Codependency Therapists in Barrie, ON

I am accepting new clients for counselling and for my FREE Trauma Recovery Group on Tuesday nights. I offer compassionate therapy for trauma, grief, eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sexual orientation, serious mental health issues, dissociation, chronic pain, concussions, childhood abuse, relocation issues, sleep, anger or anything else. Everyone gets stuck from time to time. You don't have to be alone any more. I will adapt my style to your individual needs. I believe that behind your struggles is an astonishing ability to find hope, healing, strength, creativity, connection and fulfillment.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, or lost at this point in your life, I will work with you to make sense of your experience in a way that empowers you to find your way forward. You may be having relationship difficulties, feeling generally unhappy or discontent with yourself, or simply struggling to find your place in the world. You may be grappling with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, or experiencing the effects of trauma. Whether you are finding it hard to cope with recent challenges or have been grappling with your issues for many years, you don't have to go through it alone.

Navigating the struggles of the human experience is not easy. Traumatic events, times of stress, life transitions, grief, and loss can be unsettling and overwhelming at times. With support, these situations can offer opportunities for growth and transformation. We can work together to re-establish strengths and face challenges through compassionate, client-centred, non-judgemental, collaborative goal-setting, skill development, and meaning-making.

I am a registered social worker and practicing psychotherapist who believes in collaboration throughout the course of the therapeutic process. I believe in potential, self-witnessing and capacity building from the inside out. With a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Ryerson University and a Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, I help my clients find themselves and navigate their unique healing path with compassion and empathy. My education and lived experience enables an offering of an individualized therapeutic care experience that examines the roots of my client's concerns.

The ripple effect of addiction and mental health issues can hold us hostage, interfering in our ability to live fulfilling lives and develop meaningful connections with others. Many harbour a sense of shame reflective of stigma which serves to silence and with that dismiss both the severity and prevalence. It is common to have developed and maintained coping mechanisms that no longer serve a purpose yet have become habitual and with that familiar. Therapy is a place where thoughts and feelings are explored, validated, and with that normalized. Healing occurs through self-discovery and the sense of empowerment that accompanies this.

I work primarily with empaths, highly sensitive souls and people who tend to take on the 'caretaker role'. I support people through anxiety, self-criticism, people pleasing, and difficulty putting themselves first. I help people understand and communicate their needs, boundaries and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.

Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up. When working with me, nothing is off the table – if it’s important to you, then it is important to me.

Hi I'm Samantha and I'm so glad you're here. In therapy I will walk alongside you –meeting you with warmth, patience, curiosity, and openness. I'll show up without judgment or expectation and hope to create a space that feels comforting and safe to you. My approach to therapy is collaborative and informed by an anti-oppressive, feminist, and trauma-informed lens. Together we'll create a rhythm for therapy that honours your individual experiences, values, and needs.

Do you want to make a change in your life, but don’t know where to begin? Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, confidence, loneliness or relationship issues? Life can be overwhelming, and a build-up of these issues can create a vicious cycle that can cause you to feel isolated and stuck. I’m here to tell you that you do not have to navigate through your struggles alone, your suffering matters and there is no concern that is too small or big for exploration. I am happy you took this first step to improve your wellbeing and lifestyle.

What’s on your mind? From finding the right words- to saying them out loud- giving voice to your thoughts can be scary. Struggles with relationships, self-esteem, anxiety and immigration can feel overwhelming to anyone. Finding a safe space and a non-judgmental perspective can be one of the best ways to process your feelings or thoughts. Having lived and worked in Brazil, the U.S., and Canada, I understand how different experiences and cultures can help shape who we are. I bring this empathy- and curiosity- to my practice. I can help you find out how to feel like yourself again, even if you're at a different phase of your life.
