Family Systems Therapists in Renfrew, ON

Feeling anxious, caught in the cycle of people-pleasing or struggling with an eating disorder? Are you disconnected from your true self or struggling with relationships? Childhood trauma can have lasting effects that limit us, impacting our self-esteem, direction, and relationships. If you're navigating the conditioning from emotionally immature or neglectful parents, or if relationships don't feel safe, holistic psychotherapy can be your compass for healing. There's hope for breaking free from old patterns, knowing your true needs and desires, and living a life aligned with your authentic self, not just societal expectations.

Are you struggling with daily life, goals, or your relationship with yourself or others? Do fear, anxiety, low self-worth, setting boundaries, or anger hold you back? I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental approach focused on helping you rediscover your self-worth and innate ability to navigate life's challenges. With a background in addiction treatment and a diverse upbringing, I integrate Eastern philosophy and spirituality into my practice. I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services.

My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

No one escapes life’s challenges and they can leave you feeling stuck. Having a safe space to land and process our experiences is something I am honoured to get to do with you. I like to think of myself as a guide; supporting you along your journey but empowering you to have the tools, strategies and skills to one day make it on your own. Embarking on a healing journey can feel overwhelming and alone, but we are here so you do not have to walk that road alone. A study by Gabor Mate revealed that trauma without validation or a compassionate witness goes unprocessed, and that is what Danielle offers in the counselling room.

My philosophy is that as we experience life we form narratives that shape how we view the world, ourselves, and others. We repeat these images, stories, and metaphors to ourselves, and look to reinforce these narratives by looking for evidence that supports them.

Life's challenges can leave us feeling anxious and disconnected from the fulfilling life we desire. Has your life become too overwhelming and stressful to manage alone? Whether it's navigating relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, therapy can be a transformative journey toward reclaiming your sense of self. As a trauma-informed therapist and Cuban immigrant, I specialize in working with diverse populations, including newcomers to Canada and BIPOC individuals. Let's create a treatment plan together that honours your unique goals, in a space where your preferred language is respected and cultural humility is paramount.

It takes courage to begin taking steps toward starting therapy. Has your life become too overwhelming and stressful to manage alone? Are you grieving? Trust me, I have been there too, and feeling anxious and fearful is normal. As your therapist, I will walk with you on your healing journey. A safe and supportive ambiance would be created where we can share openly and address your concerns. I would like to help you, especially if you are experiencing relationship/identity issues, anxiety, grief, or trauma. If you are open to working with me, together we could develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique goals.

Welcoming New Clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for a counsellor who has compassion without judgement? I counsel from a strengths-based framework, working with clients to embrace coping strategies to achieve their goals in health and happiness. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in narrative therapy, family systems and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue. I believe that people who access counselling are at a place in their lives where they have identified wanting to be in control of their future selves. I'm looking forward to hearing from you so that we can start down that road together.

Some of the issues I focus on are depression, anxiety, communication skills’ building, pre and post-marital conflict, attention-deficit disorder (ADHD), intimacy/ relationship issues and any day-to-day life concerns. If you feel ready to explore your feelings and you are willing to work on yourself, please contact me to set up an appointment.

Relationships are at the core of feeling love and belonging. However, when our relationships are functioning poorly we can experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, or anger. In this space, we will explore how early life relationships shaped your attachment, communication, and conflict patterns to connect them to the impact they are having in your current life. From there, we can develop healthy new patterns. I also work with couples on their communication, boundaries, intimacy, meeting needs, and trust. Together you will learn to communicate safely and predictably and co-create your ideal intimate life.

Hi, I'm Anne and I recently completed my MA in Counselling and Spirituality at St Paul University. I bring compassion, empathy and life experience to my practice, and I use a client-centred approach that recognizes and values your individuality. My practice incorporates elements of an attachment-based perspective, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, narrative theory and CBT. However, my main priority is for you to feel heard and understood; and for us to work together on goals that are tailored to your specific needs and experiences.

I offer person-centered, attachment-based counselling services in order to assist with relationship enhancement, personal growth, healing, awareness and emotional understanding. I offer compassionate, confidential counselling sessions and have experience working with individuals and couples in the following areas: Stress, anxiety and depression; Relationship concerns; Grief and loss; Physical and sexual abuse; Self-esteem concerns; Anger management; Parenting/co-parenting concerns; Separation and divorce; Pre-marital education. I work within a collective with fellow RSWs and RPs. Please see website for further details.

It is my belief that there is a story behind everything we do. While we can't change the events and circumstances from our past, with support and understanding, we can often process through them in order to heal, learn, and grow. With this insight we are better equipped to make changes in our lives that can provide us with a renewed hope for our future.
