Therapists in Barrie, ON

My name is Tammy Lalonde and I am an MSW student, at the University of Windsor. My passions include supporting seniors, adults, couples, and families to tackle challenging issues that are getting in the way of them being able to experience their best life. Drawing on my thirty years of knowledge, training, and experience in the fields of Social Service and Education, I endeavour to assist clients to reach their goals in counselling. Using innovative and evidence-based therapy techniques, I aspire to collaborate with clients to identify realistic goals and develop strategies that will assist them in facilitating change.

The pain associated with grief is a natural yet deeply unsettling part of our human journey. My career in the helping profession started as a personal care provider for seniors. The experience brought me closer to families and grief. I have witnessed and experienced firsthand the depth of emotions that arise when we confront loss – whether it is the fading of a relationship, the shift in identity, the disruption of routine or the loss of a dear one. While the journey of loss is one we all share, the grieving process is as individual as each person I have cared for.

Life comes with challenges that can affect how we are functioning in the many roles we hold in our life. Our thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses can really weigh us down. They hold us back, and leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. At these times therapy can be the tool to help you be the best you. It can put you in control of your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and decisions. This leaves us with a sense of balance and peacefulness. I rely on Evidence Based Practice to support people in their journey to wellness. Therapy can include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy,etc.

People don't usually seek psychotherapy when everything is going well. But when a problem arises that demands our attention, it can be an invitation to get to know ourselves better. It can be an invitation to learn about parts of ourselves of which we know so little. As we become more familiar with our inner and outer dynamics, sometimes aspects of our lives which cause us to feel stuck, sad, or unfulfilled, lead us toward a new attitude or way of dealing with our circumstances.

Does it feel like you're floundering in a place you don't recognize? Do you feel alone? Are you dealing with issues that you never imagined you would be dealing with? Are you new to Canada? Life often doesn't play out the way we expect and those whammies can throw us off course in a split second. Reaching out for support is the first step to getting back on track.
