Therapists in L6R

My passion is for advocating and supporting clients of racialized identities and I have experience working with individuals from various ethnic and religious backgrounds. I support individuals, families, couples, and youth who have experienced conflict, breakdown in dynamics, and life stressors. I hope to convey my genuine care and support you in feeling comfortable and safe during our time together and appreciate getting to know and support a diversity of people. I appreciate the process of therapy not only because it is an opportunity to heal, but also because it is a journey that we embark on together.

Everyone embarks on unique journeys involving various overwhelming challenges including emotional and mental health issues, substance abuse and relationship issues. My colleagues and I fully understand that when two or more people cope with similar circumstances, no two minds function alike. Therefore, my services instill clients with how to love themselves through comprehensive, mental, emotional and spiritual enrichment regardless of their age, social or ethnic background, or physical capacities. Overall, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing clients reach self-actualization by gaining strength, confidence and empowerment to confront their own inner conflicts "for we all smile in the same language".

Welcome to Olive Tree Counselling and Psychotherapy! I believe the tree is a great metaphor for helping clients understand how their current difficulties are often rooted in earlier experiences. Like the olive tree, I believe people are inherently resilient and capable of thriving in spite of the challenges they may face. Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience, but I can offer a safe and empathetic space for you to gain insight into and process past hurts, explore healthier ways to cope, live a more meaningful and authentic life, and learn how to communicate your needs and boundaries with others.

Welcome to Social Work Evolved Inc., Counselling & Rehabilitation Services. "We provide effective, compassionate and evidence based treatment."

Sometimes breathing is difficult, sometimes it comes easy, sometimes weakness, sometimes strength. Your gift is great; the expression of that authentic self is Love and Courage. Who are you? What do you want? Are you willing, at any given moment, to sacrifice who you are for what you will become? Anything is possible. Well designed. Express how you feel with intention and take ownership of your daily living. Therein lies your power. I am grateful to serve individuals in all age demographics - I want to highlight that the services here are not limited to children and youth.

I offer individual, couple and family therapy for a wide range of issues including; Divorce/Separation, Trauma, Grief, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Self-Image, Family Conflict, and Eating Disorders I have assisted many couples and families in improving their relationships with one another, providing them with the ability to communicate, respect and understand each other better using Collaborative Problem Solving and Emotion-focussed therapy. Success in a relationship does not mean there is no conflict, it means that conflict is handled in a respectful manner and individuals feel heard.

Deciding to seek psychotherapy is often the result of emotional turmoil, conflicts and arguments, sleepless nights, worries, and distress. However, I think this is the best self-care one can gift to oneself. Talking about our issues with a non-judgemental, neutral person who listens to you and holds you in a safe space of comfortable conversation is therapeutic. It helps one to process and understand one's feelings, thoughts, behavior; and enables the client to value own self, and recognize the worth and potential one has as an individual, irrespective of the circumstances.
