Family Therapy in T2N

Anxiety, depression, self-harm and relationship problems can cause distress - just getting by day to day can be tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Family and friends urge us to get over it, stop talking about it! But, you need to talk. I care and I am here to help. Together we can find a solution and make the changes that will make a difference in your life. Together we will work towards making life less stressful, overwhelming and more enjoyable! If you can't come to me, I will come to you!

Do you want to gain a better understanding of who you are and what gets you into trouble? Then Corbiell Counselling & Consulting may be a great fit for you! Specializing in addictions, mental health concerns, trauma, & interpersonal relationship problems, my goal is to help my clients begin living healthy meaningful lives as quickly as possible.

As a fellow immigrant with a Bachelor's in Sociology and a Master's in Counselling Psychology, I bring over 13 years of experience in human resources and career advising specifically tailored for immigrants. I deeply understand the unique struggles you face—from the complexities of adjusting to a new culture to the pressures of re-establishing your career while supporting your family. Immigrants endure a distinctive blend of stressors that encompass not only professional aspirations but also the very essence of personal and social life.

I envision helping clients wanting to address mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, or addiction. Their goal may be to alleviate symptoms, develop coping strategies, and improve overall well-being. Clients experiencing relationship issues, whether with a partner, family member, or friend, to improve communication, resolve conflicts, or navigate challenging relationship dynamics. Clients going through life transitions such as starting school, changing careers, getting married, becoming a parent, or retiring. A desire to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their values, and their life purpose.

I believe that all people are capable of positive change, of overcoming challenges, of finding compassion, and of becoming the best that they can be. As a Registered Psychologist, I work alongside my clients to help them create meaningful and sustainable change in their lives and relationships. I have extensive experience in community and mental health settings and offer therapeutic services in both English and Spanish. I work with individuals, couples, and families to identify their counselling goals and help them achieve those goals in a strengths-based, non-judgmental and empathetic manner.

At times, life can feel distressing, overwhelming, or seem to push your goals and dreams further away. Whether you are working to overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting or family problems, illness or other concerns, I believe I can support you in creating wellness in your life. I work with children, teens and adults, drawing interventions from cognitive behavioral, narrative, attachment-focused, and play therapy models. To support school-aged children with academic, social or emotional concerns, I also provide parent coaching and psychoeducational assessments so your child can achieve the best possible personal outcomes.

Is your child struggling with social, emotional, or behavioural issues? Are you as a parent or family member also struggling with how best to support your child or adolescent during this uncertain time? If so, I can help. I am a Registered Psychologist, with many years experience working with children and adolescents in mental health facilities, schools, and private practice. I enjoy working with youth, parents, and families who are struggling with a variety of challenges: ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, social skills deficits, learning challenges, parenting skills, and behavioural techniques.

I enjoy helping others and have over 15 years experience in the helping professions. I work with adults, children and families and specialize in trauma, neurodiversity, family conflict, parenting, anger and self regulation. I am also skilled in helping those who choose to use violence in their relationships. I work from both a trauma informed and attachment based lens.

I acknowledge how much strength and courage it takes to meet with a Psychologist to work through life's challenges. I recognize the importance of building a strong therapeutic connection that is client-centered, empathetic, respectful, and non-judgmental. My counselling style is collaborative and promotes empowerment by increasing self-awareness, highlighting strengths, facilitating growth and development, and honouring one's own insights. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with a diverse range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, life transition, self-esteem, body image, eating issues, relationship challenges, family of origin issues, career counselling, and grief.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a variety of settings. I am experienced in working with individuals of all ages who are battling with childhood traumas (sexual/physical abuse), and who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as Tourettes, ADHD/ADD, Fetal Alcohol Effect, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and OCD. I have over a decade of experience working with families in crisis, parent/teen conflict, relationship/marriage difficulties, custody/access conflict, addictions, survivors of sexual/physical abuse, depression, and anger management issues.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a greater sense of well-being, fulfillment and success through working collaboratively to develop better personal awareness, overcome limitations and implement effective practical strategies so that clients can live more inspired and purposeful lives. My passions include: counselling and coaching people through career, business, sport, and life transitions; effectively managing anxiety and depression; relationship, family, and workplace challenges; and developing communication and leadership skills.

Onward Psychology Group focuses on supporting a wide range of children, adolescents, and adults (and their families) . We believe that we are all complex, life-long learners, but that some people are more complex than others. Anxiety, giftedness, social and academic challenges, and any number of other complexities can result in frustration that affects not only the individual, but the entire family. We focus on discovering the unique strengths of each individual so we can capitalize on those areas while also identifying areas of challenge so we can build on or, as necessary, plan to avoid those areas.

It is my privilege to bear witness to your healing journey. I believe that people are the catalyst for the change they desire, and my role is to support that change in a way that feels meaningful to you. My counselling approach is flexible and creative, with an emphasis on the importance of therapeutic connection. I am truly passionate about working with adolescents, teens, and families. I bring to you an open, accepting, safe space to support your healing journey. I have over 18 years of experience working in the mental health field with children, adolescents/teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings.

Therapy offers us the opportunity to have the support we need to examine those areas of our lives we find painful, confusing, and challenging. My goal is to help you through any difficulties you are experiencing so that you can have better relationships and feel better about yourself. Topics of interest include depression and anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, self-harming behaviour, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, as well as pet loss.

My training is varied, and I work in an integrative way, connecting mind, body, and soul. My perspective on helping and healing draws from a blend of psychology approaches as well as a variety of complementary and alternative philosophies, such as mindfulness. A key foundation of all the work is based in trauma-informed practice. Being an integrative therapist and having a broad range of training is beneficial. It allows me to draw from a toolbox to develop inclusive, effective, and individualized treatment plans to best meet the needs of my clients.

In life, we can find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect or anticipate. Life can become difficult and overwhelming to manage at times. In such moments, it can be helpful to seek support from someone who might help unearth possibilities and support you in finding healthier and adaptive ways to manage and cope. It is my belief that developing a strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to therapeutic success. Through mutual respect, genuine empathy, and trust, individuals can be seen and heard, and encouraged to create the changes they want in their lives.

Whether it's anxiety from relationships, pressure from work, or a disconnect between your values and decisions, we all can feel lost at times. Maybe you know exactly where you desire change, or you are uncertain and don't know where to start, I'm here to help! My goal is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that often feels eluding. Together we can re-gain a sense of control as no matter what's led you here, I believe in the human capacity to adapt and grow with the right support.

Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist, it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory.

I have over 20 years of counselling experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings. I have experience working with clients struggling with a diverse range of issues including life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, anger, family of origin issues and substance abuse. I admire the courage it takes to seek counselling to work through life’s challenges. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate environment that is built on respect, warmth, openness and honesty.
