Anger Management Therapists in T2N

Hello! My name is Madelaine, and I have been working in mental health for 8 years in the areas of domestic abuse, child welfare, Indigenous services, 2SLGBTQI+ identities, gender and sexuality, education, and healthcare. I also work with couples, poly/ENM dynamics and with those living with a disability or chronic illness.

In the flow of life it can be easy to lose track of who we are and the parts of ourselves that we value the most. Maybe you’ve never had a chance to grow into the person you’d like to be, or perhaps you’re held back by other factors such as life transitions, unhealthy relationships, toxic work environments, cultural expectations, illness/disease, or self-limiting beliefs. Let me help you navigate these challenges and create a life that reflects your values, true sense of self, and preferred ways of being.

I provide client-centered and trauma-informed therapy. My aim is to create a safe and accepting space, facilitating discussion and processing of concerns that brought you in. I offer culturally sensitive therapy and respect your personal values and worldview. Creating an environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood during our sessions is my focus. Our work will be based on your needs and preferences. I strive to help you discover your inherent strengths and build resiliency. I enjoy working with individual adults, couples, families, and adolescents (16+).

I'm a Registered Psychologist, Mediator, and Parent Coordinator. I have a diverse practice and offer therapy for older children, adolescents, and adults presenting with concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, parental conflict, stress, sport-life balance, concussions/post-concussive syndrome, and body image concerns. My combined clinical training and research background inform my approach to treatment. I maintain ongoing training and skill development in my areas of work to ensure that I provide my clients with a meaningful therapeutic experience.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our developmental years can dramatically impact our quality of life. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, we can develop a new sense of ourselves that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in our relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youth (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and holistic, and is intended to help you build a better, healthier relationship with yourself and others. We’ll work together to discover ways to heal from mental illness and cope with life’s challenges. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults (including couples) as an educator and therapist. I help people deal with a variety of challenges (e.g., anxiety, OCD, depression); I am trained in individual trauma therapy, and I work with individuals to find meaning in life and live theirs to its fullest despite the adversity they may have experienced.

As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals process their trauma and value the significance of a therapeutic relationship to make positive, lasting changes. I have a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and intergenerational trauma. With extensive experience across community and mental health settings, I find fulfillment in working with diverse age groups, including children, youth, and adults. I provide my clients with the tools they need to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and alleviate psychological distress, which improves their psychological well-being.

I work with individuals 15 years of age and up and Couples. I'm here to support you on your journey to a better quality of life. Working collboratibvely with my clients to acheiev their goals and succeed in breaking their negatuve thought process.

I am a registered child psychologist specializing in helping toddlers, young children (up to age 12), and their families with common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I provide assessment and treatment tailored to meet the specific needs of each child and family. Because young children depend so heavily on those around them to address their developmental needs and challenges, I collaborate closely with parents. The parent-child relationship often provides the best opportunity for effective intervention. I provide a respectful and caring environment for parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, what their child needs, and how they can meet those needs.

I strive to understand issues from my client’s perspective without judgement and I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for successful therapy. It is within this relationship that clients feel safe to begin examining the various layers of their story and where answers begin to emerge from within. I help clients feel supported in this discovery process and work collaboratively with them in building a new narrative that aligns with their belief systems and values.

As owner, operator and lead clinician at Jennifer Berard & Associates, I believe that all people have an incredible capacity for change. I've had the honour to observe individuals, with seemingly insurmountable challenges, create meaningful and lasting change. My approach is client centered. I believe that you are the expert in your life and I aim to help you find your own strength, in your own time, at your own pace. I have extensive experience and training in the Addiction and Mental Health field, with specialized experience in the addictions, trauma, forensics and first responders.

I bring a unique approach to therapy as a Registered Art Therapist and Registered Social Worker with a Clinical Specialization and over 25 years of practice experience. I work with individuals across the lifespan beginning as young as 6 years of age, and families. Common concerns include the impact of trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, emotional regulation, behavioural issues, parent-child relationship concerns, self esteem and life transitions. I work from a person-centered, strengths-based approach that is trauma informed and grounded in attachment theory.

Is your child struggling with social, emotional, or behavioural issues? Are you a parent also struggling with how best to support your child or adolescent? I am a Registered Psychologist, with many years experience working with children and adolescents in mental health facilities, schools, and private practice. I enjoy working with youth, parents, and families who are struggling with a variety of challenges: ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, social skills deficits, learning challenges, parenting skills, and behavioural techniques.

I have over 30 years of experience working therapeutically with individuals from all walks of life and look forward to honoring your lived experience and supporting you in your journey toward living a rewarding, authentic life. I have a keen interest in the areas of depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, communication, addiction, and mental health issues, postpartum, grief, relationships, and conflict. I feel my addiction and mental health nursing experience along with my counselling experience bridges the medical model and the psychosocial/behavioral models to empower you to become your best self.

To me, therapy is about the person sitting across from me. Together, we can collaboratively explore and influence your past, present and hopes for the future. For everything, including your thoughts, behaviors and emotions. My goal is helping clients identify and work towards meaningful change. As human beings, we all possess an inherent yearning for connection, as we enter this world entirely reliant on others. Through helping clients achieve their goals, I strive to improve their connections and increase their resilience against the challenges of life.

Rachel is a seasoned Registered Psychologist dedicated to the treatment of trauma, self-harm, suicidality, personality disorders, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. With a comprehensive approach, she also addresses behavioral challenges in youth, enriching her practice with a blend of compassion and expertise. Rachel's work extends to assisting both youth and adults, offering valuable parent consultation and support to navigate complex familial dynamics.

My approach to counselling comes from the perspective that people have the capacity to adapt to their experiences and environment. I believe that healing is best supported in connection with others and I view the counselling relationship as an integral part of change. I help clients make sense of how their life experiences are affecting their current personal challenges, behaviour patterns, and relationship distress, using brain-based approaches to help clients reconnect with their true selves. I emphasize holistic care, facilitating secure attachments within a client’s network to promote optimal development and meaningful change.

My practice, over the years, has become more and more attuned to problems of conflict and issues of violence. As a trained child psychologist, I have seen first hand the raw damage an emotional injury continues to create. As a clinician, it has not been unusual for me to see the same sorts of trauma: yet locked away in one's memory, living on in current behaviour. This is what conflict can do. The issues just seem to keep on repeating themselves, inevitably with the same unfortunate outcomes. (My role sometimes is the Life Coach who becomes a personal guide.)

I am committed to helping clients achieve a greater sense of well-being, fulfillment and success through working collaboratively to develop better personal awareness, overcome limitations and implement effective practical strategies so that clients can live more inspired and purposeful lives. My passions include: counselling and coaching people through career, business, sport, and life transitions; effectively managing anxiety and depression; relationship, family, and workplace challenges; and developing communication and leadership skills.
