Therapists in Lanark, ON

In addition to general mental health, I work with people who are experiencing challenges with low motivation, anxiety, intrusive thoughts and mood issues. If you are getting stuck in an anxiety loop (fear, worry, concern), or are struggling with rumination and low mood - I can help with this.

New Clients Welcome! I see the potential in everyone to overcome challenges and build resilience despite difficulties. My experience includes working with children, adults, and seniors affected by illness, their families, and caregivers. I also work with anyone who is feeling lost or stuck and may be looking for clarity, guidance, or support. As a trauma-informed relational art therapist, I understand the importance of building a trusting alliance and offer choices for the direction of each art therapy session. My therapeutic approach to art therapy is trauma-informed, relational, existential, and positive.

Are you someone who struggles with food? Do you under or overeat or feel like your eating is out of control?

I am here to help. I help people deal with eating issues, disordered eating, and eating disorders feel better about eating and their body. I have a passion for helping others with their relationship with food and feeling better.

Want a counsellor who doesn't sound like a counsellor? Would you rather talk to someone who is authentic, where you could have a real conversation?

Tell me if any of this sounds familiar: I need to change my money mindset. I'm stuck in scarcity. I'm under-earning. I'm just bad with money. I'm ashamed of my debt.

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.

Are you suffering from depression, anxiety, grief or troubled relationships? If you are experiencing a difficult life transition such as employment change or loss, divorce, parenthood, retirement, or the loss of a loved one - I can help and offer support, kindness and empathy to help you see more clearly in the difficult times you may be experiencing. I favour a holistic, integrative approach, which is tailored to your individual needs. We work together to build on your strengths, identify behaviour patterns and thought processes which no longer serve you, in order to help you change and heal.

I specialize in therapy for narcissistic abuse! Do you feel confused, doubt yourself and question your needs? Do you feel dismissed, invalidated, and uncared for in one or more of your important relationships? Are your feelings negated, minimized and you make yourself small to accommodate the other person’s unreasonable demands? You may be on the receiving end of a narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse can lead to anxiety, depression and pervasive feelings of shame and self blame. Misuse of substances is often a maladaptive coping mechanism in the attempt to deal with constant emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation.

At Manotick Counselling, our goal is to assist our clients in creating a more stable, secure and resilient sense of self, partnership or family system within a safe and supportive environment. Through the identification and exploration of areas in which our clients wish to see improvement, we will work collaboratively in the formation and maintenance of client-focused treatment plans tailored to each unique circumstance.

No waitlist - New Clients Welcome - We serve a diversified clientele from North Grenville and surrounding area who are dealing with issues such as: stress, depression, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), difficulties with relationship, communication and self-assertion, life transitions (new parents, infertility, illness, bereavement, separation, divorce, career change), self-knowledge and self-esteem and more!

Mental health can be especially challenging to understand because it isn't something you can see like an external physical injury. If feelings of being stuck or out-of-control, or the sense that life is spiraling downhill somehow seem familiar, they might just stem from poor mental wellbeing. We'll work together using evidence-based psychotherapy to improve your quality of life and help you get back on track. I always encourage clients to book an initial 15 minutes complimentary session so we can determine together if psychotherapy can help you, and even if not, always provide you with plenty of other resources better suited.

Dealing with mental health and substance use can be a lonely and isolating experience. Having a safe space to untangle your thoughts and gain tools to better manage mental health can make a huge difference. I know sharing your stories and reaching out for help can be a difficult task which is why I strive to create an empathetic and safe environment to help you discover who you are and where you want to be.
