Therapists in Wingham, ON

You often struggle in an anxious fawn-freeze response with narcissists in your life, afraid to express yourself for fear of abandonment, rejection and their emotional reactions. You tend to pedestal others, people-please and behave in ways for approval but it is exhausting. Compulsive control, fantasizing, caretaking and perfectionism with people, relationships and life make you live in an arena of constant expectation, the need to keep up appearances and never feeling good enough is tiring. You yearn to feel safe and express your true self, be present and build healthier relationships and trust your life's authentic path.

People deserve to feel heard and valued, especially when facing the storms of life, so I work to create a presence that honours this. I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed, existential framework, seeking to honour each persons own unique experiences related to their particular intersectionalities. Working also from a spiritually-integrated perspective allows me to explore with clients the impact of spiritual wellness, with interspiritual and intercultural sensitivity. If you are experiencing distress related to meaning, identity, and/or spirituality, you will find a non-judgmental presence in which to safely explore.

The word Animism derives from the latin root Anima, meaning breath, spirit and life. I'll be a guide and ally to connect you to your inner wisdom on your Wellness and Spiritual Journey.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing. I’ve seen it happen, and it can happen for you too. When you begin to heal, you gain a newfound sense of hope for your life. I believe all of us, no matter the circumstances we come from, have this innate ability to transcend suffering and become who we were meant to be. I approach therapy from this lens, and I walk along side you as you begin this new path in your life. Whether you're depressed, anxious, grieving, working through addiction, feeling lost in life, or anything else, I invite you to start the journey today and discover what hope can do in your life.

I remember feeling so lost and alone, unsure which way to turn. Who was I? Having 2 young children yet, wanting to die. The pain was unbearable, I could not see any other way out. I cried non stop, dragging myself out of bed in the morning; slept many hours during the day. Not able to see any possibility of change in sight. Why do I hurt? Why am I here? Blaming myself for all that had gone wrong in my life. I was emotionally frozen. No hope! Even the things I loved, didn't bring me joy any more. Does this sound like you? Do you want to be rid of your pain? Are you tired of living this way? IT IS possible to change! I did!

I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore thoughts and feelings that create present reality. My many years of counselling have shown me that most people have inner resources that are not visible to them, preferring to focus on familiar, yet unknown, beliefs and behaviours.

My aim to is facilitate healing, and wellness to move forward in life with confidence and enthusiasm. I am culturally sensitive and open-minded. Phone and video sessions provided: 416-428-6071.

As your therapist, I will prioritize creating a non-judgmental space for you to explore your needs and concerns.

My goal is to facilitate a space which honours your unique needs and allows safe exploration into your desired topics.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, healing space, to help you understand your soul's unique journey. Do you feel stuck, in conflict or in a crisis? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or maybe defeated by depression? When you find that talk-only therapy is not shifting you, then you are ready to work at a deeper, core level, working with the implicit memory or history that is in your body.

Centre Bethany Centre is a place that provides counselling services that will contribute to the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Our approach is centred around healing in an African cultural context, that is to say, healing is the remedy that is required when something goes wrong with the functioning of the mind, body, psyche, environment and spirit. This malfunction often results in one feeling anxious; abandoned; physically, psychologically and spiritually traumatized; a sense of loss of self.

Hello and welcome! My name is a Keeshia and I am glad you’re here. I am passionate about getting to know your story and how you came to be in your current reality. I hope to explore your past and present, and together we can identify what your future can look like. I believe there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to therapy, so by getting to know you and using an integrative approach, we will find the ways in which you are best supported.

Does it appear as though others seem to live more joyfully and with greater ease? Does it feel that you aren't being treated as you deserve to be (in relationships, home and/or at work)? Do you struggle because others rarely seem to understand your best intentions? Does explaining yourself result in more frustration, anger, and even hopelessness at times? My practice is dedicated to identifying, and SHIFTing old ways of thinking and feeling; finding new alternatives to either endless fighting for yourself or just giving up. Together, we will open a new doorway into the present, where positive change and personal growth are found.

Life isn’t always easy. We all go through times where we need support. If you are here, something in your life isn’t how you would like to be and you are looking for support to have it be different. Good for you! Change isn’t always easy but it’s always worth it when you are headed in the direction of who you are meant to be.

I assist with creative thinking about potential options, resources & opportunities. I help people to understand why they have become upset, or stuck, and then empower them with self-care information & tools so that they can live more comfortably & effectively. The most appropriate clients for my approach are those with the ability & motivation to 'partner' with me on changing themselves - willing to invest more in changing, than complaining.
