Teen Therapists in Bradford, ON

No Waitlist! Hi, My name is Lisa and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario. I am currently finishing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University. I believe everyone can benefit from talking to another about life’s triumphs and challenges. Therapy can be a wonderful option for all, no matter the level of need. Whether it is to maintain a semblance of normality, control, and comfort in one’s life or to work through some of our most difficult experiences. I believe in the importance of early childhood development, and helping families develop positive, supportive relationships.

It might be hard for you to focus and you find yourself struggling to get things done. Perhaps you are struggling with procrastination, low motivation, or feeling in a "funk" because life is just too much sometimes.

I am a registered social worker with over 15 years of work experience. I have helped people who experience issues such as: depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, trauma, anger, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, grief, and family conflict. My journey into social work began at age 14, when I lost my father to cancer. Because there were few supports available at the time, I felt alone and stuck. This prompted me to dedicate my life to assisting others during difficult times, and help them realize they are not alone.

I will assist you to gain insights, recognize strengths, leverage existing skills and capabilities, and to adopt helpful tools and approaches that will help you reach your goals.
