Spirituality Therapists in M6G

The Clinic team offers individual, couple/family counselling. I use emotion & solution-focused techniques in session. We will talk about and explore feelings, helping you completely process emotions, to better guide you in relationships and decision-making. Our team has created the capacity to also offer CBT, IFS, DBT and many other person-centred/psychodynamic approaches, even mindfulness! We will also help you learn healthy relationship skills and other issues you may be struggling with ex: boundaries, assertiveness. The clinic is trauma specialized, helping people who have experienced trauma and related symptoms.

Whether you are struggling with specific issues or seeking deeper meaning in your life, I am here to listen and guide you to connect with your inner wisdom and resources to help you navigate through life challenges and improve the quality of your life. Drawing upon my training and experience in a variety of approaches, particularly somatic based approaches such as Sensorimotor (Level 2), TIST and Mindfulness, our work together will enable you to pay attention to the body mind in a caring and non judgmental way. Such skills can support you in regulating your emotions effectively and shift habit patterns that no longer serve you.

Welcome, courageous human. If you recognize your patterns (& still struggle to change the harmful ones) . . . if you find yourself overwhelmed/triggered all over the place by the state of this world, or your family, or your relationships, I see you. Come in to the courage room. (The good news: you're already there, in the courage room of your brain-body-spirit.) If you want to heal: betrayal trauma (including sexual assault, incest); anxiety or stuckness; or require support during a big transition, please reach out. (FYI, my hypnotherapy work is different than regular therapy. Learn more about both here: www.karenconnelly.ca).

It takes courage and insight to ask for help! If you are a student or international student who is frustrated, challenged with schedules and deadlines, maybe have learning disabilities, struggle with priorities, need help navigating school, educators, schedules, and relationships - I am here to help! I am an immigrant and worked with college/university students as a faculty, clinical educator, and program coordinator. Coaching, culturally sensitive, and using strength-based counseling coupled with CBT and mindfulness I can help to get passed the frustration, struggles, and how going to school can be done with ease and enjoyment!

I provide a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I work from a client-centred perspective, where we collaboratively work towards understanding your relational dynamics, processing your ingrained patterns and triggers, and ultimately expanding your level of awareness and consciousness by exploring meaning, purpose and joy in life. Modalities that I have found particularly effective are IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), which go beyond traditional notions of talk therapy, to access and promote your inherent capacity for self-compassion and healing.

I identify as a cis-gender, racialized Asian woman whose approach embraces a wholistic, reflective, equity-seeking, anti-oppressive/anti-racist decolonized lens. It's been an honour to be welcomed into many diverse communities through 20+ years in education, support and case management with racialized communities, gender diverse individuals, Indigenous peoples, people living with HIV/AIDS, newcomer populations, people who use substances, as well as sexual trauma survivors. The evolution of my practice includes a metaphysical component that acknowledges the interplay of mind/body/spirit

I work with people who are undergoing any experience that might be called 'transformation.' Sometimes transformation is forced upon us by trauma, and sometimes we are called to it from within. Either way, it can be difficult to navigate alone. I can provide you with a compassionate space where you can process pain, come to understand your patterns, and grow into your truest self. By using a holistic approach that gets to the roots of deep issues, we will move at your own pace to uncover pathways toward healing. This involves understanding the past, exploring emotions in the here-and-now, and tapping into the body's wisdom.

Alexandra takes a holistic approach to address concerns related to physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual wellness. A trauma-informed, transpersonal, and mindfulness-based integrative lens is used to help clients access their inner resources and wisdom to find the answers that lie within and create a life of meaning and purpose. Clients are guided on their journey of self-discovery to develop self-awareness, knowledge of self, and foster a connection with their inner sage. Individuals are empowered to explore their multidimensionality and discover/nurture their unique gifts to self-heal and achieve self-actualization.

Undisturb yourself! Using CBT, Existential, and Mindfulness forms of psychotherapy, I help clients (in-person/ telephone/ on-line) develop the tools in order that they think, act and feel better. Sometimes the realities of life understandably leave us susceptible to certain anxieties, despair and general existential concern. All too often we find ourselves developing unhelpful irrational thoughts and behaviours that can seem impossible to change. But they aren't. If you are interested in investigating and changing your assumptions and behaviours, if you want to modify the lens through which you view and experience the world, my therapeutic modality could be well suited to you.

I specialize in deep connection and communication that you can feel! I support you in your life purpose and full self expression of you and your gifts, self-worth, your voice, clarity of feelings, and movement forward. I help you explore a deeper understanding of yourself and your resourcefulness, to move towards a sense of relief, renewal, empowerment and joy. Discover and cultivate what brings you meaningful experience and deeper connection. I address your whole self: human, spirit, and animal. There is more energy and colour to your life. Not sure how to access it? Message me.

I am passionate about supporting others in their personal and spiritual growth. I help people going through major life transitions achieve peace of mind, symptom relief, and bring back a feeling of self-worth, acceptance and self-esteem. You could say I help people bring back their aliveness while integrating different approaches to match the therapy to the individual needs of the client. My work is based on the theoretical perspective that our sense of self forms and develops in relationship, particularly with caregivers. Therefore, deep change occurs through the new and intentional relational experience that is co-created in therapy.

In my practice, I provide a supportive space where we can explore your unique journey, helping you to get to a place of understanding and self-compassion. I believe this is the most reliable foundation on which to pursue change, which might include increasing your ability to manage difficult emotions and thoughts, improving your connection with others, working through past experiences, or making important life choices based on your values.

Do you suffer from unwanted OCD thoughts and anxiety? Do you worry about bad things happening to you or those you love? Maybe you are having thoughts that you have harmed someone or may harm someone in the future. Perhaps you fear that you will become contaminated or that you will be responsible for a tragedy. Do you wash your hands excessively or check things like door locks or the stove? Or do you avoid things like knives, public restrooms, or anything that might trigger your fearful thoughts? Do you find that your OCD is interfering with your relationships?

Has someone really important in your life died? Someone that you never imagined having to live without? I know that the death of a significant person in your life can be devastating. Even worse, they might have been the person who would comfort you in your toughest moments and now they're gone. Grief in this magnitude can be destabilizing and leave you to wonder if you're going to be able to survive the relentlessness of it all. If you've tried avoiding the pain or "acting normal" but it hasn't worked, I can give you the space and guidance to come apart and then help you put yourself back together in a different and meaningful way.

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.

Accepting New Clients As someone who has been to therapy before, I understand how difficult it is to find the right therapist that helps you overcome the issues you face. You are here because you're ready for change, tackling challenges, and to seek a fulfilling life. Feeling stuck or lost is common, but you're not alone. A compassionate, safe space awaits where you can explore these feelings and rediscover your purpose. Together, we'll face life's hurdles, encouraging growth and self-discovery. You're supported with empathy and without judgment, easing feelings of loneliness and anxiety as we aim for impactful life transformations.

I believe it's always possible to reconnect with our strengths, joys, values, and desires, even in times when we feel stuck: when it's particularly hard to see the meaning in our lives, when feelings of regret outweigh feelings of acceptance, when shame and anxiety hold us back from engaging with ourselves and our loved ones. In my work with you, I want to point out those sacred parts of yourself that might have been forgotten. I want to help you see the different paths you can take, and be alongside you as you choose and move forward.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you? I have been there, and I know that it can feel exhausting trying to figure it out alone. I offer my gentle curiosity and caring presence to support you in whatever struggles you are facing right now. I value the wisdom of my clients, and view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we can process emotions, explore deeply-rooted patterns, and experiment with new ways of being.

Hey, my name is Curt. I have been working as a counsellor for the past six years. The office I work out of is near Christie Subway Station. My main experiences have been with people with substance use issues and/or addictions, who are wanting to make some changes in their life. I am trauma-informed, non-judgmental, anti-oppressive and always support clients on whatever goals they want to work on. I have also worked with folks from the LGBTQ2S+ community.
