Psychodynamic Therapists in Belleville, ON
Many of my clients seek relief from issues they find painfully disruptive as they struggle to manage or change their circumstances. They have difficulty developing healthy coping mechanisms for their situation, and it is now manifesting in faulty perspectives, assumptions or values. My approach to counselling focuses on the client by looking at coping skills for immediate relief and then heavier issues to understand the source of pain. If you are struggling to take the first step on your therapy journey I will walk you through some of the uncertainty and help ease your worries during your intake session.

We offer trauma and relationship therapy, using an anti-oppressive psychodynamic approach to co-create a space with you that will allow you to work through patterns and support you in strengthening your toolbox for life!
Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can't seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don't set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts, images, impulses or urges that cause you anxiety? Are you confined to a personal prison due to your compulsions?

I often find it useful bringing in Psychodynamic & Relational theories into my practice, though I also use tools from CBT & Buddhist Derived Interventions like Mindfulness.
I am a unique therapeutic service dedicated to recovering what I believe is the essence of psychological treatment: holistic treatment of the entire person. We are not made of bits and pieces; we are not divided into sections and we deserve to feel whole. I work with adolescents, adults, and veterans/first responders.

I am able to conduct assessments (e.g. VAC, WSIB, & Psychoeducational). I also provide supervision required for the college of CPRO and CPBAO.

I work with people who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, and the long-term impact of carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are first responders, frontline workers, or those navigating high-pressure lives, people who are used to holding it all together, but are finding it harder to manage alone.
Our work begins by slowing down and making sense of what you’ve been carrying, the stress, the emotions, the survival strategies that may have once helped but now feel heavy or limiting. Together, we’ll look at what’s shaped you, what feels stuck, and what needs space to heal.

After years of working in both private practice and with our local Family Health Team, I bring a broad and compassionate perspective to the many challenges we encounter as human beings.
With a focus on helping clients process painful childhood experiences, trauma and the resulting defenses and problematic behaviour and addictions, I draw on approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I work with individuals struggling with addiction and support couples in building deeper understanding, healing, and connection.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, chronic pain, trauma, or OCD? Our emotional struggles can often accompany a disconnect between ourselves and others in our lives, and also between our minds and our emotions and bodies. When we do not feel whole we do not seem to be able to live fully and meaningfully within ourselves or in our relationships. Instead, we are met with painful emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms that hold us back in life. You are not alone in this struggle. I can help you reconnect with yourself. I work with teens (14 years and older) and adults.

Hi there, I'm Erin. I've been a psychotherapist in private practice for 11 years now, working predominantly with individuals who suffer from the effects of abuse and trauma, especially in childhood, and are wanting to take steps on their personal journey. The people I seem to work best with are those who may identify as highly sensitive to the world around them - those who think, perceive, or feel deeply. My clinical experience includes working with anxiety and depression, complex trauma, grief, eating disorders, relationship issues, sexual trauma, adult children of alcoholics, and BPD.

I work with Veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing trauma, including acute, chronic, complex, and developmental trauma. Many come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they cannot seem to think their way out of—hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, anger, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a sense that part of them is still living in the past. Together, we work to understand what is driving these patterns, process unresolved experiences, and create meaningful change that extends beyond symptom management into everyday life.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
