Codependency Therapists in Etobicoke, ON

Maybe you have tried therapy in the past or explored different venues to overcome difficult situations, but you feel stuck! I have experience working with adults, children/adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief/loss, codependency tendencies, emotional/physical abuse, sexual abuse as well as life transition stressors. I also work with couples providing an active participation to identify their issue, focusing on change-oriented interventions guiding both to understand their individual roles and learn new harmonious strategies.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming. We feel alone as we mask our imperfections to morph into a world we believe rewards otherwise. Yet, in our loneliness lives an unspoken unity because we each carry the weight of our mask. I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

Are you curious about where you get stuck in unhelpful patterns? Would you like to explore how you can access your own gifts and strengths to feel more connected? If your goal is to gain more ease, flow and comfort in relating to yourself and others, I can help.

“Is this forever?” You might be asking yourself this question when you’re struggling and feeling overwhelmed, especially if you’re recovering from abuse, trauma, or illness. Sometimes we lose track of what we want and need moment-to-moment, believing we need permission to want and need anything at all. It is this sense of being “stuck” that often brings clients to therapy. Having a witness—and a safe place to be witnessed—can support us in moving through and beyond life’s most challenging moments. With awareness of our patterns, automatic responses, and bodily sensations, we can start to feel our way out of that “forever” feeling.

Do you find yourself overreacting to things that don’t seem to phase the people around you? Maybe you can’t keep it together at work, your kids set you off, or waiting in traffic makes you sweat. Over time, struggling to cope effectively with your life’s stressors can leave you feeling like something is wrong with you, that you’re all alone, and worse still, like there’s nothing you can do to help yourself.

Let’s work through the “grey” stuff going on in your life right now. I’m Julianna, an experienced psychotherapist based in Ontario. I’m a warm, compassionate, BIPOC-inclusive therapist who can help you improve your mental health one step at a time. I specialize in helping women navigate challenges related to body image & eating disorders, relationships & boundaries, caregiving & parenthood, career stress, and finances. I offer a safe, comfortable space for you to explore your feelings without judgement.

Regardless of the path that we decide to embark on, there are moments when we may feel as though we don't have the resources to cope. Having someone to bear witness to our suffering and support us as we explore our internal resiliency can be life-changing. Working in the mental health field for over 9 years has shown me that stress, depression, trauma, etc. does not discriminate, nor should it be a defining part of who we are.

I counsel children (16 years and older), youth, and adults through individual and or group sessions. I am in good standing and have been awarded Full membership with the designation of Registered Counsellor (RCC) with CPCA as well as a member in good standing of the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrics and Psychotherapists (OACCPP), and Bereavement Ontario Network (BON).

I provide a unique non-judgmental safe space to discuss any aspect in your life, concern or struggle you may be having. I provide an eclectic combination of personal, life and professional experience, with a high level of diplomacy, sense of humor and a remarkable ability to establish a rapport and trusting relationships.

Are you feeling low, anxious, burnt out, stressed, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling in your relationships? I first want to commend you for taking this initial step at seeking support. Your vulnerability, resilience, and strength are honorable. I want to work alongside you at finding empowerment, compassion, and desired change in your life.

I hope to provide you with the tools to challenge your thinking and behaviours, regulate your emotions, practice positive coping skills, learn mindfulness, and overall enhance your self-awareness.

Starting therapy can feel foreign. Providing a space to explore, challenge and sometimes sit with different emotions, memories, and feelings can help understand our connectivity to our internal and external world, and process difficult and challenging obstacles. I create a compassionate, open, and empowering space while you explore past, present and/or future obstacles and issues. I can help with: anxiety, depression, trauma/complex PTSD/PTSD, bereavement, self-esteem, depersonalization, communication, family conflict, and general life stressors. Ultimately, one of the key goals is to feel a stronger connection to yourself.

You look around the crowded room full of friends, family, colleagues or strangers and think to yourself… How do they make it look so easy? Why can't I find that happiness within myself and surrounded by others? I know I have; it is part of the human experience to feel uncertain or lost at some point in our lives. Whether that be trauma from childhood or the present day, anxiety, depression, a breakup, marital stress or grief - I commend you for making it here onto my profile and courageously taking that first step.

With over 20 years of counselling and social work experience, I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges, cultivate self awareness and achieve meaningful change. I’m a regular guy, a father, a partner and an active member of my community, who brings that same candor and authenticity to my work with people.

Hi my name is Tracey and I am passionate about helping children and teens learn the skills to be resilient and foster a sense of hope. I utilize a solution-focused approach which builds on the child's strengths and positive outcomes. I use a non-judgmental approach and I present in a kind, supportive and fun atmosphere. The areas that I focus most on are: peer issues, anxiety, family difficulties, school pressures, divorce and relationship issues. I also offer Parenting Support. This focuses on supporting parents by teaching positive discipline choices and other tools for a harmonious home. I work with children aged 3-19.

Viktor Frankl said: "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Therapy isn't about getting the right answer, it's about making choices that move you forward. Many aspects of life are out of our control. If we focus on our decisions, we'll find greater contentment. Little shifts make a big difference. In my office, laughter, cursing, crying or yelling are welcome. I have curious questions, off-the-wall metaphors, and shift gears as required.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

Are you feeling a general dissatisfaction with your life and/or relationships? Are you finding yourself stuck in habitual patterns that no longer serve you? Do you struggle to connect with your children, partner or other relationships in your life? You may feel like your actions don’t align with your emotions, and prioritizing the wants and needs of others leaves you feeling untethered from your own sense of direction and purpose. Navigating the changing waters of life can be challenging. With support, you can learn to ride out the waves of emotions that come from stressful events, past and present.
