Therapists in K2J

I see individuals in therapy for a variety of concerns such as: anxiety, adult ADHD, relationship issues, family dynamics, parenting, self-esteem & climate anxiety. In sessions, I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours at your own pace. I help clients gain clarity about the challenges they are facing, find a healthy sense of balance, and learn strategies to cope more effectively. I like to collaboratively approach problems and help you find creative solutions that fit your values.

As a psychotherapist my role is to provide both individuals and couples with an encouraging and supportive space. My approach is founded on the knowledge that transformational change can only come from within. Every client that walks through my door has insight into their own healing process, it is just clouded by the challenges they are facing. My role is to cultivate and strengthen one’s capacity to access intrinsic needs, beliefs, and identity while acknowledging the courage and resiliency in making the choice to do so. I aim to promote a more balanced way of relating to oneself and others during times of hardship.

Blended families and individuals and families created through adoption, fostering and donor-assisted reproduction have unique histories and experiences which differ from families created through birth alone. All have experienced losses and the trauma of broken birth bonds. These experiences can provoke conscious or unconscious feelings such as grief, anger and shame which have significant impacts on self-value, behaviours, relationships and intimacy. Accessing, understanding & grieving are necessary before personal change and deeper interpersonal connections can be made.

Do you feel lost, or as though you don’t know what you’re doing? Are you seeking help with challenges in your personal and professional life? Do you want support but don’t know where to start? Life is a roller-coaster full of ups and downs, and we all need relief from the bumpy ride to find and maintain clarity. During this process, I will guide you in a confidential and judgment-free safe space. Whether you feel confused, afraid, excited, overwhelmed, or curious, we will work together to dig deep and ensure your needs are addressed efficiently and effectively.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I rely on a collaborative approach and pride myself on providing clients with the necessary tools to restore, foster and enhance their resilience and ability to problem-solve. I work with adults, youth, children, families, couples and LGBTQ community members with a variety of concerns. Please visit my website at www.ahappieryou.ca for more information

Accepting clients with daytime availability! I have always been curious about what makes a person who they are. I believe that we all have wounds from our past, whether it be from relationships or experiences, that have shaped who we are, how we relate and how we view our world. Although our past may shape us, I believe making connections from our past to our present allows us to heal and become the person we aspire to be. The healing occurs in the present when we change our ways of relating to the self and to the world.

I believe most of our suffering is the result of what we come to believe about ourselves and/or the world as a result of negative experiences. Every decision we make is, to some degree, based on what we hold as fundamental truths about ourselves and the world. If we alter those negative self-beliefs, everything changes. I help you access your inner wisdom and healing abilities to turn anxiety into peace, overwhelm into self-empowerment, burnout into joyful engagement, and self-doubt into self-love. Instead of simply learning strategies to manage symptoms, we work together towards eliminating the root cause of the distress.

Are you suffering from anxiety right now? Living in constant threat about what may come in the future - or getting lost in the traumas of the past? You are not alone! The clients I see often tell me “I feel my mind has no off switch," As they gradually lose control over their feelings, relationships and actions. Coping strategies may no longer be working for you. If you are here, then know there is hope. I've helped people deal with anxiety and trauma-related issues for the past 15 years. I am here to help you move past anxiety and get back into your life.

Bianca Maschi (she/her) offers counselling and psychotherapy through video and telephone counselling (electronic practice) for individuals living in Ontario, Canada. ​ Therapy is defined by you. You are the expert on yourself. Whether that is cultivating greater self-compassion or learning how to identify your needs. I work with you - at your pace. Counselling and Psychotherapy can be terrifying and beautiful, challenging and rewarding. Through our work together, you will learn to grow and overcome - while recognizing that you have always been enough. ​ Being a human is difficult and messy. It is ok not to do it alone.

I specialize in therapy for narcissistic abuse! Do you feel confused, doubt yourself and question your needs? Do you feel dismissed, invalidated, and uncared for in one or more of your important relationships? Are your feelings negated, minimized and you make yourself small to accommodate the other person’s unreasonable demands? You may be on the receiving end of a narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse can lead to anxiety, depression and pervasive feelings of shame and self blame. Misuse of substances is often a maladaptive coping mechanism in the attempt to deal with constant emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation.

Grief counselling is my specialty. The death of a loved one is so hard and you don't have to grieve alone. I work collaboratively, at the clients pace, providing a safe non-judgmental space for clients to be heard and to support them in drawing upon their own strengths in order to mourn well. My professional experiences stem from working as a Social Worker and a Therapist for over 25 years in hospice palliative care, community organizations, and in private practice. I work with both adults and children (children up to the age of 11). I also provide counselling for those caring for a loved one at the end of life.

I am passionate about working with youth presenting with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, body image, emotion regulation, grief, as well as other common concerns children face.

At different points in our lives, we may be faced with trials and tribulations that can be difficult, leave us uneasy, unhappy, anxious, depressed, or unsatisfied.
