Attachment-based Therapists in Barrie, ON
I love getting to know my clients and getting a sense of WHO they are. Learning about their values and experiences through active listening and open conversation helps me to gain a deep understanding of where they've been and where they want to be. I am open to exploring a variety of topics with my clients including, but not limited to Indigenous (intergenerational) trauma, motor vehicle accident trauma and rehabilitation, and women's issues. Collaborating with my clients to help them achieve whatever their goals are, is my passion, and I can't wait to help you achieve yours!

Hi! I'm Sukhi, owner of Abyss Psychotherapy and a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the CRPO.
Starting therapy can be daunting. You don't have to have it all figured out. And you don't have to figure it out alone. Whether you know exactly what you'd like to work on, or you have no idea, I'd be honoured to sit in the darkness with you until we figure it out.
Abyss Psychotherapy was born from a simple thought: what if therapy wasn't so scary? What if therapy could be the one area in your life you can breathe, fall apart, and let go, without anyone's expectations or judgement?

You might feel unanchored and heartbroken after a death or a loss, or maybe you’re trying to rediscover who you truly are after years of being what others expected of you. Imagine the possibilities that could unfold if you had the right support during this difficult time. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Let's welcome all of the unique parts of your Self, and create a plan to support you moving forward. The “good,” the “bad,” and the “weird” are all welcome here. Spoiler alert: no parts of us are "bad" they're just misguided strategies.

It is the normal experience of struggle and suffering that brings people to psychotherapy. You may feel that something in your life is not making sense or is not working. That may be a relationship, your reactions to life events, the past wounds of trauma that emerge, or other challenging experiences; it is all okay. Whatever it is that brings you in, I maintain that there is nothing “wrong” with you, that there is just something wrong for you. This perspective can seem completely foreign at first, however, it is the process of therapy that can shift the feeling of being “wrong” to an intuitive, felt sense that you are just right.

Hope is hard to hold when the waves of life are crashing over you. But without hope, we lose our anchor, we go adrift, and we can struggle to stay afloat. It is in these moments, we need a life jacket - something to lighten our load, to lift us up, and to help us feel safe. My role as therapist is to provide that support, to hold hope for you in those chaotic moments and help bring calm to stormy waters. Our work is about re-orienting and re-energizing you so you can chart a course for your ideal life.

You’ve noticed your child’s behaviour has changed recently and it concerns you. You want to support them in this fast-paced and competitive world, but you’re not sure how. You want to understand them, but it feels you’re hitting a wall whenever you try to reach them. And you’re getting tired of trying. For children and youth, growing up involves changes that impact their well-being and their self-esteem. With attentive and empathetic support, their ability to cope with these changes can bring them confidence. But without the right support, they can internalize ideas about themselves and their relationships that cause them pain.

If you are someone who is having a difficult time separating their past from their future, you have come to the right place. Our wounds are often originated from childhood and adolescent experiences. When these memories are left unresolved or not tended to, they can show up in raw ways in our present day lives. These wounds could be a result of complex grief, relational trauma, abandonment and many more traumatic events.
Specializing in trauma, grief and sex therapy, I work with a psychodynamic approach to understand your roots and reframe thoughts, behaviors and emotions that no longer work for you.

I am aware of how social and structural systems affect our mood, capacity, self-esteem, and emotional and physical well-being. My approach is one of deep engagement and inclusion; I acknowledge differences in order to understand the complex challenges of navigating a world that can often be dehumanizing. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, workplace stress, intrusive thoughts, and grief. If you are a couple challenged with poor communication, lack of trust and co-dependency, I provide strategies to improve relational breakdown and increase relationship satisfaction.

Do you ever feel really strong feelings like anger, fear, or shame that make you do things you regret? Like maybe you end up doing stuff that hurts you or others, and it's hard to stop? It can make you feel like you've lost control of yourself and your life. Imagine looking back and seeing that things have changed for the good. Picture being able to tell when shame starts creeping in and having the tools to stop it from taking over. You can feel safe knowing that those feelings don't define you. It may still hurt at times, but it won't spiral into a crisis. You'll learn to navigate your days to align with the life you want.
