Couples Counselling Therapists in Barrie, ON

Now offering Psychedelic Integration Therapy. As we move through life, it's easy to get caught up taking care of everything and everyone at the exclusion of ourselves - yet caring for ourselves and our emotional well-being is the critical first step to having fulfilling and loving relationships. When we neglect ourselves, too often we are left feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted, or resentful. My passion is people. Listening, understanding and reflecting. Getting to the core of their needs and helping them glimpse courageously inside. With a dash of humour! Let’s roll up our selves and create a life worth living for yourself.

As a psychotherapist, my perspective on healing is that we all have within us what we are searching, but we need help in uncovering and recovering that innate knowledge. Let me help you learn to find that knowledge. I see adults individually or within a couple both in person and for online sessions. I provide an empathetic and safe space combined with real practical and tangible support and advice.

I invite you to reflect together on the roads you have travelled as we align with your authentic self. You may be experiencing loss and grief, anxiety, depression, suffering rooted in childhood, relationship , or career. We will compassionately bear witness to your story, identifying strengths and building resilience. We will restore a sense of joy, hope and meaning in your life. My approach is mindfulness-based and grounded in compassionate inquiry. Aspects of didactic, cognitive, behavioural, acceptance and commitment modalities are interwoven throughout sessions.

Need an experienced caring professional to support you through life's challenges? My name is Brittany and I want to work with you in achieving your goal to make life better. I work with diverse clients including children, teens and adults specializing in mental health, family and relationship challenges and coping through life transitions. Therapy sessions are collaborative, focused on working together to create helpful and practical coping strategies. My goal is to work with you to build on your current strengths and resilience to make life better.

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.

Whether seeking therapy for yourself, your family, or a loved one, it is my hope that I can play a role in facilitating lasting change in the lives of my clients. My approach to therapy is based on the belief that, with dedication and perseverance, moving forward in a positive direction is possible. Creating a safe and welcoming environment for you is my priority. Together, we can discuss your concerns, set goals, and work toward making those goals a reality. Throughout the healing process, I will seek to encourage, empower, and motivate you toward the change you hope to achieve.

I believe strongly in a client centered and humanizing approach in my counselling. I focus on ensuring my clients feel that they are in a non-judgmental zone as well as having the comfortability to be vulnerable in expressing their experiences and feelings surrounding them. In my trauma based therapy, I work with my client and their nervous system and work together to better how their experiences and responses are interconnected. I work all ages and offer both individual and family sessions. I am currently offering a discounted rate for my sessions as I am currently in the process of completing my Masters of Psychology Counselling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, ruled by anxiety, and struggling to come to terms with a big life transition or change? Are you a mother and looking for support as you navigate the complexities of the journey of motherhood? Whether you are a new or seasoned mother, you are not alone. I am passionate about journeying alongside women going through big life changes, including but not limited to all that comes with the journey of motherhood. I help women identify what is keeping them stuck, acknowledge the losses and grief that come with the transition of motherhood and start to work with challenging emotions.

I offer in-office counselling through Dandelion Counselling in Orillia. I am a counselor who utilizes a holistic and eclectic approach because I recognize that no single modality meets everyone’s needs in a meaningful way. I value creating a collaborative, therapeutic relationship and I meet clients where they are at in the present moment whether they are seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, feelings and needs, or have specific goals that they want to address.

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.

Have you ever felt utterly alone, anxious, and disconnected? I too felt unsure, overwhelmed, and had trouble coping with life’s curve balls. My journey involved learning to lean into discomfort, to be open and vulnerable, and that one wrong turn does not mean the end. By opening up my authentic self to others and to myself, I learned that I am enough. I believe success in therapy is achieved by using an individualized approach that celebrates the qualities that bring us together as well as those that make us unique. We all face our own battles, but we do not have to go it alone.

How are you feeling? What are you thinking? What actions are you taking? Why are these things happening? Those are some of the classic questions asked by a therapist, but you’ve already been asking these questions. The answers are different for each person, and for different points in time. You might respond with, "I’m anxious, or sad, or angry", "I’m troubled about the past, or I'm worried about the future", "I’m drinking too much, or I’m distancing my family". Sometimes the answer is, "I don’t know, but I want to figure it out".
