Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Vaughan, ON
At Life in Harmony Counselling Services private practice, we help our clients discover their voice, wisdom, and strength by utilizing a range of advanced techniques such as Mindfulness, CBT, Guided Imagery, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, DBT, and Trauma Techniques.
Our therapists often hear from clients who say, "I'm aware of what I need to do, but I struggle to take action." This sentiment may resonate with you. It's normal to feel unsure and anxious during times of crisis, family conflict, relationship issues, or any significant life changes. However, if these emotions hinder your progress, ignoring them won't make them go away. It's crucial to acknowledge your fears, pinpoint their origins, and take proactive steps to overcome them for your well-being.

I work with young adults and teens with ADHD, whether they're diagnosed, waiting on an assessment, or just starting to wonder. Most arrive tired. They've been told to focus, try harder, get organized, usually by people who meant well, and they've concluded the problem must be them.
What's actually going on is harder. Tasks that won't start, time that won't hold still, emotions that arrive at full volume, and years of self-criticism built on top. We start by mapping how ADHD actually shows up in your life, then work on both the practical systems and the emotions underneath.

Sometimes, it feels like the weight of past experiences or current struggles can prevent us from moving forward, but therapy offers a path to understanding and healing. You might find yourself caught in a loop of familiar struggles, unable to break free or see a way out. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship issues, past trauma still lingering, or stress and difficulty regulating emotions, together, we can work toward breaking those patterns and creating a future where you feel empowered and at peace.

My ideal clients are people who appear to be functioning well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally strained on the inside. They may struggle with anxiety, anger, intrusive thoughts, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. Often thoughtful and self-aware, they want more than quick coping strategies. They are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves, develop emotional flexibility, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

My approach to therapy is Attachment and Interpersonal Neuroscience Based. Adult Attachment Theory (rooted in Attachment science) will uncover the ways our early attachment experiences in childhood, impact our relationships in adulthood. Interpersonal Neuroscience (rooted in Polyvagal Theory) focuses on the role of our nervous system, and why we respond to/interpret “threat” the way we do.

You’re tired of having the same argument over and over, or exhausted by anxiety and OCD that won’t let your mind rest. You care deeply about your partner, but conversations escalate quickly or leave you both feeling misunderstood. If you’re in a neurodivergent relationship, ADHD or autism may add another layer of confusion and hurt. You don’t want to keep living in this cycle. You want clarity, steadiness, and tools that actually help — and to feel understood rather than blamed.
