Therapists in L4X

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety and post traumatic symptoms, personality disorders (cluster B), psychological abuse and relationship issues. During the sessions you'll find understanding, an ultimate acceptance and security to express your genuine concerns at a very deep psychological level. You will learn how to identify and use your resourcefulness to make new steps. You will learn how to manage your emotions and set and meet goals without being stressed. Therapy will allow you to free yourself from painful emotions, disturbing thoughts and destructive behaviour and enjoy your precious life.

Life certainly has many stressors these days. You may be considering therapy to help make sense of how you are feeling. Crushing feelings of overwhelm can seem hopeless and isolating. Change is scary, feels hard, especially if you feel like you are doing it alone. By remaining curious and building self-awareness, we can start to identify your stuck points, and together build skills and strategies to empower you to regain your sense of self. My approach is to work collaboratively with you, to understand what you are looking for, and for you to see your world a little clearer.

Life can be challenging as each day may bring unexpected stresses or circumstances. We may not always be able to control what comes our way, however, I believe that therapy can be a place that supports you in processing and navigating through those experiences. I understand how difficult it can be to share vulnerable or painful parts of your life with others. That is why my goal as a therapist is to prioritize our therapeutic relationship and ensure it is a space where you feel valued, heard, and understood.

Whether you are struggling with addiction, stress, chronic pain, or depression, I can help. Although these four issues may seem separate, there is a lot of overlap and chances are that if you are experiencing one of these issues, you are experiencing at least two others, where they feed off each other. My holistic approach takes into account your life as a whole. I believe in long-term recovery, so I aim to treat and heal root causes rather than symptoms alone. I also help to create sustainable and supportive structures in your life that you can lean on during hard times.

Mindfulness is the process of befriending oneself unconditionally, with compassion and kindness. Through traumas, life transitions, mistakes, and successes, mindfulness can be that constant strategy that allows you to be grounded firmly in your healing. It is a holistic approach that synthesizes the mind, body and soul. My work is rooted in my personal practice of 10+ years and my professional social work experience of 18+ years. My practice is LGBTQIA2S-affirming, pro-fat and anti-racist. My areas of specialty are: anxiety, depression, chronic/terminal illness, grief, burnout, body image, relationships, and immigrant issues

Welcome! I commend you for taking the incredibly courageous and inspiring decision to seek support despite feeling overwhelmed and intimidated! I aim to cultivate a culturally sensitive safe space in which you can explore and better understand yourself, as well as address challenges you may be facing such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. In using a holistic and client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with you as a unique individual with your own unique needs wanting to live a more purposeful, connected, and fulfilling life.

Do you or your loved one has a debilitating addiction to alcohol or drugs and is this related to trauma? Have you been a victim of violent crimes like shootings, muggings or stabbings? Have you had a trauma recent or in past? I know you are going through what no one can possibly understand. You don't have to suffer alone. Asking for help might be daunting at times but it's also the right thing to do. I appreciate your courage in holding up all this time. I started working with clients just like you a dozen years ago. I have been through this journey of pain and healing with so many of fellows like you.

Clients in my practice are from diverse backgrounds who have experienced traumatic events that are adversely impacting their personal sense of who they are, their relationships, both personal and professional. They usually have a history of ancestral and intergenerational violence and seek therapy for resolve issues such as historic and current sexual/violence, intimate relational violence, trafficking, trauma related to war and conflict, workplace violence, discrimination and harassment. The clients are seeking to make sense of their lived experiences, recover their agency and power to live a wholesome life with dignity and respect

Do you struggle to feel connected to your authentic self or make sense of who you are in the world? I have been there, too. Through my own life experiences, and from the work I've done with my courageous clients, I have an understanding of how psychological pain and distress impact every aspect of our daily lives, relationships and self-concept. While the effects of this distress often hold us back in our lives, it can also push us to get the help we need to better understand ourselves. If you are here, looking for those answers, you have already taken the hardest step.

Struggling with low self-esteem? Looking to unlock your full potential? Trauma can manifest differently in each individual. Shannon Kane, a compassionate mental health professional at Canadian Therapy, employs a somatic approach to create a relaxed mindset and facilitate open dialogue. Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, or aiming for psychological flexibility, Shannon believes in cultivating a safe environment.

As a second-generation Indo-Canadian, I too have often found it overwhelming and confusing to keep up with the different roles that are expected of us. Living up to these expectations may feel impossible. It is not unusual to have a hard time saying "no", and put yourself and your needs last even when you might not want to. It is common to question your sense of self and be curious about a life that feels more true to yourself and that aligns more with your values. Even reaching out for professional support can feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

In my practice, I assist clients with life's difficult challenges that are preventing them from living an empowered and fufilling life. I strive to create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to discuss their concerns and be their authentic selves. Through Integrative Counselling, I will use multiple approaches to tailor the counselling process to each individual's needs. I will also address the whole person by taking into account the relationship between the client’s emotional, physical and spiritual states.
