I am a clinical psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to help them achieve their optimal mental health. I especially love working with children and teens, and I have extensive experience with this age group. I am excited to offer a variety of creative approaches to help engage youth of any age.

I aim to help clients process and deal with their experiences, heal, make appropriate and meaningful changes for their future, and become the best versions of themselves through therapy. I am focused on providing therapy through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, culturally sensitive, and informed lens to all persons inclusive of BIPOC, minority, and immigrant communities.

Hello and welcome! Do you find it easier being kind to others than yourself? You're not alone. A lot of us experience a lack of self-kindness. Mindful self-compassion teaches us to treat ourselves with the same care and understanding we would have for a friend having a difficult time. A lack of self-compassion can show up as perfectionism, constantly striving to be better. Even if we achieve our high standards, we feel let down. This can lead to the feelings of low self-esteem and self-worth often experienced by high achievers. Does this sound familiar? If so, it’s possible to change these patterns if you're ready.

Feeling stuck? Anxious? Can't concentrate? Not knowing which way to turn and feeling like you're watching yourself go through the motions but not actually living those moments? What you are experiencing could be due to a loss or change in your life, causing feelings of grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. You may be seeking help for your child or teen's anxiety or behavioural issues. I want you to know there is hope for you and/or your children and there is help to move forward and reconnect with your life again. I can offer that help.

My goal is to help clients challenge limiting beliefs and work towards their ideal selves. I am currently offering one-on-one coaching for weight loss but feel free to reach out for a consult if you are interested in coaching for any life goals, health related or otherwise. Stay tuned for my group weight loss program starting in the fall! My coaching approach is based on a Cognitive behavioral model and uses my background in hypnosis, mindfulness/meditation, parts work, goal setting and habit development to guiding you to create the life that you deserve.

Are you a parent who wants support on how to parent your child who is struggling with their mental health? Is your child or teen struggling with behavioural challenges and big emotions at home and or at school? My passion is working with parents, children and youth to help them understand the root of their child’s behaviours and how to address them in a way that strengthens parents relationship with their children. There is so much conflicting information on how to help your child. I will work together with you to develop a plan that works for your particular family. You are not meant to figure this out on your own.

I help stressed out postpartum moms become the mother they want to be, and I help women who have gone through sexual abuse regain confidence and get their life back. The birth of your baby didn't go as planned and you feel like you're already failing at motherhood. You feel intense pressure to be the best mother, but the stress of the postpartum period is too much. Your brain keeps showing you this horror movie about the abuse and you can't take it anymore. You are not alone. There is help, I provide bilingual therapy for postpartum moms and women who were sexually abused in Ontario (English and French).

Hi, I'm Jackie, and I welcome the opportunity to work with you to improve your overall mental health or manage a specific challenge in your life like anxiety, depression or relationship issues. I believe therapy is a journey, and I work closely with my clients to build an appropriate approach for them; this often includes lots of humour, kindness and open and safe space.

Randy has been working in the field of Emotional/Mental Health for over 20 years. He is committed to helping improve the lives of individuals, couples, and families with the hope of creating positive contributions to society at large. He believes every small piece can affect the greater whole.

Accepting new clients! At times life can take us far away from ourselves and when that happens each day can feel challenging. Together I hope our work brings about understanding and self compassion for the ways our adaptive bodies and brains function to protect and connect us. In therapy I like to use laughter, curiosity, and genuine connection to build therapeutic relationship.

Are you struggling with a major life transition such as becoming a parent, entering or considering a new career/ educational pursuit, or adapting to new life circumstances? Change and uncertainty can feel uncomfortable and scary and counselling can help you set and achieve goals that are aligned with your personal values. It can also help you begin to make small but important changes to improve your mood and self-confidence. I have 7 years of experience as a psychotherapist helping people gain clarity, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and reach their personal goals. I also support those in recovery from psychosis.

Dealing with life's complexities is hard! Improving the relationship you have with yourself, and with others, can create greater safety and health. In the process, you can move closer to the life you want. Therapy assists you in this process by having someone who is compassionate and non-judgmental offer personalized guidance. The aim is to help you better navigate life’s inevitable challenges – uncertainties, transitions, and hurts – with greater care and intentionality. We do this by looking at your strengths, your values, finding more helpful perspectives, and by growing your self-compassion and self-confidence.

My purpose: "Getting you back on an even keel!" I provide counselling plus other health services to those who struggle with health problems complicated by mental health and or substance-related disorders. Whether you are looking for yourself or you are a health care provider looking to better help your clients, I have something for you. Some of my clients are people who are frustrated with the fragmented approach to concurrent disorders while others are people who are struggling but "not sick enough" to fit admission's criteria to the publicly funded services they seek.

Welcome to new clients. Feeling relaxed, energized and worry-free is a day-to-day struggle? You find yourself worrying excessively most of the time, fatigued, irritable and would like to worry less, feel more grounded and aligned with your personal and professional goals without feeling interrupted all the time? You have been trying different things but would like to feel more in control over your thoughts and acquire protective long-lasting skills to maintain your health and prevent relapses? You want a soundboard to help you identify what keeps your worry, anxiety, and depression going so that you can start breaking the cycle?

My main area of focus is helping with relationships with others, including as a “life skill”, whether that be learning to get along with your partners (and the conflicts that arise when you don’t) or the anxiety that has grown from social or family relationships. Most of my work over the last nine years has been in helping people to face and deal with their conflict with others, manage the stress of that, and find a “safe place” to be with each other which involves mutual respect and honesty. I also offer life skills and therapy workshops for groups: "Who am I", "Stress Management", etc. Feel free to ask me about it.
