Therapists in M6C

Hello and welcome! I appreciate the importance of being heard and valued, especially when feeling vulnerable. I am highly compassionate and provide a safe environment for you to express what’s on your mind. In our sessions, we will work together to build a therapeutic relationship and help you find the safety and connection you are looking for. I focus on working with survivors of trauma, people experiencing relationship issues at home or the workplace, those struggling with grief and loss, and individuals dealing with general anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the impact on day-to-day life.

I often meet people who notice they are repeating relationship patterns and behaviours, and they aren't sure why. Sometimes, you may remember how these strategies were protective and kept you safe in the past, or you may not. I support the people I work with to sense, with compassion, how powerful and ingenious these strategies are. Sometimes when we meet, you've come to a place of knowing that these same protective strategies aren't as effective as they used to be, and you're wondering why or are looking to change. We come to decide in therapy what to hold tight to and what to set aside for now.

I work with adults in individual therapy. I can help bring awareness to the specific obstacles that may be preventing you from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we can make shifts in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you that will support your goals. I will provide you with both a nurturing environment and the necessary tools for you to explore what's possible and move beyond what's currently holding you back from continued growth. Together, we’ll work through internal and external barriers so that you can develop strong coping mechanisms and skills that you can rely on.

Everyday life can be difficult to navigate. Most of us have struggles such as struggles with self-esteem, conflict at work, in a romantic relationship or family system, or issues adjusting to big changes such as having a child. Working with a therapist can help you to get to where you want to be heading, and give you the space that you need to talk it out. Together, we will address whatever it might be that is impacting you, and help you to feel empowered and self-assured.

People come to therapy for many reasons. A person may have experienced a life changing event. Perhaps a loved one has recently passed away. Perhaps there is a struggle with alcohol and drug problems or other mental health concerns. Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to speak with someone who will listen and understand without judgement, provide a safe and trusting environment and offer professional guidance. Therapy can help you make more conscious choices, reconnect with your feelings and needs and gain more insight into relationships. It can also help you deal with crisis, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and unhappiness.

You can be free to live your best life!!! I provide collaborative therapeutic work in assisting you to resolve issues, restore perspectives and recharge your dreams. I am a caring psychotherapist with a genuine enthusiasm for people to know inner wellness and personal freedom. My significant experience have provided me confidence in treating various psychological, emotional and behavioural issues in individuals, couples and families. My approach is to provide meaningful and effective treatment in a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can find a support that is compassionate and transformative.

Let's face it, sometimes life get complicated. It comes with many stressors and challenges. In these moments it becomes easy to get trapped in negative self-talk cycles, bouts of low mood, high levels of anxiety or stress and an uncertainty of what do next. As a psychotherapist I aim to work with you to develop skills and resources to combat the stressors that you are experiencing in life. I acknowledge that every person is a unique and complex human being and as a result I welcome you, as you are in order to help you become the person that you want to be.

I am dedicated to cultivating a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for my clients. By meeting you with empathy and fostering a strong therapeutic connection, we can progress through your healing and growth journey together. Through a blend of curiosity and light-heartedness, we will delve into the depths of your psyche, emotions, and spirituality. I’d offer support and gentle guidance as you discover your innate capacity to heal and nurture both yourself and your relationships, ultimately empowering you to manifest your desires and fulfill your needs.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

I offer a warm, creative, down-to-earth approach that is client-focused and collaborative. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. I believe in bringing light and air to the parts of ourselves that need time and space to emerge. In our increasingly fragmented world filled with smart phones and twitter feeds, we could all use some good old-fashioned connection. I bring a deep curiousity about the ways we move through the world, the stories we tell ourselves and how our relationships are affected.

If you’re feeling burned out, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from others, therapy can be an important step towards change and healing. It can help you understand your needs, process difficult experiences, let go of harsh-self criticism, develop new coping strategies, and rediscover what’s truly important to you. I especially love helping clients reconnect with who they are under all of the masks they’ve been wearing for others, and supporting them in understanding and working towards their own unique vision for meaningful relationships and a fulfilling life.

Are you struggling to cope with a traumatic event, life transition, or stress? Having issues in your romantic relationship? Struggling to manage tough feelings? Feel like you are not living life in a way that matters to you? I am a clinical psychologist who provides evidence-based treatment to couples and adults looking to reduce their stress and anxiety, improve their mood and relationships, navigate life transitions and get help with a variety of other mental health needs (including but not limited to those listed on my profile). My practice is anti-oppressive, 2SLGBTQ+ affirmative, and trauma-informed.

Accepting New Clients! I am an expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. I have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and caregiver burnout. I am also well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory), mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and dissociative disorders. Finally, I treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned so much :).

I've been both the client and the therapist, and I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic connection. It is an hour just for you; a space to find your voice, understand yourself, get out of your own way. This is what I offer my clients - a relationship where we work together in exploring what is going on for you, take the time to develop trust and tolerance for challenge, and where *everything* is open for discussion. My style is both direct and playful, curious and open-minded. I love working with clients who are ready for change, even if they don't know exactly what that might look like.

With 5+ years of experience in the mental health field, I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds in community and private practice settings. Coupled with my experience as an immigrant woman of colour, I am driven to provide culturally-sensitive and anti-oppressive services to all marginalized communities and underrepresented groups. Everyone experiences dips in their mental health and it is important to have support while we work to get ourselves back to our version of healthy. This process is unique to each person which is why I prioritize tailoring each session to the person.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and psychoanalytic candidate with a background of 20+ years in community based advocacy and counselling. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, collaborative, and trauma informed; prioritizing the development of a therapeutic relationship that fosters acceptance, trust and compassion. My approach considers relational patterns, formative experiences and relationships between social, cultural, and historical contexts and psychological well being. I currently have upcoming availability for individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

I have 12+ years experience working in coaching and psychotherapy. While working with both individuals and couples, I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental approach. I work with a range of clients and specialize in Relationship issues, Men's issues, Life Transitions, Communication, Self-esteem, Identity development, Overcoming Shame, Mood regulation and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is eclectic, meaning that one size does not fit all. I work within your paradigm to find what works for you. I work with you at your pace and using methodologies that are most suited to your needs.

I am a registered social worker with 15 years experience in providing individual and family therapy in adult and children mental health settings. I support individuals and families with interpersonal challenges, mental health concerns, coping with childhood trauma, work stress, transitions and emotional concerns. My work is focused on compassionately exploring and transforming deeply rooted, unsettling patterns in relationship with self and others. In therapeutic relationship where my clients feel deeply understood, we integrate relational, emotional, cognitive and body-oriented experiences to facilitate meaningful change.
