Therapists in Mississauga, ON

At The Sacred Self Wellness Collective, we understand that making the decision to seek mental health support can come with a sense of fear and uncertainty. The notion of opening up to a stranger can seem intimidating, and can go against all the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself in the world. We understand. Should you choose to work with us, know that you will be openly embraced and accepted for exactly who you are, and exactly where you are in your process of healing. Your practitioner will work with you at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you, with no pressure or judgment. Ever.

I believe that therapy should be an authentic and sincere experience in which you feel understood, heard, and seen as you are. It is not uncommon for us to feel stressed or overwhelmed due to life's challenges. We will therefore work collaboratively to accomplish your individual goals and needs. I believe you are the real expert of your life, and it would be my pleasure to walk alongside you as you embark on this journey of healing and personal growth.

****ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS****Are you battling feelings of disconnection and discontent? Do your needs often take a backseat in your life? Do you ponder if life could be more fulfilling and happier? In today's demanding world, many are grappling with anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty in managing relationships, careers, and lives overall. Neglecting your needs and lacking self-care can lead to prolonged mental and physical concerns. We firmly believe life shouldn't be this tough. Healing Roots Therapy (HRT) is a dedicated clinic, blending evidence-based healing methods with traditional psychotherapy for comprehensive care.

Life certainly has many stressors these days. You may be considering therapy to help make sense of how you are feeling. Crushing feelings of overwhelm can seem hopeless and isolating. Change is scary, feels hard, especially if you feel like you are doing it alone. By remaining curious and building self-awareness, we can start to identify your stuck points, and together build skills and strategies to empower you to regain your sense of self. My approach is to work collaboratively with you, to understand what you are looking for, and for you to see your world a little clearer.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being.

Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

I work hard with my Clients to strengthen their sense of agency/choices, widen their capacity to self-reflect, evaluate, regulate any difficult thoughts/emotions/actions & psycho-educate on topics relevant to them.

I also collaborate with the various sub-systems both at the micro (family, doctors) & macro levels (schools, hospitals, lawyers) with the intention to support Client reach their goal of improving their life.
