Multicultural Therapists in Kincardine, ON

Welcome! I created Well Therapy to bring a fresh approach to counselling. Maybe you have been to counselling in the past, or maybe this is your first time considering it. Either way, you are here because you know that something needs to change, and you’re ready to make that happen. I believe you have the tools to solve your issues, and that together we can break through barriers to improve your overall well-being.

ADHD, Stress/Anxiety, Self-Esteem, LGBTQIA+. You have a hard time "turning off" your racing mind and are feeling stressed. It might be hard for you to focus and you find yourself struggling to get things done. Perhaps you are struggling with procrastination, low motivation, or feeling in a "funk" because life is just too much sometimes. When you are stressed and overwhelmed, it can be hard to feel good about yourself and make the changes you'd like to see. If you are ready to work on yourself and start feeling better, you have come to the right place! You deserve to start feeling like YOU again.

The conditions I primarily work with are ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety and addictions.I am certified as an ADHD-CCSP (certified clinical services provider) and provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy. I have specific experience working with first responders with extensive knowledge of working with complex PTSD, sanctuary trauma, and occupational stress injuries. In my practice, I draw on different treatment modalities in a holistic individualized way to create a treatment plan that will work best for you.

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. My passion is empowering my clients to help them become their best version. As someone who has been through a transformative journey, I understand life transitions and challenges. I hope to meet my clients where they are in their life journey and walk with them on the wellness path to reach their goals. I value creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients by listening to them with compassion and empathy. I am here to support my clients to discover their strengths and achieve their goals.

Your religion, spirituality, or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

Successful therapy depends on a great client-therapist fit. Let's connect if you value a therapist who takes the time to listen, understand and focus on what you bring to each session. My practice is evidence-based, person-centred, anti-oppressive & trauma-informed with a focus on multicultural and biopsychosocial factors to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to share and work through life’s journey together.

Hello and welcome! I am Dr. Subie. I work with adults across Ontario. I provide treatment for various difficulties including: trauma and PTSD, depression, grief, anger, anxiety, OCD, worry, work stress, interpersonal problems, insomnia, and psychosis (e.g., schizophrenia).

There comes a point in someone’s life where they decide, “enough is enough. Something has to change, and this change starts with me.” My ideal client is someone who is tired of old unhelpful repeated life patterns and who is determined to grow and become a better version of themselves. They are individuals who are ready to put in the work to see the results that will lead them to the life outcomes they long for. The issues I have worked for are addictions, men’s mental health, experiences from a multicultural lens, relational issues, and anxiety & coping skills.

Healing starts with Acceptance: Instead of suppressing or denying first, we acknowledge negative thoughts and feelings. Then we work on raising awareness of your unhelpful thoughts and core beliefs coming from your childhood and leading to severe mental issues, like depression and anxiety. My role is to help you notice how you have developed these thoughts and how they affect your feelings and behaviors. You just need believe in yourself and in the benefit of psychotherapy. It is important to consider the therapy without bias and doubt both in you and in me. For more info about me and my practice: www.ahealingsoul.ca

Life isn't simple, it's filled with experiences and emotions that can be overwhelming and stressful. As experts of our own life, we interpret and internalize various situations and experiences with different lenses and perspectives. Living in the most multicultural city in the world, we are given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, insight and perspectives from various cultures and traditions that we can utilize to understand people. I provide an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy to deal with trauma, loss, relationships, conflict, and crisis.

It is so difficult living in a world that wasn’t made for you - that wasn’t made for so many of us. Your life has been very different than those around you, and you’re tired of trying to explain because you’re met with confusion, misunderstanding, or even hostility. Maybe you’re deep in depression, frozen with anxiety, haunted by intrusive memories of past abuse, or trapped in a currently abusive environment. Maybe you’re living as someone you know in your heart you aren’t, or maybe you’ve found yourself, but others have been slow to accept it. Maybe you’re trapped by your own or others’ expectations, feeling like you can’t breathe.

Are you feeling unhappy in life? Do you often feel numb, detached or find yourself in sudden angry outbursts? You are not alone. In an attempt to protect oneself from being hurt again, it is not uncommon to disconnect, or numb out feelings.

I am here to walk with you and support you in your journey. If you're here means you may be searching for a change. It takes a lot of courage to choose you. Congratulations.
