Welcome to my bio! I am a Registered Psychotherapist providing psychotherapy and clinical supervision services. I have 12 years of international experience working as an integrative practitioner delivering services in multitudinous languages.

In my practice, I create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for all clients. I ensure to create safe spaces where each client is respected, valued, and free to express themselves without the feeling of fearfulness or judgement. I work with clients in having growth be their mission, and healing be their reward. There is nothing more fulfilling than making internal changes and seeing the external impact on yourself.

Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.

I am enthusiastic yet have a calm and compassionate approach as I work alongside my clients in empowering them to heal, grow and focus on improving quality of life. I understand the challenges life presents to us and believe everyone has the potential to embrace these trying moments and create healthy changes and personal growth. I take a holistic approach to support clients through an array psychosocial and mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and stress-related issues.

Does it feel like intrusive thoughts are overtaking your world? Are these thoughts sometimes strange and unusual to your character, or do they go against your values? Are you engaging in mental or physical activities to relieve the feelings of distress or discomfort you may be experiencing?

Hi, my name is Jim, I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario (CRPO) and have a background as a Child and Youth Counsellor. I have been practicing in this field for over 30 years.

**Providing in-person and online counselling to Ontario residents and online coaching worldwide** We are a team made up of Registered Social Workers (MSW) who specialize in providing psychotherapy and mindset coaching to youth (10+)/young adults and individuals along with parent coaching/consultation for children aged 7+.

When people of any age go through stressors and trauma, it is common to feel like life is falling apart. In my own life journey I have experienced traumas, serious illnesses, and deaths of people closest to me. I know what it is to feel depressed and alone. I know what it’s like to grieve and feel like no one understands. My passion is to help people navigate through trauma and difficult situations, and feel a sense of peace and healing. Everyone’s journey is different and unique, so there is not a cookie cutter approach that’s right for every individual.

I've been there, too... experiencing the heaviness of what feels like an unsolvable problem—wanting relief. From my lived experience, I know that in those times, being with another empathetic, caring and compassionate human made a difference in my life. Understanding the power of these connections, I've made it my life's work to be that person for others. I currently work with folks 18+ who envision and hope for something different in their life. Together we focus on changing your relationship to things like anxiety, depression, uncertainty, grief, shame, and questions of self-worth, to name a few.

Do you struggle with maintaining relationships or struggling with transitions in your life as a new parent? Your childhood continues to surface through flashbacks or relationship patterns impacting your ability to trust others and yourself, or have led to struggles with setting boundaries and valuing your own self worth. My clients come to a supportive space to feel heard, understood without judgement. We can work together to help you be more aware of the patterns that are repeating in parenthood, in relationships and the workplace that are not your fault but aren't effective and can be treated with supportive trauma therapy.

Are you, your child/ teenager or spouse having difficulties? Going through a separation and divorce? Life is filled with struggles that at times we need assistance with. Taking that first step to ask for assistance can be extremely difficult. I am a registered social worker with over twenty-five (25) years of experience working with children, youth, adults, couples and families in the field of family dynamics, trauma, grief and mental health. I operate from a client centered strengths-based approach where we can work through things collaboratively.

I am currently accepting new clients for both virtual and in-person counselling. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to express their worries and difficulties. I will help you tap in to your existing strengths and we will work together to practice new coping skills to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. Sometimes life's stressors make us feel like a pressure cooker and we need to "release some of the steam" so that we can cope. Therapy sessions are the perfect place to do this without worrying about overburdening friends and family.

Currently offering virtual support only.... Hi, I'm glad you're here! My name is Whitney. I am a registered Social Worker and the co-founder of Cedar Grove Healing Centre.
