Stress Therapists in M4W

If you are looking to create a deeper understanding of yourself, I would like to invite you into exploring psychotherapy. I work with youth and adults who are interested in becoming more of ‘their authentic self’, want to deepen their social-emotional-spiritual connection, and release any hurts, burdens, pains they have had to carry throughout their childhood and adolescence. If you are looking for ways to support your own well-being, manage stress and better understand your emotions/reactions, IFS can create that space for you to experience more harmony, clarity and direction.

I work with high performing founders, executives, teams & pro athletes. I will help you identify how your mindset is affecting your productivity and work performance. I'll teach you how to get in charge of your emotional state, how to recover faster from setbacks and how to shift from self-doubt to confidence. I can also help your team handle stress, navigate conflict and maintain cohesion so they can get the job done under pressure.

The focus of my practice is to treat people who have emotional dysregulation - stress! This can be due to a mood or personality disorder, chronic pain, trauma or complex trauma, military service, or a major life transition. I use practical, evidence based therapies such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help you fulfill your goals, getting back to living a meaningful, peaceful, productive life. One focus of my practice is treating current military members and veterans.

I offer therapy to increase your resiliency to life's challenges and to reduce the suffering from anxiety, depression and high stress levels. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment, helping you see your problems with more clarity and to make changes in how you cope with difficulties. I have extensive training in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I offer active, practical and goal-oriented therapy. Rather than simply talk about your problems, I will listen, reflect and then help you implement solutions to problems or to make changes in your thinking patterns and actions.

As a career counsellor I support and guide my clients in a reflective and strategic process, helping them to identify and leverage the power of their lived experiences and diverse talents. I work with clients who are seeking perspective, clarity and customized approaches as they navigate change, challenges, and fulfillment in their career lives. I coach clients who are experiencing stress/burnout to discover and integrate positive and sustainable solutions. I assist young adults in building the foundations for a career life. I help clients redefine and create new work after age 60, and map out personally meaningful next steps.

Thank you for visiting my page! Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or grieving the loss of a loved one? There are effective psychological treatments available! I offer psychological assessment and treatment for a range of mental health conditions and emotional difficulties. I create a safe and judgment-free environment, in which you would feel understood, supported and comfortable. My therapeutic style is tailored to each client's unique situation and is based on several evidence-based treatment approaches, and informed by current understanding of brain functioning and neuroplasticity

With a unique background in business, coaching, and psychology, I support professionals and executives and help them thrive and succeed in their careers, work, and personal lives. In collaborating together, we may focus on various areas, including career transitions, leadership development, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and other workplace-related issues -- or simply to identify and tap into their full potential to realize desired goals. Our work generally results in deeper insights into themselves with more expansive perspectives of the world. This empowers clients to move forward with more meaning and purpose.

Finding the right therapist that matches your need can be overwhelming and difficult. If you struggle with anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, low self esteem, psychological trauma, body image issues, or burnout, we may be able to help. My clinic Bloom Psychology & Wellness offers warm, non-judgmental therapy online to individuals, and couples. Connection is important, so we will work closely to explore your resilience, manage strong emotions, develop insight, and strengthen your relationships. Together we can challenge unhelpful beliefs and patterns that may be preventing you from living the life you want.

Welcome! I try my best to create a non-judgemental environment where clients can feel safe to express themselves and believe that my role as a therapist is a collaborative one where I use my skills and expertise to help guide clients along their chosen path. I use an integrative approach that combines my background in Family Systems with extensive training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, and draws from several other evidence-based modalities. Along with my therapeutic lens, as a social worker I am mindful of the other issues and stressors that clients face in their lives such as caring for family or employment issues or diversity issues

I provide evidence-based assessment and treatment for adults experiencing anxiety (e.g., social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, health anxiety, phobias), obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, perfectionism, posttraumatic stress, emotion regulation difficulties, insomnia, relationship difficulties, and life stress (e.g., related to major life transitions). My clinical approach is integrative, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I am currently receiving training and supervision in individual Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).

We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from our past, we need someone to help us make sense of them - and to stick with us through the hard emotions that come with them. As a relational psychotherapist I believe that to get through life, and live life to its fullest, we need to deeply talk with someone. We do not need judgement. We need understanding, compassion, and we need to know we matter.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

My practice specializes in helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, obsessive behaviours, insomnia and other lifestyle concerns, interpersonal and intimate relationship challenges, and a sense of lack of meaning or purpose in life. I use an integral and person-centered approach, one which considers and values a person in all of their dimensions: mind, body, spirit, heart and culture.

Clients I work with are often experiencing recurring patterns of emotional hurt in their lives and may be unable to see their positive qualities, criticize themselves easily, or have trouble asserting themselves and speaking their minds. The common conditions that I work with include anxiety, PTSD, relationship or marriage conflict, workplace stress, persistent tension, or depression.

In children and youth under 18 years of age, the common issues we support include anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, behaviour problems, divorce/family separation, drug and alcohol abuse, body image / food issues, screen addiction, learning difficulties, developmental delays, temper tantrums, separation anxiety and more. For parents, we help with unresolved childhood trauma, perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, positive discipline skills, stress reduction/mindfulness training, and parent-child bonding and attachment. For adults we deal with a wide spectrum of issues including depression, relationship issues & more.

As a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario, I have been working in the field of counselling for over twenty years, providing Psychotherapy and Counseling to adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. In a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgemental environment, I take an integrative approach, drawing upon a variety of interventions including cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, relational and solution focused strategies. I hope to foster healing experiences for my clients that are empowering and pro-active.

My priority is for you to feel welcomed and safe in my office. Our sessions will be guided by your presenting issues and may explore relationships both past and present and the impact of those experiences on your current situation. You may be coming to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, difficult life transitions, past or present abuse or relationship challenges. We will look at patterns that may be present in your life and explore new ways of being.

I specialize in supporting women who are experiencing, stress, anxiety, or burnout. Finding a balance between the demands of work, home, and personal care can feel impossible. You may be having trouble sleeping, relying on self-destructive behaviours to cope, or not knowing where to turn. Whether you are overwhelmed with work, experiencing tension or conflict in your relationships, want support with your ongoing sobriety, or feel lonely and disconnected, I'm here to help.
