Therapists in Saint Catharines, ON

Most of the people you know would say you seem fine. But really, you feel like you're just going through the motions. You put on a smile when you actually feel sad, numb, hopeless, angry, overwhelmed or all of the above. Feelings of fear, shame and guilt guide your choices. You've lost interest in things you used to enjoy and find yourself preferring to stay home. Maybe you've started having anxiety and panic attacks. Now you can't even sleep well and have started to engage in self destructive thoughts and behaviours. You just don’t feel like yourself.

Relationships are hard, and as men we do not always know how to effectively work through turbulence. Sometimes, we can act in ways that push others away. Other times, we can get pushed away for seemingly no rhyme or reason. In both situations it can feel impossible to find peace, whether that means working towards mending the relationship, or in some circumstances learning how to let go. These complex situations consume a great deal of our time, and can leave us feeling sad, anxious, angry, and not like ourselves. Together, we can build healthy and satisfying relationships and get you back to feeling like YOU.

Therapy uses many aspects of ourselves in order to find the wisdom to come back home to our physical bodies. While meditation is the personal journey inwards – therapy is the relational experience to bring you back in touch with your environment, to see what is stuck and what has to die in order to find the song of who you truly are. With compassion, we will explore through many experiences of embodiment, roleplay, dreams, symbols and dialogue so that through those awarenesses that emerge, you will have opportunity to see your life and relationships differently, allowing you to make empowered choices.
