Online Counselling for N3R

Hey! My name is Tony and I’m a Psychotherapist. I work with people who experience various mental health and substance use concerns, and the families and loved ones who support them. In addition, I work with young adults, those going through separation/divorce, and those transitioning into different life stages. I’m also really interested in men’s mental health across the lifespan, and specifically how these issues show themselves in actions and behaviours. I’ve been working in the field for 20+ years and I strive to relate to clients with patience and respect.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Is juggling work and personal life stressing you out? Need someone to understand and offer personalized coping skills? Whether you're a teen or an adult, life challenges can be overwhelming. Let's connect, explore your dreams, and set goals for the life you desire.

Negative thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, trauma, not feeling good enough, masking of emotions, consistently feeling like you’re hanging on by a thread. If any of these, or even a few of these resonated with you, you are in the right place. I take a trauma-informed, and validating approach to psychotherapy in order to hold a compassion space for you to vent and process your thoughts and emotions. Whether you feel like it’s events from the past that are keeping you stuck, or a fear of failure in the future, I want to work with you to help connect the dots and get you living a more meaningful, connected, and authentic life.

As a mental health professional, soccer coach, and father of five girls, I am passionate about helping people of all ages improve their mental health and well-being. I offer counseling services for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma, as well as addiction issues for both teens and adults. My goal is to help people overcome their struggles and lead happier lives. I provide Christian-centered and Indigenous Focus Psychotherapy, which considers a person's spiritual and cultural background.

Established in 1983, Guthrie and Associates has served many thousands of couples, families and individuals like you. We were the first private counselling clinic to practice in Brantford. Building a strong reputation over the past thirty-eight years, we are a recognized place in the community and receive referrals from many professionals, including doctors, lawyers, social workers and clergy. Our skilled team of counsellors include both Clinical Social Workers and a Registered Psychotherapist.

Are you struggling with grief and loss, sadness and depression, anxiety and frustration, or just the stress of everyday life? Loss is more than just losing a loved one. We have lost so much of what we knew as “normal” in recent years. Grief and loss are expected realities of life but you do not need to go through it alone. Connecting with the right therapist can be the first step in addressing your concerns and making a change. My intention is to just be human with you as we work together. I would be honoured to hear your story and support you in creating the rich and meaningful life that you deserve.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals and families who may be dealing with a variety of issues and concerns. We all face different challenges in life that may impact us differently than others, therefore, no issue is seen as less important or not as severe as another. I believe in equality across all clients and building a therapeutic relationship around that. I am a therapist who uses a client-centered approach to the counselling relationship. I believe in working together with my clients toward a common goal using a variety of strategies and techniques that would best suit their individual needs.

Online and in person sessions available. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them manage life challenges, reach personal goals and improve overall quality of life. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to feel heard and supported. Together, at your pace, we will explore the impact that thoughts and emotions have on your behaviours to create new patterns that bring positive change and wellness back to your life. I follow an anti-oppressive approach, supporting clients with diverse needs and backgrounds. Our sessions focus on the client's goals, strengths, developing coping strategies and fostering resilience.

Malgorzata (Maggie) Lulkiewicz-Brooker Registered Social Worker. My services are covered by most insurance and benefit plans.

Chris is a therapist who understands life and human existence can be difficult, lonely, stressful, and sometimes even helpless and hopeless. Chris is concerned about existential questions that everyone must face, human existence, the meaning of life, dying and death etc. In his view, to help clients contemplate those questions would shed light on the client’s deeper understanding/feelings about their lives, empowering them, and helping them get out of the existential trap they are in now.

People often come to me when they: want to understand the “why” behind their stress responses; are highly self-aware but struggle to apply what they know; feel limited by their anxiety and/or depression; want to feel confident in their sexuality and gender identity; feel chronically stressed, burnt out, and dissatisfied with life; are at a crossroads in their life; feel unmotivated and stuck; don't have anyone they can be their authentic self with; are experiencing conflict in personal and professional relationships; want to try therapy for the first time or experience a different approach to therapy.

I believe seeking supports through counselling is an act of bravery and courage and as such I consider it an honour for anyone to confide in me their struggles, hopes and aspirations. My intention is to simply be human with individuals and help guide them along their journey. Therapy is not a fix it all solution, it takes time, practice and most importantly a genuine human connection.

Do you ever feel alone in the world, or like no one understands you? Are you wondering if a difficult experience in your past has not been healed? Feelings of fear, guilt and shame prevent you from speaking your truth. You may be anxious about the future or feel hopeless but are afraid to talk to others about it.

Now accepting new clients! Have you been feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Are you struggling with low mood or anxious thoughts? If you are feeling stuck and that things are beyond your control, therapy can help by assisting you to navigate through difficult experiences, understand what contributes to challenges with overthinking, make changes in your behaviours and thoughts patterns, build resilience, and move towards a life of mental health and wellbeing.

Your unique path to healing begins here. I specialize in helping individuals including children and families overcome the challenges of depression, anxiety and trauma, as well as those experiencing life transitions. Perhaps you are struggling at work or in your relationships or stressed with life in general. I believe it takes tremendous courage to reach out for help, and together we will work toward your emotional well-being and personal growth.

If you want to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so you can authentically express your needs and feel connected to your loved ones, you have found the right therapist!

In our work together, you will discover what is most valuable and important to you at your core, so you can move forward with confidence, clarity and certainty. This is truly transformational work, and you will continue to reap the benefits throughout your life and in all of your relationships.

If you haven't been feeling yourself, for any reason, you can benefit from seeing me, I am a psychotherapist and naturopathic doctor. I take a holistic approach to your care, to promote mental, emotional and physical well-being for all my patients. We will work together to better help you understand and manage the physical and psychological effects of some disorders: anxiety, depression, stress, behavioural and relationship issues.

I believe that people have the strength to find meaningful happiness for themselves, even when that strength feels hard to believe in or to find. I work with people to empower themselves in living a life according to their values and what they find important.
