Feminist Therapists in Brampton, ON

For the last 6 years, I have worked with survivors of trauma - including sexual violence, familial violence, racial trauma, homophobia, among others - to address and process their experiences. My approach to therapy is warm, responsive, playful and transparent. I believe that every person benefits from learning about themselves, and that understanding the process of therapy helps with learning about the self. I meet you where you are (literally, in some ways, as I am offering digital therapy), and believe we can move from there. I want therapy to be useful, and welcome honesty, feedback, and laughter in session.

Welcome to Olive Tree Counselling and Psychotherapy! I believe the tree is a great metaphor for helping clients understand how their current difficulties are often rooted in earlier experiences. Like the olive tree, I believe people are inherently resilient and capable of thriving in spite of the challenges they may face. Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience, but I can offer a safe and empathetic space for you to gain insight into and process past hurts, explore healthier ways to cope, live a more meaningful and authentic life, and learn how to communicate your needs and boundaries with others.

Carrying around the weight and impacts of trauma, negative self-talk, and heavy suppressed emotions can be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. Having someone actively listen without placing blame, shame, guilt, or judgment can be the support needed when you're struggling to cope. Taking the first step towards healing and returning to yourself is acknowledging that you don't have to carry the weight alone. It would be an honour to join you on your journey towards self-discovery, healing and wellness by shining light on the power of your vulnerability, resiliency, and strengths.

A safe space to explore emotions, feelings, and perspectives without judgment. That’s what you can expect from each session with Angeli Sareen, MSW RSW, who has built her practice on a foundation of compassion and understanding. Every interaction is conducted through an empathetic lens, allowing clients to embark fully on their healing journey in an environment that is comfortable and welcoming. Angeli supports her clients with developing strong interpersonal communication skills so they can feel at ease when expressing their emotions to themselves, friends, and loved ones.

I am currently accepting new clients! - Are you a preteen, teen or young adult that feels as if life is kicking your butt? You don't know how to feel with the stress and anxiety of everyday life? Or, you don't know how to make the right plans to set you up for the rest of your life? Going through life is tough, and sometimes no-one else understands, or will not give the time of day to listen. This may lead to depression, barriers in your everyday life, and just an overall overwhelming sense of being. All of these challenges are difficult, but very real. Your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours are all valid!

Have you ever found yourself questioning if life is truly meant to be this way? Are you on a journey towards understanding your trauma, seeking a life free from mental overwhelm? I am a specialized mental health and trauma clinician with a focus on Complex Trauma, intimate partner abuse, anxiety, and relationship issues. My practice serves individuals aged 18 and above, as well as seniors aged 65 and older. I employ a range of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I deeply believe in the power of individual agency.

When you are so focused on simply getting through each day, it can be easy to begin to lose yourself, forgetting who you are, and what you want. Therapy can be a doorway to healing from past trauma and discovering yourself anew. You can learn to find peace and balance in your life, and cultivate a deeper understanding of what care you need, and how much support you can give to others. I offer therapy for people struggling with trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, post-partum mental health concerns, ADHD, Autism, and newcomers to Canada who want to talk about this big life change.

Everyone embarks on unique journeys involving various overwhelming challenges including emotional and mental health issues, substance abuse and relationship issues. My colleagues and I fully understand that when two or more people cope with similar circumstances, no two minds function alike. Therefore, my services instill clients with how to love themselves through comprehensive, mental, emotional and spiritual enrichment regardless of their age, social or ethnic background, or physical capacities. Overall, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing clients reach self-actualization by gaining strength, confidence and empowerment to confront their own inner conflicts "for we all smile in the same language".

Our mission at Exalted Mind & Wellness is to support individuals in providing psychological, emotional/mental care to heal and improve your life. The name Aliya, translates to "Exalted" "One who climbs upwards", a meaning that has played an important role throughout my journey. When one struggles with mental health concerns, they often feel down and not like themselves; nor may they view themselves in positive regards, our vision is to empower every individual through to "ascend forward" and strengthen their abilities to overcome their mental health challenges, and to start viewing themselves positively climbing upwards.
