Sexual Abuse Therapists in M9A

We all long to be heard... to have someone witness and lovingly validate our struggles, our painful suffering and our greatest achievements. Did you know that healing happens when we feel we are in a trusting, truly compassionate therapeutic relationship? You probably give more to others than to yourself but you don't know why. You may be burned out, overwhelmed, a PTSD/sexual abuse survivor - or possibly suffering from Covid-fatigue; depressed. anxious and totally stressed out? Your inner voice won't quit and you are so hard on yourself. You are not alone. It would be an honour to help you add peace and joy into your life.

There is no ideal client. No two people are the same and come from the experience even if two people experienced the same event, one's perceptions of the event will always vary from another persons. Wanting to better yourself and those around you shows me that you want change and coming into therapy tells me already that you are looking for that change.

Life can be overwhelming at times! The stresses and traumas in life could lead to depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck amongst others. Seeking help from a mental health professional takes courage and willingness. Finding the right fit to help you with life's challenges is important.

Your life looks great on the outside. You have all the things that should make you happy but you don’t feel that way. You may be struggling with anxiety, unresolved past trauma, or relationship dissatisfaction. Maybe you've been using substances more than usual to cope with feeling overwhelmed, either on edge or just completely disconnected like you’re running on autopilot. You’re used to handling your own problems so it can be hard to ask for help. Other people don’t understand, they think you are fine.

I am a fully licensed Registered Psychotherapist a member in good standing of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CPRO) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor for master's students at the University of Toronto and Yorkville University.

We are a team of mental health professionals supporting individuals and couples. We have expertise in working with clients who struggle with interpersonal communication, assertiveness, and problematic emotions (e.g., anxiety, shame, anger) that impacts their self-worth, their ability to function, and their relationships. Some of our clinicians also have specialized training treating anxiety disorders (social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, agoraphobia), obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and complex mental illness, as well as in rehabilitation psychology.

Do you feel overwhelmed and can't see a way forward? Are you experiencing emotional pain or struggling in your relationship? In therapy, you will get support and build coping skills for managing anxiety and depression, recovering from traumatic experiences including PTSD, and healing your marriage and interpersonal relationships. Together on your therapeutic journey we will clarify your questions and concerns related to identity, meaning and purpose, sexuality, substance dependence and addiction, anger and impulse control, and overcoming abuse. Difficult experiences in your past don't have to determine your future.

Everyone’s story matters, and we all deserve a place to share it that is comfortable and non-judgmental. I believe that each person is an expert in their own life. As a therapist, it is my goal to bear witness to your story and help you navigate your current challenges, as well as deepen your knowledge, understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of yourself and others. I am a trauma-informed therapist who uses a client-centered approach, working with different modalities tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

Hi! I'm Natasha Sharma: Therapist, TEDx Speaker, and CEO of NKS Therapy. Do you feel sad, stressed out, irritable or angry?

You might feel helpless and profoundly unsafe in your body, caught in unhealthy behavioral patterns, in chaos of life changes. You may be lost in despair or trapped by overwhelming and painful emotions and reactions that you cannot manage. You know that you are ready to make some changes - and I can help you. My clinical experience includes individual and group counselling to adults struggling with addiction and mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, trauma, family violence, grief and loss. Recovery is a journey and I'm honored to walk by your side in search for the place of peace and growth.

Working alongside my clients, my mission is to create and nurture trusting relationships so we can uncover, understand, and heal the concerns and pains that have led to difficulty and dissatisfaction in their lives. Using an integrative, emotionally-focused, client-centred approach, my goal is to ensure that each person who comes into my office is treated as an individual with a story and history as unique as their fingerprint.

Our mental health can impact every aspect of our lives, leaving us detached or even hopeless. We will work together to create a safe space where you feel comfortable to explore deeper meanings to your thoughts, feelings, past and present. Whatever conflicts you may have and unanswered questions you feel burdened with, we can work together to give you a sense of control and purpose over your health and life. With traumatic events in particular, they can keep us trapped in the past. Our sessions cannot undo your experiences, but they can take away how these traumas show up on a daily basis and give you a much more fulfilling present.

Hi my name is Tracey and I am passionate about helping children and teens learn the skills to be resilient and foster a sense of hope. I utilize a solution-focused approach which builds on the child's strengths and positive outcomes. I use a non-judgmental approach and I present in a kind, supportive and fun atmosphere. The areas that I focus most on are: peer issues, anxiety, family difficulties, school pressures, divorce and relationship issues. I also offer Parenting Support. This focuses on supporting parents by teaching positive discipline choices and other tools for a harmonious home. I work with children aged 3-19.

I have been on this journey of personal development and growth myself, and I understand how challenging it can be to take the step towards transformation. Exploring the inner self, personality, relationships, childhood traumas, and issues that are getting in the way of living a fulfilling life, takes courage. This work is a process and my approach is client centred. As a therapist, I foster a compassionate and caring environment where clients feel safe and supported in their therapy process. I realize the importance of each person's life story and how the uniqueness, and expression of it can impact how they live.
