In my 40 year career as a clinical social worker, I have gained extensive experience in developing, effecting, and managing therapeutic approaches for individuals and families who bear the damage of
sexual abuse
. I am prepared to offer help for many problem areas but I give special emphasis to male and female adults and youth who have committed, or are at risk of committing, or have been the victim of problematic sexual behaviour, This includes clients with special needs such as intellectual disability. I also support families with safety planning for child protection cases or with family resolution/reintegration.

I have journeyed with them as they learned how to lead a "good life" - a life free from
sexual abuse
.
Over the past 20 years I have specialized in working with individuals (adults and youth, male and female) who have done something of a sexual nature that has gotten them into trouble, or have engaged in violent behaviour towards their intimate partner. I am a qualified expert in Criminal, Family, and Superior court to conduct risk assessments for individuals who have committed a sexual based offence, as well provide the courts with recommendations for treatment options for those individuals. I am also specialized in working with clients suffering with anger management issues.
Russell Stagg
MA, MC, LCT, RP
Verified
I help individuals and couples with a variety of concerns, and I specialize in trauma, particularly
sexual abuse
and sexual
assault
. My chaplaincy experience is often a reason people choose me. I start by trying to understand your situation as if it were my own, so you will feel deeply heard. I'll teach you cognitive-behavioural techniques to overcome toxic thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. You may also learn mindfulness if you are dealing with addiction, PTSD, or depression. If you're a couple, I'll help you focus on the powerful emotions underneath your anger, to avoid the negative anger-driven patterns of the past.

The body keeps the score. I help trauma survivors live full, and connected lives. I have many years of experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual
assault
, as well as harmful, abusive, or neglectful childhood experiences. Trauma may impact your self-esteem, or create relationship issues, anxiety, alienation from the body, feelings of being disconnected from yourself and others. A central focus of my work has been supporting clients impacted by trauma without the lens of pathology. That’s to say: there’s nothing wrong with you at all. Your way of being in the world was developed as means of protection.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

Sometimes life presents challenges and struggles that signal us that it’s time for internal and/or external change. Sometimes, change isn’t easy and it can be hard to let go of what no longer serves us. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, or transitions that have impacted how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Sometimes we need some help to navigate the journey and find our way back to ourselves. You don’t need to do it alone.

The clients I serve in my practice are women, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Hello! I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 11 years of experience providing individual and group counselling services to a diverse, adult population. I have been an adjunct clinical professor and supervisor to new therapists and therapists-in-training for over 5 years. I have learned that finding a therapist you "click with" is one of the best predictors of positive outcome in therapy. I value getting to know who you are aside from your presenting concerns and developing a genuine, human connection. Using evidence-based practice, I will pull from different models of therapy to tailor my approach to who you are as a person.

The past throws stones to the present, and that is what brings many people to therapy. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, but often our own story can get in the way of that healing. If this is your first time seeking out a therapist or if you've done this before, it is my hope to work alongside you, at your pace, as collaborate to make a plan that addresses your needs. With this, it is important for you to choose a therapist who is a good fit and connects to your needs. I encourage you to explore my website and reach out to me to determine if I am that fit for you.

Imagine being in a place where you feel safe, supported and accepted, in a way that moves you to tell your story to someone who listens to you fully and really hears what you are saying. Most of us rarely experience this. However, this is the experience Gladys strives to create for each of her clients: a space of understanding, curiosity and hope, one that naturally leads to the uncovering of answers to life's difficulties, to the resolving of the anxieties that surround you.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd, CCC-S
Verified
No counsellor is the right fit for everyone, I know. In the past decade I have learned that my approach is often a good fit for people who seek healing after trauma (long past and recent events), and I have a special interest in supporting those healing in the wake of traumatic bereavement. I also work with individuals and couples who find that their day-to-day routines are simply not working anymore, sometimes because of a loss or a change in circumstance and other times because their entire sense of self is in transition. If you are asking "who am I now?" or "how do I live with this?" my services may be a good fit.

We all strive to be happy. But some days life can feel so overwhelming its hard to breathe. We may feel anxious, sad or frustrated, and it's hard to cope with day to day challenges. Our feelings can impact our relationships with our family, our ability at work, or time with our friends. They may cause self-doubt, social issues and health concerns. Often we have no idea where these feelings are coming from. We just know we are hurting. But to effectively address these feelings we need to understand what's behind them. We need to explore the underlying contributors that are causing the difficulties.
