Therapists in North York, ON

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/

We're born into a world of stories about reality and about us. Our friends and our parents tell them to us. School, work and media tell them to us. And we start telling them to ourselves.

The re-discovery of who we are is crucial for living a meaningful life. In Groundwork we become co-coonspirators in finding the real story about you, finding the authentic grounds of your existence, and helping you choose to be real.

When you’re being told that you’re too sensitive or emotional, you feel like something's wrong with you. When you worry that your friend or partner will suddenly not want to be around you, you probably feel alone. As someone who has struggled with very intense emotions, I know what it’s like to be drowning in your feelings. I know that when your emotions are calling the shots, you feel like your friendships and relationships are full of intense highs and lows, with little periods of happiness in between.

The early stages of a child's life are the most vital for socioemotional development and a child's inner world is often complex and full of intricacies. Social anxiety, depression, the after effects of separation and divorce, and phobias are just some of the challenges that children may face in their lives. As every child is unique, these challenges can show up in a multitude of ways. Acknowledging these obstacles is the first step towards overcoming them and allowing children to become better adjusted. Any child can live up to their full potential given they have the right support in their life.
