Therapists in L4N

Emotions can be challenging, confusing and frustrating, and can cause us to act in ways that we usually wouldn’t. I work with each of my clients to support them in gaining insight and understanding into their “why” questions…. Why do I feel these emotions? Why do I feel stuck? Why is change difficult? Why do I respond in the ways that I do? After uncovering the answers to these questions, change usually isn’t too far away, and we can then begin our work to create positive and sustainable changes that lead to emotional wellness.

Hello! My name is Donna. I use a collaborative approach to provide a safe and non-judgmental space when navigating your concerns in therapy. I'm skilled with supporting many areas, including trauma healing, anxiety, depression, stress management, coping skills, developing healthy boundaries, relationship issues, and couples therapy.

Have you ever felt the need to hide your true self? Most people experience challenges; we just don’t talk about it or want others to see our struggles. Feelings of shame and fear keep us disconnected from others and isolated with our thoughts and emotions. I’ve been there many times myself. As a child, I was shy and faced health challenges. With the support of loved ones, professionals and mentors in my life I was able to overcome many of my challenges. I now use my skills and education to help others who might be experiencing similar concerns.

Accepting New Clients. Are you struggling with grief and loss? The death of a loved one? Pregnancy and infant loss? The end of a relationship? Loss of future hopes and plans? Your sense of self? Loss of stability as you embark on a major life change? Regardless of what unique experience you may be going through- I am here to provide you with a safe outlet to feel heard, to listen non-judgmentally, and sit with you in times of darkness or uncertainty.

I know. It's a wild world we live in. There are so many things unknown and so many challenges from your past that might be surfacing. I'm not going to say that I have a clue what you are going through, because I don't. But what I do know is that the practitioners at SoulScape Services offer services that have helped people shift through intense anxiety and pain and if you are reading this, chances are that you are looking for some relief and a place to call home. If you are looking to find meaning, purpose, and to feel well again, Soulscape is a community of practitioners that treat your wellness from a whole-person perspective.

If you're looking to explore healthy boundaries, hoping to increase effective communication or wanting to experience reconnection with your partner - couples counselling is a great place to start. If you are wanting to better understand your emotions, listen to your body, or experience increased self-confidence - individual counselling may be for you.

All of our children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent/caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodiverse children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

I worked for 17 years providing community based therapy/counselling as an Addictions Therapist with a premier mental health and addictions hospital. Recently I have been the Senior Clinician with a community based mental health services program. I offer personalized and confidential services with a non-judgemental, empathic, and supportive approach. Along with Addiction based services for individuals and their family members, I have worked extensively with parent-teen and family based conflict, relationships, domestic violence, trauma, anger management and conflict resolution, mental health (eg. anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, stress, suicide) as well as school refusal and peer difficulties.

"The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back up." from Rising Strong by Brene Brown. Congratulations on taking a first step on your journey towards a more peaceful, happier, and grounded self. I would be honoured to join you on that journey so that you can face and overcome obstacles while creating an environment of growth and change. I strongly believe that a safe, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together.

Do you find yourself struggling with a transition in your life: a new baby, recovering from medical trauma or generally feeling life is out of your control? Small things are overwhelming you for no reason, you lash out at your partner, catch yourself crying out of nowhere and feel alone. If you are feeling anxious, unfulfilled or unable to handle the impact of traumatic events from work or birth - we can help. Sometimes the past is weighing down the present reality. You aren't crazy, and you can feel better. We will give you the space to feel heard, tools to move through emotions and confidently manage and thrive in your life.

Your life feels like it is falling apart and you are being pulled in so many different directions. Your employer needs you; your family needs you, and so do your friends. You feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious, and depressed. You are trying to hold it all together but it is catching up to you and you can’t do it anymore. You give so much to everyone else and there is nothing left of you. You have lost yourself and you just can’t cope anymore.

Currently offering virtual support only.... Hi, I'm glad you're here! My name is Whitney. I am a registered Social Worker and the co-founder of Cedar Grove Healing Centre. Our unique approach to therapy encourages clients to explore new ways of connecting and healing that might not be accessible through talk-based therapy alone. We aim to provide a truly holistic and individualized approach to improving mental wellness. Whether you are coming with specific therapeutic goals and visions for change, or just need a soft place to land to untangle the complexities of life, you have found the right place.

I am currently accepting new clients for both virtual and in-person counselling. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to express their worries and difficulties. I will help you tap in to your existing strengths and we will work together to practice new coping skills to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. Sometimes life's stressors make us feel like a pressure cooker and we need to "release some of the steam" so that we can cope. Therapy sessions are the perfect place to do this without worrying about overburdening friends and family.
