Blue Shield Therapists in Thornhill, ON

Do you feel like you are unable to calm? Do you feel anxious and judged by others? Do you feel restless, irritable, and stuck in "on" mode in this ready-to-react mode? Do you have persistent negative thinking, extreme emotion fluctuations, repeating the same actions and patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to lift your mood? These are among some of the many symptoms of trauma. Trauma changes the nervous system and the ability to regulate our nervous system is directly correlated with our mental health. CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy can help correct/heal the nervous system, by processing and releasing trauma stored in the body.

Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.

**NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN PERSON AND REMOTELY** I pride myself in offering clients an approach that is dedicated to understanding their goals through a collaborative counselling experience. I create a safe and calm space to facilitate a strong therapeutic connection with clients. With gentle curiosity and openness, I invite clients to tell me about their world and experience, so I can learn from them. I believe that healing is possible for everyone and it is my joy to help a client unlock their full potential for happiness and health. It’s not about merely helping clients to survive the day to day but helping clients to thrive!

We all experience points in our lives that can be challenging to manage. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, lost, confused, anxious, or disconnected. Whatever situation you may be facing, having someone to talk to can be very helpful. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist with several years of experience supporting couples and individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions. As a therapist, I am dedicated in providing the highest quality of service and help you rediscover a sense of courage, strength and empowerment.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple or family who want to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals including emotional and interpersonal wellness supporting an improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated with an eye toward resolution or longer-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My goal is to work with you to make life better.

A safe space to explore emotions, feelings, and perspectives without judgment. That’s what you can expect from each session with Angeli Sareen, MSW RSW, who has built her practice on a foundation of compassion and understanding. Every interaction is conducted through an empathetic lens, allowing clients to embark fully on their healing journey in an environment that is comfortable and welcoming. Angeli supports her clients with developing strong interpersonal communication skills so they can feel at ease when expressing their emotions to themselves, friends, and loved ones.

My ideal client struggles with anxiety, addiction or depression. Their goal is to be rehabilitated into a healthy state at a pace that is both comfortable for them as a client and I as a therapist. They want to be able to achieve their personal goals and put them in a state of restoration. `

Are you struggling with addiction or other mental health concerns? Have you experienced physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse? Working together, you can gain coping skills and tools to recover. Challenges around gender identity, self-esteem, self-image, communication, relationships, boundaries, grief, anger, stress management, family dynamics, relationships, trauma, and co-dependency are difficult to manage alone. In therapy, you can become empowered to own your narrative and build on your strengths. Reach out to me today. Support for adults and teens. I look forward to hearing your story!

The people who come to me have a wide range of emotional and communication issues. Of course, some of my clients want to strengthen their mental condition such as self-confidence, overcoming anger, overcoming negative thoughts and so on. My specialty is helping and supporting them, and I have done so for many years. I mostly use CBT, mindfulness, yoga therapy and hypnotherapy to help my clients.

I believe that everyone is unique and exploring our inner world can help us appreciate this uniqueness. Our journey and the pain that we go through in our life make each of us special. I have helped individuals, couples and families to discover their pain and realize how it impacts themselves and their relationships. The new meaning and insight that we gain from this exploration helps us accept and love our unique selves, and build deeper relationships with our loved ones.
