Culturally Sensitive Therapists in St Thomas, ON

I believe that our lives are best lived with a sense of purpose, and my purpose is to be of service to others. As such I work with people to help support them in identifying and addressing their challenges and assist them with being present in their lives. I am grateful to work with: First Responders addressing work, incurred trauma and personal issues related to their service. Persons who identify as part of the LGBTQ +, Kink and ENM communities in a culturally sensitive and sex positive environment. An important focus of my practice is working with men regarding their sexual health/functioning. Especially post cancer diagnosis.

You’re getting calls from the school about your child. If he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and you’re an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or ignoring you. You can’t figure out what’s going on, you're frustrated, tired, and at a loss as a parent as to how to help. I get it. Parenting is hard sometimes. If your child or adolescent is struggling with issues around peer relationships, anxiety, depression, school, parental separation, gender identity, ADHD, and other types of neurodiversity, I can help.

It can be hard watching our child struggle whether it be with anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, loss, trauma or significant life changes and if any of this is resonating with you I believe you are in the right place.

And yes - we can do all of this while also having fun!

At Elgin Counselling and Mediation Centre, our mission is to provide empathetic, inclusive, and accessible mental health services that are affordable and effective. We work with businesses, individuals, couples, and families to provide evidence-based therapy that is tailored to each client's unique needs.

As a Social Worker, I provide a safe space for individuals to open up about their challenges, utilizing a variety of therapeutic strategies and interventions to help elevate people's lives so they can have better opportunities to live an authentic and fulfilling life. My lived experiences are incorporated into my clinical work to support others in connecting “head to heart” in challenging and dismantling the many social constructs people often feel they need to uphold. As you begin to lean into the vulnerability of speaking your truth, the awakening journey begins.

Accepting New Clients! I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and psychotherapist offering services for adolescents and adults. Psychotherapy is used to treat symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma (PTSD), grief, major life transitions, and relationship problems. If these are some of your struggles you have done the hardest part, looking for support and trying something different. Life gets hard and we are not meant to navigate it alone. If you are here it means you are ready to learn more about yourself, what is troubling you, and new ways to deal with your challenges.

Most of us men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or we don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

The individuals I work with are often overextended with life responsibilities/stressors, leaving minimal time for personal fulfillment. An overarching worry over things beyond their control, focus on ‘to-do’ lists, rumination over past behaviour and about the future, leads folks to burnout, poor sleep quality, procrastination and avoidance. Anxiety and depression can also lead to feeling undervalued, lack boundaries with others, ineffective communication, feeling unheard, and low self-esteem. Difficult life transitions, including navigating an injury, illness or chronic pain are theme's within my practice.

Does any of this sound familiar? You survived emotional neglect. You work hard and are independent. Sometimes, your drive has harmed relationships and partnerships. Perhaps your family members struggle with alcohol or addictions. You often feel isolated and "not enough", and could use help from a person who understands these challenges. If you are Neurodivergent, in Recovery; or considering gender transition, I have specific education + experience to support you (Rainbow Health Ontario provider). I am Autistic (AuDHD), adopted, ACE, trans and in a loving marriage. I work, volunteer and learn in Harm Reduction communities.
