Internet Addiction Therapists in St Jacobs, ON

Sometimes we find ourselves on a journey in life that we didn't expect to find our self on. It can be confusing and stressful and sometimes painful. With some guidance, and some tools to help you manage, you can get yourself on a better path. My areas of specialization are marriage/couples, behavioural based addictions, spouses/partners of addicts, general stress and situational issues. I can be reached at 226-486-1048.

I specialize in ADHD & Autism Lvl. 1 and also have experience working with social & general anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidal feelings, substance abuse, video game addiction, stress, and relationship concerns (family, romantic, and friendships). Working with neurodivergent kids, adults, couples, & families is very important to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and struggled a lot without proper support. I get how frustrating navigating the mental health and education systems can be and want to support others in learning to harness their amazing abilities and make lasting positive change.

Change, whether chosen or imposed, can be one of the most challenging of life's gifts. Working as a Therapist in the addiction and mental health field for 25 years has allowed me the privilege of working with individuals who, like me, face some difficulties that are seemingly too complex to work out on their own. Finding the right person to explore such sensitive and personal issues is no easy feat which is why providing an authentic and non-judgmental space is at the heart of my therapy practice. I am accepting new clients for in-person and online therapy! Please visit www.willthrivetherapy.com for more information.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Please check back in late Spring 2024. Thank you for taking the first step and reaching out. Making change can be hard and many times we cannot do it alone. I support adults looking for support with their mental health or addiction concerns. Some key groups I support including perinatal mental health, those living with trauma, and specialize in the area of emotion dyregulation concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder. I have a particular interest in helping other helpers, including First Responders, medical professionals, and fellow mental health workers.

Hope, not a word usually associated to counseling. However, many people seek and find it through counseling. I believe all of us want to feel more hopeful and happy in our lives. Welcome to Quality Counseling and Therapy. Seeking help takes courage so congratulations on your bravery. All relationships have ups and downs. Let us help you "ride the roller coaster" of the relationship. Relationships are worth the time and energy invested. Together we can help you recapture your sense of hope and joy whether you are a couple, family, adolescent or individual.

I acknowledge the profound vulnerability that comes with sharing personal stories, particularly those involving trauma, illness, grief, addiction, or depression. Creating a secure, compassionate, and respectful space is my priority. I am deeply attuned to the individual needs of each person and strive to establish trust through active listening and unwavering support. I rely on evidence-based techniques and approaches that are aimed at empowering you to unlock your true potential. I adopt a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of balance and optimal health

Some of the concerns I often help clients with include: depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma (of many kinds), self-endangerment, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, LGBTQ2S+, sexuality and gender identity, and more. Wherever you might be in the process of working through those issues (or others) is where we will pick up. I am passionate about providing hope and helping clients to reexamine limiting beliefs in a way that helps them achieve their goals. I work with an admin team through Spacious Mind Counselling.com to ensure a quick reply to your emails if you would like to reach out.

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

Life can challenge us in ways that leave us feeling overwhelmed and in emotional pain. Sometimes we need help to get back on track. Counselling is an opportunity to feel safe, respected, heard and appreciated for who you really are. It is a place to get perspective on your life, learn coping skills and to explore solutions that work for you.

Reach out and we can work through it together. The easiest way to view my availability and book an appointment is through our website (chettiarcounselling.ca) or you can email if you have any questions about the process.

Life rarely goes according to plan, and in our most difficult times, many of us have not had the support and tools needed to navigate losses, transitions, and traumas. My role is to help you find your way through hardship, while expanding your capacity to meet challenges from a place of resilience and acceptance. Your struggles are not due to your own inadequacy; rather, I believe all behaviour makes sense on some level, when viewed from the right perspective. I work from a holistic stance that accounts for the individual, cultural, and societal factors affecting each of us uniquely, and therefore requires a personalized approach.

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'

Do you feel “numb”, overwhelmed, trapped, or defeated by life? Do these feelings make it hard to show up for the people you care about in your life? Feeling like you haven't “figured out” while you struggle can lead to feeling confused, angry, and ashamed that you're not “good enough”. These feelings can result in addictions, workaholism, low self-esteem, depression, relationship/family issues, and hopelessness. Talking with a therapist can help calm overthinking, provide a sense of hope, and can give you the chance to share what's really on your mind.
