Are you going through rough times, feeling lonely, unable to open up to anybody? Scared of pouring your problems on others around you? Afraid of being judged by others? Feeling like you're a burden to people around you? Do you just feel so heavy and are so tired of everything, or overwhelmed and unable to relax? Looking for support in a safe and judgment-free space where you can talk, unload, let things off your chest; learn new skills, have new insight on a lot of things happening in your life? Do you have some goals you want to achieve or are simply looking to live a healthier life style and looking to implement change?

I work with adults in clinical and health psychology in both English and French.  I treat a variety of psychological issues, on their own or in combination, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and personality disorders.  I work with clients with chronic pain or other health problems.  I also help clients with  relationship issues, work stress, identity issues, existential concerns, LGBTQ concerns, grief, self-esteem, and self-acceptance.

I am a registered psychologist in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. I am also a professor of counselling at Saint-Paul University and the director of clinical training.

I specialize in therapy for men! I also work with women and people, regardless of their gender identification, sexual orientation, their ethnic and cultural background! :) Do you feel trapped? Nobody understands you? You have tried everything but nothing works? You've said it, shouted it, screamed it but no one heard you? It is difficult or impossible to say no without feeling guilty? You have been told that crying is for the weak? You've been told that something is wrong with you? I can help you work through all of this and help you become yourself again! I also offer ADHD coaching and couple's therapy (for Ontario's residents)

We provide services to youth, individual adults, and parents. Common concerns we support are anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, trauma, self-harm, and those facing life stress and heart ache. We have seven highly knowledgeable therapists at Juniper; each with their own strong area of training and specialization. Our therapists are compassionate, friendly, and down-to-earth. We would be happy to connect with you to find out which therapist might be your best match! We provide counselling in-person (south Kanata) or online/phone. Our services are covered by most insurance companies.

We are an experienced team of mental health providers who are committed to pursuing excellence in the field of psychotherapy. Our therapists work under consultation and engage in ongoing professional development training in order to offer the best available care to our clients.

Mental health can be especially challenging to understand because it isn't something you can see like an external physical injury. If feelings of being stuck or out-of-control, or the sense that life is spiraling downhill somehow seem familiar, they might just stem from poor mental wellbeing. We'll work together using evidence-based psychotherapy to improve your quality of life and help you get back on track. I always encourage clients to book an initial 15 minutes complimentary session so we can determine together if psychotherapy can help you, and even if not, always provide you with plenty of other resources better suited.

I am currently accepting new clients from $50 to $100/session. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions, and am also offering a free consult to see if we are a good fit. I am a genuinely empathetic and dedicated therapist who specializes in the mental and emotional health of racialized communities and has expertise working with Black African Diaspora youth, and men. My goal in therapy is to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for your mental health and growth. I provide unconditional support to my clients as they chart a path to wellness.

Currently accepting new clients! I offer a free 20 min. video or phone consultation for new clients. I utilize a relational psychodynamic approach in working with clients in order to facilitate change and achieve the the best therapeutic outcomes. I strongly believe empathy and compassion are key components in the success of the therapeutic process, and I always offer a space where clients can feel heard, secure and validated. At the same time, I believe that through a relational approach, clients can gain profound insight into unconscious relationship patterns.

Hello. Many people are negatively affected by anxiety and depression. However it's sometimes difficult to figure out why. Similarly many people find relationships difficult and complicated. Both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offer quick, effective ways to cut through symptoms and understand what is underlying our challenges. My work often employs short-term techniques, exploring thoughts and feelings around relationships, self-esteem or historical trauma, using a focussed and directed, but nurturing approach. I also offer long-term therapy when we need extra time to explore more complex issues.

Accepting New Clients! Therapy services I offer include and are not limited to: • anxiety and depression • emotional management • co-dependency issues • communication • family of origin issues • grief work • men’s issues / challenges • personal and interpersonal growth • self-esteem / self-care • stress management and much more!

My philosophy is Existential, meaning that we are free and therefore responsible for our choices, We are the authors of our lives, and we design the pathways we follow. My basic premise is that we are not victims of circumstance because, to a large extent, we are what we choose to be. Life is a cycle of transitions and experiences, presenting opportunities and challenges. Often the most important life lessons comes from our suffering. My aim is to assist people to develop their meaning and purpose, by encouraging them to explore options, in order to achieve a more meaningful existence.

WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS. I strive to create a safe and non-judgemental space in which clients can address any of their concerns. Life can be extremely difficult at times but that doesn't mean you have to stay stuck in the same patterns or cycles that can seem impossible to break. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, or are struggling in everyday life, this can quickly become overwhelming and exhausting. I believe that everyone has the capability within themselves to effectuate change. Sometimes it takes a little guidance and reflection to help you move closer to your values and the life you want to live.
