Therapists in Grand Valley, ON

Currently taking female/female-identifying clients only. Often, what gets in the way of having a meaningful, fulfilling life can be unresolved internal barriers that we might not even be aware of. Relational psychotherapy provides a place where we can explore these patterns, beliefs, and narratives, begin to author a new story, foster new awareness, and equip ourselves with a new set of tools. Ultimately, psychotherapy creates a space for the transformation we are yearning for. Using a number of integrative approaches, I help clients move closer to their potential - freeing them from unhelpful narratives and behaviours.

No Waitlist! Accepting New Clients: Are you feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Maybe you feel like your confidence is down, your self-esteem is low, and you are having a hard time finding motivation to do anything at all - everything feels like a chore. Your family never talked about emotions, and now you're either overwhelmed by yours, or feeling numb to it all. You know there must be more to life than this, but you don't know what you're doing wrong. You know you need better communication skills and boundaries. You know you need to learn to "love yourself", but you don't know how to actually DO that.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) member under supervision by Denise Mariani and currently practicing at The Story Isn't Over in Bolton, ON. I work collaboratively with teenagers and adults to process emotional experiences and cope with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, self-esteem, trauma and relational stressors. Unprocessed experiences can lead to a greater manifestation of abandonment, self-destructive behaviours and impact our well-being.

I offer individual, couples and family counselling for a wide range of issues. We can work collaboratively to ensure that all your individual needs and goals are being addressed, while also developing a strengths-based treatment plan that fits with your lifestyle and readiness. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to work through problems and discover new ways to grow and adapt to life's everyday challenges. I'm here to accompany you on your path of self-discovery, growth, and change.

Here at Bloom I believe in modern day counselling. I value and feel honored being a part of your journey during your most vulnerable time. My goal is to build an incredible therapeutic relationship to support you in peeling back the layers and helping you to self-discovery and healing. Counselling is a chance to openly express yourself and your feelings in a safe, non-judgmental and unbiased environment. This will allow you to achieve peace and contentment, clarity and direction in your life. There are little bits of sunshine all around us if we look in the right places.

Feeling like something isn't right in your life? Are you, or is someone you love in crisis? Are you consumed by worry, overwhelmed, unable to cope, exhausted, struggling at school, work or a relationship? Depression, anxiety anger or addictions rob you of joy, make you feel numb, isolated and that life is darker and far more challenging than it should be? We help people and families just like you to find hope. Internal Family Systems, EMDR and cognitive behavioural therapy are some of our approaches. Carley was my young, talented, vibrant, beautiful cousin, and it is in her memory that this centre was founded; that's her picture.

We understand that everyone's life is very different from one another. Clients have different needs as they all have different experiences and situations. Each client gets a customized approach that will help them heal and grow from their trauma and problems in life. We specialize in individual counselling (depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD), Child and youth counselling, couple and family counselling, indigenous counselling for youth and adults, counselling for refugees and veterans, career counselling, anger management co-parenting, and online counselling and etc.

Confused, drained or ALONE in your relationship? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and ignore your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependents are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic, grandiose personalities. The ensuing relationship can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally it falls apart. When it does, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I work with individuals, couples, parents, and youth. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Relational, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, and Polyvagal Theory.

With a background in addiction treatment and a diverse upbringing, I integrate Eastern philosophy and spirituality into my practice.
