Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Perth, ON

I have been a registered social worker and psychotherapist living and working in Lanark County for almost 20 years. I feel counselling is a collaborative process, empowering you to accomplish your mental health and wellness goals. Together, we will develop an individualized plan, giving you the skills and tools needed to achieve those goals. Sometimes it is also helpful to simply be heard and validated. My main areas of focus include anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, stress and adjustment, substance use, relationship, irritability and anger, and family violence.

The decision to access counselling is a personal one. Whether you've been to a counsellor before, or you are just starting to explore the options, thank you. Not just for reading this - but for taking the time to look into what is available and what may be right for you. People generally come to therapy for a reason, such as a specific event that they would like to discuss, or to work through uncomfortable emotions. Together, we can prioritize goals, explore and work through issues, develop new coping strategies, and create a plan to determine next steps.
