Therapists in Wasaga Beach, ON

Have you been feeling stuck and unable to change how you feel or act? Most likely you have been effected by experiences from your past. Consciously you may understand the value of changing a behaviour, but unless your deeper mind is transformed, change is not likely. Attempting to bring about enduring change without eliminating these "ghosts from the past" is like trying to repair the structure of a building by applying a coat of paint. Using a gentle, painless, and fun approach to therapy, I create immediate and lasting change through brain-changing conversations, teaching you how to stress-proof and play your brain for change.

Need an experienced caring professional to support you through life's challenges? My name is Brittany and I want to work with you in achieving your goal to make life better. I work with diverse clients including children, teens and adults specializing in mental health, family and relationship challenges and coping through life transitions. Therapy sessions are collaborative, focused on working together to create helpful and practical coping strategies. My goal is to work with you to build on your current strengths and resilience to make life better.

In-Person and Virtual Sessions! As a Registered Master of Social Worker, I believe through our journey of life we all need positive support and guidance along our path. I specialize in helping clients with Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, ADHD and in-depth Trauma work. Also, I have experience with Couples Counselling, working with Addictions, Special Needs, and Grief. My approach integrates evidence-based methods such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) that help clients distinguishes between thoughts and emotions and the connection with behaviours.

Being in a smaller community it's important that I run from a general practice standpoint. This means I will work with you to the best of my abilities. I will work with you on your current issues and help you with additional resources. If your looking to get started or have experienced previous counselling from others, I invite you to work with me to see what benefit counselling can be to you.

A warm welcome! I believe in change, I believe in possibility and I believe in potential. Therapy is growth. It's taking you from where you are right now and guiding you gently to where you want to be through education, empowerment, experience, personal commitment and practice. At Touchstone Healing your feelings, emotions, beliefs and pain stories are explored in a safe, relaxed environment dedicated to honor and validate your experience. We then work together with the goal of moving into acceptance and release to create space for a more positive and meaningful experience of life.

Over the last 20 years, I have worked with individuals and families, of all ages, in a variety of different settings. This has ranged from counselling in a family physician's office to front-line child protection and now, I am returning to private psychotherapy practice. The people I work with have often felt uncomfortable or uncertain about seeking help. They tend to have a sense of how they would like life to be different, but are at times, unsure of how to move forward and start the process of change.

Hi! Asking for help can be scary, I work to create a safe, warm and empathic environment where people feel they can be truly heard. Making meaningful connections in a safe space is what I am all about. I use my experience, theoretical background and sense of humor to meet people and empower them to keep going in a growth oriented direction. I encourage exploration of the self and the meaning people draw/create within themselves and their experiences.

Making meaning of our lives can become difficult when problems arise that we least expected. What if we have never experienced these things and coping isn't going so well, what do we do? What if the old familiar things keep happening? Sometimes our usual ways of staying focused and present are interrupted, even if we have managed before. I have been part of many healing journeys and one thing is the same in all of us: we must move through the difficulties with support in order to get back to our present. I am here to help you do just that.

Are your emotions overwhelming? Maybe you cannot feel anything at all, which makes it difficult to connect with others or be the type of person you want to be. Do you find yourself repeatedly responding to situations in unhelpful ways? Are your emotions, thoughts, memories, or symptoms interfering with the life you want to live? We will work together to kick your symptoms or internal experiences (e.g., memories, emotions) out of the driver’s seat so you can take back control and build a meaningful life.

The unexpected has happened and you are not sure where to turn next, who to talk to and how to best support your child. Traumatic events or personal losses can interrupt our sense of safety and direction. I’ve been lucky enough to play and work with children and youth walking this path who are trying to make sense and make meaning of what has happened. I have a Masters degree in Social Work, and I am a registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW. I’ve been in practice for 25 years and have trained in various approaches including attachment based, EMDR, TFCBT, Mindfulness, Yoga Therapy, MST, and various play and energetic modalities.

Do you think you have adult is ADHD? If you have trouble completing tasks, are disorganized, and have a busy mind you are showing signs of attentional difficulties.

We all want a better life and we are all doing the best we can with what we have. But sometimes we can get stuck in routines, unsure of how to make the change we so desperately want to see in our lives. Sometimes even asking ourselves "what do I want?" can be anxiety provoking and make us feel like we're stuck when we can't answer it. Times like this we can even find ourselves appealing to others' needs and "living for others" all the while feeling like something is missing. Everything we do has some benefit to us, otherwise we wouldn't do it. Getting to the heart of this underlying want can be the empowering change we need.

I work with trauma survivors, adolescents and their parents, couples, individual adults and new parents. It is in relationship that we are formed, and it is also in relationship that we can heal and grow. My job is to provide a safe, professional, healing relationship. It is my goal to look beyond symptoms and pathology to help you make contact with your authentic self. I also view my role as a bridge, helping couples and families discover and create a sense of safety and security so that each person in the relationship can thrive.

There are times in our life when it feels like nothing we do makes a difference. Problems become complicated by issues associated with our struggles managing mood or anxiety, feelings of shame, or coping with grief and loss. Situations such as transitions related to life stages, conflict or loss of connection in significant relationships, or changes in mental well being can be distressing and overwhelming. I work hard to build collaborative alliances with clients to co-construct different narratives about our relationship with problems, and develop alternative personal stories of strength, growth and recovery.
