Lesbian Therapists in Frankford, ON

Are you feeling stuck or trapped? Is it hard for you to relax because you are worried and/or anxious about you and/or your child’s future? Feel like you have tried everything and often feel alone in your struggle?

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

The path to parenthood has not looked like what you expected. Maybe you’re desperate to start your family, but it’s not happening and you’re terrified that parenthood isn’t going to happen for you. Maybe you’ve experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss and are left grieving in isolation, wondering “does this grief even count if it was “just” a miscarriage?”. Or perhaps you want to add to your family, but this time around it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Baby showers are devastating. “Pregnancy” becomes a swear word. Sex is no longer fun, it is simply a method to conceive/means to finally seeing that double pink line…

We support adults, teenagers, and children who are struggling to find direction and purpose in their lives. This support can happen through individual, couples, or family sessions using a multitude of mediums to ensure safety for all. We support clients to create goals and their definitions of success, treating each individual with respect and dignity while helping them move forward. We support members who are experiencing family crises and breakdowns. We help our clients live their best life, one worth waking up for each day.

I am a Registered Social Worker who works with folks 12 years old+ from all different backgrounds. I offer 1:1 counselling services that are grounded in a strengths-based approach. I have experience supporting folks with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, life transitions and case management. I offer my services virtually as well as in person (Kingston), and will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and wishes.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes~When the waves turn the minutes to hours?" [Gordon Lightfoot]...Peoples' curiosity and courage are natural resources & forces that amplify therapy process and results. After years of experience, I am convinced that the most powerful tools for recovery are CBT, DBT (cognitive & dialectical behaviour therapy), EMDR and cardio-emotive feedback therapy... All are founded on the latest scientific findings on the neurobiology of attachment and "heart/brain" treatments. Along with time-tested healing traditions, together we can activate your innate instinct & privilege to become whole and connect meaningfully with others .

Undisturb yourself! Using CBT, Existential, and Mindfulness forms of psychotherapy, I help clients (in-person/ telephone/ on-line) develop the tools in order that they think, act and feel better. Sometimes the realities of life understandably leave us susceptible to certain anxieties, despair and general existential concern. All too often we find ourselves developing unhelpful irrational thoughts and behaviours that can seem impossible to change. But they aren't. If you are interested in investigating and changing your assumptions and behaviours, if you want to modify the lens through which you view and experience the world, my therapeutic modality could be well suited to you.

I am a trauma-informed, client-centred EMDR Certified Therapist based in Prince Edward County. My priority is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can deepen your understanding of yourself, develop more genuine relationships with others and the world, and make changes you have been struggling to make on your own. I work with individuals aged 16+ facing a wide range of difficulties, including: grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma (including PTSD and Complex PTSD), dissociation, abuse, gender identity and sexuality issues, relationship challenges, suicidal thoughts and emotion regulation challenges.

I am currently working out of We Thrive Wellness Centre in Belleville. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and challenges in relationships at home, at work and those internal struggles within, struggles of 'who am I' and noticing repeating patterns that aren't serving anymore. One of my favourite quotes is from the Sufi mystic Hafiz, "I wish to show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your being." I generally have a rotating, 20-session space for two clients at a 'reduced rate'.

While it can be a difficult process to admit when we need help, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes things come up for us in life, both from our past as well as our present, that may demand us to seek out help, and that’s okay. I typically work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, sexual issues, and relationship issues. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, and I am passionate about advocating for and supporting marginalized groups.

The complexities of life experiences can profoundly impact our whole selves, spanning emotions, identity, performance, relationships, self-care, sexuality, and numerous other facets that collectively shape our wellbeing. May it be hopes of resolving trauma, changing habits or patterns, adjusting to life transitions, or coping better, being able to set goals and attain them, or feeling comfortable in your own skin- I will accompany you in your healing and flourishing journey with compassion and a deep awareness of trauma, culture, and psychology, and support you to feel safe, seen, and secure in your inner as well as external world.

Specific populations that I love working with (and have undergone additional training to specialize in) include Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQIA2+ persons, trans-identified and gender diverse persons and their families (including chosen families), and clients with a history of trauma and/or substance use. I work with youth and adults (primarily 12-70 years old), couples, and families. In terms of treatment, my areas of specialty include ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, trauma, and navigating gender and sexual identities.

I see you. You’re tired of struggling and feeling like you're always getting it wrong. You just want things to be easier and to find some peace, but you don't know how. I get that it can be hard to feel motivated to do the things you know will make you feel better. It's hard to know how to change when you're not even sure who you are. It's painful to feel misunderstood and hard to have to figure it out all on your own. Somehow, you know you need to get out of your own way, you just don't know where to start. Don’t worry, I’ve got you. You aren’t doomed to feel this way forever. I’ll walk with you, to help you to find your way out.

Do you feel exhausted from distressing thoughts and intense emotions? Are you struggling to cope? You are not alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed, there is support available. Together, we can explore your concerns and develop a treatment plan to work towards your goals. You are welcome to book a consultation with me to determine if we will be a good fit to do the work together.

Life can be hard sometimes. Maybe you’re feeling sad, stuck or overwhelmed right now. Often when we’re struggling it can be hard to reach out for help or talk about it with family or friends, especially if we’re met with comments like “just get over it” or “why can’t you move on?” In therapy, I will not make those statements, and will listen without judgment, so that we can explore what’s going on in your life and how you’re feeling about it. With compassion, I will support you to consider what might be holding you back or keeping you feeling stuck, and with this awareness comes the opportunity to experiment with new possibilities.

At one time or another in our lives we hit an obstacle, a mountain, and if we're raised to feel freely it maybe wouldn't be as hard to traverse it, to get through it. I hope to be but a Sherpa on your trek, I know the way but you hold the map. Some days it gets hard and desperate, finding a person to explore with, to navigate life with, helps to grow your "life worth living". It's as true today as ever I've said it, but awareness is key, without awareness and acceptance there can be little lasting change.

Have you always had an alternative approach to lifestyle, relationship, or spirituality and wonder if you'll ever find a therapist who will "get" you? Are you struggling with anxiety, mood, ADHD, life transitions, grief or trauma? Tired of feeling stagnant and ready to take a leap to change? Reaching out for help is half the battle and together we will challenge you to heal, grow, and transform. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor, and have an MA in Counselling Psychology. I have 9 years' experience working in mental health, and am certified in virtual counselling.
