Therapists in V6H

By processing past material that has become stuck in the nervous system, we can come out of being either overly activated or tuned out. Our Trauma Therapists are devoted to working holistically with those who wish to free themselves from the grips of trauma or grief and return to states of safety, connection, presence and empowerment.

Accepting new clients . Are you feeling overwhelmed ? I offer non-judgemental, down to earth sessions where you can come to be heard, to talk about what's really happening for you, to work on realistic goals, helpful tools and solutions. I have experienced a great deal of grief, trauma and anxiety in my own life. Which included a car accident, struggling with chronic pain and the death of my younger brother due to complications with kidney disease. I know how hard it is to try be strong all the time and to try to do it all alone. Reaching out for support is brave.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to make sense of your past and present experiences, wondering if there is a better way to live? I know I have. We all endure struggles at some point – it’s the cost of admission to this thing called life. At the same time, I believe that we all have innate resilience and strength to draw upon, the capacity to grow, and a desire to live authentically.

I believe all people have the capacity to heal, grow, and build a life they are proud of. I am happy to assist you in creating a life you are proud of and using therapy as a space to process what is working and what is not and areas where you may feel stuck. I am especially experienced with anxiety and burnout, childhood trauma, chronic pain, grief, and life transitions.

Welcome to Integrated Counselling and Somatic Therapy. A question for you: If you take this moment to gently pause, or slow down a little. Perhaps notice your breathing. May I ask: what is most important to you? Knowing the answer is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. It usually lights the way forward. If you are struggling with unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship or career issues or feeling dissatisfied with life, growth and healing are attainable.

Some people seek my help to deal with current life struggles, a significant loss, or a change or life transition. For some, past childhood and/or adult abuse have had long-lasting effects on who they are and how they feel in the world. Often, people are looking for help to manage better and flourish more in life. I offer individual adult therapy for these issues. As a professional with over 20 years of experience, I also offer consultation to other therapists; I welcome questions about this aspect of my practice.

I enjoy working with a diversity of clients and/or their family members who are have both mental health and substance use issues, including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance or behavioral addictions, life transitions (loss, relationships, career), and mental suffering and distress.

Are you looking for a compassionate and warm counsellor to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges? I'm Madeline and I provide a safe, trauma-informed and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and struggles. I welcome all clients and I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals and partners who are navigating relationship/family issues, life transitions, anxiety and depression, trauma, sexual violence and identity development.

My philosophy as a counsellor is founded on a collaborative approach. Together, we explore perspectives, abilities, strengths you can draw from, as well as, barriers that may be impeding, the changes you seek. We are all experts of our own lives and you possess important knowledge, skills, and abilities vital to making changes in your life. Two counselling theories I identify most with include: Narrative Therapy and Existential/Logotherapy. In 2022 I trained in EMDR. It was transcendental both experiencing it as a client and as clinician. The research behind this therapy is so robust, I have also actively integrated into practice.

We all struggle at one point or another in our lives, and asking for help can be the first step toward healing. Whatever it is you're going through, I'm here to help you discover that things aren't always as difficult as our minds may have us believe. My goal is to instill hope that things can get better and to create opportunities for growth and living as your most authentic self.

There is always space for self-improvement and growth. It is not always easy to reach out and open your heart and your life to someone. You might be going through tough times, and you might not be able to talk about it with anyone. Depression can take us to dark places and sometimes we might need a bit of a guidance and tools to be able to deal with it and understand it. There might be difficult life transitions that you can come across and you might want your life and your relationships to move to a better place.

Are you struggling with life or facing a difficult challenge? Do you have an inner critic who is just tearing you down? As your psychotherapist, I can help you eliminate those patterns or parts that have been impeding your progress, stopping you from having the life you want, you deserve. Together in a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space you can:

I am committed to generating value for clients by focusing on their abilities, goals and strengths, as well as recognizing the importance of being flexible, accessible and collaborative. I focus on a person’s individual nature and encourage them to take more of a lead in therapy so that they can discover their own solutions and use their personal intuition to find wisdom, growth, healing and fulfillment within themselves. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing space for clients to express themselves and process difficult feelings, life transitions and daily struggles.

Life can be hard at times, and our team knows that reaching out for help is not easy. That's why our counsellors are here to help you navigate whatever challenges you are facing with nothing but acceptance and understanding. At Kelsey Jarvis Counselling and Associates, we specialize in helping individuals, couples and youth deal with the highs and lows of life, which can leave us feeling anxious, stressed, unfulfilled, unmotivated and insecure. We offer support through all of life's ups and downs, no matter how big or small. From anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, and life changes; we're here for you.

Using a cutting edge combination of psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and biofeedback, I take a holistic approach to wellness which addresses the mind, brain, body, and spirit. If you or your child is stuck and unable to navigate self-defeating or unmanageable patterns of behaviour, emotion, or relationships, I have powerful tools and 15+ years of experience to help you find freedom and optimize your well being. As a counsellor, my priority is to ensure that my clients feel safe, understood, and skillfully supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. "The person is never the problem - the problem is the problem".

My practice is inclusive and non-judgmental. I am passionate about helping clients regain a sense of hope and possibility. I'm sensitive and mindful around gender, sexual orientation, race, age, spiritual beliefs, ability, body size, cultural background or identification, relationship status, and family situation. I am dedicated to using empathy, and presence to create a safe and nurturing space that supports you to learn more about your self The relationship I seek to have with you is one that is empowering, assisting you to feel respect and compassion for yourself, so that you can make the changes you desire.

Welcome! My approach to counselling is based on the belief that every person is capable of growth and change. I believe we all hold a story that has shaped us into the person we are today and a hope for what our story might look like in the future. As a counsellor, I aim to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can explore aspects of these stories and any internal or external barriers that may be keeping you stuck.

Feeling sad, stuck, anxious or unmotivated are some reasons why life sometimes feels hard. As a counsellor, I commit to you to ensure that you are met with unconditional positive regard and an evidence-based approach that will support you in your healing journey as I help you heal and become the person you want to be.

People seek out therapy because they cannot live their lives in the same way anymore. Perhaps there was a crisis, a feeling of despair, or a longing for something they have never had before. Therapy is a place to reflect on the past, explore present experiences and create change to have a different future. Therapy is not for the faint of heart, but with the right therapist, you will have a guide on your journey to knowing yourself more intimately.
