Therapists in N8S

Welcome, I am Meghan Walker; a Registered Psychotherapist, a cat mom, Disney nerd and an advocate for mental health with a passion for working with youth and young adult populations. Being a young adult or youth in today’s world looks MUCH different from previous generations which can be hard to navigate. The constant changes, pressures and messages can be overwhelming and difficult to handle on your own. However, I am confident that I can help you work through challenging and changing behaviours, relationships, and communication styles by building upon skills, knowledge and connections.

Welcome, my name is Naomi Fallon. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am passionate about helping others discover and rewrite their stories. We all need a little help, and we understand that life isn’t always easy. It might be that you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, or grief -and you’re not sure on how to keep “getting through”.

MSW registered in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. I provide guidance that helps you reach your goals, effectively, efficiently, and ethically. YOU are the priority. Turn issues into solutions, eliminate emotional suffering, create healthy behaviours, and improve relationships, with yourself and those around you. My coaching, counselling, and therapeutic services clear and eliminate impacts of stuck points and traumatic experience to help you move beyond hurt and life hurdles. I am here to support you in living the life you want to live.

The path to becoming a new parent can be stressful, unfamiliar, and scary. I help mama’s and mama’s-to-be flow through the ups and downs of infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and all things postpartum. Furthermore, I offer support to dads/partners who are also experiencing the same challenges. I am dedicated to working with you to create your new identity as a parent, while still staying true to your authentic self. I will support you in identifying areas of safety and stability in your everyday life that are of importance to you to help you feel your best through the ups and downs of prenatal and postpartum life.

I have a profound passion for helping athletes from 10 years + to overcome barriers such as performance and pressure anxieties, depressive moods, self-esteem and self-confidence as well as helping men experiencing anxiety and depression. I, too, have struggled with these barriers as a young athlete and realized the challenges and mind-altering beliefs about myself and my potential later in adolescence. Through my years of coaching, I have witnessed athletes of all ages struggle in similar ways. My goal has always been to support individuals who hold themselves back from their possibilities and bring awareness to men's mental health.

As an empathetic and non-judgmental therapist, I provide a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Drawing from my own lived experience with mental health concerns and neurodivergence, I can empathize with the challenges you may be facing in seeking help, and I am here to support you on your journey toward healing. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and collaboration.

The best relationship we should have is our relationship with ourselves. My name is Louise Cocchetto, and I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I am also a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario. I believe the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is essential for success. Therefore, my therapy approach is based on your needs and views. My main goal is to provide an inclusive, safe, non-judgmental and empathic place to help you explore the challenges you may be experiencing.

You feel fatigued, worried, and overwhelmed, and you don't know why. Relationships feel scary, and you long for connection with other people, to feel seen, and a feeling of belonging, yet you struggle to reach out, or you find yourself pulling away. You worry that you won't ever feel like you're 'enough,' and you often wonder what's wrong with you. You want to feel happy. You want to get up daily, ready to face what whatever comes your way, without feeling anxious, worried, or sad. You want to know you have people you can depend on and turn to when you need them. You want to feel alive.

Are you overwhelmed with anxious, depressed or negative thoughts? Do you feel lost or stuck? Does your body ache with pain from chronic stress? Do you avoid or lash out at others? I am here to help you!

Are you feeling weighed down by the pain of loss or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing the confusion that arises when life doesn’t go as planned. Or the self-doubt that can come from choices you’ve made in the past. Along with sadness, you might feel anger or a sense of shame. As a survivor of religious trauma, I have lived experience in the process of moving from this dark and lonely place to healing and hope. Whether you find yourself questioning the beliefs you grew up with or those of a group you chose to align with, we can gently bring what makes you uncomfortable into the light of day and move towards a brighter future.

Black women face a variety of challenges living in Ontario and I know them well. From immigration to workplace trauma, dealing with family, marriage, children, overwhelm and grief, depression, and anxiety. I've lived them all and I'm here to help you find the tools that work best for you! You can and will make it to the other side... you've overcome every obstacle in your life until now, right? You'll make it through this one too!
