Rational Emotive Behaviour (REBT) Therapists in Brighton, ON

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Are you struggling with people-pleasing, relationships, low mood, or depression? Together, we can address your stuck points using evidence-based methods. I embody Hygge & Co. by supporting you in embracing your vulnerabilities and appreciating your willingness to grow. Healing trauma, self-esteem, and tackling stress, and holding space for you to process. I am also trained in treating trauma and in the Gottman method.

You may be considering reaching out for help after trying to deal with things on your own, but this can be very difficult. My approach is person-centered in dealing with issues as I walk alongside you in your journey to recovery. Every person’s journey is unique, and therefore therapy for your recovery and goals is tailored to reflect your needs and desired outcomes. In my experience, an array of treatment modalities and therapeutic approaches can be effective, including using harm reduction strategies, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, stages of change, cognitive behavioural therapy, and coping skills development.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples who are struggling while facing life's challenges. My desire is to be a catalyst to help you move toward healing. I consider it a privilege to provide a supportive, caring, warm and confidential environment.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I'm typically relaxed and conversational and love having conversations that get to the heart of the matter. You could say I specialize in getting people "unstuck" from their current way of thinking about and dealing with issues, through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills and strategies. I love asking thoughtful questions and re-framing your situation so you can approach it in ways you haven't considered before. We then create a practical plan that gets to the root of issues and ensures you have what you need to succeed.

I have experience working with individuals experiencing mental health issues and those living with mental illnesses such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety as well as those living with a dual diagnosis. My hope is to work with individuals in creating a sense of stability in areas that may find overwhelming and isolating.

My goal is to help clients challenge limiting beliefs and work towards their ideal selves. I currently offer One-on-One weight loss therapy/coaching and alternatively my Why Weight? Program is available as a self-guided course with weekly modules. My coaching approach is based on a Cognitive behavioral model and uses my background in hypnosis, mindfulness/meditation, parts work, goal setting and habit development to guiding you to create the life that you deserve.

The beliefs we hold about ourselves and those around us can make life and relationships challenging. They become the lens through which we see everything & everyone, creating unrealistic expectations that leave us feeling sad, disappointed, & unworthy. Using evidence-based practices, therapy challenges those unhelpful thoughts and deep-rooted beliefs, creating space for acceptance and self-compassion. If you are challenged by anxious and depressive thoughts, a negative self-image or even grief, take a step towards therapy and invest in your mental wellness. Currently accepting Clients with daytime availability only. Thank you

My name is Brendan and I am a Registered Social Worker. I hold a Masters degree is Social Work from the University of Toronto. I provide virtual counselling to individuals living in Ontario. Encountering issues, no matter the severity, is a normal and natural part of our lives. However, it is my belief that our unique life experiences require a personalized approach to help us reach our goals in the face of adversity. One size does not fit all. Sessions with me are experiential in nature, with a focus on developing present moment awareness of one’s inner and outer world. Every person possesses an expert knowledge of themselves.

All my life I have worked to try and help ease people's suffering. Whether it be trauma, depression, or anxiety, it is my desire to help people live their best possible life. Helping people overcome these things that are preventing them from living a full life is what drives me. It's not just about overcoming mental illness but is about having mental wellness.

Currently, we provide online counseling services exclusively, featuring a talented team of counselors from diverse backgrounds who can tackle a wide range of mental health issues. Our primary goal is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through exceptional counseling services. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach for each unique client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we pledge to either find an appropriate replacement or suggest an unaffiliated alternative expert to ensure their needs are met.

It is so easy to get caught up in the stress and circumstances of our lives. We sometimes begin to lose sight of the bigger picture and live life as though there are no solutions to our situations. I have worked with individuals and families who have gone through immense challenges, all of whom have inspired me to help those willing and ready to seek assistance. I am passionate about people and continue to be amazed by the courage and strength of others. I firmly believe that we all have the capacity to bring about positive changes in our lives. You do not have to go through your struggles alone. Support is available!

I Am Excited To Announce That After 4 Months, I Am Now Accepting New Clients! Mental health can be especially challenging to understand because it isn't something you can see like an external physical injury. If feelings of being stuck or out-of-control, or the sense that life is spiraling downhill somehow seem familiar, they might just stem from poor mental wellbeing. There is no need for you to suffer alone as many of these symptoms can be effectively treated using psychotherapy. We'll work together using evidence-based psychological approaches to improve your quality of life and help you get back on track.

You need a therapist who gets you. When life gets rocky and you are feeling overwhelmed, you need a therapist who will be in your corner to make you feel heard, respected, valued, and appreciated. I am here for you. In these trying times, you need someone who is supportive, non-judgmental, and caring, yet knowledgeable enough to help you explore your options, see the possibilities, and guide you in attaining your desires.

" If you are still breathing then there is more right with you than wrong." - John Kabat Zinn.
