Attachment-based Therapists in Barrie, ON

Welcome to my site. I hope you find this information helpful and informative. My passion is to assist and empower others on their journey of self-discovery. I am a Masters of Social Work (MSW) and a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. My approach is one of transformation through non-judgment, listening, support, empathy, and insight. I operate from a Trauma-Informed Approach (TIA) in acknowledging the sensitive concerns that exist within the clients that I work with.

I believe that meaningful changes come from meaningful connections. I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental, authentic space for you to feel safe to explore whatever brought you to therapy. Through our therapeutic relationship, I will support you to discover or reconnect with your true, authentic self. From this place of genuine connection – change, growth and healing emerge, which allows you to live your most meaningful life. I work with adolescence, young-adults, parents, and adults. I offer virtual sessions & limited walking sessions in Collingwood, Ontario.

At Turner Tucker Psychotherapy we specialize in a variety of clients needs. From our experience in practicing Psychotherapy in varied backgrounds, including community based programs, inpatient/residential programs, and healthcare settings, we have worked with clients to support many different mental health concerns. If you are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia (and other mental health concerns), and/or would like to work toward improving your life in some way, we can work with you and do our best to help support your individualized goals.

A compassionate, holistic psychotherapist offering space, understanding and tools for healing to those experiencing the effects of trauma, relationship patterns, loss, grief and various life challenges and pain. My journey began over 20 years ago counselling street-involved youth, supporting those with acquired brain injury, to specializing in therapy with those on their recovery journey from addiction and concurrent mental health to wellness. That lead me to understanding trauma and learning how we can heal on a mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual and physical level. I am here to support you on your unique healing journey.

Life challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and may leave you feeling anxious, isolated, stuck, or disconnected. When our minds become overwhelmed with negative thoughts and painful emotions, it can feel hard to get through the day, especially if our personal support systems are removed or limited. Negative thoughts can creep in: hopelessness, sadness and self-doubt cloud your vision. I offer therapy for those who are struggling to cope with a role transition, experiencing grief, low mood, anxiety, stress, distressing thoughts, infertility, pregnancy, perinatal mood disorders, pregnancy loss, or feeling isolated and alone.

I offer individual counselling services for adults, using a combination of evidence-based modalities, strategies, and tools that are tailored to your needs. I work with those experiencing infertility struggles, postpartum/ perinatal parents, birth trauma, and people experiencing depression and/or anxiety. I can help you identify your goals, develop coping skills, and process past trauma in order to optimize your everyday well-being, all the while feeling supported and safe. I want to be part of your journey to move towards a place of joy, peace, and resiliency.

Life can present challenges for all of us. Most people will experience some form of depression or anxiety at some point in their life. The support of an empathetic, non-judgmental counsellor can help us to create a plan to move forward when we feel ‘stuck’. If you are experiencing sadness, stress, or worry, I can provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to identify the goals that are most important to you, and support you in reaching those goals.

Welcome, you have taken a great step in being on this site. I am here to help and support you where ever you may be in your journey of healing, coping, or discovery. The relationship between client and therapist is an important one. Our rapport will contribute to successful therapy and to that end, I offer a safe and non-judgemental experience. I believe in the power of hope, coffee and the resiliency of people. I would be honoured to work with you and offer a free phone consultation if you would like to see if I am a good fit for you.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make survivors feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. Do you feel as though a traumatic experience has reshaped how you live your life? Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.

We all get a little stuck sometimes. It may be a stressful situation you're trying to cope with, learning to connect with others again, searching for a sense of purpose in your life, or something that happened in the past that you can't quite figure out how to get passed. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the tasks we need to do in life that we lose touch with who we are and what is important to us. We’d love to help. Sequoia Counselling supports clients of all ages in learning to overcome challenges, face their fears, strengthen relationships, learn new skills, and maintain mental wellness. You're worth it!

At Nalu Therapy, we believe that everyone has the innate capacity to heal themselves.

Even in the best of circumstances change is hard. Unwanted or unexpected change can be even harder to accept. Often during life’s difficult transitions (e.g. grief, loss, divorce, new baby) you’re left feeling lonely, confused and even out of control. Things you once enjoyed may now feel overwhelming and stressful. Many of my clients complain of feeling exhausted, overcome with intense emotions and a general feeling of being "stuck". If you've been trying your best to navigate this alone but aren't seeing the results you want, help is here for you.

Here’s what I do to help. I integrate key therapeutic principles drawing on a wide range of psychodynamic, cognitive behavior and dialectical behavior modalities, in which I invite you to sit down with me in a relaxed, safe, informal way, and talk. If you've never been in psychotherapy, it can be hard to believe that "just talking" can be helpful. But if you’re depressed, anxious and feeling bad about yourself, you can be profoundly helped by an in-depth conversation in which you come to create greater self-understanding, discover insights and meanings, recognize patterns, and explore options and skills.
