*Accepting new clients* You’ve been noticing lately that everything you do to control your anxiety and self-doubt has not been working. Common sense methods such as trying to be rational, or think positively only makes the anxiety come back with more force. It’s almost as if the more you try to get rid of your anxiety, the more you feel you are digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole. Anxiety has now started holding you back from living the life you truly wish to live. Whether that be taking chances at work, going on dates, pursuing new hobbies, going back to school etc. You’ve noticed life has started getting smaller and smaller.

I have devoted much of my time to building a fulfilling career working with families, children and adolescents. My approach to therapy is integrative in nature, and brings together both person-centered and cognitive therapies to help clients better understand their strengths, to implement solutions, and to improve the stability and happiness of the person, the family and or couple.

Engaging in Individual Therapy allows for the opportunity to work through a range of emotional, interpersonal and psychological challenges that may be experienced. Committing to individual therapy can also help with learning effective coping strategies, improving communication and making meaning out of both your life challenges and accomplishments. Individual therapy can create momentum, help gain motivation, make room for acceptance, and develop mindfulness strategies to support healthy living.

Hello, YouthMindful offers mindfulness therapy for teens who are experiencing stress in their lives. Our approach is with a respect for the difficulties of being a young person, and our aim is to gently encourage our participants to comfortably become themselves as they change and grow.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. Whether you're interested in coming to therapy for the first time, returning or searching for a new therapist I'm here to meet you where you’re at now - ready to listen, free of judgment. You may be suffering from a difficult life event, feeling stuck, lonely, or a lack of excitement in your life. I want to offer you a space where you can feel whatever you're feeling and express what is difficult to say. We explore your patterns of thoughts and feelings and how they affect your relationships, your choices, and your sense of self. Together we work through what is happening for you.

I help people reduce conflict, restore integrity, find ease, confidence and joy in their lives, even when it seems impossible. Through this work, you can harness your own innate ability to face and transform the challenges of living, loving, working and parenting. Together we create a compassionate and courageous space where you are heard and understood within the wider context of your family and environment. Using the neuroscience of emotion, this work addresses problems at the root, rather than focusing on behaviours or symptoms.

Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, & emotion or behaviour difficulties can be extremely isolating, leading to feelings of shame and secrecy. Everyday "normal" functions might feel tough. Things as necessary as eating, moving, & relationships might feel confusing, overwhelming, or scary. It may feel like your nervous system is hijacked & you react in unintended ways. One's inner world becomes chaos, while those outside say "it's in your head". Trauma informed therapy recognizes that experiences shape our symptoms/coping strategies. Working together we calm the nervous system, develop new ways to cope, and discover new ways of being.

Simone offers a body-mind approach to therapy informed by her background in meditation, yoga instruction and visual and performing art. As a therapist, Simone balances creativity and playfulness with non-judgmental attentiveness to being in the moment.

However you are arriving at therapy, I welcome you. My work focuses on the way early relationships and experiences impact who we are now – in relationship with others, with ourselves, in the world. Do we feel safe? Do we know our needs and how to get them met? How are our protective strategies helping or hindering us? How might we deepen connection with others and ourselves? My work is also informed by my creative practice (music and writing), so I enjoy working with artists facing creative blocks, life/work balance challenges and feelings of precariousness.

As a philosophical therapist, I offer a supportive environment in which to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as stimulating dialogue in which you will strengthen your ability to face challenges by using creative and deeply reflective thinking. The idea is to think big and come at problems from a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective. I also help problem-solve at the level of habits, when it's time to put our philosophical reflections into practice and make desired changes at the level of daily living. The goal is to discover a greater sense of possibility and to use that to live with greater clarity and authenticity.

I emphasize respect, compassion, authenticity and professionalism in my psychotherapy work with individuals and couples. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and member of the Canadian Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with three client populations: individuals seeking general psychotherapy support (often on a medium to long term basis) ; couples seeking support and guidance in their relationships; and individuals and couples seeking therapy for sexual concerns.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a MA in Psychology from McGill University. All of my services are directly supervised by a registered Psychologist who is an ongoing source of clinical guidance and feedback in my work. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

What if you could talk to your partner without it becoming an escalated argument every single time? How would you feel to have just one day, without feeling stressed, sad or anxious? How would you feel if you were able to have a healthy routine? How would you feel if you managed your anger effectively? Imagine if you were able to talk to someone without any judgement? How you feel to live without guilt? Good, right? I can help you with that. I give clients the space to talk about their feelings and thoughts to help them manage their emotions effectively and live fuller lives.

Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. In the course of a lifetime, crises happen, unpredictable challenges arise, and in response we develop habit patterns that are often protective but also inhibit our growth and freedom. Therapy will help clear the path so that you can see a way forward. I walk that path with you and provide a container for self-exploration and inquiry. I work with mood disturbances, trauma, attachment issues, self-esteem, and spiritual emergence. Depth therapy is a journey that will take you into yourself and lead you back to yourself while being witnessed by a safe, compassionate presence.

Feeling stuck in a confusing or unhappy situation is painful. Recognizing the same issues and patterns arising time and again despite all efforts to move past them is disheartening. My role is to support you with compassion and curiosity in order to bring all the parts of you, even the wounded or troublesome ones, to the table where they can be honoured and learned from. As your clarity and self-awareness increase so will your capacity to make conscious choices that are in line with the life you wish to lead.

As a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist, an important aspect of my clinical practice is to work collaboratively with you, maintain confidentiality, and create a safe space for you to discuss your concerns. I provide person-centred, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive clinical approach to my practice. I work from a non-judgemental, empathetic, and empowering view to support you in recognizing your strengths.

I am dedicated to the emotional well being of children and their families and to help them find the equilibrium that respects everyone's needs, temperament, developmental stage and aspirations. I use a wide range of approaches tailored to the child and family such as play therapy, art therapy, narrative and solution focused approaches, mindfulness, parent-child attachment and positive behavioural support strategies.

We all experience points in our lives that can be challenging to manage. Traumatic events, loss, conflict, and crisis impact all of us. When these difficulties begin to impede our daily functioning, mood, and relationships, online psychotherapy can help. I am committed to a collaborative, encouraging, and non-judgmental approach which supports self-awareness, healing and growth. My areas of expertise include helping adults, youth, and children overcome anxiety, trauma, depression, panic, agoraphobia, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, chronic pain, and a range of mental health disorders.

Hi. I'm glad you're here. You may have landed here because you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, loneliness or depression. Or you might be doing alright generally but could use some support as you navigate a life transition (such as new parenthood, loss of relationship, loss of a loved one, career change, or maybe adulting). Maybe you're in a bit of a rough patch and could use a dedicated space to work through it. Wherever you're at, whatever you're dealing with, I aim to meet you where you're at.
