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.

My name is Kaylen Leonienco and I am a Registered Social Worker. My main goal is to help individuals, both adults and children navigate life's most challenging moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing grief/loss, living with a chronic/life limiting illness, anxiety and depression.

Are you experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, or feelings of low self-esteem? Are you having trouble navigating your way through the loss of a loved one, a challenging relationship, or simply struggling to find meaning in your life? Many of us are knocked backwards by negative events that seem to unearth past hurts and make navigating our present and future more difficult. There are times when we need support and encouragement from outside of ourselves to help us navigate this inner world and push ourselves forward in our lives.

I use an integrative, and individualized approach in the treatment of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, fainting, suicidal ideation, self-harming etc., in relation to chronic pain, phobias, OCD, social isolation, ADHD, life transitions, grief, body dysmorphia (body image), sexuality, relationships, infidelity, burn-out, break-ups and blended families. We can decide which modalities together, since each one has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the presenting issues: ACT, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic, Solution-Focused (SFT), Strength-based, and Cognitive Processing (CPT).

“I can’t keep living this way, but I don’t know how to change.” Does this statement sound familiar to you? Once upon a time, I felt this way too. Therapy was my safe space to land, and now I hope to offer a safe space in return for the pre-teens, teens and adults I work with. My own personal experience with navigating mental health concerns gives me a unique ability to understand my client’s journey, and with this insight and perspective I can promise you that you will never feel judged in my room. Together, we will work to unpack your past experiences, explore your strengths, and make a plan for the life you hope to build.

Have you found yourself wanting help and support, yet others in your life think of you as the “strong” one and don't see your pain? Perhaps you work in a helping profession and don’t know where to turn for your own therapy. Anxiety, depression, or even burn out can lead to feeling lost and lonely. Maybe you have people with personality disorders in your life that make you doubt yourself or make the “easy” things very difficult. Many people are feeling disconnected from their community, themselves and the larger "something more". Creating a safe space where you can be heard and understood is the foundation of my work.

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.

Taking the first step towards self-awareness and healing can feel challenging. I am here to offer a safe, unbiased space to unpack emotions, experiences, and thoughts. Recognizing our internal dualities and reconnecting with our inner child, a wounded part of ourselves, can be transformative and healing. As your therapist, I am committed to supporting you by fostering self-awareness and challenging harmful patterns. To book an appointment, please visit our website (chettiarcounselling.ca).

I have spent over 10 years supporting children, adolescents, emerging adults, and parents in the area of mental health and well-being. As a registered clinical social worker, I adopt a client-centred approach utilizing various treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT skills, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and social behavioural challenges (emotional regulation, and ADHD symptoms).

**Accepting new clients** Most couples expect to agree with their spouse far more than they actually do. The main complaints that bring couples to therapy are losing connection, high levels of conflict, major life changes and high levels of stress. Effective couples counseling and individual counselling will give you the tools you need to solve problems.

I want to meet you where you are and work with you to help you find who you want to be. I like to be lighthearted and use humor in my practice. I also call myself a Gen Z therapist. My educational background of an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies has profoundly shaped my perspective and provided me with an intersectional feminist lens to work with a diverse group of people.

I work with youth and adults who are struggling with cumulative stress, anxiety, or trauma and want to develop a sense of emotional stability and well-being; they're looking for a therapist who can be authentic. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations to allow the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

Thanks for stopping by, taking the first step isn't easy. I am a social worker who has been practicing as a therapist for over ten years. Over the past few years, I have developed a special interest in working with women around their mental health and well-being. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with women to build on their internal strengths and skills while also developing new skills and perspectives to live a more balanced & fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed or stuck, I am here to work with you. It would be a privilege to get to know you and collaborate on how you can move toward living your best life.
