My passion is to help people regain their inner peace and happiness to live a pleasurable fulfilled life. Life is full of ups, downs and challenges that we are often not prepared for. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but the what matters comes from how many times you get up. I believe the greatest accomplishment is who you become while picking yourself back up. Each new day gives you a fresh start to get back on track and to have the courage to rebuild yourself the way you desire. In therapy we would work collaboratively to address your needs and to determine how best to meet these needs.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman, I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.

If it is relationship issues, changes in life, stress, work, intimacy, marriage, or family.

Sometimes life can be challenging, and making changes feels daunting, and for young people it can be even harder. I specialize in helping children and youth cope with stressors and live their lives to the fullest. I can help parents and children navigate mental health diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, depression and ODD. I also support adult clients experiencing low self-esteem, child behavioural issues, trauma, family conflicts and parenting difficulties. I draw on modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

You take care of everyone else. But who's taking care of you?
Between parenting, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list, it's easy to lose yourself. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you're stuck in loops of self-doubt or "not doing enough". Maybe you find yourself scrolling at the end of the day, completely exhausted, wondering where YOU went. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, or simply not feeling like yourself - you're not alone.
I work with parents of all genders who are looking for support with anxiety, depression, identity shifts, and the mental load that comes with raising children.

I have worked under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist in private clinical practice for the past 8 years with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress of daily life? Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed. You may feel burdened by past trauma or a current crisis, or maybe you are experiencing conflict at home with family, friends or at work. It can sometimes seem impossible to find balance, inner peace, and happiness. Firstly, you are not alone, but your struggles are personal, and can feel isolating and lonely. The truth is that many people find it difficult to acknowledge that they are suffering, and reaching out for help can be tough to do. Sometimes, we forget that taking care of ourselves is important and also worth the effort.

"Sometimes when it feels that life is falling apart, it is actually falling into place". During our life's journey all of us experience times of loss, despair, and loneliness. During these occasions we are often unable to see the patterns we need to change. I have previously spent many years practicing as a nurse. I came to realize that healing the body was less meaningful if the mind is struggling with personal pain.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
