Therapists in M6R

One of the many things I can appreciate about our society is how people come from different walks of life - we all have a story. These stories, or worldviews, are what shape our personalities and how we perceive and overcome the various obstacles that life may throw at us. I also understand how beginning therapy can be daunting, so I provide a validating and non-judgemental environment with the goal of making clients as comfortable as possible. Helping clients explore their emotions and navigate any problems they may have, together, has always been a passion of mine.

I believe every client is the expert in their own experiences and I encourage a collaborative approach to therapy. My goal is to help each of my clients live their most authentic and empowered self.

If you work with me, you will find that I am warm, receptive, and engaging. I will offer practical tools and new ways of thinking that you can use right away to cope with the present and make plans for the future. In therapy with me you will increase your ability to feel and regulate your emotions and learn to recognize and disengage from harmful ways of thinking and acting that may be getting in the way of you feeling agency, choice, and engagement in your life.

New clients welcome. I am a registered psychotherapist with over 25 years' experience. I create a compassionate space in which you can reclaim your strengths, and develop tools to move through challenges in life. Therapy can help you gain perspective on your current situation,know yourself more deeply, and reclaim the joy, confidence, and self-love that are your birthright. I am person-centred and collaborative in my approach. I use a variety of modalities to support my clients. Sessions are in-person or online for support with anxiety, grief, depression, life-transitions, recent or childhood trauma and burn-out.

My name is Lee, and I am a Clinical Psychologist at Life in Balance Therapy. I provide clinical assessment and individual therapy services for adults experiencing various difficulties in their lives, such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and other life challenges that often leave them feeling stuck.

I have learned there is wisdom and resilience hidden in even the most painful of patterns, even when these patterns leave us trapped in destructive habits, despair or bad relationships. Once we find the wise intentions behind the old strategies, healing can happen. If you’re used to numbing out or criticizing yourself to get through the hard times – we’ll do it differently. Therapy with me is a judgment-free space to bring your sorrow, anxiety, anger and confusion without having to hide it or push through on your own.

I specialize in assisting adults who are facing challenges with emotional regulation and intense emotions while adapting to new challenges. My primary goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can openly discuss difficult emotions and explore effective ways to express and manage them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, relationship and identity issues, as well as self-esteem.

Do you have an innate sense that there may be a connection to the past that keeps you stuck or repeating disempowering or even destructive patterns ? Do you recognize that living with chronic stress, depression or anxiety is not the ‘'new normal’ for you anymore. Do you feel overwhelmed or even burdened by the people in your life and often experience disconnection from others and yourself? Have you found that traditional talk therapies have only gotten you so far, and are hitting a roadblock that has left you feeling discouraged?

Mindfulness teaches us how to relate to ourselves with kindness. I understand how the struggle to avoid or control difficult experiences can leave you feeling like your own worst enemy. Mindfulness is a different strategy. It's about learning to feel at home in our own bodies and our minds - even in times of trouble. My work is grounded in my own personal practice: a 20 year meditator with 14 years as a mindfulness educator, I'm a graduate of a Buddhist seminary with a master's degree in Counselling psychology and specialized training in working with trauma and abuse.

You're likely here because you’re struggling. You may have experienced a sudden change or transition that you’re finding challenging, or you have a nagging feeling that something isn't right. Perhaps you’re having issues in your relationships or feel blocked from your emotions. No matter what the issue, therapy can help you make sense of what you are going through and ease emotional distress.
