Therapists in Collingwood, ON

People come to counselling for a variety of reasons. I strive to meet people wherever they are on their journey, and help to ignite in them a renewed sense of hope. My goal is to help clients experience a greater sense of connection to both themselves and others. I walk clients through the emotional moments that define their sense of self, and help them reclaim a life of balance and calm. I work with clients at every stage of life, and I counsel those who are working through challenging experiences such as trauma, betrayal, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

I love working with kids, adolescents, parents, families as well as adults with: symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, self harm, suicidal ideation, parent coaching, and children’s stress behaviours (e.g. anger, melt downs/explosive behaviours, fears, shame, guilt, separation anxiety, worries, isolation). I offer a supportive, non-judgemental, non-pathological, and mindful environment. My hope is that you may come to experience internal alignment, equilibrium, connection to emotional wisdom, trust within, presence, and freedom from old patterns.

My professional focus includes direct intervention treating adults, families and couples experiencing anxiety, depression and discord as a result of the challenges of life transitions and stressors.

Mental health is nested within a network of relationships and our past experience. In therapy, we work together to untangle these networks to build awareness and form new and useful strategies that serve you and your loved ones. I work with youth and adults managing low mood/self-esteem, depression/suicide, anxiety, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, relationship difficulties (family, romantic etc.), grief, and day to day stressors. I work under consultation of a clinical psychologist which provides easy access to clinical assessments and diagnoses (e.g., OCD, ADHD).

I work primarily with empaths, highly sensitive souls and people who tend to take on the 'caretaker role'. I support people through anxiety, self-criticism, people pleasing, and difficulty putting themselves first. I help people understand and communicate their needs, boundaries and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.

There are times in life when it all just feels like too much. Perhaps we’ve been aware for a while that things aren’t quite right. Or, maybe it comes out of the blue. Emotional upsets affect everyone. We may be faced with uncertainty and the unknown. Other times, we are curious about and want to deepen our understanding of our inner world, find, grow and strengthen the connection to our Self within. It's possible to move into a state of more peace. Into the life you want. Grow more awareness, self-esteem, and confidence. And, with a therapist alongside for part of your journey, you don't have to do it alone.

Hi! My name is Caroline Chassé, I am a registered clinical social worker and an equine assisted psychotherapist/equine professional. As a therapist, I believe in interconnectedness of all life forms. I combine systems theory, neuroscience, nature, art, science of relationships, and horses. One of my great passions is to bring healing to those who have experienced trauma through their lifespan. And a pure delight is to see my clients self-actualizing through embodied change in the process of psychotherapy.

I am a registered Marital and Family Therapist with CAMFT and am a certified sex therapist (www.bestco.info). I work with individuals couples and families. My specialties are also in separation and divorce, grief, life transitions as well as couple and sexual issues.

I believe that compassion, empathy, and understanding are the most essential components of a therapeutic relationship. I have experience with adults living with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and mood disorders. In addition, I provide psychotherapy for perinatal mental health and that includes the prenatal period and up to two years postpartum.

My clients are just like you - to the outsider they appear like they have it all together. But on the inside something feels stuck, or at least worth exploring. I believe we are all trying our best to navigate the journey of life with the only strategies we know. Sometimes those ways work well for us, and other times they don’t. I am passionate about issues surrounding parenting, life transitions, emotional intelligence, vocation and purpose, and coping mechanisms. I particularly enjoy being a listening ear for fellow dads who try everyday to be the best dad they can be.

At times life can be overwhelming with stressors from family, work, relationships and personal issues coming up to interfere with our present contentment and peace. Seeking out a therapist to talk with about it can be scary and add to the stress however, it can also help to provide insight and support along with learning healthy coping strategies in order for life to feel more manageable. Sometimes, the goal is not to fix it or change it but to not feel as alone and have an outside neutral person to help offer a space to start to work through things and heal and grow.

At CPYC, we offer individual, couple, parent, family, and group therapy grounded in trauma and neurobiologically informed relational psychotherapeutic theories. We also offer yoga classes for mental health, clinical supervision for therapists, seminars for professionals and organizations, as well as workshops for clients. Four skilled, experienced, and compassionate psychotherapists work at our practice, providing therapy in English, Portuguese and French. We aim to provide a warm, accepting space where clients can discover their healing path, achieve their goals and develop a productive relationship with their therapist.

I offer supportive counseling therapy to children, youths, adults, couples, and families using a strengths-based, solution-focused approach. I am glad you are thinking of yourself and ways to improve your life. I look forward to hearing about things that are going well in your life and areas you want to improve.

I am aware of how social and structural systems affect our mood, capacity and self-esteem, in addition to our emotional and physical well-being. My approach is one of deep engagement and inclusion; I acknowledge difference in order to understand the complex challenges of navigating a world that can often be dehumanizing. I work with Individuals who are struggling with anxiety, workplace stress, intrusive thoughts, and grief. If you are a couple challenged with poor communication, lack of trust and co-dependency, I provide strategies to improve relational breakdown and increase relationship satisfaction.

We all need support at different times in our lives and I understand that reaching out for this help can be difficult. My therapeutic approach is to connect with you, where you are at, as the first step in our work. From there, we will strive to recognize where change is needed and how to create this change for a more manageable place in life. Understanding your story, respectfully and safely, then creating goals for success and how to get there, will be the direction of our work together. With my primary focus on anxiety, depression, family issues and grief, the ultimate outcome of our work should feel progressive and empowering.

I work with clients who are finding their true identity and ready to release any aspect of themselves and their story that no longer serve them. This includes clients that have unresolved experiences from their recent or distant past that would like professional guidance in processing such from a trauma-informed and empathic lens. Clients that are ready for change and able to dedicate their energy to their own healing, in and out of session, with my support. Clients that may feel stuck, low-mood, unmotivated or confused in how to progress in life but are feeling called to evolve into a fulfilled & grateful version of themselves.
