I am an experienced Master's level Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Addiction Counsellor offering online video counselling in Ontario. I have worked extensively in the Social Services field since 1999 & as a Registered Social Worker since 2003. For several years, I have assisted adults & youth experiencing a wide range of issues such as; addiction, anger/emotional problems, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma & critical incident stress. I am committed to ongoing professional development & training & to providing an emotionally safe, supportive & honest environment for all of my clients.

You've only got this life. If you are struggling, reach out. We are social beings and when we connect with each other life is a little better. Growth and change is an inside job. I believe there is a wisdom within you. I strive to turn you toward your inner strength and build a connection with yourself. When we feel a strong connection, we stop allowing the external world to impact how we feel and navigate. Our internal connection deepens all of your relationships and you begin to experience the intimacy you are seeking.

Welcome, you have taken the first step in putting YOU first. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I offer support and tools to help you find your way back to being the healthiest version of you. I have experience working with individuals experiencing complex mental health concerns, with a focus on anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger, mood disorders, and suicidality. We all deserve and are capable of having fulfilling relationships, and I believe that gaining an understanding to how relationships impact us, allow us to achieve a better sense of self.

Overwhelmed? Alone? Stuck ? Are you experiencing a transition in your life that seems unbearable? Are you feeling angst and anxiety that has overtaken your daily schedule? My approach is client centered, warm and non judgmental. I feel it is important to create a safe space for all individuals. I think addressing the whole individual (mind, body, and soul) is imperative to healing. For those who prefer, I am willing to discuss existential questions like “Who am I?, What is my life’s purpose?, What is my mission in life?” While sitting with me we can explore your connection with a Higher Power(God, Mother Earth, The Universe etc.)

Therapy is often about exploring outdated core beliefs to see if they are useful and, if not, create new neuropathways that lead to new, more healthy behavior and responses. I meet each client where they are in their life and/or situation and explore what works for them to meet their therapeutic needs. I"m trained with Dr Stan Tatkin, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy for over 5 years. I am certified in EMDR. I am a trained Mindful Self Compassion Teacher and teach through McMaster University Faculty Development Mindfulness programs. I am on the executive for Mindfulness Hamilton.

We are all evolving! People usually come to see me because a crisis has happened. The origin of the word crisis means turning point. If you are experiencing a turning point in your life I can help you navigate. Sometimes when a crisis hits we find it hard to process what is happening because we are full of the emotional and mental confusion. Therapy helps to unravel the confusion so you can awaken to the awareness that comes with the turning point. Growing in awareness can create a whole new perspective.

There was a time I needed to get "unstuck" I needed "hope and healing" I needed "empathy and validation". I needed someone to help me, understand me and meet me where I was without judgement so I could release some heavy burdens in a safe space and start my healing journey. I wanted to be happy, experience peace, heal my heart and not let my past experiences define me anymore. I wanted to get "unstuck" and luckily I didnt have to do it alone.

As a psychotherapist, I seek to provide you with a life transforming experience to help you deal with the difficult issues in your life, such as relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, or grief. I offer you an authentic human relational encounter that fosters growth, support and change. Life growth and transformation can be a beautiful experience, and it is my goal to help you experience what others have previously experienced with me. Finding happiness in life does not need to be out of reach, or seem impossible for you.

My practice is welcoming new clients (in person, virtual, & pay what you can intern-led therapy). Providing therapy in a compassionate & judgment free space is very important to me. I prioritize client-centered, compassion focused and strength-based practice in my role as a social worker. To me, this means that I operate under the belief and understanding that all of my clients intrinsically possess the strength to cope with whatever barriers they are facing and I am simply a guide along the way. I am trained in EMDR, narrative, compassion focused therapy and other modalities, please check my website for more info.

Come! Let´s have a chat! Have you ever thought that there is no longer an emotional bond with your partner . No exchange of comfort, care and no more satisfaction? Feelings about our own well being striving to solve the situation with the thought that my partner needs to change. Let me tell you there is always hope. You have an internal urge to continue, but on the other hand you are so deep into the problems that possible solutions are not in reach. You can overcome the challenge of communication and teamwork.

Hello, my name is Leigh Drong. I am a Registered Social Worker with 18 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families experiencing a variety of medical and mental health conditions. I have a passion for helping others to overcome adversity, achieve their goals and realize their potential. My approach is client centred and strength based. I bring empathy and compassion to my professional practice.

We all have our own stories and experiences that contribute to who we are and how we face challenges. Sometimes, we get so lost in the difficulties of the outside world that we forget to take care of our inner self. This can lead to us struggling with things such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-based oppression, stress management, relationship concerns, immigrant struggles, and life changes. I understand how challenging these difficulties can be, and I am passionate about helping others move from fighting with their feelings to reaching their own inner peace.

Welcome to my page! My experience is working with adolescents, adults, couples , and families facing complex mental health and addictions challenges. I specialize in Behavioural Addictions which includes, Problem Gambling, Technology Overuse (gaming/social media), Overspending, and Hypersexuality issues. I am proud to support individuals within the LGTBQIA, Military Services, and Emergency Service Workers communities, and those managing life pre-or-post incarceration. I also facilitate a weekly Mens psychotherapy group, please reach out if you are interested!

My approach to counselling is strengths based, person centred and collaborative. I help clients to optimize strengths, build resilience and cultivate growth.

I consider it a privilege every single time someone welcomes me to share in their therapeutic process. My intention is to bring authenticity, empathy and non-judgemental guidance to the room. I believe that therapy is a very personal experience for each of my clients, so I try to enter the therapeutic relationship as a 'clean slate', free of judgement or any agenda other than what they want or need in their healing. In my practice, I work from an anti-oppressive, client-focused, strength-based framework and believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that you are the expert of your experience.

Chad is an award winning therapist who doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. My main goal is to help people know how to be emotionally healthy using a combination of tools I've created through life experience and modalities like solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT. I tend to be a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more laughs than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help people feel cared about and safe enough to share their lives. Men (or anyone) who are nervous about therapy or people who have had a bad experience with it tend to really like my down to earth style.

Reaching out for support in navigating your deepest concerns takes courage. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm from the heaviness of life’s challenges, searching for reconnection, or hoping to gain personal insight, I recognize how important it is to feel heard and understood. My style is warm, welcoming, and relaxed, and I will work alongside you with compassion and nonjudgment as we move through your healing journey. I implement a trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspective, and incorporate mindfulness and relaxation practices into the therapeutic space as well.
