Therapists in Ontario

During difficult times of crisis and uncertainty - I encourage everyone to be aware of their mental health and be intentional with self-care. Having access to a clinical counsellor is not something you need to sacrifice as a result of social distancing. Sessions can be offered via phone or secure video conferencing. Online booking is available at www.nadiahovencamp.com

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Parenting Coach. I have educated and supported families for almost 30 years throughout Simcoe County. I am the owner of In Support Of Children Counselling where I provide individual and family counselling to children, teens, parents and families. I believe that knowledge is power and therefore my focus is to educate my clients by teaching them strategies and coping tools that will help them cope more effectively. I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. My website is - insupportofchildren.com

It's painful watching your child struggle, be disconnected, or lost in their day to day. Is there constant arguing or impulsive behaviours at home or school? Is your family simply going through a change, and you're not sure the best way to support your child through this? We can work together to empower and nurture your child's strengths, let them further discover themselves and add positive coping skill/behaviours to express their emotions in a safe and healthy way. If you are feeling stuck or settled in areas of your life? Struggling with anxiety, depression and self worth? Roadblocks in your relationships or career?

Clients with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and broken relationships find my person-centered approach helpful. I listen and guide one's feelings so that the root of the problem surfaces for healing. Planning goals together gives the best outcome. Choosing to take notes and following through with home work always gives an advantage to progress to meeting goals.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are experiencing a variety of life transitions and challenges. A stressful life event, sudden change, or recent loss can make it feel like the ground has fallen out from under you. My work is centred around helping you increase self-understanding, process difficult feelings, memories or experiences, and expand your coping abilities. Together we will establish a therapeutic space that feels safe to explore how to move towards a more balanced present.

Childhood is often thought of as a magical time. The reality is that many kids face problems that leave them feeling worried, scared, angry, sad or confused. This can be difficult and heart breaking for parents trying their best to connect with and support their child. Very often, despite a caregiver’s best effort to learn more and help solve the problem, a child’s response is “I don’t know”. Play therapy can help provide children with the tools they need to express their thoughts and explore their inner world.

I am a Child and Family Therapist with over two decades of experience helping children, adolescents and adults (ages 4 and up) to develop or enhance their coping skills, tools and strategies to successfully manage life's challenges. I have a warm and engaging style that enables me to quickly connect with children, build a trusting relationship, and help them to develop the skills and abilities they need to succeed. I've worked at various Children's Mental Health Centres in Toronto prior to starting a private practice. I would be happy to be a part of your child/family's journey and a catalyst to their change/success.

If you are struggling to cope with challenges that people don’t understand or can’t be fixed or changed and you tried lots of therapy and modality and are still struggling, this may be helpful for you. I am a clinical social worker and believe that therapy is a gradual journey that brings growth, held within the safety container of the therapist and client. I treat depression, general and social anxiety, panic disorder and OCD and I am specialized in treating Trauma, loss, abuse, sexual assault, and C-PTSD symptoms.

My clients are often…1) Individuals struggling with anxiety, racing thoughts, and high stress, 2) Young professionals navigating the stressors of life transitions, relationship issues or family drama, the weirdness of being in their 20’s & early 30’s, all whilst trying to build their career and find success, 3) Men of all ages navigating relationship issues, anxiety, career change or other stressors, 4) individuals who struggle to set boundaries, articulating their needs or building confidence and 5) those looking for a therapist that doesn’t feel stuffy, formal or daunting - someone they can be comfortable with and

Hello and welcome! Being a parent can be frustrating, lonely, draining and confusing. At the same time, being a child/teen is also so confusing, stressful and overwhelming much of the time. While these relationships can be a source of pain, our connection to each other is also essential to our well-being. I work with children, teens and parents to help understand, work through and heal from pain and rebuild joy through connection. I will spend a lot of time really getting to know you and your family’s story. I aim to be compassionate and non-judgmental, understanding we all have a good reason for why we do the things we do.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I want to offer my admiration to you for looking for another option in managing all that is going on in your life right now. I suspect that this was not an easy decision, but it is a decision that speaks about your commitment to yourself and possibly those who are important to you. I would like to offer you a confidential and supportive environment, where you can speak about your struggles without fear of the judgements by family, friends or others who you interact with daily. Together, we can explore new ways of coping, or refresh some skills that have been put aside in the past.

We're welcoming new clients! If you're experiencing feelings of being lost, disconnected from your true self, or seeking guidance to navigate your current situation, we're here for you! At Shakti Wellness, we embrace the Sanskrit concept of "Shakti," meaning "strength." We believe that every individual holds the ability to shape their desired life by harmonizing their perspective, aligning the heart and brain/mind. Our approach incorporates a range of evidence-based methods including narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and artistic expression.

Do you find past trauma affecting your day-to-day life? Are you looking for a safe space to discuss challenges you might struggle to put into words? Perhaps it’s hard to recognize the roots of uncomfortable feelings and everyday struggles, but you know you don’t want to feel the way you do. I started ThriveWell Counselling in 2017, with the unwavering belief in the possibilities of moving from Surviving to Thriving. As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), EMDR Certified Therapist and Clinic Owner, I believe that counselling and psychotherapy are often an integral part of healing and learning to not only thrive, but to thrive well!

You deserve support to achieve your full potential, live well, reach your goals, and heal from trauma. That’s where I come in as a clinician, advocate and specialized system navigator. I can ensure you and your loved ones are getting services that will improve you quality of life immensely. Throughout twenty-years of clinical experience, I have counselled folks dealing with domestic violence, finances, depression, anxiety, addictions, coping issues, family conflict, gender and sexual identity, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, and more.

I understand the courage it takes to begin and commit to therapy, and that is why my first goal is to provide you with a safe and validating environment to share your experiences. Often we reach out for help with the goal of eliminating discomfort, however, I have found that the most significant gains in therapy come from facilitating a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. Being curious about our thoughts and emotions, and how they influence us, can be the first step in feeling empowered and meeting needs which may have been neglected for some time.

We provide assessment and treatment services across the lifespan with a Psychologist, Clinical Social Workers, and Occupational Therapists. We work with children, teens, and their families, as well as adults. Many of our clients are neurodiverse, have had some challenges in neurodevelopment, and have anxiety or depression. We help individuals better understand themselves from a neurocognitive and emotional health perspective, and provide therapy services within a multidisciplinary setting to address each person's unique needs (e.g., mood/ anxiety issues; emotional regulation; executive functioning; coping with sensory issues).

It takes courage to begin taking steps toward starting therapy. Has your life become too overwhelming and stressful to manage alone? Are you grieving? Trust me, I have been there too, and feeling anxious and fearful is normal. As your therapist, I will walk with you on your healing journey. A safe and supportive ambiance would be created where we can share openly and address your concerns. I would like to help you, especially if you are experiencing relationship/identity issues, anxiety, grief, or trauma. If you are open to working with me, together we could develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique goals.

Welcome to The Sacred Self Wellness Collective! We hold a deep passion for supporting you as they move toward growth and change. We will strive to nurture and empower you by getting you in touch with what is blocking you-fears, hurts, unhelpful thought patterns, emotional wounds, and so forth. Our clinicians have worked with countless individuals to help them shine, and have experience addressing various issues including low self-esteem, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, addictions, infertility, and trauma. As an exclusively online practice, we provide accessible, compassionate psychotherapeutic care to residents of Ontario, Canada.

It's undeniable that life is hard. It's filled with difficulties that we don't always know how to navigate and that make us feel stuck. Another undeniable truth is that there's help + support along the way, and it's possible to feel unstuck. I view therapy as a journey helping you find healing and solutions to your struggles within yourself. My mission as a therapist is to help Black and racialized people navigate life's challenges and uncertainties with more understanding, acceptance, flexibility, and resilience—whether you're dealing with family, romantic relationships, work/school, friendships, or your relationship with yourself.
