Therapists in Bond Head, ON

I understand what you’re carrying is heavy. Therapists in the past were cold and removed, dismissed and diminished you, not understanding the complexity of gender and identity. You’ve researched, journaled, listened to the podcasts, tried CBT, DBT, breathing exercises; anything to release the fear of having to navigate a dangerous world of violence, hate, oppression, and misinformation. A world that wants you erased. I know this because I see so much of my own story in yours; the black sheep (cycle breaker, dreamer) in a family or workplace that doesn’t know you and makes no effort to do so. You want to feel seen, heard, respected.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in celebrating 2SLGBTQ identities, neurodivergence, harm reduction, building a better relationship with your body and eating, and unpacking the impacts of trauma. If you tend to intellectualize your emotions and struggle to really feel them, my somatic and arts-based approach may work for you. You may already have a clear idea of what you'd like to discuss in therapy - or you may not! Either way is more than welcome.

I work with adults and youth 12+. I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent folks who may be experiencing mental health challenges related to ADHD or ASD, such as burnout, substance use, anxiety and depression, school avoidance, feelings of isolation, relationship challenges, overwhelm, family conflict. I also work with families and caregivers of young people to help support family cohesion.

Are you neurodivergent (Autistic? ADHD?) or partnered with a Neurodivergent person? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or simply life in a world, that has been created for the Neuromajority? Did you grow up in a family in which there wasn't emotional support? Were your needs, i particular your sensory needs, not understood or respected? Our team fully understands those challenges!

Welcome. I’m happy you’re here because it means you believe things can get better, and that means you have hope. Hope is a great starting point. All of us woke up in this place called life, and none of us got a manual, let me help you make the most of it. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and welcoming atmosphere where your bravery and vulnerability are met with a non-judgmental and curious attitude that allows for new insights and self-awareness to surface. I love walking alongside my client’s on their journey to build resilience, tenacity and self-leadership.

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

Hello! I am a compassionate, supportive and collaborative therapist that offers both short term or long term therapy depending on what you need! I am here to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through old pains and new life challenges with yourself or family members.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and rooted in values of diversity, anti-oppression, social justice, and personal growth, and is inclusive of all identities and expressions. I work with individuals and couples with the goal of helping them meet their goals for wellbeing and self-understanding. I work with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, situational stress or distress, emotional exploration, and difficulties in relationships.

Accepting New Clients! I am well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory) with individuals and couples, and mood disorders (depression, anxiety). I have robust expertise in treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. Beyond that I treat struggles of self-esteem/self-worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. I also have lengthy career experience working therapeutically with grief and loss, as well as caregiver burnout. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned and studied so much.

We can spend a lot of our lives in survival mode: feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. Admitting our struggles, needs, or desires for change is a courageous risk—and an opening! I see therapy as an opportunity to explore parts of ourself and our experiences we may have had to set aside before. It’s a chance to grow our capacities to feel, reflect, and connect in a supportive space. A lot happens when someone is walking with you, at your own pace, showing loving appreciation for your unique journey. I won't tell you what healing or a more fulfilling life looks like—I want to explore together what that means for you!

You may be carrying feelings of pain, sadness, confusion or worry. Maybe you are hoping to understand yourself better or reduce the stress of all that you are experiencing. You may have gone through trauma or discrimination. Regardless of what brings you to reading these words, you have recognized the importance of getting support. Walking alone through your struggles is isolating and exhausting. Walking with another can be a relief and foster a sense of hope and direction. You have a right to feel better and reduce the barriers to your life goals. You have the right to be yourself and to feel understood and supported.

You're finished with putting others first. No more compromising your own needs and desires. You want to loosen up the rigid habits formed from traumatic experiences and you're ready to meet the edge of your comfort now.

I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, confidence issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns, and take a special focus in working alongside individuals with borderline personality disorder. I work from the position and understanding that life can be painful but we do not need to suffer. I view adversity as existing on a continuum, where pain is an unavoidable part of the human experience within the context of a persons life. Where healing takes time, and patience but it is worth the struggle, and effort to make the journey there for ourselves.

In my practice, I work closely with clients aged 10-25 as they navigate the complexities of adolescence. I specialize in supporting them through challenges such as identity formation, interpersonal conflicts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, depression, authenticity, and personal expression. My approach fosters a queer-inclusive safe space, offering validation and empathy. Together, we focus on building resilience, self-esteem, and coping skills, while also cultivating an embodied understanding of healthy emotional regulation.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?
