We all experience challenges and difficulties in our lives. At times, they can feel overwhelming. Counselling can help us cope with these challenges and improve the quality of our lives. If you or someone you care about is struggling, seeking support from a professional may help. Therapy can help with: worry, managing stress, adjustment to a change or life transition, parent-child conflict, separation/divorce, family transitions, or family conflict. Therapy can help us maintain our overall health and well-being.

Are you feeling lost? Confused? Do you end up in the same place despite endlessly trying to do things differently? Perhaps you hear your internal voice saying, “Life is So Challenging!” It can be difficult to observe our destructive patterns of thinking. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and unsure how to cope with it all. We develop these ways of being from foundations that may have been shaky, wrought with trauma, and from others perhaps unknowingly projecting their issues on to us. Our body then does the coping for us. We can unlearn these patterns, and heal. Perhaps listen to the cues from our body before we makes things worse.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults since 2002. I provide clinical psychological services (in English and in Spanish) such as: clinical intervention, counselling, clinical diagnosis, crisis intervention, psycho-education, art therapy and parent interviews. I believe through compassionate, active listening and with the appropriate strategies in place, I am able to help the client de-tangle the cause of her/his suffering and, developing the necessary strategies to cope with his circumstances, in a healthier manner.

I am committed to helping you rediscover your inner strengths, regain your confidence and build the courage to face life's challenges. My name is Stephanie Vatri and I am a Mississauga and Oakville-based registered psychotherapist providing individual & couples therapy and resilience coaching. I understand the challenges facing career-committed professionals, family-oriented individuals and clients seeking personal growth and spirituality. I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate environment to work together with you to create positive change in your life using a client centred and holistic approach.

Hi, I’m Melinda. My approach to therapy is both holistic and practical. I can help build your resilience to stress, connect you to valuable resources and empower you with skills and strategies to improve your quality of life and the joy you find in it. In our sessions, I draw from several therapeutic modalities, such as: Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as best suited to your needs. My goal is to support you to live a more comfortable and fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome! I am a Psychological Associate registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario with a practice in clinical and counselling psychology. I work with children and adults who are experiencing distress related to traumatic experiences, parent-child attachment difficulties, emotional injuries, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, behavioural problems and relationship difficulties. I have a background in psychological and somatic approaches to psychotherapy, and I value a holistic approach that supports body and mind. This includes an orientation to working in a manner that is informed by attachment theory.

I imagine you're here because you're running out of ways to manage your situation and no one seems to understand what you need. I HEAR YOU. It's not uncommon for us to feel a sense of hopelessness as we attempt to differentiate between the negative mind chatter that weakens our perspective and our own truth. The heart says one thing, the head another. What story are we telling? It's not a happy one is it, yet it's the one we believe. I bet you fantasize of better days and wonder... are they worth fighting for? HECK YES!! It's in the fantasy that I can help you create a life you actually want to live, so keep reading. I can help.

We all go through difficult times that need some assistance. Maybe you are not feeling as confident as you used to be because something has changed in your life, or maybe because things have stayed the same. You could be caught up in difficult thoughts and emotions that make it difficult to work towards the things you value. I have spent years assisting people with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life changes, chronic health issues, emotional eating, school and work-related stress. I also assist those struggling with family issues, infertility, third-party reproduction, adoption, postpartum support.

I have been in practice for over 35 years with individuals, couples and families. I am also a registered marriage and family therapist. I deal with many different issues in people's lives such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, marital strife, family problems, loss, trauma. Often issues overlap with each other. The goal is to help each person or couple or family find ways to move forward and mange and /or reduce and/or eliminate the problem(s). The process is collaborative using the skills that individuals may already have.

Maintaining strong, intimate adult relationships is a challenge for anyone in today's busy world. For some people, anxiety and depression may be impacting their personal happiness, parenting, marriage or career. Others have had painful life histories that interfere with being able to feel safely connected with loved ones and peers. Grief, family transition, communication problems, trauma, and ADHD can make it difficult to find the meaning and connection that give life its joy. As founder of the Oakville Schema Therapy Center, I use my extensive experience in ST as a powerful, effective approach to making changes in your life.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, sad or disconnected? Are you struggling with relationships, past difficulties or trauma, or with coping with something new? With individuals and couples, I offer support when it becomes too difficult to manage alone. Take this opportunity to explore/share emotions, heal traumas, find compassion for yourself and others, as well as develop new coping strategies. For couples, I will guide you in heartfelt conversations to build and reconnect. Discover how you can experience a life and relationships based on your own strengths, choices and values.

I love my job, especially the satisfaction I get from helping people identify their goals and life directions, create a path to get there and take the first steps on that path towards a more joyful and satisfying life.

My practice consists of two main areas, psychotherapy and school psychology. With children, adolescents, and adults, I can work on issues like reducing anxious and depressive symptoms, or enhancing overall well-being. I can also help people who are struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder or who need help regulating their attention and hyperactivity. With children and adolescents, I can conduct comprehensive psychoeducational assessments to try to figure out if they have a learning, attention, and/or intellectual disability.

I am passionate about collaborating with clients in order to contribute to meaningful and lasting change. I take pride in my ability to connect in a genuine way with a variety of clients, tailoring my approach in a way that best honours each person's unique potential, preferences, values, strengths and goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, respect, compassion, acceptance, validation and understanding. Through insight, self-awareness and the acquisition of tools geared towards coping with life's challenges, I believe that the therapeutic process is invaluable in nurturing and supporting healing in my clients' lives and relationships.

Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are hoping to deal with a specific issue such as trauma and loss or are facing difficulty adjusting to a new role like becoming a parent or a new phase in their life. Some are looking for ways to understand their children’s behaviours and emotional needs and improve their family relationships.

I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Education with specializations in counselling and psychology. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists. My experiences encompass working with adolescents and their families, as well as individuals who struggle with symptoms related to depression and/or anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict or grief/loss. My approach can best be described as holistic as it integrates emotional, mental, physical and social aspects of people's lives. I have been discribed by my clients as compassionate, knowledgeable and respectfully challenging them if past coping strategies have not been working,

I create a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to share their story and be heard. I work with clients from all cultural backgrounds with various presenting issues. It is my belief that therapy is best conducted as a collaborative process whereby we create a therapeutic plan using evidence-based approaches in conjunction with clients' goals, cultural/spiritual lens, personality and experiences. I support clients by helping them to draw from their strengths and develop self-compassion as they engage in the therapeutic process.

I aim to work with you collaboratively to enable individuals to solve their social/emotional concerns. Over the years I’ve supported individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress management, coping skills, self harming behaviours, relationship issues and parent teen conflict. I understand stressors of life and how they may have an impact on individuals. Thus I seek to help individuals locate themselves in their daily situations, reflect and influence positive change.
