Therapists in M5R

I am psychologist and my areas of specialty include: sex therapy, couples therapy, mood and anxiety disorders, low self-worth, grief. As a sex therapist, I focus on a range of issues including: anxiety during sex, body image, low desire, discrepant or mismatched desire, infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviour/hypersexuality, & LGBTQ+ health. I know that it is not easy to ask for help, especially when sexual concerns are involved. Using research-informed techniques and a strengths-based approach, and with a whole lot of care and compassion, I will work with you to help you make changes that are empowering, meaningful, and lasting.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, and change. I believe that we all have our own unique story. Just like a locked door, our struggles can seem insurmountable at times. But with the right support and guidance, we can find the key to unlock these barriers and live more freely. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your challenges, tap into your inner strengths, and achieve your goals. Using a strengths-based approach, I provide a supportive and collaborative partnership to help you develop new skills and insights for a more fulfilling life.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

Are you struggling with self-love, relationships, or sexual issues? Do you feel anxious, confused, or frustrated? Feel alone? If so, support from a Specialist can help. My name is Kevin Singh, hi! I've helped so many people with these challenges by creating a Customized Success Plan that creates clarity and a trajectory to find solutions layer-by-layer. My passion comes from my own personal struggles and successes. It can be hard to talk about vulnerable issues. I am VERY open minded, 100% non-judgmental, and easy to talk to.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR IN-PERSON (SAUGA/VAUGHAN) AND PHONE/VIDEO*** Let’s be honest, life is hard, and in many ways, we juggle more today than we ever have! Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stressed, confused, demotivated, even helpless and hopeless. It can be a tough road to travel, but you don't have to walk it alone. As a therapist, I don’t think anyone should feel that way. I am committed to supporting my clients with guidance, care, and connected to the proper resources. With experience working with youth, students, adults, and parents, I enjoy collaborating with clients on a variety of challenges.

When you are feeling out of sorts. When you are feeling like you are no longer in control of your own story. When are looking to make a change and try a different path, I might just be the counsellor for you. I use a client centered approach to help you find your own story again and give you the tools to be content in the identity you are discovering for yourself. We can develop a solution that gives you more control over your own life. For online and out of London, ON, you can book here https://www.shiftcollab.com/therapists/kimberly-gautreau

I believe that we all have the capacity to grow and achieve a better state of being. I am deeply committed to helping individuals who feel stuck or unhappy in their lives. I understand that feeling unmotivated, unfulfilled, or depressed can be incredibly challenging. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Through a caring and collaborative approach, I guide individuals in harnessing their inner resources to achieve personal growth and well-being. I see unlimited hope and potential in all individuals and aim to help others discover it for themselves.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

You may come to therapy because you feel lost, alone, angry, confused, empty, fearful, betrayed, or hopeless. Or not. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, unwanted thoughts and feelings, addictions, shame, or guilt. Or not. You may come to therapy because you want to understand how your early experiences are shaping your life. Or you may be curious about the therapeutic process, more generally. Or not.

I offer individual, couple, and family psychotherapy. My therapeutic stance is one of respect and active engagement. I like to explore resiliency, knowledge, aspirations and resources so you and I can have conversations that highlight what is going well while gently redirecting thinking and behavioural patterns that may be interfering with your capacity to feel connected to yourself and others. Whether this is solo or partnered endeavour, you will be able to gain clarity of your personal needs, develop self-compassion and acceptance, and uncover new bonding possibilities, and ways to maintain emotional connections.

I work with youth and adults starting at 16 years of age. For over a decade I have practiced in a variety of clinical settings including community treatment, hospitals, and boarding schools specializing in treating depression, anxiety, substance use, and gambling. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds experiencing a broad spectrum of substance use and mental health challenges. I have a special interest in working with racialized students attending boarding schools.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or overcome with grief? Maybe you are consumed by a chronic sense of dissatisfaction; or feeling distraught after a life-changing trauma. Whatever the trouble is, you do not need to face it alone. Therapy can be an effective way to rebuild your sense of well-being, improve your relationships, and increase your capacity to cope with all the unexpected things life brings. My practice is trauma-informed, relational and my approach is nonjudgemental, empathic and direct.

The Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health has been providing the highest standard of evidence-based individual and couple therapy since 2003. We are a highly skilled team of psychologists, social workers and registered therapists who are committed to helping people make meaningful changes. Our therapists are compassionate, empathic, and provide a safe therapeutic environment. We treat a wide range of psychological issues including: depression, anxiety, trauma, fears and phobias, relationship injuries and issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, chronic pain, health issues, stress, and life transitions.

I have a keen interest in understanding the sources of human suffering, as well as the tools needed to navigate and create a meaningful life. Over the last few years, I have worked in a variety of diverse social service settings, focusing primarily on adult mental health. I have supported individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and relationship issues. I am passionate about exploring the complexities of modern relationships, supporting queer and non-monogamous folks, and how we can create healthier outcomes for ourselves and our loved ones.

Understanding why and how we react or feel the way we do in relationships with others is a step towards a healthy, grounded, and fulfilled place in the world. Working with a trained psychotherapist will help you explore your life with different lenses and introduce alternative choices and pathways. I seek to help people who wish to break out of patterns and behaviours that keep them feeling stuck in their lives.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.
