Parenting Therapists in Newmarket, ON

Hi! I am Danielle a Registered Social Worker here in Ontario. My goal is to help meet clients where they are in the present-moment & work together Toward their goals to achieve their best version of themselves that they strive to become. I work from an anti-oppressive, strengths based frame of practice. I am a genuinely empathetic, warm person who will go above & beyond to make sure you truly feel seen, heard & understood. I look forward to connecting with as you embark on your lifetime journey to finding your purpose, discovering your unique strengths & embodying your vision toward your ideal future self.

One of my specialties is in Maternal Mental Health. Having personally experienced a traumatic birth, it is my passion to support other parents and families who are facing difficulties or trauma related to pre or post-partum experiences. Parenthood can often feel lonely and isolating, but with the right coping strategies and supports, it can also be rewarding and exciting. Additional special interests of mine include supporting those who identify with anxiety, the aging population and/or life transitions, work place issues, and parenting struggles.

In my practice, I work mainly with children, youth and their families. I offer individual therapy for children/youth who struggle with issues like self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bullying, emotional regulation and parent -teen conflict. Parent sessions are recommended along side the child's therapy. In certain situations, I provide parent coaching for those who want to reflect upon themselves and develop better parenting strategies. For those seeking individual and family therapy, my hope is to offer a space where each person can talk without shame and begin to compose the life they desire.

Calling all stressed out moms and dads! If you're a parent of young kids (like me!), this might resonate: You’re exhausted. Between the kids, all of your responsibilities, and the pandemic you’ve been just barely hanging on for as long as you can remember. You’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, worried, or sad. You feel like you need to put everyone else first, but the problem is that you never get around to you. You’re feeling stuck, and you’re ready to do something about it. Whether you're stressed about the kids, or just feel overwhelmed by life in general, you're in the right place. I've been there and I get it.

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.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who is committed to helping others live life to their fullest potential by addressing the challenges they are experiencing. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship that is respectful, genuine and meaningful, while collaboratively creating strategies and solutions. I believe that clients access therapy for a variety of reasons and my approach is to draw upon your strengths and develop interventions that best fit your individual needs. I have more than 20 years of experience working with children, youth and families in a variety of settings helping them to live their best lives.

I would like to invite you into a non-judgmental, nurturing, and anti-oppressive space, where we can work together to address the challenges in your life. Sometimes life can bring hardship and unexpected events, which can produce negative feelings and emotions. Some of these challenges require less support to process and work through, while others may take longer and require more frequent support to overcome. As your therapist, my goal is to understand you, your needs, and guide you to cope with or overcome the difficulties interfering with your everyday life.

Modern life presents challenges: unanticipated changes and problems that appear to have no easy solution. There are times when counselling and support can help.

Trained as a Child and Family Therapist, I have worked with clients of all ages. My counselling style is client-centered and strengths based. Together we will identify your goals and work toward accomplishing them, encouraging greater resiliency in the process.

As a psychotherapist specializing in parenting issues, I understand how stressful it can be when, despite your best efforts, you continue to have challenges with your child's behavior.

I will work to help you understand your unique child more fully and build on your parenting strengths to create a family atmosphere that is harmonious, respectful and one which lays a foundation for healthy self-esteem.

We are all going through some tough times right now. Some of us have less energy or feel anxious and hopeless. Words like "anxiety", "stress", "depression" or "sadness" may come to mind. This is a unique period in time and it is natural to feel uneasy. I use a psychodynamic, solution-focused approach, thus, acknowledging your complexity and inherent strengths. Together, we will develop solutions from your unique perspective. I have provided therapy for individuals, children and couples. I strive to be honest and non-judgmental, enjoy working with everyone and can offer supportive and realistic strategies to improve your life.

My name is Jennifer Barkin. I specialize in working with families in all areas pertaining to separation and divorce. I am a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, an Accredited Family Mediator with the Ontario Association of Family Mediators , a Parenting Coordinator , and a CDC Certified Divorce Coach.

We often feel like we would like to change things in our lives, be a better parent or spouse or learn how to cope better with the way we manage stress. Having a deeper understanding of mental health and how it affects our mind and body can allow us to work towards healthier solutions to improve our lives.

Children and youth often experience strong emotions (anxiety, sadness, anger, fear) that are the roots of their behavioral challenges, self- and emotion dysregulation, and other adjustment issues. These issues negatively impact their quality of life. Through play and art therapy, I facilitate and witness the unfolding of children's lived experiences. I help them to explore and express their thoughts, emotions and memories that may not be easily expressed using words. Through interacting with their personal symbols in the play or their art, children gain self-acceptance which is the bridge to healing the inner pain and trauma.

When challenges and struggles touch our lives, reaching out to a professional for guidance and support in an empathic, safe environment can assist us in addressing life stressors and foster healing. My goal is to collaboratively cultivate such a space with you so that you are free to explore, empowered to reach insights, and encouraged to engage in new and constructive strategies. All the while, shedding light on your strengths and abilities to cope and thrive. I have an interest in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss, bereavement, life transitions, stress, parenting and relational concerns.
