Family Therapy in Hamilton, ON

Do you feel stuck and unsure about how to move forward? Do you want more fulfilling relationships? Do you experience conflict? Sometimes people find it hard to pinpoint what their struggles are, but they feel a deep desire for change. Couples may find it hard to feel connected. They may feel anger, resentment, and frustration, and wonder how to overcome these feelings, to feel closer and deeply understood by each other. Parents may find it hard to stay connected to their children or want support around how to overcome challenging interactions.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress, life and career transitions, grief, marriage and relationship conflicts, dating, and parenting. I realize there is rarely one issue and it takes courage to ask for help. I offer a safe, sincere and supportive environment to share, reflect upon, and experience positive growth from the issues you bring to counselling. I work with individuals, couples and families and have over 20 years of experience helping people share their stories and struggles -- to feel heard and understood.

At HRC counselling, we offer a variety of different approaches and services for those who are ready to make a change in their life, or are seeking support through a difficult time. We are a collection of three social workers: Holly Raymond, Jeffrey Corrin, and Megan Hemlow. We have different experience and specialities, and similar philosophies. We are dedicated to helping you work through issues that are holding you back from feeling healthy, safe, productive or in control.

Perhaps you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, conflicted inside, easily triggered, or beat up by an inner critic. Perhaps you are dealing with infidelity, gaslighting or struggling in your relationships. Maybe you are ready to deal with a difficult childhood. Or maybe there are two (or more) of you ready to work on your relationship. Whatever your reason is for coming, I'm glad you are here. I can offer a down-to-earth, caring and validating space where together we can begin to address the things that are hurting you.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in private practice since 1983. Couples and families are a primary focus of mine including those struggling with issues of life transitions, mental health, sexuality, sexual compulsive disorders, substance and process addictions, as well as emotional and physical affairs. I am trained in systemic models of interventions that allow for a dual focus on the needs of the individual as well as those of the relationship. I am an Approved Supervisor with AAMFT which affords me the privilege of supervising psychotherapists and clinicians in the community interested in systemic models.

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.

It can be incredibly difficult to navigate relationships - between each individual, plus the partnership(s), there are a lot of complex thoughts, feelings and emotions.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you and your partner(s) to discuss areas of concern, regardless of how your relationship is structured.
