Lesbian Therapists in N6B

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS with daytime and evening appointments available! Welcome to our clinic - we are a team of professionals who understand that finding the right therapist is no easy task. We are trained in different approaches such as neurofeedback, ACT, CBT, and DBT, to effectively support our clients.

Hi, I’m glad you found us! Are you struggling with your relationships, mood, or low self-esteem that affects your ability to be authentic and happy? Do you feel disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed with emotions? In this impersonal, and tumultuous world, we’re all feeling the weight of our emotions, daily responsibilities & uncertainty about our futures. What if you found something that helped you tap into hope for the future, confidence, calmness and contentment in your life? We believe that therapy can be this “something”, helping you live a life that feels better for you.

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives and relationships in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things and people that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a values-driven life. Dedicating time and space to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

Waitlist: accepting clients for July 2024. You may be unsure of what you're looking for but feel there are parts of yourself that seem out of touch with the world and yearn to feel, see, and experience more in your life. It can feel overwhelming to sit with a stranger and explore new and vulnerable parts of yourself but I promise to make you feel safe and heard. Often times our areas of needed growth are exposed through this vulnerability which allows us to explore parts of ourselves that weren't accessible before. I help individuals find connection with the things they care about most in their lives.

Do you feel like you’re trapped in a cycle? Maybe your identity and relationships seem complicated or stuck in place, or you’re struggling through a time of major change. Perhaps you feel like you can't meet expectations or that the people around you don't understand you. Working through these experiences in a supportive environment can help you see complex situations more clearly or make them feel more manageable. If you're ready to take this step, we'll start by building a sense of safety and trust with each other before jumping in.

Hi, I’m Cher! Are you struggling with low self-esteem, mood, or substance use that affects your ability to be authentic & happy? Do you feel like you’re struggling in your relationships, due to communication issues, being gaslit, or abused? In these messed up & tumultuous times, we’re all struggling more than usual. Now more than ever, we’re feeling completely overwhelmed and anxious about how we're supposed to manage it all. It shouldn’t be so hard to live a life that feels good, and I truly believe that therapy can help you make things feel better!

The LCTT is an award-winning psychotherapy clinic. We understand your pain- depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelm. We know you're tired of living the same old story, that you want to move on from the past but don't know how. When your parenting, relationships and happiness are all suffering, you need change and you need help. It is so frustrating when you wonder, "what is wrong with me?!" or- you know what's wrong, but have no idea how to change. Maybe the ways you have tried before have failed you, or only lasted a little while. Take a breath- you're in the right spot and we are going to help you transform.

Have you been struggling with the same issues for a period of time? Have you tried different things but it just doesn't seem to make a difference? Have you been thinking maybe it's time to get another perspective on some things in your life? As each individual is unique, so is the therapy. Your counselling sessions will consist of a collaborative process of developing mutually defined goals and identifying the process that best serves you. Custom Counselling can provide you with that perspective that can make a difference and help with those issues with which you have been struggling.

As human beings we may feel lost/stuck due to painful or challenging life experiences. This can impact our ability to live our lives fully. I am passionate about working with individuals who have concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, grief, and life transitions/work-life balance. Support may look different for each person, while some may want to focus on building coping strategies, others may seek a deeper healing process. One of our first steps will be building awareness of your needs, the change you want in your life and identifying your goals to make this change possible.

Facing loss, sorrow and grief can be so isolating. It can be hard to know where to turn, and often times a mainstream approach won't help. If you've faced trauma, loss, depression, grief, or struggle with your self-esteem or identity, I understand. I am sure that you want to feel deeper connections to yourself and others. You want to feel free and hopeful. You want to make meaning of loss and allow it to move you forward in a healthy way. You want to let go of traumatic responses that keep you stuck. Perhaps you're looking for healing methods that incorporate more than just talk therapy. I see you, and know that I can help you heal.

Processing your thoughts and emotions can be challenging and often leaves people feeling lost and alone. What if you could have a safe place, free of judgement to share your story. Often, emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression are related to deeper issues that have not yet been resolved. Together, we will explore issues that have left you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and begin your journey towards growth and well-being. Whether you have had a traumatic experience, are experiencing emotional difficulties, are stressed out and struggling with setting boundaries, I believe healing is within reach.

When you are feeling out of sorts. When you are feeling like you are no longer in control of your own story. When are looking to make a change and try a different path, I might just be the counsellor for you. I use a client centered approach to help you find your own story again and give you the tools to be content in the identity you are discovering for yourself. We can develop a solution that gives you more control over your own life. For online and out of London, ON, you can book here https://www.shiftcollab.com/therapists/kimberly-gautreau

Being a teen is truly an effort- for everyone involved! If you're a teen or parent of one, I am here to help. In the teens years, you go through so many tumultuous changes. Issues with body image and eating can rob you of your happiness and joy. Parents struggle and feel helpless as they watch mood changes, relationship issues and anxiety reach new levels of intensity. As a teen, you might feel so misunderstood by friends, parents and teachers. You might be struggling with persistent feelings of unhappiness, anxiety or depression. It can be hard to manage all of these pressures and changes. You can take a big breath- I am here now!

Sometimes life presents challenges and struggles that signal us that it’s time for internal and/or external change. Change isn’t always easy and it can be hard to let go of what no longer serves us. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, or transitions that have impacted how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Sometimes we need some help to navigate the journey and find our way back to ourselves. You don’t need to do it alone.

I've worked therapeutically with diverse populations, in correctional and community settings, with families, adolescents and adults, for about 20 years. My approach is nuanced and responsive; my lens is anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma informed, queer and trans affirming, and psycho-dynamically and somatically attuned. To me, this means listening to, and noticing with you, communication from various verbal and non-verbal levels. It also means witnessing and acknowledging cultural, systemic, and familial legacies of power and oppression and their impact on our internal and external lives.

Starting therapy is a brave and transformative step towards improving your mental health and overall well-being. I can also appreciate that beginning this process may feel intimidating and/ or overwhelming too. As an experienced and compassionate professional, my intention is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work towards achieving your personal goals and building the skills and tools you need to lead a fulfilling life. I have a physical office in London, Ontario and work with individuals, virtually, across Ontario.

Every person has the capacity for growth and change, and together we can work to form goals to help you meet your full potential. This could mean that you are looking to develop skills and new abilities to support yourself, or perhaps you want to understand your life on a deeper level. Exploring your internal world, such as your thoughts, emotions, past experiences and values, is an important part of our work, including your beliefs about your life and the world. During our time together, we work as a partnership to develop new insights which can alleviate difficult thoughts, cohere your identity and enhance your life.
