Online Counselling for Whitby

Are you coming to therapy with questions about your identity, trauma, taking up space, doubt, or how to navigate change or difficult relationship dynamics? Do you feel like you might be the only person who has ever felt this way? Or like anxiety has been keeping you from accessing the support you deserve? As a queer person who has benefited greatly from my own therapy, I know how important it is to have a nonjudgmental space where I can show up as my whole and authentic self and have my grief, loss, and doubts witnessed and validated. I would be honoured to create that space with you.

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.

Have you ever experienced periods in your life where you are so troubled by stress, anxiety relationship difficulties, and/or depressed mood but is uncertain who to turn to talk about the issues in fear that you'll be misunderstood or that others simply just won't get what you're going through? If so, I would be happy to work with you to explore the issues troubling you. As a BIPOC Psychotherapist, I have worked with a number of individuals ranging from ages 7 - 65+ from various ethnic backgrounds to help them work through a variety of issues. I have experience working with those in the LGBTQ community and marginalized groups.

While it can be a difficult process to admit when we need help, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes things come up for us in life, both from our past as well as our present, that may demand us to seek out help, and that’s okay. I typically work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, sexual issues, and relationship issues. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, and I am passionate about advocating for and supporting marginalized groups.

Hello There, If you or a family member is a First Responder, Veteran or Frontline Medical worker, I may be the therapist for you! I primarily work with First Responders, Veterans and Front Line Medical workers who have experienced repeated traumatic exposures through their work. Flashbacks, nightmares, anger outbursts, dissociation, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression are symptoms that you don't have to live with! And those interpersonal relationships (at work, home and socially) can be improved.

I aspire to offer an empathetic, warm, and non-judgmental presence where you can feel safe to share your story. I am passionate about cultivating authentic therapeutic connections and genuine support so that you can grow, flourish, and achieve wellness in your life. Whether your goal is to overcome depression or anxiety, explore gender and sexuality, improve your relationships, navigate difficult life transitions, find purpose and meaning in life, learn coping skills, or explore thoughts and emotions, I would love to help you discover your innate strengths and passions and offer you tools that will help you achieve your goals.

Currently offering remote sessions (video). Accepting new clients. I am a Clinical Supervisor. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

My experience, education and trauma informed approach to my practice allows me to effectively navigate through the initial stages of crisis. As a registered social worker, I provide integrated support and client tailored intervention to children (9+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have provided psychotherapy services to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, ED's, PTSD, self-esteem and physical disability as a result of a motor vehicle accident. As well, I have years of experience providing psychosocial assessment and supportive counselling to youth through child focused mentorship services.

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.

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.

I know how intimidating it can be to reach out for help and take this first step. I am grateful that I get to accompany my clients during this journey. I work from a biopsychosocial framework. I know that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy and I aim to customize my approach according to each client and their individual needs. I have a lot of passion and experience working with individuals who are struggling with both substance and process addictions through my many years of working directly with these individuals in withdrawal management centres, inpatient treatment centres and sober living homes across Ontario.

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.

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.

I'm Danielle- a registered social worker with a passion for building genuine, meaningful relationships with my clients. I provide psychotherapy to youth and young adults navigating a broad range of challenges related to their mental health. Specifically, I have a passion for working with individuals who have experienced relational and childhood traumas that manifest as depressive and anxious symptoms, especially in regards to maintaining healthy relationships.

Are you struggling with addiction or other mental health concerns? Have you experienced physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse? Working together, you can gain coping skills and tools to recover. Challenges around gender identity, self-esteem, self-image, communication, relationships, boundaries, grief, anger, stress management, family dynamics, relationships, trauma, and co-dependency are difficult to manage alone. In therapy, you can become empowered to own your narrative and build on your strengths. Reach out to me today. Support for adults and teens. I look forward to hearing your story!

I offer services to teens, adults, and couples seeking support for anxiety, OCD, trauma, 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.

As your therapist, I will guide you through your own journey with your mental health. I hope to improve your quality of life, better your relationship with yourself, and be there for you when you need me. I focus on managing stress, reducing symptoms of anxiety, regulating your nervous system, increasing your self-awareness, processing trauma and emotional pain, and working through shame and self-criticism. I tailor each session to your goals and needs and even make custom handouts to better support & guide you. If these are not your goals for therapy and you simply just want to talk I'm here for that too!
