"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 registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a Psychological Associate with a practice in Clinical and Counselling Psychology. With over 20 years of experience providing psychological services, I work with children and adults whose lives have been affected by traumatic experiences, parent-child attachment difficulties, emotional injuries, mental health conditions, and learning disabilities. My practice extends to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I enjoy this work and it is an honour to meet and work with the people who come to me."

"The reason I became a therapist was to help others lessen the time they spend in emotional pain, discomfort, and/or uncertainty. I have spent many years working in the corporate world only to feel compelled to help others overcome problems that were preventing them from living life the way they wanted. I went on to complete my Masters in Counselling. My thesis focused on early childhood messages and their influences in adult decision making and was nominated for a Gold medal. It is a topic I continue to research and evolve today."

"I am a registered Social Worker with over 9 years of experience in various fields of practice from early childhood, to special needs and social work. I work from a psychodynamic, attachment theory perspective and I consider the need for connectedness, closeness and meaningfulness at the centre of my approach. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families who are experiencing breakdown in communication, anger, grief, anxiety, depression and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with domestic violence and individuals involved in the criminal justice system."

"From a young age, I was always interested in the why of things. Whenever I was told that, "things could be worse", I was never satisfied and always remember thinking that there must be a better or different way of handling things. In my life, I have encountered many challenging times and tried to handle things the best I could. As a result, I decided to do my own work and in turn was inspired to help others. Today, I am fortunate enough to do the work I do and am passionate about helping others to make changes in their lives."

"I am passionate about mental health and wellness. I have witnessed the freedom, growth, and empowerment that therapy can provide, and it is a joy to foster an environment where meaningful change can take place. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I hold an MA in Counselling and Spirituality with a specialization in couple and family therapy, and a BA in Psychology. I am a member of the OACCPP. I am supervised by a Clinical Psychologist, which allows my services to be covered by most insurance companies."

"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."

"If you are reading this you probably don't feel like yourself anymore. You are missing that "spark" for life and feel embarrassed that you can't just seem to "get it together". Maybe you are not as confident as you used to be because something has changed in your life, or maybe because things have stayed the same. I get it, we all go through times that need some assistance or guidance. You are caught up in difficult thoughts and emotions that make it hard to work towards the things you value. Let's work on that together."

"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."

"Personal, family, and work-related problems are a normal part of the human struggle. Sometimes however, problems get too overwhelming and difficult to handle alone. This is the time to call me and explore effective ways to solve these problems. I will listen and help you navigate your way out of this state of being stuck and foster a sense of self-confidence and self-mastery. You will gain insight, understanding and resilience to cope more effectively in the future...AND feel more self confident and optimistic."

"Hey there fellow super woman! Have you hit your limit? Focusing on everyone else's needs at the expense of your self? Find you get agitated, anxious, or stressed about little things that didn't used to bother you? Do you even know who YOU are anymore? Enough! It's time to put YOU back on the list of priorities. It's time to admit what you know, but haven't said. This isn't the life you were meant to live and it's time you start making some changes."

"I am a clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals dealing with chronic illness and who have recently had traumatic accidents. I provide psychotherapy services to address issues such as coping with traumatic events, stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, chronic pain issues, caregiver stress, and sleep disturbances."

"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."

"What I find most enriching in my profession is the connection I create with people. I am grateful to be working with a diverse population. I strive to help individuals, couples and families traverse through transitions in life in the smoothest way possible through observation, guidance and concrete tools. I work with a variety of issues from individual (self-esteem, stressful life events, separation, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and anger), to coupe issues (conflict, separation and divorce) and family issues (family conflict, behavioral concerns, parental coaching and mental health support for children and adolescents.)"

"Taking the first step to seeking help for emotional difficulties or learning problems can be an intimidating undertaking and I commend your interest and resolve in looking for a psychologist. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with an office in Oakville, Ontario who provides psychological interventions, psychoeducational assessments and mental health assessments for children, adolescents, adults and families."

"As human beings we are wired for relationships so when there's a disconnect from a loved one, your place of work and/or from your true self it's not uncommon for you to feel hopeless as you attempt to differentiate between the negative mind chatter, that weakens your perspective, and your own truth."
