Online Counselling for Whitby

Hello and welcome! I am a registered clinical psychologist who works with adult clients (18+ years) facing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviour, and eating disorders. I have training in a number of evidence-based treatments including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I also focus on women's reproductive health and offer therapy related to infertility, donor conception, pregnancy loss, and postpartum adjustment.

I am a firm believer that there is no one right or true way to engage in therapy. Everyone comes with a set of their own unique life experiences, which requires an individualized take on achieving personal goals and overcoming barriers. My approach is based in evidence and strength based practice, while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. We will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self through methods such as CBT, EFT, Attachment & Trauma Approaches.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, where you as the client are the expert of you and your story, and as we work together to build trust and a relationship, I can lend my clinical skills to aid in achieving your therapeutic goals. My approach is grounded in the style of therapy called Internal Family Systems, where I strive to be collaborative and empathetic in order to elicit behavioral change.

Please note I am only taking new clients online at this time. What can you expect from me? Someone who is easy to open up to, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Time to talk about the things that are hardest to discuss and make important decisions. Someone with fifteen years of professional experience working anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as everything from shame and grief, anger and fear, to contentment and joy. Time to order your thoughts, take a breath, and find balance.

I work collaboratively with people willing to engage in self-reflection who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem issues and interpersonal conflicts. From a stance of empathy and acceptance, I invite clients to practice self-compassion and aim to empower them to become their own agents of change and live more meaningful lives.

Are you ready to explore past patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and enhance your resilience? As a trauma-informed specialist in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and couples therapy, I am dedicated to providing tailored support to help you thrive.

Managing difficult feelings alone can be overwhelming. Do you feel stuck and hope for things to be better? Do you feel exhausted, frustrated, or guilty by trying to live up to your ideal self or other people’s expectations? Whether it is overcoming anxious thoughts, a difficult relationship, moving past your traumas, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I take a holistic approach and offer several modalities to help you on your path to healing. I will walk alongside you on your journey, while providing a safe and non-judgmental space. Connection is the foundation of our work together.

Life is a complex journey, filled with its own set of challenges, yet it also holds the promise of hope. Whether you find yourself grappling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship or marital issues, parenting struggles, stress, or the daunting task of breaking negative patterns, know that you do not walk this path alone. I offer you a safe haven, a sanctuary where you can freely explore your challenges without judgment. Together, we will craft a personalized treatment plan that harnesses your unique strengths and addresses your individual needs.

Are you or your teen feeling overwhelmed, nervous, afraid, angry or unsettled? Feeling like the black sheep? Battling with anxiety and focusing, or finding it difficult to get along with people? Are you self medicating and struggling to figure out your direction in life? Do you need to break free from the past traumas and labels you might have been given? Need help exploring sexual orientation and gender identity? Contact me to get the help that you or your teen need. We will work on building a true sense of self and identifying and practicing the coping skills that help you build an authentic life that is calmer and more centered.

You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward? You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you. Imagine waking up every day feeling in control of whatever might come your way; knowing that you have the internal strength to deal with and manage it. Imagine being the best version of YOU.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage, so we appreciate you being here.  Life can be very difficult and suffering is a part of our human experience, but you don't have to go through it alone. We are neuro-biologically designed for connection. We need it to survive. Our intention as therapists at Seasons is to provide you with a safe space, grounded in acceptance, compassion, and connection, to share your story. Together we will travel through it with curiosity and non-judgement to find the awareness that you need to build a better relationship with yourself. We are trauma-informed and respectful of your uniqueness.

Hello & Welcome! I'm Charlotte and I'm glad you're here. I offer support to children (10+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing issues relating to anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship related problems, self-esteem, and autism. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology, a Postgraduate degree in Mental Health and Addictions, and an Undergraduate Honours Degree in Forensic Psychology.

I offer services to teens, adults, and couples seeking support for anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, relational challenges, and more. I practice from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, which means our sessions are centered around you. I offer an informal style to therapy because lets be real, formal can be intimidating. Together we will create an environment where you feel comfort in having those uncomfortable conversations. Our sessions will offer you a space to tell your story and for it to be heard.

Have you had life experiences that felt too much, too fast, too soon, for too long, or not long enough? If so, this might mean you have endured trauma - leaving you with a longing for someone who understands. No one can define your trauma for you - you are the expert on how your story has felt for you so far. If you are looking for a therapist who will listen, educate, affirm, and support you - then you have come to the right page. As an EMDR consultant in training, I am also offering 1:1 consultant sessions to those looking to be certified in EMDR.

You feel crushed by the pressure to get everything perfect. The expectation that you be everything and do everything for everyone leaves you feeling breathless. On top of the feeling of dread that comes from the day to day, you struggle with the way your body looks. You've lived through generations of dieting and grew up with the pursuit of the thin ideal. If only you could find some freedom from this. Anytime you're home to visit family, you feel like you're walking on eggshells. You wish you could speak up for yourself.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples who are struggling while facing life's challenges. My desire is to be a catalyst to help you move toward healing. I consider it a privilege to provide a supportive, caring, warm and confidential environment.

30 years of experience working with children ages 5-25 years. I am honest, calm, fair, and a nonjudgmental therapist able to create real and meaningful relationships with children, youth, and their parents. I am a caring, fair, and a results-oriented type of person. I enjoy building a relationship that is honest, fair, empathetic, and positive for my clients because I firmly believe that it is through a supportive and non-judgmental relationship that the healing begins and therapeutic results are delivered. My goal is to help the child heal and learn how to cope with their thoughts and emotions
