Somatic Therapists in Barrie, ON
The ways we learn to cope often make perfect sense given what we have been through. Over time, those same patterns can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, infidelity, and the lasting effects of sexual abuse and assault. If you are caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or carrying something that has never felt fully safe to explore, this is a space built for exactly that work.

I am an integrative therapist with a mindfulness-based approach that considers wellness as a balance between mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects. You will be invited to reflect with compassionate curiosity and kindness on self, relationships, patterns and experiences. We will work together to connect with your inner wisdom and healing capacity as we explore areas of anxiety, relational trauma, depression, loss/grief, identity and/or life transitions.

Many people come to therapy feeling like they’ve been talking about the same problems for years without anything really changing. If therapy has ever felt like going in circles, my approach might feel different. I take a practical and collaborative approach focused on creating real, sustainable change. Our work together isn’t about endless processing or clinical jargon. It’s about understanding the patterns that keep showing up in your life and building tools that actually help you move forward.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy but aren’t sure where to start, reaching out for a consultation is a good first step.

Updated July 2026: Are you between 18-30, highly sensitive, child of immigrant parents, who is doing all the things you're "supposed to" do, but feel like it's never good enough? No matter how hard you try, the people closest to you are never satisfied. The pressure is insane, and you're so incredibly exhausted. You wonder if there's something wrong with you, or maybe this is depression? Is this amount of anxiety normal? You feel like you can't even talk about it - the stigma is so real, but you just know that those closest to you wouldn't understand and might even make it worse. And - you feel guilty even thinking that way. Sigh.

I’m Stephanie. I offer trauma therapy rooted in EMDR, the mind-body connection and the understanding of someone whose been on the other side of the chair. I’m passionate about providing support to the ones who feel like they are holding everything together; the moms, the caregivers, the first responders and the helpers.

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.

I enjoy working with children (7+), teens, and adults. My experience includes offering support for depression, anxiety, stress, attachment, conflict, grief and relationship difficulties.

I have experience working with CAF members out of CFB Trenton where I provided support to military members and their families. I have also worked extensively with children and adults at Therapy Heals providing a safe space to explore current stressors and challenges.

Life is a journey — and sometimes the path is a bit rocky. A helping hand can make the difference between giving up and moving on in both personal life and professional practice. For over 25 years, I have helped people discover their true selves and live their best lives. If you struggle with inexplicable anxiety, sadness or confusion, or feel trapped in a life that doesn’t quite seem to suit you anymore, having a true mirror may benefit you - a mirror that allows you to rediscover who you really are. As a new therapist, you may be looking for the same: someone to help you find your very own path into the profession.

You’re a smart, hard-working, highly sensitive person in your 20s or 30s — but you feel stuck.
You might recognize the patterns: people-pleasing, over-apologizing, oversharing, overworking, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Your anxiety feels constant. Your inner critic analyzes every word and decision. You’re always trying to improve yourself, yet it never feels like enough.
Maybe you’ve wondered: Is this anxiety? ADHD? Depression? Trauma?
You’ve read the self-help books, tried meditation, journaling, mental health walks - you know you’re supposed to “love yourself,” but you’re not sure how to actually get there.

I work from a parts-based and somatic lens, helping clients reconnect with parts of themselves that feel lost, misunderstood, or silenced.
You're the one who holds it all together, until you can't anymore. Maybe you've lost touch with who you are because so much of your energy goes into managing others' emotions, staying 'strong', or keeping the peace. You might feel emotionally blocked, burnt out, or constantly at war with yourself. You're not broken, you've adapted. But you're ready to explore what's underneath it all, make space for your own needs, and feel like yourself again ... even if you don't fully know who that is yet.

I use a personalized, mind-body approach that includes somatic therapy, mindfulness, and parts work.
When you’re carrying more than anyone can see—living with fear, tension, or instability in your daily life while old trauma still lives inside you, —I sit with you with the kind of compassion that comes from both clinical training and lived understanding of how vulnerable healing can be. I work with violence against women, complex trauma and suicidal ideation to help heal your experiences that are impacting the present moment. As a therapist and disability rights advocate/educator, I understand barriers and stigma. Together, we can create a space where your story is believed, your pain is honoured, and healing feels and is possible.
