Family Therapy in Newmarket, ON

With 30 years experience as a therapist I am passionate about helping people. My therapy approach is collaborative, respectful and client centred. I strive to create a safe supportive environment for change. I work along side people to help them move forward in their lives, beyond the problems that keep them stuck. Through our work together my hope is that people will find new possibilities for living their life. My primary focus is helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, substance misuse, addictions and relationships.

It's not easy to take the first step when you are struggling with overwhelming emotions or feeling stuck in a certain situation such as your career, personal relationships or family dynamics. Therapy helps by providing a safe space to process your feelings so that you can move forward and feel more in control of your life. I provide counselling and psychotherapy making use of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Practice and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, empathetic and supportive and I work from a strength-based perspective.

Difficult days are inevitable on life’s journey. You may be having challenges in a relationship, struggling to cope with a past or recent trauma, be a victim of abuse, bullying or race based trauma, going through a divorce or separation, worried about your relationship with children or other family members, experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, depression, stress, grief or just going through a difficult period of your life. Whatever the challenge or struggle, you don’t have to suffer in silence. IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK!! Reassuringly, there is collaborative support available to get you through.

Our landscape has changed. Our capacity for contribution is tied to our capacity to navigate life with confidence. We live in an era of unprecedented stress, pressure and overwhelm. A lack of confidence and increased disconnection is a strong predictor of overall dissatisfaction in life and decreased mental health. People are struggling more than ever, to navigate their life and need real solutions. Most therapy scratches the surface and leaves us frustrated and hopeless. Our method is different. We provide a practical, evidence-based framework to build confidence and connection quickly, and for the long.

Hi! I'm Glenda. Would you like your relationship to be so much more than it is? Maybe you've been fighting with your partner or relative for years or even decades and would like some help so that you can see the joy in your relationship again. Perhaps you are in the middle of a separation or divorce. Or you've experienced a tragic loss. Infertility? Illness? Difficult in-laws or toxic coworkers? Complicated grief? Do you feel alone? Are you wondering where God is in all of this, as many of us do? I would be honored if you would allow me to support you.

Our compassionate professionals do not shy away from hard struggles and big emotions. We’re dedicated to walking with you on your journey to better mental health.

It’s our goal to empower you with these tools as you build a better relationship with yourself. It takes time—and it is possible for you.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/ family /friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

Children are constantly evolving and growing and during their journey they sometimes need some support to encourage and help them to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. During this time parents are also growing and evolving. Parenting can be both the most challenging and rewarding experience we have but sometimes during those challenging times we need some support.

It can be difficult trying to cope with distressing times on your own. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. My role is to give you caring, non-judgmental support so that you can make sense of your emotions and gain a clearer picture of how your past plays a role in your current relationships. You will begin by telling me about yourself and the reasons why you've come to therapy and then we can explore together new ways of reflecting and interacting that will lead to a more fulfilling life.
