Therapists in Burford, ON

Through a collaborative, non judgemental approach to counselling based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and grounded in attachment science, I work with Individuals (16+), Couples and Families. By identifying unhealthy patterns in our current and past relationships with ourselves and others, we can often find room for healing, growth and enhanced authenticity. This approach can help address today’s mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, addiction, and even trauma, as well as all forms of relational challenges.

I work with all stages of the life cycle with a particular focus on children, youth and families. I help individuals figure out what goals they wish to achieve and support them to make a plan of how to get there. It is wonderful to talk to family and friends but they are often not "neutral" in terms of the support they provide. Having someone to talk to outside that circle to listen, reframe what is going on and offer strategies can be invaluable!

I aim to provide you with a safe, caring, nonjudgmental environment where you are free and comfortable to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I intend to stand with you as you begin the journey of finding solutions, meanings and ultimately healing.

Even good people make mistakes sometimes. If you're struggling with the choices you’ve made in life, let’s talk. Whether you have regrets about past relationships, how you’ve reacted out of anger, or if you’re grieving the loss of someone whom you never got to say a final goodbye to, there are ways to process this. I work with people who are feeling shame, holding secrets, or who may have felt forced into a corner, and are feeling the repercussions of those moments. I’m here to support you in moving forward, in making the changes that you recognize need to be made, and in learning to forgive yourself for being human.

I am Angie, Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist. My clients feel respected, valued, and appreciate the wholistic approach I take working through mental illness (such as trauma, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, growth and development) towards mental wellness. I provide a safe place to talk and most importantly be heard. Working on a plan where you feel comfortable to build the skills you need to manage the thoughts, life circumstances and path life is taking you. Developing skills and personal growth so you can feel prepared to deal with confusion and overwhelm when it shows up. You don't have to feel alone on this journey of life.

Are you struggling? Overwhelmed? Feeling frustrated or stuck? Maybe you've noticed waves of anxiety or periods of low mood. Taking care of our families, our loved ones and ourselves can feel like it's too much some days. You are not alone. Maybe you'd like to talk about strategies that might help ease the tough moments, or maybe you just need someone to sit with, while you talk about the hard and scary stuff. We often brush aside our own needs to take care of our people, until it bubbles over and we don't recognize ourselves. Let's get back to you.

My space is a small cabin located within 5 acres of outdoor space. This allows for a very naturalized counselling experience. Walk and talk along the trails, Adirondack chairs deep within the wooded area or the shelter of the small cabin are your choices, for each appointment. The space allows for relaxation and grounding to be experienced very naturally.

I work in a private, rural setting, drawing clients from Haldimand-Norfolk County. My clientele is of all ages, with various mental health challenges. I primarily use Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy. Many of my clients are coping with negative emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia and abuse. Many are challenged to control overwhelming emotions such as anger, guilt and shame. Many clients are struggling to accept major adjustments in their lives or are struggling to make decisions or solve problems in personal and professional areas of their lives.

You are the expert in you, I’m here to help you in exploring yourself deeper. Clients from ages 10 to 100 will find space with me which is collaborative, individualized, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I work with individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues, relationships or exploring who they are, couples/relationships in need of repair or who want to ensure they are continuing along in a healthy way as they plan their future together, and families who may be struggling to reconnect, understand each other, or who want to ensure longevity in their system.

The first step is the hardest and making changes in your life can feel overwhelming. Your journey is unique, but you are not alone! My sessions offer a safe and supportive place where you can feel comfortable expressing your feelings and emotions and where vulnerability does not mean weakness.

First Responders: are you feeling fatigued beyond usual, or perhaps you are struggling with memory or irritable mood? Is it getting harder for you to get motivated to show up? Are you startled by noises and flashes. How is your level of hypervigilance, extra alert to a fault? First responders are at a much higher risk of experiencing symptoms of PTSD and with that usually comes along depression and fractured relationships. PTSD is a silent dis-order. It can ruin lives, families and test everyone's tolerance.

At times, our distress can be overwhelming but when we walk together it builds strength. The therapeutic relationship is an important aspect which will strengthen as we navigate your present concerns. As we delve deeper into the presenting issue there’s the consideration of your own strengths, lived experiences, culture, and background. These aspects are taken into consideration when establishing treatment and goals for treatment.
