In Person Therapists in Ridgeway, ON
I employ common sense strategies that allow my clients to implement new ways of seeing the world in a positive light. I'll tell you that the most powerful tool on earth is the human mind but nobody ever gave us the operations manual. I see myself as a mechanic of sorts, offering information from the minds operational handbook, allowing you to switch off the auto pilot and switch on your self determination to overcome adversity and accomplish more. And for what it's worth, I won't shy away from politically incorrect responses. The world can be harsh and I won't sugar coat it unless it's necessary to protect you from imminent harm.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by change, unsure how to support yourself - or your child - through it, no matter what you try? You’re someone who cares deeply about others whether you’re managing your own life transitions, supporting a child through emotional challenges, or balancing the demands of caregiving, but still find yourself feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. You may feel like you're doing all the right things, but the anxiety lingers, the uncertainty builds, and you begin to worry about your ability to cope. You might feel exhausted, stuck, or like you're carrying it all alone.

Life can be tough. Sometimes this causes you experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. Perhaps you feel depressed, angry, stuck, sad, unsatisfied or anxious; perhaps addictive patterns or other self-destructive behaviours are wearing you down and disrupting your life. Maybe the way that you have always dealt with things is no longer working.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion
