Therapists in Barrie, ON

Let's face it: managing your mental health is difficult, and supporting a loved one is even more complicated. As an immigrant, I have witnessed firsthand the trauma, uncertainty, and shame that comes with asking for help from others, especially if you receive neither acknowledgement nor acceptance. I understand how challenging it can be not to know where to turn, let alone who to turn to. It takes strength to be resilient and courageous enough to seek assistance. I'm here to assist and guide you as you go on this self-discovery adventure

Hi There! My name is Angela, I am a Black Canadian therapist of Ugandan/British heritage. Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress or low self-esteem?

Currently, we are living in a world that is at best tense, and finding our peace is a daily struggle. In our lives, we are encouraged to, told, and at times, forced to continue as if nothing is happening or seriously wrong. In my practice, I provide space for open dialogue and a holistic approach to therapy which encourages recovery and healing. In my over 17 years of working as a clinical social worker with youths and adults ranging from diverse & intersectional backgrounds, I have learned that the space we create together in combination with the relational work is the most important.
