Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Mississauga, ON

Have you been feeling overwhelmed & stressed? Experiencing difficulty in your relationships, school or work? Are you struggling with your emotions? Are you a parent with a child experiencing behavioural issues? Are you or your child struggling with thoughts of depression, self-harm & suicide ? Are you experiencing anxiety & work/school related issues? Do you have low self esteem? You have come to the right place! I would be honoured to support you. Whether it be helping you process events, providing support or learning different coping skills through evidence-based interventions, I am here to support you!

We are excited to offer comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) programs for both adolescents and young adults in our community. DBT is an evidence-based program designed to guide individuals from enormous suffering (e.g., thinking of suicide , self-harm, intense mood swings, difficult relationships) to a "life worth living." Many people struggling with these difficult problems have trouble finding success in more traditional therapy or make repeated visits to inpatient facilities. DBT programs are set up to break through barriers to treatment and help individuals significantly improve within 6 months to 1 year of treatment.

Our comprehensive DBT program is committed to providing compassionate & effective treatment for individuals who may experience intense emotions (such as anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt), impulsive behaviours (such as self-harm, suicide , stealing, substance use, risky behaviours), & stormy relationships (which could look like switching between pushing people away & clinging to them, challenges with saying no). We also offer trauma treatment through Prolonged Exposure-DBT and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) because many of the current day experiences, emotions & views of the world, are based on previous experiences.

Our life journey is always going to be filled with ups and downs, and although we have the strength and tools to handle most of the downs, occasionally we may need some support, encouragement, or a listening ear.

I use a person centred approach to empower individuals to deal with any adversity or life's challenge they are facing, help with healing, build resilience, recognize their own individual strengths, and move towards positive self-growth and the life they want to lead.

The key is to identify a therapist whom you feel a connection with, and have confidence that they possess the skills required to facilitate desired change. Clients are supported in identifying and increasing their awareness of repetitive and interfering patterns, and exploring routes for change, healing and growth. My intention is to facilitate clients in transforming the emotional impact of life's various challenges and stressors.
