Trauma and PTSD Therapists in London, ON

Making the decision to engage in therapy can be difficult, finding the right therapist can feel even more challenging. To lessen this obstacle, I offer a NO FEE initial session so that you can find the right fit without the added cost. Drawing from the latest knowledge in neuroscience, trauma, and attachment, I bring over 14 years of clinical experience to help you make sense of your inner world; how it impacts your relationship with yourself, with others, and how you engage in your environment. Together, we can use this awareness to move towards having more agency over your thoughts, responses, and your experience of your life.

Hi There! My name is Terri De Borger, and I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW). I have over a decade of experience supporting children, youth and their families. I support families through a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, as well as other developmental life transitions.

Men often face pressure to suppress their emotions, making therapy a courageous act of defiance. As a therapist, I specialize in guiding men through reconnecting with their emotions and inner selves. Many men seek deeper connections and understanding, aiming to enhance relationships and daily life. No matter what you are struggling with, my goal is to help you understand your underlying motivations and develop healthier coping mechanisms. With a focus on avoidant attachment styles, I provide a safe space for exploration and empowerment, aiming to shift patterns and foster self-discovery. Book a free 20-minute consult to learn more!

Have you been feeling stuck lately? Like you're not quite yourself anymore and have been going through a tough time? Maybe some experiences from your past have been effecting your present life and you're finding it hard to make changes. Trying to make changes before putting your past to rest will leave you exhausted and running in circles. Through a process that is designed to be fun, light-hearted, and efficient, I leverage neuroplasticity and memory reconsolidation to make therapy painless, easy, and permanently effective.

My person-centered approach aims to help you understand yourself on a deeper level, shift perspectives, set healthy boundaries, work through past trauma, increase confidence & trust in yourself and break unhealthy patterns. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, codependency, childhood trauma, grief and relationship concerns. I provide a comfortable, approachable and safe space for you to open up and feel heard.

My focus of my practice is that of relationship counselling. Relationship to self, others and the world is extremely important for healthy living. When something gets in the way of good relationship then sometimes it is really important to have a third parties insight into what might be going wrong and how to make changes to overcome what might be standing in the way. I see children, teens, individuals, couples, and families. We offer: anger management, domestic violence, relapse prevention, weight loss, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, trauma resolution and Christian counselling programs.

I am thrilled to be able to help people, "help themselves." I believe we all have answers to our problems and issues, which talking to a compassionate, caring person helps to uncover. Trauma of any kind can make us susceptible to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Certain situations in life are difficult for us to handle at times. I help to provide strategies and guidance in trying out new ways to cope. Shedding light onto our issues and behaviour which is not working for us places us in in the driver's seat as we control our reactions.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

Now Accepting New Clients: Do you need a therapist who actually understands how trauma impacts the body and brain, and how it affects all your relationships - especially the one with yourself? Maybe you've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just venting - but you need to learn how to actually PROCESS your emotions, not just talk about them. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've saved all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change.

I am currently accepting new clients! Reaching out for help can be difficult. I am here to hold space for your pain and walk alongside you in your healing journey. Let's create a collaborative relationship and use your strengths to navigate your problems. I often see clients who want to dig deeper into the "why" behind their choices and behaviours.

Hey there and welcome to my practice! I'm Michelle, a Registered Social Worker who has been providing counselling services to children, youth and families for over 20 years in a variety of settings including in community mental health agencies, residential treatment centres, and in schools. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental experience, while working together to help you reach your desired goals. I specialize in providing treatment to children, teens and young adults for anxiety, low mood, behavioural concerns, school refusal, emotion regulation, interpersonal difficulties, and clients impacted by trauma.

Life can be tough however, it shouldn't be made any harder by suffering. The causes of suffering are vast and unique to the individual. Within the therapeutic relationship I strive to help you understand the root causes of your suffering and help you recover from these wounds. In our work together we collaboratively decide goals, methods and the pace of our work. I strive to support and empower you to conquer your challenges and proclaim mastery over your life to the best of your ability as you move towards a future that is curated by you, free from past pain or adversities.

You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background of everything you do. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing helps for long.

Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In my practice, I use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).

Trauma, immigration related difficulties, and anxiety psychotherapist. You may be considering therapy to understand yourself better, or you may be going through some intense emotional pain and want relief. The reasons you are seeking therapy could be due to depression, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, feeling ‘empty’ or ‘stuck’. At times it may feel like traumatic experiences from the past are still affecting you in unexplainable ways. You may have experienced a deep loss, it could be the loss of a loved one, one’s homeland, or the loss in terms of unlived life. Whatever your reason might be, your feelings are valid.

Accepting new clients: Daytime, Evening and Saturday appointments available. Are you going through changes and need support|? Having difficulty coping, concentrating or dealing with things from your past, present or future?

We are all on a journey, our own journey. Sometimes that journey has bumps, twists, turns, and roadblocks that are super tough. Having someone to ride along beside you on your journey, even just for a short time, can be helpful.
