Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), BA, MA, CRPO
Waterloo, ON N2V
Do you feel stuck in old patterns, ruminating thoughts, repetitive behaviors, or uncomfortable, overwhelming feelings? With compassionate care and support, change is possible, patterns shift, feelings flow, and growth can happen.
What are often labeled “symptoms” are, to me, the creative and protective responses we develop to help us survive. I don’t see these parts of you as problems to be fixed, but as messengers, carrying stories of pain, resilience, and unmet needs. Together, we can meet these parts with compassion, curiosity, and care, moving toward greater acceptance, peace, and wholeness, to support the change process.

Do you ever feel stuck in patterns that you know aren’t working, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to shift them?
Maybe you’re spending your days just trying to survive. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s gone from the promise of connection to a place of distance, loneliness, or escalating conflict. You might feel like you're living with a stranger, or worse, like you’ve become a stranger to yourself.
These experiences are disorienting, painful, and confusing, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Canada hold various licenses depending on their training and provincial requirements. Common therapy credentials include Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Psychotherapists, and Certified Canadian Counsellors (CCC). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
