). I specialize in Queer and polyamorous counselling for individuals, couples, and dyadic ENM relationships. I also provide francophone services. As a Queer French Canadian, I bring an understanding of intersectional identities and experiences to my counseling practice.

I specialize in intensive couple therapy to create safe, and secure-functioning relationships. I explore attachment styles (developed early in life) so that couples understand why they say and do the things they do. With my guidance, couples define mutually-shared agreements that will provide a framework for operating as a team. And with this shared vision, they can learn to successfully manage any disagreements or disappointments that life may bring. My goal is to help each couple feel they are safe and secure, in each other's care, no matter the issue. I am a Level 11 PACT therapist.

Accepting New Clients! Therapy services I offer include and are not limited to: • anxiety and depression • emotional management • co-dependency issues • communication • family of origin issues • grief work • men’s issues / challenges • personal and interpersonal growth • self-esteem / self-care • stress management and much more!

It is my goal to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental and honest environment where they can feel most comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions and troubles. Much of my experience comes from working in mental health at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I have a passion for working with adolescents and adults as they develop the courage to explore their vulnerabilities on their journey towards wellness and fulfilment. My experience has allowed me to develop skills in working with depression, anxiety, grief, issues related to sexuality, emotional regulation, social fears and phobias, self-esteem and suicidal ideation.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m Alicia and would love to support you with exploring your inner world(s). I know how challenging it can be to do so and I am hopeful that by working as a team, it will bring some clarity surrounding your journey. I am passionate about helping clients find their voice and reaching a place within themselves where they feel safe and compassionate. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable to bring in any thought or concern that they would like to discuss throughout our sessions.
