Online Counselling for K2H

I aim to work collaboratively with clients on various issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship counselling, substance use and addiction, 2SLGBTQ+ support, life transitions and more. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness into my interventions with clients, acknowledging that each client holds a unique and individualized life story. I value compassion, empathy, empowerment, and the development of coping skills and emotional regulation.

I have completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Ottawa. I am currently registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

I am passionate about my work in the field of Psychotherapy, and I take pride in providing compassionate, empathetic, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic relationship throughout the process. I strive to empower individuals to overcome their personal emotional barriers to improve overall mental health and move on successfully.

- -Accepting New Clients- - Starting counselling can be an intimidating process. My priority is to make this experience less overwhelming by being transparent about the process, helping you identify the challenges you're currently facing, making goals, and creating a plan for change that you are comfortable with. I have a special interest in working with perinatal clients who are trying to conceive, experiencing pregnancy and going through the major life changes of the post postpartum period. However, I am happy to help anyone going through life challenges. You do not need to be in the perinatal period to benefit from my support.

The tightness in your chest, knots in your stomach and the stories your mind tells you have been getting out of hand lately. Your efforts to control your anxiety haven’t been working the way you’d like, and you’re left feeling like you just want to run away. Fear of making mistakes, saying the wrong thing, hesitating to take on new challenges, and the discomfort of feeling out of place have become too much. Common sense methods like trying to be rational or think positively only make it worse. Anxiety is holding you back from being the person you wish to be.

As a neurodivergent practitioner, I have personal experience with the myriad of issues that can come from living on the autism spectrum. Whether it's intense emotions, spiritual/death anxiety, social anxiety, picky eating, sensory issues, or identity confusion, we can work through it together. Even if you are not living with a disorder, but still identify with one of these issues, I am happy to support you. :)

As a therapist, I help clients whose moods hijack their lives & negatively impact their relationships, career and body. If you experience overwhelming emotions that stick around too long, have imbalanced thinking, cope poorly with your emotions & stress, have unstable/unhealthy relationships, low self esteem and an unstable sense of self, I can help. As a coach, I work with women bosses who despite all their success have one area of their lives where they feel they have lost their way, lost control, and lost touch with their true selves and their inner knowing (coaching fees are $ 200/60 minute session, therapy $ 170/60 minute).

My approach to healing is one based on respect, safety and being nonjudgmental. I believe that you are the expert in your own life. I bring therapeutic context. I use an eclectic approach based on your needs including, narrative, trauma-informed, strength-based, and solution-focused therapies. I value working collaboratively to support you in getting to where you want to be.

When you are in emotional distress, an empathic, compassionate, non-judgemental presence can be invaluable in restoring your hope that life can be better. Hi, I’m Rasheeda, a passionate, trauma informed psychotherapist offering mental health support to individuals & couples. For 20+ years, I’ve helped clients navigate the sometimes murky waters of life. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships & processing trauma. My approach to therapy takes into account clients’ diverse experiences and individual identities (e.g.ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation etc.).

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed and depressed, hating your job and fighting with a partner or a family that refuses to adopt your views? Do you struggle to be the person you want to be? I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression. I also welcome immigrants of all nationalities dealing with acculturation, including family crisis, social anxiety and job related stress.

I typically work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship problems. I often hear from clients that they need time and space to freely express and explore their thoughts and feelings with someone who holds an outsider's perspective and is also understanding, nonjudgmental, authentic, and offers expertise in the issues the client is bringing to the table. I can provide this space to help sort out your thoughts in order to find the empowerment and insight within.

For over 17 years, I have been working with individuals and families, walking beside them through challenging times and helping them to make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy helping people who have experienced all sorts of life challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, separation/divorce, parenting, grief, and intimate partner violence. My work experience has provided me with a strong foundation for working with both children and adults. I help to empower my clients, building upon their already-existing strengths and helping them to heal their wounds.

My psychotherapy and counselling practice offers individuals, couples, and families (18 and up) expertise to support them as together we explore how to navigate the challenges of life. As a Registered Psychotherapist who respects individual perspectives for finding direction, growth and healing, I support those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-worth concerns, and relationship issues.

It's not easy to reach out for help, and it can be difficult to find support that fits your individual needs. I offer free phone consults to allow you a chance to see if I can be the right fit for you. I value being authentic and creating a genuine connection with my clients. It is very important to me that clients from all walks of life feel safe and heard in our sessions together. Together we will create a specialized treatment plan with goals that best suit you and your unique needs.

Welcome! Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. Over the past 14 years I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

Do you struggle with anxiety or trauma that affects your day-to-day life? Do you often feel overwhelmed just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life should feel less exhausting? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to navigate life stressors and overcome traumatic incidents. Not addressing these challenges and just pushing through them can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and a less fulfilling life. I believe that life shouldn’t be so hard and that there is hope for a happier future. I work with you to create a treatment plans to help you achieve you personal goals.

The Centre for Change offers psychological assessment, treatment (individual and group), and consultation for adults who want help with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress, and many other psychological concerns.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships or with your feelings? We all experience challenges at times and have normal periods of ups and downs. The difficulty is when we feel stuck – either in a particular mood state (such as depression or anxiety), in our reactions to triggers, or in our relationships. I approach counselling as a creative and collaborative process to tap into your innate wisdom, access your inner resources, and develop healthy coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment. I will see your strengths as well as your struggles. My goal is to guide you as you discover the path that is best for you.

I believe people can grow and live meaningful and healthier lives. Seeing them gain insight over the course of therapy and thrive is my passion. I aim to provide a safe and nonjudgmental setting for all my clients by respecting their values and challenges as unique. Over more than eight years in the field of mental health, I have worked with and been able to assist individuals, couples and families with issues such as anxiety, depression, challenges in career, and relationship conflicts.
