Therapists in Cambridge, ON

Do you appreciate your loved ones, but find it challenging to resolve conflict or communicate well with them? Do you have different desires or sexual interests than your partner(s)? Have you ever found it hard to see yourself in a positive way? These are some of the concerns that we support our clients with, among many more.

Hope changes everything, but sometimes life circumstances can make it difficult to find hope in the midst of what feels like overwhelming darkness. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore past and current issues that may be contributing to the feeling of hopelessness. I work with clients to help uncover the underlying issues that are driving problematic behaviours. Along with talk therapy I use mindful movement and creative interventions to allow clients a full range of expression, and a more holistic approach to healing and recovery. My approach is gentle, and client centred.

Are you burdened with intrusive thoughts from your past? Anxious and overwhelmed looking at present circumstances or with thoughts about the future? I will work with you to explore the root cause of your struggle, offering fresh perspectives and new strategies to help you move forward.

** Accepting new in-person & virtual clients** If you are struggling with the stress of the world, difficulties with anxiety, depression, substance use or in relationships, I would like to help you find a way to change things. Life brings problems and challenges to all of us; my job is to learn who you are and what you want out of life and the problems are getting in the way of what you want for yourself, and then help you find a way to get there.

Welcome! I have experience working with adolescents, adults and couples with a variety of areas including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, interpersonal challenges, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. I have co-facilitated a psychoeducation therapy group for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Regardless of the reasons for starting your therapeutic journey, I am here to listen to your story. I am passionate about creating a place for clients to reconnect with their strengths and achieve their goals.

I am a fully certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) with the International Center for Excellence in EFT. I try to balance professional evidence-based practice with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. I can schedule appointments on evenings and weekends and my office is discretely located. I also offer virtual appointments. Looking forward to meeting you!

I believe affirming mental health and wellness for identifying Black women and identifying women of colour can be achieved. There are times, even the strongest person needs support to manage life's more challenging events. You are not alone in your hurdles. If you are struggling, I kindly welcome you.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, which I approach in a collaborative and relational way. This basically means that I work with you as we take all factors in your life into consideration in order to facilitate meaningful change. I have the tools and professional experience to help you and your relationship get back on track.

Now Accepting New Clients! Throughout our lives, we often come up against many difficult situations and experiences that shape how we view ourselves. Our internal stories created by these events can lead to ongoing conflicts and distress. At times, this can leave us feeling hopeless and cause us to question our strengths and abilities. This is where I help to support you in gaining self-awareness and creating lasting change to reshape your self-image, confidence, personal relationships and regain control over your life. Within my practice, I ensure honesty, compassion, authenticity and genuineness.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple or family who want to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals including emotional and interpersonal wellness supporting an improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated with an eye toward resolution or longer-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My goal is to work with you to make life better.

Welcome to this Balance Self Care, either you or a loved one is grappling with a life-changing event, looking to process the past or really just focusing on the future and how to gain some more tools in your back-pocket. I’m glad you have taken the first step in getting support. Remember that reaching out is the first step to regaining your mental health and vitality back. For so many, it's not one thing that happened, but several trajectory changes that piled one on top of another.

Now Accepting New Clients! At Atlas Therapy, we work with individuals, couples, and families to help them heal, grow, and thrive. We all face challenges in our lives and deserve support, compassion, and understanding. Together we work collaboratively by building on your existing strengths, and understanding and replacing unhelpful or self-destructive behaviours. We offer a non-judgmental space for you to navigate life’s difficulties, cope with stress, and create lasting change in ways that are important to you.

I serve a diverse set of communities, including people of colour, indigenous communities, as well as immigrants. What my clients have in common is a theme of anxiety, depression and feeling stagnant. I specialize in the areas of mental health, trauma and infertility. Other struggles may include feeling lost in your career or your marriage, feeling unable to move forward or feel fulfilled in your life. Often worrying about how life is unfolding and how to move forward without compromising your current situation. As a result, feeling sad, unmotivated, stuck and confused is weighing you down.

As we move through life, we inevitably run into issues that are difficult to navigate, such as trouble with a boss, spouse / partner, or a struggle with anxiety, depression, or stress. We try our best to solve these issues ourselves. Sometimes, no matter what we try, we can feel as if we are 'banging our head against a wall'. These times can be frustrating, tiring, and scary. At these moments, a helping hand and another perspective may be welcome. I have provided this support to individuals, couples and families since 2000. I would be honoured to partner with you.

Parenthood is hard! You know that showing up for your kids helps them grow up to be resilient, confident, and secure adults. But when your tank is empty and you are feeling exhausted, you aren't showing up in the way you want to. You live with guilt, self-doubt and anxiety leaving you feeling angry and lost. You find yourself yelling more than you'd like and resorting to old ways of reacting to your children's behaviour. You're tired and struggle to make it through the day. You want to do better. You long to feel energized, grounded and certain as you make daily parenting choices that will help your family feel more at ease.

I work with individuals, families and couples struggling with trauma, relationship struggles, tough family dynamics and parenting. When you have experienced adverse events in your childhood or recent trauma you may have difficulties regulating your mood, feeling joy, advocating for yourself, and may often feel unworthy or undeserving of positive things. Life events can leave us worried about being both physically and socially safe, as well as lacking a sense of belonging. Anxiety is a common feeling, leading to low mood, anger, intrusive thoughts, failed or chaotic relationships. Living this way can lead to burnout.

If the effects of depression, anxiety, trauma, stress or relationship difficulties have become overwhelming, therapy can help. I am a seasoned therapist with over 14 years experience working with individuals, families and couples. My primary focus is providing you with a safe, confidential and validating space to explore and make sense of what is getting in the way of your wellness, as well as providing concrete tools and strategies that will help you to increase your resilience and move forward in the direction you choose. We will work together to determine which therapeutic interventions are the best fit for you.

Not accepting new clients - Clients often come to therapy to create positive change and find some solace in their life. They often feel they have exhausted their options, feel alone, stuck and overwhelmed. Through goal-setting, I work with clients to create a treatment plan to meet their needs. I offer a safe, therapeutic space where individuals of all ages can process the struggles they may be facing and undo unhelpful thought patterns and create more balance in their lives. I can assist you in learning more about your mental health and develop skills and strategies that allow you to thrive long after our therapeutic work ends.

Sometimes there are no words that can accurately express to another what we feel. Other times, we may not even know ourselves what it is we're feeling or experiencing. In moments of this kind of suffering I offer space and time to explore what it is like for you and to just be. You are the expert of your life; curiosity and interest of your processes and experiences guide my support for you in the present. Working together does not mean one leads and the other follows but rather to be aware of how we impact one another and to notice what is happening for ourselves in the moment.
