You are not alone and you do not have to suffer in silence. Being a registered social worker for 16 years, I have had the privilege of working extensively with individuals, children/teens, and families across many diverse communities. I create an emotionally safe, supportive, and healing space to work through whatever challenges you are experiencing. I am passionate about supporting those who have experienced trauma and am a certified Traumatologist. My focus is to empower you through creating an emotionally safe, supportive and healing space.

Are you in a challenging season in life, experiencing disappointment or loss? Does your life presently look different than what you envisioned? Are you finding a life transition overwhelming? Our hopes & plans for what we want life to look like can collide with unexpected circumstances life hands us. Whether it’s the weight of our family of origin, relentless self-criticism or other stressors, personal growth and positive change in our relationships can occur as we are intentional about turning towards our pain and allowing it to be a pathway to healing and transformation in our lives.

You don't have to go through this alone. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and empowering process where we work together to help build your coping skills to deal with whatever challenges you are going through.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and a Certified Clinical Traumatologist. I welcome clients who experience psychosocial challenges, trauma, sexual abuse, PTSD, addictions, chronic pain and disability. I also work with clients experiencing complex issues including social exclusion and involvement in the criminal justice system. I believe that key to happiness begins with embracing challenges, accepting what is and building resources that help us move towards the valued driven direction. Together we can explore the problems and barriers that may stand in the way of your emotional wellbeing.

You may be noticing feeling on edge much of the time, struggling in your relationships, feeling like you are failing, or not good enough in some way. We want to support you to live a life worth living, to feel connected in your relationships, and not held back by what you have experienced. Our group provides counselling for children (5+), teens, adults, families, and couples. All of our therapists have specialized training and experience in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma.

I work from the perspective that we’re all managing something, no matter what age. Whether it’s worries, relationship challenges, or problems with learning. Sometimes we need help understanding what it is that’s happening for us, while other times we understand the challenge, but not how to make changes. I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

I’m accepting new clients. If you want to ask some big questions, I can help. My areas of focus are addiction, trauma, burnout, and major life changes. I bring a philosophical, psychological, and existential approach to your issues. What does that mean? Together we examine, values, priorities, adherence to self, and making change happen. Identifying the issues is important but, as a wise 12-stepper once put it, "nothing changes if nothing changes." You CAN change, I can help you get there.

Victoria is a warm, caring, non-judgemental professional who offers her compassion, openness, and insight that enables her clients to reflect and draw on meaningful connections about themselves in a safe therapeutic environment. What she appreciates most in a client is their commitment to the therapeutic process, their willingness to be open to initiating change, and most importantly their personal self-reflection practice.

It is not unusual to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Sometimes we simply do not have the tools to cope effectively. That is where I hope to make a difference for you. As a therapist my role is to support you non-judgmentally, meet you where you are at, and also respond to you with empathy. I will begin to challenge thoughts and beliefs, reflect patterns and provide differing perspectives. We will start to uncover emotions, thoughts and behaviors together that may be keeping you feeling "stuck". I hope to support you in making decisions that will shift your relationship with yourself and others.

I am a warm Social Worker, who understands that life can be very difficult and overwhelming at times. I am dedicated to helping clients to successfully face, manage, and overcome these very real difficulties. I also support clients in building stronger and more useful coping strategies to deal with the difficult situations and elements of life that cannot be changed or controlled. I help clients to identify and set meaningful goals and to hold clients accountable for their development and for making progress toward their goals. In this way, I help clients to achieve greater balance, resilience, peace, and success in their lives.

Whether you're feeling anxious or low, or navigating life transitions or challenging relationships, sometimes you need a safe place to explore your wants and needs. To feel unconditionally seen and heard. To be met where you are, and to know that your feelings and experiences are valid. Maybe even to be challenged to see the ways you're getting in your own way as you try to achieve your hopes and goals. I aim to provide that safe, attuned, non-judgmental space. I believe that our experiences shape our feelings and behaviour, and that through exploration, the effects of harmful or traumatic experiences can loosen their hold on us.

Aspire Therapy is the private practice of Registered Psychotherapist Deborah Callander in Mississauga. ASPIRE is an acronym for A Supportive Partner in Recovery, which I believe describes my approach well. I draw primarily on Internal Family Systems therapy to explore the sources and development of the suffering in your life, critical to healing. Coping with pain by self medicating eventually does more harm than good. If you've tried to make changes but life has become unsustainable I can help. Let's discuss the options available to you for recovery.

It takes courage to ask for help! So you have been grappling with depression, anxiety, loneliness, or emptiness. Our modern world does not help us understand what it means to be human. We become overwhelmed by relationship challenges and moral dilemmas, feeling lost and lacking meaning. Most of my clients (including couples) are interested in exploring the more profound questions in life. I can offer you a neutral, receptive space to explore your consciousness and the felt-sense experience in your body using a trauma-informed and whole-person approach. The implications of trauma are immense: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
