Therapists in Barrie, ON

Permanent recovery stems from learning to be who you needed to be when you were younger. As a holistic therapist, I help you understand the emotional experiences you're having to make sense of where they originated. We'll work together to identify the parts of yourself that need attention. Embracing all aspects of you, we'll learn that there are no bad parts, only parts that require your care and focus. When we identify the people-pleasing, chaotic, perfectionist, critical, and self-destructive parts, we can learn to be in a relationship with them. This allows us to access the adult part of ourselves to live with peace and ease.

I am a registered social worker and practicing psychotherapist who believes in collaboration throughout the course of the therapeutic process.

My education and lived experience enables an offering of an individualized therapeutic care experience that examines the roots of my client's concerns.

Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along. - Rae Smith Since my formative years, I have discovered my passion for counselling. I have more than 20 years of experience working with couples, teenagers, childr

A warm welcome! I believe in change, I believe in possibility and I believe in potential. Therapy is growth.

We then work together with the goal of moving into acceptance and release to create space for a more positive and meaningful experience of life.

We offer electronic counselling services to provide convenience and access to support for those seeking help across the miles.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.

Do you feel like you’re not living your life as fully as you could be? Feelings of being unsafe, or ‘on edge’ may be limiting your connections with others, and your ability to pursue the life you want. Whether it’s working through a difficult period, a traumatic event, childhood experiences, or ongoing struggles with stress and anxiety, you don’t need to do this alone. With over 25 years in the teaching and helping fields, I offer empathic support to help you feel more connected to yourself and to enjoy positive, healthy relationships with others.

I've been accompanying people through difficult times and life challenges; depression, addiction, relationship issues, grief and more for many years. My conversations with you can help you discover the healing power, resilience, creativity and deep peace you've been longing for. My private practice "Tapping Your Inner Resources"; can help you release your deep wisdom to empower your healing and strengthen your relationships. Even depression, or 'bottoming out' in addiction can help to point us in the direction of deep mental, physical and spiritual healing.

Un-controlled emotions can sabotage areas of our lives. Are you consistently angry? Or have anxiety and you're losing an appetite for life? Angry outburst can leave you embarrassed or potentially harm important relationships. You may feel a sense that life is out of control when you lash out, especially if it's towards people who didn't deserve it. High anxiety on the other hand can lead to insomnia, depression and the inability to cope with every day life. You may be asking, "Can I ever feel normal again?"

I would like to acknowledge and honour your consideration to reach out for support. It is not always easy and can feel vulnerable. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” You are the expert of your life, however most of us need extra support to cope with the challenges that can arise in our daily lives. In today’s climate you may be feeling exhausted and access to the usual resources may be limited. This can be a lonely feeling and may be described as trauma – anything that you lack the resources to get through.
