Are you having difficulty managing the demands of daily life? A new baby, a demanding career, a difficult relationship, a major transition, or past trauma? Would you like to develop different ways of understanding and coping with these challenges? I often work with individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety/depression, post-partum difficulties, relationship challenges, and complex mental health concerns such as psychosis and bipolar disorder. Whether you are looking for a therapist to help process your distress, introduce new skills, or simply listen, my goal is to support you in accomplishing yours.

People come to counselling/psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes they are struggling with distressing emotions that get in the way of their productivity, daily functioning and peace of mind. Other times, they want to have better experiences in their relationships with family, friends, a loved-one or co-workers. In some cases they are going through periods of change and struggle to find balance and comfort in the midst of uncertainty. If you are at an impasse in your life... if you simply cannot go on with things being the way they are... you are in the perfect place for change to happen!!

Naomi S Goldenberg Coaching
HBA, ICF
Life can be challenging to navigate- whether it is making important decisions or resisting the same old and comfortable. It is important to have someone who is on your side and can hold you in a space of possibility and growth. We all have unique lives and perspectives- most of the time, the answer can be found within. I support individuals on their path of growth and healing. It is important to me that people find the support they need so they can shine in the world and in their lives. I work on a sliding scale, as I know finances can be an area of difficulty. What’s most important to me is facilitating a genuine connection.

Nothing ever really prepares us as parents for the times when things don't go as we had hoped for with our child - particularly in regard to developmental, behavioural, or mental health issues that we are faced with. I'm here to help shoulder some of the weight you've been carrying, and provide a bridge for you in helping your child to reach their full potential. Everything can be broken down into small and manageable steps, and even small shifts can produce significant change and offer much needed relief. Please note that I am currently focusing on children who are 0 to 5 years of age, as well as working through my waitlist.

Whether you feel stuck in a loop or trying to adjust to changing life circumstances, if you are feeling debilitated by fear, apathy, frustration, anger or isolation; therapy can help. Exploring your emotions, thinking patterns and automated behaviours within the framework of your own life story is often considered a liberating journey. A journey that can be creative and playful as much as it is informative and containing.
