Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Mississauga, ON

Aspire Therapy is the private practice of Registered Psychotherapist Deborah Callander in Mississauga. ASPIRE is an acronym for A Supportive Partner in Recovery, which I believe describes my approach well. I draw primarily on Internal Family Systems therapy to explore the sources and development of the suffering in your life, critical to healing. Coping with pain by self medicating eventually does more harm than good. If you've tried to make changes but life has become unsustainable I can help. Let's discuss the options available to you for recovery.

I received my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and Postgraduate certifications in Clinical Assessments, Addictions and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I am a member in good standing with College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario CRPO and associated with Ontario Association of Mental Health Consultants, Counselors, Psychotherapists and Psychometrician OACCPP; and Canadian Association for Play Therapy CAPT.

Hello, my name is Rebecca (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is dedicated to providing all clients with a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space while working as a collaborative team. My goal is to provide you with guidance, support, and coping skills to produce positive change in your everyday life. I strive to help my clients recognize and utilize their own strengths and to help them achieve their full potential.

Prior to starting in private practice, I spent several years in child welfare. I have experience working with issues from childhood abuse, to familial conflict, neglect and more. I have since completed an advanced certification in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). Through my years of practice, I now primarily work with complex traumas and personality disorders; however, this is not limited.

Do you feel like your past is haunting you OR your future is taunting you? Until we address that anxiety, depression, or trauma, we will continue to feel out of control or that nothing ever changes. In counselling, we will explore your pattern of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and how they are linked to the problems in your life. You will learn more yourself, your attachment styles, relationships, trauma responses, and more. You will learn to effectively cope in stressful situations by using advanced coping techniques from various therapy methods.

My practice is a safe place that honours, respects and gives voice to painful experiences. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and discover that even one's vulnerabilities often unveil innate personal strength and resilience. My therapeutic approach is holistic and directed by your needs. I utilize EMDR, Internal Family Systems , Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Sandtray and Play Therapy modalities. I work with a broad range of issues including post traumatic stress, traumatic grief, parenting, self-esteem, body-image, shame, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and challenging family or life circumstances.

While making the decision to seek help can feel intimidating and overwhelming, it is also incredibly courageous, inspiring, and exciting! My aim is to cultivate a culturally sensitive safe space in which you can explore and better understand yourself, as well as help you in addressing challenges in daily living including anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. In using a holistic and client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with you as a unique individual with your own unique needs wanting to live a more purposeful, connected, and fulfilling life.

I value and respect the vulnerability and openness that it takes to reach out for help. I am committed to supporting your pursuit of improved mental health by encouraging healing, growth, and empowerment in a safe, inclusive, and collaborative environment where you feel respected, seen, and heard. My areas of focus include perinatal and postpartum mental health, fertility challenges, eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, trauma, stress management, self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, transitions, and relationships.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, panic or overwhelmed? Unable to identify what's going with you? Feeling unheard? I can facilitate you on the journey of positive change and healing. My experience helps me in supporting clients struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, panic attacks, individual trauma, low self-esteem, confidence or relationship issues, behavioral disorders and more. We can work together and activate the resources that are lying within you. You are just a call away towards journey of positive change, overcome challenges of your everyday life and maintain mental well-being.

Hello and welcome! I understand it can be scary and difficult when living through adverse or challenging experiences in your life whether past or present. Most important to our work together is creating a space that is yours, and supports healing on your unique journey. My 10 years of experience within the mental health system has provided me opportunity to work extensively with anxiety, depression, relational issues and trauma.

I work with adults who are seeking to better cope with life's challenges and looking for support with their self-growth. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, have a low sense of self-worth, want to more effectively manage stress, or identify as being "highly sensitive". I view therapy as an opportunity to uncover and resolve self-limiting beliefs in a safe, supportive and collaborative environment. I enjoy helping my clients expand their "toolkits", while developing self-understanding, self-compassion, and connection to their own values, strengths, and wisdom. I also provide support to other therapists.

I provide counselling to adults with various mental health and life challenges. Believing that profound and lasting change is possible, I work alongside you to help you make meaning of the feelings and experiences that are causing distress within you and in your relationships. From a curious, non-judgmental stance, I support you in cultivating a sense of stability, well-being, hope and possibility.

I am passionate about therapy as I have witnessed the freedom, growth, and empowerment it can provide.
