As a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I provide professional support to individuals, families, health teams, and organizations. For almost 20 years I have worked with individuals at critical points in their lives. Coping with difficult life transitions can be challenging for many reasons. People often seek therapy as a means to navigate these circumstances and understand why they feel the way they do. The work towards change is driven by you. Helping you find motivation and/or clarity is driven by both of us. I am here to help, regardless of complexity - let us start together.

There may be times when your stress interferes with what you want in your life. You may be experiencing a mix of anxiety, panic, burnout, physical pain, sadness, anger or frustration with others and/or yourself. You may have noticed a pattern you're unhappy with or a specific situation that replays in your mind. The stress you're experiencing may be related to a difficult time in your past, your present, including injury, health anxiety, work or sport performance, anticipating the future, or a combination. It's not easy to reach out for help, so taking action by contacting a professional is you being courageous!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS and FREE CONSULTATION...My name is Joe and I am a registered social worker who currently works with youths and families at a mental health organization in Ontario, Canada. I bring over ten combined years of experience from my work with individuals, youth, couples and families. I share the intention of collaborating on better mental health outcomes for my clients and believe in creating the right environment for your success. However, I acknowledge that I am not the expert of your life - I am only an expert of your mental health process, someone that walks with you side by side on your mental health journey.

When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We are wired to bear the pain of real life, but our psychological suffering can be unboreable. Sigmund Freud called psychotherapy as “a cure through love” and I truly believe in this. The wounds that accrued in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. A relationship where the therapist doesn’t talk “at us” but “with us.” I believe all individuals can develop into a mature, fully realized adult. However, inner or outer obstacles can make this path difficult. My role has always been supporting my clients to remove these obstacles.

You are meant to thrive! But sometimes life stressors, conflictual relationships, or the effects of past trauma can get in the way of growth and satisfaction. You've managed for some time but now your coping strategies just don't seem to be working anymore and part of you is ready for something different.

If there is a magic word for change, it is resilience. Resilience is the capacity to grow despite misfortune, gaining strength from challenges rather than surrendering to them. It really is a vital life-skill and the best news is that resilience can be learned! That's a bonus, given that we cannot have complete control of our lives. Observing the positive effects of such resilience, I became more interested in helping others gain this capacity. There really is nobody quite like you and my task is to work with your individuality. This is why I focus on building your future strength. https://www.centrepsychotherapy.ca/

There are many ways to deal with an ADHD diagnosis. All are great and serve their purpose, however many research studies have found that the optimum way to achieve results faster is by hiring a trained ADD/ADHD Coach. I know this personally from both sides having ADHD myself and working with my own coach in addition to coaching various clients since 2005, and receiving my official certification in 2007 from The ADD Coaching Academy.
