Therapists in Trenton, ON

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. I'm dedicated to championing transformative change for those seeking a richer quality of life. Navigating life's challenges, be it with youth or adults, CNM relationships, family dynamics, or facing grief, trauma, anxiety, or depression, demands expertise. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or grappling with personal or relational difficulties, know that you're not alone. I bring empathy, understanding every journey's uniqueness. My approach is rooted in nonjudgmental, social justice, and equity principles.

Jungian analysis is a way of working with psyche. As an explorative non- judgemental approach it is based on the concept of a balance between conscious and unconscious aspects. Analysts work with unconscious images such as dreams, or images. The unconscious communicates in image. The goal is greater synthesis, self awareness, and therefore an expansion of the personality. This is called individuation by C.G.Jung.

I work in downtown Toronto with clients who are dealing with significant life challenges including anxiety, depression, divorce, retirement, aging, and loss - of a loved one, a job, or life meaning. I am a licensed therapist registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have completed training as a Jungian Analyst and have been seeing clients for over 5 years. I have a rich background of professional and personal experiences as a teacher, counsellor, executive coach and leader.

Welcome! I'm Tammy, Registered Social worker for over twenty five years and director of Horizon Therapy. We could all benefit at different times in our lives to have a safe and spacious space to talk about concerns and receive support. Our experienced therapists specialize in working with individuals (13+), couples and families and are dedicated to supporting you in your personal growth, goals and healing journey. Drawing on a strong mix of psychodynamic, relational, mindfulness, attachment, somatic, body-based, emotion-focused, transpersonal and Jungian approaches we will work collaboratively in ways that best support you.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

What is blocking you from being present and fully experiencing joy? What patterns are you stuck repeating, and why? These are questions many of us need to explore at some point in our lives.

Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. We care about your well-being and provide you with all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances. When you can achieve a calmer state of mind and build up greater resilience you will be better equipped to deal with challenges and start enjoying life a whole lot more. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to support you every step of the way.

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

My areas of speciality include emotional disturbances, addictive behaviors, substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions and coaching, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, stress, trauma and spirituality. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families from a diverse range of cultural, ethnic, socio-economic and educational backgrounds. More specifically, my previous clinical experiences have afforded me the unique experiences of working with troubled teenagers suffering from addictive behaviors, refugees who have experienced significant trauma, couples pursuing international adoption.

As a therapist committed to helping individuals, couples, and families achieve emotional well-being and personal growth, I understand that each person's journey is unique. Using integrative psychotherapy with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamics approaches, I tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet your specific needs and goals.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

I work with people who seek a mindful and heart-centred way of resolving traumas, limiting beliefs, stuck emotions, and other blockages. If you want to gently but effectively shed inner patterns that have been holding you back, I am here to help you work on the deepest of levels. We may be a particularly good fit if you have an interest in the domains of intuition, spirituality, or connection to something beyond the self.

Clients seeking my help have difficulty coping, and feel emotionally overloaded; but they are also ready for a change. Their distress can create anxiety and depression that results in negative thoughts, which influence your behavior and emotions. Avoiding unpleasant emotions can cause harm and inappropriate reactive behaviors. Emotional and psychological support for issues involving depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship issues, self-improvement, are some of the stressors I work with. Through counselling we can focus on your needs and set goals that will ultimately give you tools to cope with life on life's terms.

I use a combination of evidence-based and holistic approaches. Through providing in-person and online therapy - I help people to recognize and let go of negative patterns, and create empowering beliefs and habits. Providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable to explore your challenges, and gain the insight and confidence to take control of your life. With my guidance, you could gain the clarity and focus to create meaningful and lasting change.

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating and holding a therapeutic space or "container", enabling my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to resolution. An inner space opens for something new. It is a tremendous honour and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.
