Accepting New Clients - As Available: I am a caring and empathic psychotherapist who works from a strengths-based approach and help people to resolve troubling issues in their lives. My services are tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to live a more peaceful and balanced life and to learn coping strategies to carry with you after counselling is completed. As in all counselling, we will work together to find solutions to the issues you bring to the counselling session. Visit my website at nearycounsellingkingston.ca

Accepting new clients! We have extensive experience supporting individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, distress intolerance, relationship difficulties, emotional instability, self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, grief, or living with major mental illness. Clinicians work collaboratively with clients to develop a deeper and more insightful understanding of thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how to manage these to ensure individuals live rich meaningful lives. We work to connect how past experiences shape present struggles while assisting in the development of new practical skills.

I assist men who are seeking emotional balance, harmonious relationships, freedom from negative thinking, higher levels of self-confidence and an overall sense of well-being. While I specialize in short-term counselling, typically three to six sessions, options for longer-term support are also available. The counselling process begins with an informal in-person introductory session. The purpose of this session is to establish therapeutic 'fit' and to identify an approach that will provide clients with the greatest possible benefit in the shortest period of time. The fee for this session and for any followup sessions is $130.

Appointments now available. With a healing focused orientation, our work together aims to support your return to wholeness. The emotion focused model that informs my approach can help you: process and heal from trauma, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, establish greater authenticity and closeness in your relationships, and overcome current life stressors. Learning to lean into your emotions, both pleasurable and challenging, will strengthen your ability to tolerate and move through life's inevitable difficulties. Your return to wholeness can allow you to live a life with greater vitality, joy, compassion and gratitude.

Life is hard! I specialize in helping others deal with anxiety, stress, and depression. These emotions, if not dealt with, lead to arguments, denial or using substances to cope. I understand the daily challenges of working, adulting, parenting and trying to maintain your health. I have 25 years experience with first responders and veterans and am a trained Wounded Warriors of Canada Service Provider. I know how these jobs can sometimes hijack your life and your family. I also work with teenagers and youth at l'équipe psycho-sociale SD&G. I feel strongly that therapy can be a proactive way to minimize problems and build resiliency.

Many of my clients come to me seeking help to feel more confident, less anxious, and more assured about what they deserve from life and their relationships. I help people kick perfectionism, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and depression to the curb in order to build a life that offers happiness and authenticity. I am also passionate about working with people through their grief and bereavement journeys. I feel strongly that connection and support is the best antidote to pain and loneliness that grief can bring, and I aim to be this support for my clients.

Life can get sticky, and sometimes you just want to talk to someone. We get it! We specialize in treating anxiety, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), boundary issues, depression, and other mental health issues with psychotherapy. Our goal is to create an authentic, relaxed, and supportive space. If you have someone who can see you and listen to you professionally and sympathetically, you can go from stuck to unstuck! If you are curious about getting to know yourself better, book an appointment today!

Sometimes people get stuck. Individuals and couples come to me for counselling to talk about a variety of problems - things like conflict in relationships, anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, abuse, grief, vocational crisis, or anger. A counselling relationship helps people to move from understanding issues to co-creating solutions - solutions that shrink and manage problems. I use an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods depending on what works best for the client, including practices from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and solution-based therapy. I can help you to move through difficult times with courage, accountability, and positive resolve.

I believe that the road to finding happiness and freedom begins with a simple principle, understanding that some things are within our control and some things are not. Whether you are controlled by anxiety, dreading the “what ifs” of the future. Or you are stuck in the past and find it difficult to move on, I believe I can help. I am dedicated to building a therapeutic alliance with my clients and working on an individual basis to help each, and every person realize their strengths to find their own solutions. I work with clients 18 and over to support them in recovering from anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship issues.

I work with clients who suffer from various emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety and trauma. I focus on educating the client what she or he is going through and together we design strategies that help cope with the emotional difficulties. An important emphasis is placed on sleep hygiene because healthy sleep often helps restore emotional well-being. We also offer physical rehabilitation at our clinic for clients who have chronic pain and other physical problems co-existing with emotional difficulties.

I have experience helping clients with issues related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotion regulation, issues with their relationship(s), social isolation, gender and sexual identity, loss, and trauma. In my work, I seek to help clients integrate themselves using a strengths-based, holistic perspective, seeking to facilitate a better understanding of how environmental, social, and cultural factors contribute to their individual problems and chosen responses. By employing this integrative approach to therapy, I find it better assists clients in making positive and lasting change.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).
