Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sharon, ON

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, client centered therapeutic space for individuals and couples. I believe that a journey towards healing requires empathy, encouragement and supportive facilitation as we often haven't had the opportunity to learn ways to cope with traumatic experiences and life related stressors. This can result in dysregulation and feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelm in our day to day lives and relationships. Let's work together to explore and address your concerns in an open minded, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex/body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive space.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, and adults. When working with young children, I will incorporate play techniques to help them feel more comfortable and open during the counselling. I also work with parents and I love to work with adults individually as well. I enjoy partnering with my clients of any age, and I am passionate about assisting them as they navigate through challenging times in their lives. I work transparently with clients and practice with a non-judgmental approach.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut or struggling with depression or the aftermath of a trauma? We all face mental health challenges sometimes and need some help. Finding the right support can be challenging and I'm here to help. My goal is to empower you with specific skills so that you can be your own therapist, all from the comfort of your home. I use proven strategies to help you change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours so that you can feel like yourself again.

Compassionate and effective trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and loss therapy. I work with adults who have survived a trauma and/or loss and want to move forward. My clients have thoughts like, "I should have done something different" or "I am a bad mother/father/daughter/son/sibling." These are very common beliefs following trauma and loss. My clients struggle with shame and guilt on a daily basis. Moreover, somewhere between two to six months of treatment, my clients feel more fulfilled and more in-control of their symptoms. They also begin to use more balanced and grounded thoughts and beliefs.

You’re doing all the ‘right’ things to feel better but no matter what you do you’re still feeling out of sorts. Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You feel discouraged that you might not be able to get back to living your life the way you want to. You’re anxious and people notice your ‘bad mood’ which makes you feel guilty for not ‘being better’ for those around you. You’re here which means you want to try something different. You CAN do this.

Taking care of our mental health is more important than ever. Therapy allows you to comfortably share the thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationship issues that are most troubling in your life. Therapy is a collaborative process, where clients are the experts in their own lives. Together, we will develop an understanding of who you are and the core aspects of what has brought you to therapy. We then will work on building on the strengths you already have and learn further strategies to put you forward in the life you want to lead.

We're Alivia Solutions, a passionate & dedicated team of professionals help toddlers, children, youth, adults, families and couples deal with life issues. We believe that therapy is for everyone not just when you are in crisis. Therapy is a way to get unstuck from old patterns that no longer serve you. Life is uncertain & full of twists and turns. Parenting is hard. Relationships take work. Families can be dysfunctional. And sometimes love hurts. When we are confronted with feelings, events, or issues that make our life challenging - it’s ok to ask for help. We provide a safe in person and virtual space to be able to HEAL!

I believe that each person’s story and reason for accessing therapy is unique to them, and so my approach is to meet you where you are. I work with children, youth, and adults and have 10 years of experience supporting people to achieve their goals. I have worked extensively with children, and adults. I believe that successful therapy starts with a strong therapeutic relationship between myself and my client and I am honoured that you would consider inviting me to support you. I will provide a non-judgemental experience, focusing on the goals you wish to attain.

Welcome to Therapy Heals! I have worked with adults to process and overcome the far-reaching impacts of trauma on the mind and body. I work with those who have experienced trauma from historical childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, sexual abuse and sexual assault. Trauma can show up in many ways in the mind and body including anxiety, depression, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, among many other common symptoms. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are trauma focused to support you in processing your experiences and reaching your goals for therapy.

You may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety/stress, or feeling triggered by past trauma. We are a team of caring RSW's and RP's providing support to adolescents, adults, couples and First Responders. We specialize in trauma, childhood abuse and attachment wounds, maternal mental health, fertility, domestic violence, and couple therapy. Our approach is attachment-based and we are passionate about helping individuals to feel more connected to themselves and their relationships. We strongly believe that a therapist-client relationship should be rooted in trust and safety and characterized by warmth and acceptance.
