Trauma Focused Therapists in Stouffville, ON
I am deeply passionate about supporting and walking alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges. Having gone through my own therapeutic journey, I understand how difficult and scary it can be to reach out, or to even imagine how things could be different. By drawing from my personal experience and professional expertise, I aim to empower you to embark on your own transformative journey towards change and self-discovery. I believe that we all have the ability to create change in our lives, and that this ability is realized through a strong therapeutic relationship, compassion, acceptance, and support.

Centre Bethany Centre is a place that provides counselling services that will contribute to the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Our approach is centred around healing in an African cultural context, that is to say, healing is the remedy that is required when something goes wrong with the functioning of the mind, body, psyche, environment and spirit. This malfunction often results in one feeling anxious; abandoned; physically, psychologically and spiritually traumatized; a sense of loss of self.

Have you experienced trauma? Do you oscillate between feeling overwhelmed and anxious, to numb and detached? Do you think that you will never measure up or be "good enough"? We adapt to our environment as a means of ensuring our survival. Perhaps you've learned to adapt by withdrawing from others, or neglecting your own needs. It may have helped to stay endlessly busy, never allowing yourself a break, or using aggression to protect yourself. Regardless of how you have adapted or coped with what happened to you, I firmly believe we can heal from trauma and find inner peace.
