Trauma Focused Therapists in Windsor, ON

I have over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. Over the years I have worked with individuals and families from all different ages, diverse backgrounds, and all walks of life. I have worked with clients in the hospital, school, community and private settings, and have been a clinical instructor for the University of Toronto. Currently I am accepting new adolescent and adult clients. My style is caring, laid back, encouraging, strength-based and compassionate. I believe the best therapy is client-focused, and regardless of modality, a safe and trusting client-therapist relationship is absolutely fundamental.

Are you, or a family member struggling with an addiction and/or mental health challenge? Have you experienced a traumatic event that has created a significant challenge in your life? Are you a front line worker and feeling the impact of prolonged stress? My hope is that I can provide tools, support, and resources to help understand the pathway to care. I understand the struggles of life can be overwhelming. I believe that the support that I offer you will help you on the road to resilience, self empowerment, recovery, and healing.

Burnt-out perfectionists who lack a sense of self after chronically living in survival mode are my specialty. Are you a high-achieving eldest sibling living with an inauthentic value system as a result of internalized unrealistic expectations? I am highly aware of the nuances attached to these experiences and have been working with clients to stabilize, process, and heal from acute and chronic exposure to trauma as a result of family culture & generational emotional immaturity ( basically coming from families that don't acknowledge feelings).

Hi, my name is Jill and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I am passionate about helping teenagers and adults through issues such as ADHD, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationships/communication, trauma, mood disorders, or any struggle they may experience. Through identifying the underlying causes of the issues being faced, clients can realize their strengths and adjust their approach to situations and relationships. The first step to change and healing is finding the right fit for someone to talk to, and I would love to help you through your journey.

At present, we exclusively offer online counseling services, delivered by a skilled team of counselors with a variety of backgrounds, adept at addressing nearly all mental health concerns. Our foremost objective is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, encompassing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through top-tier counseling services. We serve individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach to each distinct client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we commit to either finding a suitable substitute.

We all need a place to feel listened to, respected, and valued. I will work collaboratively with you to identify a personalized counselling approach that is comfortable and effective for your unique needs. I have experience supporting people through a range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, codependency, addiction, anger/conflict resolution, pain management, grief, and more.

There is hope. I work with couples and individuals in order to help people along their path to healthier, happier lives. I utilize cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy and mindfulness in a colloborative manner. I believe that people are there own experts and the therapist is a guide. I offer in person, web cam, phone and email counseling.

Life is about Connections…to people, to places, to memories and things. But the nature of life is that we will experience problems and challenges at some point in life. Sometimes those challenges occur suddenly or at a time when you already feel stretched too thin. Or maybe you’ve lost that feeling of connection with yourself and others in your life. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is an important decision in searching for the help and support that is right for you. I offer an empathic, compassionate, and confidential place to share some of life's challenges that are interfering with your quality of life.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life stresses that are interfering with your quality of life? If so I want you to know you are not alone! Life can lead you down many pathways, some are clear, while others have challenges blocking your way. It is during these times that you might need support and/or new tools to empower you while you navigate through these difficult times. It would be an honour to help you understand your emotions, thoughts and actions while guiding you into finding the right tools and pathways needed on your journey towards achieving goals, a more peaceful lifestyle, or meaningful relationships.

In my private Art Therapy practice, I specialize in working with children ages 9+, adolescents and adults.  My clinical work is supported by a client-centered, strength-based and trauma-informed approach to counselling. Having taught yoga for over 10 years, allows me to integrate these practices into my therapeutic work as a way to support individuals by bringing awareness to their mind-body connection, and to help them build healthy and effective coping skills. I have additional trainings as a Trauma Integration Clinician, Advanced Trauma-Informed Practices and Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies.

There are certain points in life when circumstances become too challenging to manage and work through alone. Sometimes we lose our direction and feel so overwhelmed or lost to find our way back to a place of joy or inner peace. Seeking therapy can support individuals, children and families overcome the challenges they are experiencing and find that balance we all need.

Therapy is an opportunity to learn more about mental health, to learn more yourself, and to apply that knowledge to make self-directed changes. It can also be a great place to just be heard or validated, and to help you organize your thoughts and ideas in response to stressful situations. Whether you or a family member are living with a serious mental health challenge such as anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, PTSD etc., or just experiencing a hard time adjusting to life's challenges - I've built years of experience working with clients overcome similar challenges in a variety of professional environments.

I am a firm believer that shame disappears and healing occurs when our stories are told in safe spaces. Therapy can be a safe and compassionate space where we can get curious about places where you may be feeling stuck and overwhelmed in your life. In this collaborative process you can begin to gain more clarity and understand your own unique experiences. You will learn practical skills, tools, and healthy communication strategies to have the courage for navigating life's challenges feeling more resilient and empowered. Above all, you will feel seen, heard, understood, and valued.
