Female Therapists in Hamilton, ON

I believe it takes courage to take this first step in reaching out for help. Life is full of challenges and roadblocks that can often be difficult to move past or face alone. In therapy we will work on things that are of concern to you and at a pace that feels right for you. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, or relationship issues. My niche is in working with women struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss or postpartum challenges.

I specialize in maternal mental health and perinatal mood issues, such as perinatal anxiety, postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma and PTSD. I support women with intrusive thoughts and those more extreme worries. I also support women through miscarriage and loss. I am taking on new clients.

I offer therapy to those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I have been working in this field since 2005 and have extensive experience supporting clients through difficult times in their lives. I mainly work from a cognitive stance to help you recognize and change negative thoughts and behaviours, which can lead to healing. Most importantly, I offer a safe and comfortable space for you to tell your story.

Hi! I'm Sylvia. I specialize in working with BIPOC, first generation Canadians reconciling immigrant parental values versus Canadian ones, women undergoing a period of peri and post partum concerns, and, anyone undergoing anxiety and depression. I also have an interest working with teachers who are constantly burnt out or dealing with compassion fatigue.

I am a Registered Social Worker working with youth (12+) and adults, particularly people who identify as women . I love helping people understand their emotions and deepen their connection to themselves. Whether it's working through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or self esteem issues, I support each client with their individual needs in mind.

In therapy I aim to walk alongside you –meeting you with authenticity, openness, and trust. At our core we as humans have an innate desire to form meaningful connections. I'm passionate about supporting clients in exploring the nuances and complexities of relationships. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with family conflict, communicating needs & boundaries, generational trauma, co-dependency, inner-child work, and in navigating parent-child relationships in adulthood. I'm also passionate about supporting women in perinatal & postnatal mental health, encouraging them to take up space in tending to themselves.

Are you a woman who finds herself feeling constantly overwhelmed? Are you plagued by thoughts that no matter how hard you try you feel like you are disappointing those closest to you? If so, you are not alone. There are so many messages about what women should be doing, feeling and looking like that it's easy to forget what matters to us as individuals. From the start, we need to empower our girls to celebrate what makes them unique so that they are able to flourish through the teenage years. Most importantly, women need to be grounded in who they are to navigate the conflicting roles of professional, partner, mother and lover.

I am a 4th year PhD candidate in the School of Social Work at McMaster University and balance my time between my practice, academic research and my zoo (cats and dogs!) My commitment is to walk alongside you as you navigate your path through life. My work experience in the non-profit sector has found me working with those struggling with mental health challenges (general anxiety/panic, depression, OCD, agoraphobia, trauma), addiction, chronic illness/pain, relationship issues and domestic abuse. I also identify as a consumer of care as a woman with an invisible disability and am passionate about advocacy work for migraine patients.

We all have a unique journey that adds value to who we are and how we can contribute every day. My personal journey took me down some challenging paths that required me to find new hope and build from the ground up. I feel that the hardships, challenges and triumphs I have endured can inspire and bring hope to others. I believe that through the toughest times of our lives, there is always a silver lining.

Welcome to Pieces to Peace, a therapy practice that aims to transform the mental health and well-being of Black women and girls. As the primary practitioner, I help high achieving Black women and femmes dissatisfied with their lives, move past self-sacrificing, generational survival habits to discover what a life of peace means for them. Through this therapeutic relationship, we focus primarily on self-discovery, life transitions and building healthier relationships.

Registered as a psychologist in the areas of clinical, counseling and school psychology, I perform assessments and therapy to children, youth and adults. I am trained and experienced to provide treatment using skills from a variety of different perspectives, such as, ACT, CBT and insight therapies. I particularly favor making explicit what matters to a client in their life, and then facilitating change in that direction, using awareness and mindfulness skills. Empowering and respecting a client's capacity to chose what's best for them within the context of a valued life, is invaluable in my experience.

Are you seeking an alternative way of healing and ready to explore? Open to letting go of old hurts in order to experience a breakthrough? You desire to release your old patterns of behaviour and are seeking a therapist that will partner with you by listening deeply, challenging you, and celebrating with you. You are motivated to do the work to get the results you’ve always wanted (in individual or group sessions). I work with women who serve others in healing arts and business. These women are family-oriented and many don’t want to parent like your parents did.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman , I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.

Accepting New Clients! Pieces to Peace is a holistic wellness and therapy practice with Black therapists and wellness practitioners aiming to transform the mental health and general wellness of Black and racialized women , girls, femmes and non-binary people. We shift the narrative from a need for resilience and strength that is always forcibly labeled on us, to a space of open vulnerability, sensibility, authenticity and genuinity. We are committed to anti-oppressive, trans-feminist practices that resist anti-Black racism to redefine and reclaim what wellness is for Black women and girls.

Accepting New Clients -start your healing journey today! Congratulations on finding your way to caring for yourself. As a Black therapist, my passion is to accompany women on their journey towards healing. I work with clients ready to do the work to understand more about themselves to better their relationships, manage their anxiety, and minimize stress. You may be dreaming of a more peaceful and fulfilling life, but aren't sure how to get there. I aim to help you discover the life you desire, through a comforting, authentic and safe environment. It's time you live the life you want, and I hope to help you get there.

I work with clients who struggle with "regulation difficulties". When your "motor" is running automatically, too fast or too slow, it is very difficult to respond efficiently and thoughtfully. My clients struggle to be present, are unable to respond appropriately in times of stress, and cannot maintain a direction in life. Some of my clients have difficulties such as Complex Trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety and ADHD. This can happen to men, women , children and teens. Learning to be regulated can improve one's ability to focus and to learn, to be able to manage one's life and have deep meaningful relationships.
