Addiction Therapists in Guelph, ON

Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "something isn't right" or "I can't go on like this"? If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change. Maybe you are tired of hiding your drinking as a way to cope with your mood. Maybe you have noticed that while getting high works in the moment to help manage your nerves, you are actually more anxious now than you have ever been. Change is scary, but may be necessary for you to reach your full potential.

Evening and weekend availability. I am a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I have a master’s degree in social work from Wilfrid Laurier University. I specialize in addiction and concurrent disorders with addiction . I also have experience working with adults that live with anxiety and depression as well as healthcare professionals and first responders.

Life isn't always easy. It is full of stressors big and small. Some are predictable. Others are totally unexpected. And some are cumulative in that we don't even know that we are being impacted until that day that we hit the wall and find that we just aren't functioning the way we want. We try everything we know to get through tough times, to change how we are feeling, acting, and thinking, but sometimes we need a little extra help.

Your sense of safety and well-being is my priority. You might be reaching out for support because of current life stressors, a significant loss, or change. Or you may need support to heal from childhood (or adult) emotional injuries that have impacted who you are and how you feel about the world. As your counsellor, I will offer a compassionate and respectful approach to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, enhance your coping skills, and make positive changes in your life. I am experienced in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Gestalt, Motivational Interviewing.

Is there something in your life you are struggling with? Something you feel is in your way and you are not sure where to start? Choosing to come to therapy can be the first step in a profound journey of discovery and transition. That first step is one of courage, and a willingness to be vulnerable. Every person brings a different story to therapy, and my goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for you to explore your full self and concerns. You can expect that I will respect your own personal journey and that your personal goals will be heard and worked toward.

We know that life can be very challenging at times and that the obstacles can seem overwhelming when facing them on your own. The therapists at Spacious Mind Counselling have been through their own trials and tribulations and have benefited from their own personal therapy during difficult times. We know that you are the expert in your life and that with the right conditions you can overcome the obstacles and challenges. We aim to provide a safe, non judgemental space where you can begin to understand the challenges for what they are and get back to living a rich and meaning full life. We do this by listening, asking questions and then creating goals with you that are in line with your values. Sometimes skills and tools are needed and other times processing traumas and unresolved emotions are needed. We will always follow your lead and provide insight and knowledge when you need it during sessions.

I am comfortable with people of all cultures, orientations and spiritual and/or religious backgrounds. Certified by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I provide counselling and therapy using an integrative approach, weaving together various methods to suit your unique needs. I enjoy working collaboratively with you in a non-judgmental way, embracing your strengths, unique characteristics, values, and insights as we strive together to determine direction and pace. In addition to my clinical training I bring several years experience as a public educator and volunteer youth leader to the table. I believe this experience helps me build rapport with clients aged 12 - adult.
