Female Therapists in N1H

Are you looking to strengthen your relationships? Do you want to understand yourself better? When you are in nature do you feel rejuvenated? For nearly 20 years I have been providing individual, couple, and family therapy. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist & Approved Supervisor/Mentor with CACFT. In addition to my clinical training and experience, my specialty is including nature in the work. For some that could be addressing eco anxiety concerns, for some that could be having a phone session while walking in a forest.

My psychology practice focuses on assessment and treatment of ANXIETY and OCD in children, adolescents and women, as well as parent support. I embrace a holistic approach to treatment that recognises the important connection between mind and body. I employ various evidence-based treatments to guide intervention and support individuals in the promotion of mental health and wellness, including mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). I also offer a self-paced, virtual parenting course with coaching: 'Empowering Your Anxious Child'. Book a discovery call by visiting www.drbevwalpole.com.

Much like other relationships, experience of therapy is co-created by the client and the therapist. I see the job of the therapist as providing a safe environment where the client has the time and space to make sense of their life experiences and maintain a sense of self as worthy of acceptance, kindness, and care.

Sometimes we all feel stuck or like we could benefit from more support. Therapy provides an opportunity to be heard, acknowledge our feelings, and work towards positive changes in our lives. Deciding to reach out for counselling can be an intimidating task, but being understood grounds us in our own truths, bodies and experiences so that we can show up in our lives as the people we truly are. I believe we are most authentic when we can openly and honestly express ourselves in an environment that is both supportive and safe.

In my private practice I offer therapy to people who need more than what they can access through short term services. I have worked in mental health and employee assistance programs (EAP), and enjoy doing longer term therapy. Primarily, I work with adults who are struggling with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, couples with relationship concerns, and people who have life changes they are working through. In my practice, I take an anti-oppression, culturally informed stance to peoples' issues and experiences. I am committed to ongoing professional development.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and stressful, thus making it difficult to cope. Therefore, my hope is to help you work through some of your issues (i.e., anxiety, grief, loss) that you are struggling with by providing the skills, insight, and knowledge you need to lead a life you want. I know talking to someone about painful emotions and memories can be difficult so thank you for taking the first step to seeking help.

I am a therapist who approaches clinical work with compassion and commitment. I treat each client as unique and offer modalities that might range from a single session to ongoing weekly support, depending on the circumstances. I tailor my therapeutic techniques to each client and provide problem solving, active listening and goal oriented therapy. I am experienced in a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, relationships, family issues, school/jobs. I address issues resulting from separation and divorce through mediation, custody assessment and counselling.

Life isn't always easy. It is full of stressors big and small. Some are predictable. Others are totally unexpected. And some are cumulative in that we don't even know that we are being impacted until that day that we hit the wall and find that we just aren't functioning the way we want. We try everything we know to get through tough times, to change how we are feeling, acting, and thinking, but sometimes we need a little extra help.

Life with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) can be rewarding and challenging. Without an understanding of how it impacts our day-to-day lives, we can blame ourselves for things that aren’t our fault while trying to fit into a method of living not designed for our neurodivergent brains. On the other hand, when we understand ourselves and create a supportive environment around us, we can revel in our strengths while compassionately accepting the challenges of ADHD.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling, and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.
