Therapists Beginning With I in Ontario

I am deeply proud of the relationships that I build with my clients based on providing encouragement, support and the exploration and promotion of one’s inner strength and assets. My practice specializes in developing and maintaining a safe and supportive environment to facilitate affirmation and to guide clients in creating the change they desire and, ultimately, the achievement of their goals and well-being.

My approach is founded on authenticity, trust, warmth, openness, and non-judgement. In revealing my genuine self, I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported to be true to who you are. I offer a free consultation and work with individuals, couples, children, and families. In my work, I seek to understand the interconnected systemic complexities of what makes you who you are. I am attentive to cultural, political, social, and relational aspects of clients lives and take a non-directive stance as I believe you are the expert of your life, and you possess the inner resources required in times of hardship.

I am Celeste, a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am driven by a genuine desire to help my clients navigate life's complexities through a lens of nonjudgmental understanding, always considering their cultural uniqueness. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is something I value, as it lays the groundwork for progress and triumph in the therapeutic journey.

I have spent the previous three years working in the community-based child and youth mental health sector. I support young people and their families navigate challenges related to emotions, behaviour and family conflict. I have experience working with queer, Trans and neurodiverse folks and families. I offer therapy for children and teen individually (ages 6 to18), family therapy and parent coaching. I primarily operate using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy.

I have worked as a clinician for over 25 years. I have considerable experience with family, couples and individual therapy. Working with addictions, mental health, trauma, and youth related issues are strong areas of interest. As a clinical traumatologist and an Advanced Clinical Supervisor, I have specific interest and extensive training in trauma. A significant component of my private practice is couples and family therapy. Couples therapy is an opportunity to help couples that are simply stuck move towards resolution and rediscover a meaningful relationship. There are times where resolution may not be the goal for both parties. Mediation services are also available.

“How are you?” is a question many of us get asked several times a day, yet, the person asking is usually not interested in the honest answer to the question. I am. As a certified clinical trauma specialist, I am able to use a trauma-informed lens that highlights one’s strengths and resilience and allows for them to explore their experiences in a safe environment. Additionally, I use an informed approach when working with adults in areas regarding sex, sexual identity, sexual education, and general sexual therapy. I aim to create a safe space, one of compassion, empathy, and care, using a person-centered, integrative approach.

Welcome to a transformative journey towards emotional well-being. I'm a highly skilled psychotherapist dedicated to helping both teenagers and adult women connect with their inner child to heal past wounds and address the root causes of their anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to empower you to discover your inner strength, resilience, and happiness. With a focus on evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to your well-being, I have helped countless individuals regain control of their lives. It is ok to not be ok and starting this journey with me may be that first step to feeling better.

Do you struggle with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, low self-esteem, or negative ruminating thoughts? Are you going through a life transition or experiencing interpersonal difficulties? Many people feel overwhelmed with these challenges and it takes strength and courage to reach out for help. There is hope and I believe in the human potential for growth and flourishing. With the right support in place, you can live a fulfilling and healthy life.

Although it may feel that way right now, you are not alone! Just know that there are ways to improve your mental health, put a stop to those negative thoughts, and take back the control you have lost over your own mental well-being. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or lost, know that with guidance and someone to lean on you can restore balance in your life. My goal is to help you obtain tools to manage different challenges that may come your way.

Navigating family life, sport, and academics plunged me into challenges that felt debilitating at the time. These experiences and the people I met along the way made me fall in love with our shared capacity for growth. Humans (even when we’re not aware of it!) have immense resilience. It is my goal to help you tap into yours and levy your unique strengths to cope with whichever challenge you currently face. Please note, I have lived experience with generalized anxiety, depression, Binge Eating Disorder, and exercise bulimia.

I identify as a migrant of colour psychotherapist, practicing an Intersectional, Integrative, just approach to therapy that invites, and affirms the many dimensions that one holds, and bring to the therapeutic container as an individual (body, mind, and spirit), as part of a collective (community, family, chosen family, etc.) and as part of/ impacted by many systems of power (social location, privilege, disadvantage, etc.). I support with: feeling stuck, shame, repeated patterns, bullying, exploring gender, and sexual identity, relationships, boundaries, communication, parenting, affirming one's child gender/sexuality, and more.

I am committed to creating a warm and nonjudgmental space where you can embark on your journey of healing and self-discovery. I specialize in working with various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. I firmly believe that each person's experience is unique, so I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals. I'm committed to providing an empathetic, collaborative, and safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior. I strive to create a trusting environment where clients feel heard, validated, and understood.

Are you tired of battling your inner critic day in and day out? You're not alone. Many adults find themselves caught in this agonizing struggle, especially when they've avoided confronting their inner critics in the past. The sad truth is, without learning to tackle this inner voice, they continue to be beaten down by it, leading to a state of lethargy that makes every battle even harder. But what if you didn't have to fight against yourself so intensely? What if you could become your own best friend instead?

I work with individuals, families, and couples particulary from immigrant, racialized, and LGBTQ+ communities. Currently, I'm available both in-person & virtualy in Ontario and virtualy in BC. I believe that challenges and struggles people face are intricately tied to systemic and societal factors. Through collaborative and therapeutic work, my goal is to aid persons in cultivating a healthier and more fulfilling self-perception, interpersonal relationships and life experiences, alongside fostering transformative healing from trauma.

Welcome! It is a privilege to support my clients. I am intentional in creating an atmosphere of safety and hope during consultations by bringing kindness to the therapy space, and a desire for developing an authentic connection. I can support you overcome issues with depression, anxiety and chronic worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, family conflict, relationship issues, lack of assertiveness and boundary difficulties, anger issues, low confidence and self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, adjustment to illness and injury, life changes, workplace difficulties, and discrimination.

I am a registered Clinical and School Psychologist and the Clinical Director of the New Path Psychology Centre. I have extensive experience in working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families who are experiencing learning, communication/social, emotional, behavioural, and anxiety/depression needs. Through comprehensive assessments I determine each individual's strengths and needs and use a variety of evidence-based treatments to support skill development. With a multi-disciplinary team of Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists we can facilitate growth in many developmental areas.

Currently accepting new clients! Are you looking to feel better about yourself, your relationships, and your life? It can be difficult to know where to start, especially if this is your first time seeking therapy. Perhaps before today you tried to figure it all out on your own, but anxiety, worry, and low self-esteem have kept you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Please know that you are not alone, and that things can get better.

Do you find it difficult to find purpose in your daily endeavours? Do you wake up each day realizing you’re just doing things based on routine without any sort of deep connection, meaning or passion? Kunle is here to support you with feelings of meaninglessness and help you navigate this experience in order to attain a deep sense of meaning and direction in your life. Kunle is also here to support you with issues around self-esteem, finding meaning, anxiety, depression, and cross-cultural difficulties.

Your childhood pain does not need to define who you are - today. Hello Community! Welcome to Ignite Counselling Services, we provide therapeutic support to members of the Black community. This is because we understand that within our community, many of us have experienced mistrust and betrayal when asking for help. This is why we tend to shy away from seeking support due to the fear of vulnerability and being judged. When you mask your feelings, you suppress your emotions which causes you to struggle and manage your stress and emotional pain in silence.
