Therapists in York, ON

By understanding what lies deep within us, what motivates our behaviour, we come to know how to live more wisely and authentically. By giving ourselves the same kindness we give others and in listening to our embodied wisdom we discover fresh new possibilities.Therapy helps to manage anxiety, deal with emotions such as regret and shame, and dispel fear and worry. Without the veil of negativity and self-doubt we can make choices that lead to a more empowered future. If you find yourself feeling stuck, unhappy, confused or overwhelmed, entering into a psychotherapeutic relationship can help.

Life can bring with it successes and challenges; regardless of how we define it. Success allows for celebration while challenge allows for growth and opportunity to heal. We can experience a range of emotions including sadness, hurt, guilt, self-doubt, helplessness, hopelessness, anger, despair, anxiety, loneliness, and grief; which ultimately leave an impact on our well-being. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. YOU are enough and together we can heal. Therapy is exercise for our emotional well-being that kickstarts our journey of self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, positive relations, and happiness.

We all deserve unwavering support and empathy throughout our life's journey. Facing life's challenges, be it transitions, emotional lows, stressors, or grief, is part of our shared human experience. My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and sincere curiosity. I create a nurturing space for individuals to freely share their unique narratives, fostering a secure environment where thoughts and emotions can be openly expressed.

Life can be challenging, whether we are young or old, alone or in relationship with others. With over 30 years of experience working with children, youth, adults and families in a variety of settings, I have learned that we can face and overcome many of life's challenges by recognizing our strengths, understanding our fears, enhancing our relationships and learning new skills and knowledge to manage the struggles we are facing. Therapy can be a daunting first step and yet a part of what may be a transformative journey.

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.

With 15 years of experience as the head counsellor at The Michener Institute, I offer professional support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family challenges. My use of both Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives me a wide range of options for support for both individual and couples. Gestalt focuses on the 'here and now,' our body experiences and childhood patterns and helps us be present in our relationships. CBT has been rigorously tested in over 1000 studies, and is a therapy that supports depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), panic and anxiety, phobias and stress.

In my private practice as an expressive arts therapist I use the arts along with conversation and reflection, to help clients get ‘unstuck,’ uncover resources for change and growth, live with suffering when necessary and celebrate the joy of life as we humans always have -- by making meaning through making art. Increasingly, I also draw on Internal Family Systems (working with our "parts") to support and inform a safe and effective healing environment. I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, creative blocks, eating disorders, physical illness, grief, trauma and sexual abuse.

Are you struggling with feeling sad, anxious, angry, ashamed, lonely, or confused? Are you struggling within yourself or in your relationship? Psychotherapy can really help. It helps enormously to have a safe person to be able to feel, express, digest and understand your experience with, including how it was shaped by your early relationships in life. Our early development powerfully shapes how we feel about ourselves and what we expect in our lives and in our relationships. More freedom, connection, and joy is possible. I work with adults, specializing in relationships, attachment, self-esteem, parenting, and trauma recovery.

Hi there! I'm Kayla. I'm a psychotherapist who helps folks transform trauma and deepen experiences of presence and connection. My practice uses an experiential approach drawn from somatic, expressive arts, and relational psychotherapies. I am passionate about this work because I believe fully in our embodied potential for reshaping trauma through creative connection. Within my own life, and throughout my career I have witnessed how attending to our bodies through the arts can open up space for co-creating safe-enough and vibrant relationships.

I can assist you to accept yourself for what you are and focus on your strengths. As clients are the best navigators of their own lives, I assist my clients to take best decisions of their lives.I am hoping that we will work together as a team. You have knowledge and expertise about your own life and I have knowledge and expertise about the therapeutic process. I expect you to be actively involved in the process as you work towards your goal

I am a registered psychotherapist and a certified expressive arts therapist. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 15 years and am interested in promoting self healing, relationships, growth and change. I have trained extensively in expressive arts, gestalt and developmental somatic psychotherapy and have pursued professional training in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT), trauma informed therapy, narrative therapy and child and play therapy. I create a safe and interactive therapeutic atmosphere, and work from a resource oriented, somatic awareness based perspective, focussing on both short and long term needs.

Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.
