Drug Abuse Therapists in N5W

Difficult emotions, unresolved experiences and life challenges are often a way of telling us something. Stop. Slow down. They also provide a sacred opportunity to connect with your values, needs, inner wisdom and understanding of the self. In our work together, compassion, curiosity, empowerment and reflection are used to provide an opportunity where you can feel safe, heard and understood. I use a blend of therapeutic modalities to best fit your therapeutic needs.

We have more of an opportunity to become better individuals in relationship with a significant other than alone with shallow relationships. Relationships, Conflict, Anger, Communication, Addictions, are all issues I help people with on a daily basis. I am a Psychotherapist based in London, Ontario; as a registered Social Worker I have a wide breadth of experience in helping people with their life situations, whether it be with a partner, child, or colleague. I do this work because people have value. Everyone has a story of personal pain and my office serves individuals, couples, and families to heal from personal pain.

Everything that we do is a habit that developed based on our experiences in the past. From the moment we are born, we learn how to be in this world and how to be a person. When we are struggling or suffering, and some things are hard and challenging in our lives, whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction, or things we wish we could change, it’s because we've learned a way of being that is now a habit that can be hard to change. But we are whole, exactly as we are! The changes we make are in how we relate to the experiences and events in our lives and, most importantly, to ourselves.

Hi there! I'm Richelle LeBlanc, a registered Social Worker and the owner of Speak Now Wellness (Individual & Couples Counselling). I am currently accepting new clients with evening and weekend availability. I provide therapy to individuals and couples and have extensive experience working with mood, behaviour, and personality challenges which includes anxiety, depression, BPD, grief and loss, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and self-compassion. I also provide support with fitness and/or sports mental health.

Are you someone who has experienced mental health concerns, trauma, and/or addictions? Or are you someone who is at an impasse in your life and thinking about making life or career changes but not sure how to start? Wherever you are in your journey, you may need help addressing trauma that you've been carrying for a long time and the coping mechanisms that you've developed and/or you may want some coaching and guidance on the next steps in your life. I believe we can achieve your goals using therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Walk and Talk and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families since 1993. My work employs cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapy. I believe that we have an immense power to change our lives, and to overcome life's greatest challenges if we are self aware. Using an integrated model of therapeutic intervention which focuses on your strengths, we work together to increase your self awareness, help you identify options and choices so that you can work differently with the issue you face. Through self understanding and education, you become more resourceful in responding to life's challenges.

When life is difficult, we often don't know where to turn. Through discovery and compassion, comes hope and growth and that is the goal counselling aims to provide. I have been practicing counselling for 20 years and I provide individual counselling to those over the age of 16 who are looking for hope, support and growth. I am available to see clients in both London and Ingersoll and my role is to support clients in finding ways to improve the quality of their life and finally feel like they can move forward.

Accepting new clients: Daytime, Evening and Saturday appointments available. Are you going through changes and need support|? Having difficulty coping, concentrating or dealing with things from your past, present or future?

Navigating life's challenges can be a profound journey, marked by both joys and sorrows that may weigh heavily on your shoulders. It's okay to feel adrift, bewildered, hesitant, exhausted, or even isolated. It's valid to feel this way, making your experience uniquely yours—so distinct that it might seem like no one can truly understand. In our collaborative journey, I aim to cultivate a haven where authenticity is not only encouraged, but celebrated. I am committed to accompanying you through every stage of your healing expedition, helping you construct a life rich with meaning and worth cherishing.

Previous experience in supporting humans of all types who are struggling with mental health, trauma, human trafficking, domestic violence, substance use & addiction, managing emotions, relationships, lack of coping skills, decision making, negative views of self, and adapting to life changes. I understand that being a human is hard, and that our life experiences can change how we think, behave, see ourselves, and lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms. I will work alongside you to explore your life circumstances, goals and the possibilities of change, through an eclectic mix of approaches.

The experience of developmental trauma creates a disconnection from one's self by forcing us into a predicament where we have to chose between acceptance and authenticity. As your psychotherapist, I employ a highly conversational and relational, trauma focused approach, to foster insight into the deep-seated roots, and functionality of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. My goal is to help you understand the ways you learned to protect your self and reconnect to and reclaim your authenticity.
