Relationship Issues Therapists in Barrie, ON

At the heart of my therapeutic philosophy is the fundamental belief in the powerful impact of therapy to help individuals and couples heal and grow. I believe that every person deserves to be heard and each unique story and challenges are met with compassion, non-judment, and deep listening.

I provide personalized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals, offering empathetic support to navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, trauma, negative thoughts, anger, and grief. In couples therapy, I utilize the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for improved communication and to address issues such as infidelity, trust-building, premarital preparation, conflict resolution, parenting concerns, and guiding couples away from divorce with empathy and understanding.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.

Although pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, you don't have to go through it alone: I am here for you without conditions. In our sacred space, I will walk alongside you as a secure anchor in your life mirroring that of trust, safety, and a non-judgemental atmosphere.

With a foundation rooted in Relational Gestalt psychotherapy, my role as an enlightened witness supports you as you feel your feelings, strive to make sense of how you approach the world around you and proceed on your healing journey. I work from an embodied approach to support you as you explore your difficulties, past and/or present, that you may struggle to verbalize. My compassionate side, with a little humour thrown in for good measure, makes difficult feelings a little easier to navigate. We can use conversation, movement, art, music or role play during our sessions—whatever interests you.

If you're waiting for a sign, this is it. I'm so glad you're here! The human experience is HARD. Unresolved grief and trauma can leave us feeling disconnected from our true selves and stuck in a cycle of shame. I focus on meeting clients where they are at and providing a collaborative, safe space to allow you to say things you haven't been able to express before, and support you in figuring out how to live a more authentic, fulfilling life, while processing how your past has shaped and impacted you in many ways- but does not define you or your future!

I worked for 17 years providing community based therapy/counselling as an Addictions Therapist with a premier mental health and addictions hospital. Recently I have been the Senior Clinician with a community based mental health services program. I offer personalized and confidential services with a non-judgemental, empathic, and supportive approach. Along with Addiction based services for individuals and their family members, I have worked extensively with parent-teen and family based conflict, relationships, domestic violence, trauma, anger management and conflict resolution, mental health (eg. anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, stress, suicide) as well as school refusal and peer difficulties.

When a transgender youth comes out to their family, the whole family experiences a transition. For youth, family acceptance, celebration and support are integral to feeling safe, secure, and authentically themselves at home. For parents, their child coming out as transgender means learning to reimagine a new future and gender for their child. Reimagining a child’s future can feel scary when first learning that your child is trans- parents and caregivers often worry if their child will be misunderstood or be the victim of transphobia or violence. These worries can make envisioning a future worth celebrating feel difficult for parents

My work is relational, trauma-informed and attachment-based.

We often feel like we would like to change things in our lives, be a better parent or spouse or learn how to cope better with the way we manage stress. Having a deeper understanding of mental health and how it affects our mind and body can allow us to work towards healthier solutions to improve our lives.

Hi my name is Bridgette. Thank you for viewing my profile. My belief is that everyone has a story, that every story matters and that when we are in pain our story must be heard. When we are suffering and feel we are alone or unheard, it can result in feelings of hopelessness, inferiority and diminish our self esteem. It can impact our ability to cope with the demands of life, our ability to feel whole, to feel safe and can drain our physical and emotional energy. Therapy can help us move beyond this state. It is possible to find yourself...

Owner & operator of, Therapy with Alex: Trauma Based Services, located in Simcoe County. I am pleased to offer services for all types of experiences for any demographic. Doing private therapy services part time, I am also an authorized child protection worker. I have experience working with issues from childhood abuse, to familial conflict, neglect and more. I have since completed an advanced certification in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). Through my years of practice, I now primarily work with complex traumas and personality disorders; however, this is not limited. I say to folks, nothing is off the table.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people 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. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. 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.

Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.
