Psychodynamic Therapists in Uxbridge, ON

Welcome! I'm Katie :) I am compassionate, attentive, and hopeful for change as I journey with clients towards reaching their counselling goals. .I understand clients are approaching me with difficcult and personal issues. I am passionate about empowering clients to face their mental health challenges so they can realize the hope that exists for them to live a fuller life. I also recognize the need to support, equip, and educate members of the community ( family members, friends, colleagues etc.) of those living with difficult mental health trials.

Do you feel you’ve achieved a high level of success but you’re still not satisfied? Do you find yourself feeling stuck? That something is missing, but just don’t know what that is. Are you having some trouble finding your way to true happiness that you end up living on somebody’s expectations? You want to move forward but you are confined in your own world, afraid to spread your wings because of thoughts that you are not good enough. So, it’s your time to start facing your fears and be the driver of your life, too. Become the better version of yourself by connecting to the source of what holds you back!

I am a Nurse Practitioner & Psychotherapist with over 23 years of experience working in the area of Mental Health & Addictions. This extensive experience allows me to assess, diagnosis & prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. In this dual role I am able to offer my clients the convenient option of combining therapy and psychiatric care! I am passionate about empowering clients to create a life that is meaningful & with purpose by developing tools to manage their thoughts and emotions as well as explore the barriers that may be keeping them from reaching their goals.

Sometimes we are looking for change, figuring out our next step, or getting stuck and not living our lives fully. There could be moments of deep emotional pain and struggle when we feel alone and vulnerable, facing isolation, grief, loss or insecurities in important relationships. Not always we see clearly how to tackle those and we want to have someone to check with, be heard and seen, or get ideas for new directions. Learning to face inevitable life challenges, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.

I work with individuals who want to resolve their past trauma. These traumas may come from childhood or from other traumatic events that can take place in adulthood. They are seeking better self understanding and most of all healing. Many of my client's have tried various forms of talk therapy and want to try something different as they have not yet identified the root cause of their difficulties or only noticed marginal change. The unresolved trauma may be contributing to ongoing relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, or complex/post traumatic stress.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years experience in mental health. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and gain a better understanding of their situation. I create an inclusive, accepting and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable in. Working from a strengths based, trauma informed framework, I use a psychodynamic lens to explore past experiences which may be contributing to present difficulties. By linking the past to the present and working in the here and now, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of internal and interpersonal difficulties.

Hello and welcome! I'm Maya and I'm so happy you've taken the time to look at my profile. I recognize the process of finding the right therapist for you can be overwhelming. I'm here to support you in any way that I can while you navigate this process. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy which is why I'm passionate about working together to determine what is needed in our space to support you best. This looks like tailoring therapy to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. I strive always to provide a safe, collaborative and empowering space where you feel comfortable to explore your inner experiences and struggles.

I am passionate about supporting children, youth, adults, and couples, and I strive to form a unique and special therapeutic relationship with each of my clients that fosters opportunities for meaningful change through exploration, reflection, acceptance, growth, and healing. Working from a psychodynamic, attachment-theory, and person-centered lens, I remain committed in being flexible in my approach for my clients. Whether it is trauma/stress related, mood disorders, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, life-transitions or other life stressors, I recognize each client brings with them their own experiences.

One of the many things I can appreciate about our society is how people come from different walks of life - we all have a story. These stories, or worldviews, are what shape our personalities and how we perceive and overcome the various obstacles that life may throw at us. I also understand how beginning therapy can be daunting, so I provide a validating and non-judgemental environment with the goal of making clients as comfortable as possible. Helping clients explore their emotions and navigate any problems they may have, together, has always been a passion of mine.

As someone who has had first-hand experiences with mental health related struggles, I understand how difficult it can be sometimes to cope with life when it feels overwhelming. But I believe that our toughest times don't have to defeat us. With the right tools and support, we can utilize challenges to help us unlock our truest potential. Whether you're an individual looking to improve some aspect of your mental health or a couple seeking a healthier connection with each other, my goal is to provide you with the support you need to achieve your goals, create meaning and purpose in your life, and live according to your values.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.
