Therapists in K1Z

I provide a safe and respectful space for you to authentically explore your concerns such as anxiety, stress, burnout, sadness, or difficulties making decisions in life. In our sessions, I will help you identify what’s important to you and teach you skills to meet your goals. Life can be challenging and we all benefit from support at times in moving forward with greater clarity and confidence. Learning to respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts/feelings eases their hold on you. I will work collaboratively with you to take the next steps toward the life you want.

Making the decision to engage in therapy is a proactive way to ensure your mental health is a priority. My philosophy is to create a safe and secure environment that allows for open, honest discussion, which will then foster both understanding and healing. Using an integrative approach to therapy, I collaborate with each individual to create an experience that is comfortable, supported and progressive. It is my goal to help people explore their issues at their own pace, and in a supportive way. A unique element of my practice centres around Animal Assisted Therapy. I worked with my previous therapy dog (Mona) for 5 years.

Currently Accepting New Clients! Have you noticed that you’ve been feeling anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed? Finding it challenging to find the energy to do things or to feel like “yourself” again? Do you struggle with feeling sad, unlovable, or unworthy? You might be trying to cope with heightened feelings, numbness, or perhaps things feel heavy or unclear, as though you’re treading through a murky swamp. I’d like to offer you my hand, and help guide you out. Together, we can find empowering strategies, new ways of thinking, and uncover what is holding you back from the life you desire.

I am a warm, compassionate, and collaborative Clinical Health and Rehabilitation Psychologist who provides individual and group psychotherapy. I am passionate about my work and have over 25 years clinical experience in a range of areas including mood, anxiety, psychosis, life transitions, work issues, and personal growth and exploration. Please see my website www.Drnicolawright.com for a more detailed description of my services, experience and approach to therapy.

Deep inside, you hear a call towards a soul-led life that seems so far away. You know you are here for a purpose and you long to discover your gifts. Your intuition is spot on: you’ve never been more needed around here. Easier said than done, right? What if all you needed was someone to help you map out the journey? Inner guidance is our birthright, and sometimes we need help deciphering our next steps. If you’re reading this right now, it may be because you have reached the limits of your ability to keep going alone. I invite you to pause and honour the fact that none of us should have to go it alone.

“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” (C.S. Lewis) My therapeutic presence is warm, non-judgmental, genuine and relaxed. I blend creativity, knowledge, professional training and experience. Sessions are collaborative in nature. You will bring your wisdom, life experiences, values, strengths, vulnerabilities, concerns and challenges. I aspire to help you heal, promote growth, find balance and experience self-acceptance.

The counselling process is similar to carefully peeling back the layers of an onion. You need to feel safe and in control as the layers of your story are revealed. Together, we uncover deeper parts of the self that may be hidden from conscious thought ... old scripts and tapes that are still playing today and causing you pain and anxiety. You can change your life by bringing these old patterns and voices into the light of day for examination. My work is to support, guide, and challenge you so you can empower yourself to deal with past issues and present concerns.

I recognize that dealing with individual problems is not a systematic process and that it can lead to certain difficulties, but healing from a past or present malaise is a bit like writing a book: you have to write a few drafts at each stage before you're satisfied with your work. I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your healing journey.

Julia Vlaming: Does not reside in a castle, but will hold down the fort nonetheless. Taught the Ice Queen to love summertime. Fluent at deciphering treasure maps. Says she's not responsible for Rapunzel's escape, but we all know the truth.... Working on bringing peace to Narnia.

I understand that life can be filled with unforeseen obstacles and difficulties and believe that by providing an environment centered around genuineness, empathy, and acceptance, you may feel safe to deepen your experiences and create opportunities for change.

When the loss of meaning knocks on our door, anxiety and depression very often set in. We wish life's trials didn't exist: illness, job loss, the loss of a loved one or a pet, moving house, separation, etc. Unfortunately, this is impossible to avoid. However, we can learn to work through them and develop more positive therapeutic tools to manage the emotional pain caused by the incomprehensible.

I currently have space virtually and Tues/Wed evenings. I work with children, youth, adults and couples in a variety of areas. As part of a blended family, I have a special interest in the experience of step-parenting and the often challenging dynamics. In my work with children I work closely with parents to integrate an understanding of developmentally appropriate practices at home. I enjoy supporting couples to find new ways to communicate and understand one another, and to break the unhelpful patterns we all tend to fall into.

Are you unsure if you’re getting parenting, life, work, balance, and regulation right? Are you tired of worrying whether your child is going to be ok? Are you uncertain what to do with the big feelings or the big feelers in your life? Have you hit a wall trying to figure it out alone? I specialize in the treatment of children and adults struggling with ‘getting it right’ and understanding themselves in a sea of misinformation and misleading online spaces. I offer support for neurodivergence, grief, loss, race-based trauma, immigration, and intergenerational challenges through education, attunement, and therapeutic rapport.

My ideal clients lead active lifestyles. Either being professionals in management, health field, sports or the arts industry, they know the importance of a well balanced life and how hard it is to achieve. They are professionals who want to better their emotional and relational lives while overcoming obstacles that might prevent them from becoming who they were meant to be. My clients value others, are willing to be vulnerable and want to contribute to the world around them on a small or a large scale. They value honesty and have the courage to change something others might fear to change. They aspire to lead meaningful lives

I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking to improve their sleep, energy, focus and attention and/or who would like to experience less reactivity, racing thoughts, or panic attacks. People who deal with anxiety, high stress levels, PTSD, are recovering from concussion, or children or adults who have ADHD, autism or learning disabilities are the clients I see the most. Following a series of sessions, it is very rewarding to see the frequency, intensity or duration of symptoms subside and clients more able to access and use tools such as mindfulness, meditation or yoga in order to manage day to day stresses.

Hello! Bonjour! I am a Registered Psychotherapist passionate about creating a supportive and collaborative atmosphere in which you can heal at your own pace. Reaching out for support is a brave first step and requires a tremendous amount of courage. My background is in working as a therapist with children, teens, adults, and families. In my practice, I work with teens and adults dealing with a number of challenges. I have a particular interest in working with folks with low mood, relationship problems, gender identity, and work/school stress.

Accepting new clients! I offer a warm and supportive counselling style, meeting my clients wherever they are in their healing journey. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, recognizing that everyone has the ability within themselves to reach the goals they set in therapy.

SPECIALIZATION in tweens/teens ages 12-18. I also work with adults. Do you want to make a change in your life? Find new ways to cope? Maybe I can help you. People often go to counselling when their own strategies are no longer working for them. I believe it's important to understand the root causes of certain thoughts and behaviours to develop the appropriate support. Such behaviours may include self-harm and aggression, which may mask underlying issues that I am hoping to uncover and help clients cope with.

Dr. Bill works with clients with varied presenting problems, ranging from anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress.
