Insurance Corporation of British Columbia Therapists in Orleans, ON

I am a licensed psychotherapist (qualifying) with a master's degree in counseling psychology. I have been working in the mental health field and have experience helping individuals of all ages navigate various challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.

You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how.

IN-PERSON and ONLINE sessions are now available in Ontario and Western Quebec. Your decision to start therapy is essential for personal understanding, healing, and growth. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, addictions, sexual abuse (current or past), or are overwhelmed by events, I can help. My first objective is to provide a warm, safe, non-judgmental environment for your therapeutic experience. My second objective is to provide you with the most up-to-date, evidence-based therapeutic approaches that get actual results in the least amount of time.

We are an experienced team of mental health providers who are committed to pursuing excellence in the field of psychotherapy. Our therapists work under consultation and engage in ongoing professional development training in order to offer the best available care to our clients.

I have 12+ years experience working in coaching and psychotherapy. While working with both individuals and couples, I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental approach. I work with a range of clients and specialize in Relationship issues, Men's issues, Life Transitions, Communication, Self-esteem, Identity development, Overcoming Shame, Mood regulation and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is eclectic, meaning that one size does not fit all. I work within your paradigm to find what works for you. I work with you at your pace and using methodologies that are most suited to your needs.

Now Accepting New Clients: Do you need a therapist who actually understands how trauma impacts the body and brain, and how it affects all your relationships - especially the one with yourself? Maybe you've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just venting - but you need to learn how to actually PROCESS your emotions, not just talk about them. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've saved all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, people-pleasing and emotion regulation? Do you feel like you’re not quite good enough, you can never actually reach your goals, or you just can’t seem to do “life” right? Maybe you experienced trauma from growing up in a household with emotionally immature parents. Maybe you have late-diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, and chronic feelings of being “defective” loom over you constantly. You need a therapist who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit.

When life gets hard to deal with, it is good to have someone to talk to; Someone with the expertise, professionalism, and compassion to listen, ask the right questions to create clarity and help us find the solution or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. When dealing with mental and emotional pain, someone with the proper training and experience could be the right person to turn to. I utilize over 10 years of experience in therapy practice to the full benefit of my clients dealing with grief, depression, and anxiety, including those dealing with chronic illnesses such as cancer, as well as youth and parents'

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Are you struggling with grief, bereavement, spirituality? Are you going through a major life transition (loss of a loved one, pet loss, separation/divorce, empty nest, retirement, job loss, relocation, questioning spirituality, medical diagnosis etc)? You need an empathetic counsellor specializing in grief and bereavement to help you find new meaning in your life. I work with individuals, couples and families in person and through video sessions.

You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've watched all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck.

Now Accepting New Clients! You're a woman in your 20's or 30's with ADHD and/or anxiety.

When overwhelming emotions limit the pursuit of our responsibilities or passions in life there are effective strategies that can help regulate and minimize the emotional storms as well as provide the resilience needed to thrive in your life despite those storms. Life can be very difficult, unlike physical pain that is usually hard to ignore therefore treatment is sought after, emotional pain is unfortunately often ignored hoping it goes away. Anger, stress, anxiety, low moods, loss and relationship upheavals are all issues that can be better worked through with professional support through those storms. My name is Tim Kahtava, I

I am here to SUPPORT you because you haven't come this far to stay stuck here! Like Michael Jordan, "Obstacles do not have to stop you. You don't turn around and give up if you run into a wall. You figure out how to climb, go through, or work around it." As an experienced therapist, I can challenge you to become the best version of yourself by creating a customized treatment plan to help you achieve optimal mental health. I am accepting NEW Clients (individuals & couples).
