Hey there! My name is Jeremy and I'm glad you're looking into some mental health supports. Whether it is for yourself or for someone you know, looking into different therapy options can be overwhelming with all the options out there, so it can be helpful to have a general idea of what some of your counselling goals might be and go from there. Phone consultations are a great way to see if you might be a good fit with each other as well. I believe in everyone's ability to create changes for themselves and haven't met a client I haven't learned from yet!

Is your child struggling with social, emotional, or behavioural issues? Are you as a parent or family member also struggling with how best to support your child or adolescent during this uncertain time? If so, I can help. 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.

New to therapy? Nothing to worry about! Sometimes it's hard making sense and to talk about our feelings, experiences and patterns of behaviours. Empathetic by nature, I'm a progressive therapist, who uses a strength-based approach to help you and/or your partner achieve emotional balance and optimal mental health. My job is to ultimately help you feel comfort, acceptance, and to listen without judgement. Some days we'll laugh and realize those light 'ah ha!' moments while other days we will work hard to uncover those deeply personal truths. If you'd like to know more visit me at: alphacounselling.ca

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

Accepting new clients...Have you reached your limit in pain/stress/worry? Are you growing more concerned about your relationship with alcohol and/or drugs? Or are you worried about the alcohol or drug use of someone you love and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do. Are you starting to realize that maybe you "don't got this", and that you need some help? Patterns of unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours developed over time CAN be changed; coping with trauma and anxiety IS possible. This can be a tough and confusing time, but reaching out for help indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

I treat anxiety and depression. These conditions often stem from trauma either from childhood or as an adult. I also work with couples via an Emotionally Focused Therapy which is an approach to couples therapy based on attachment. I believe that an integrative approach, focusing on the whole person, as well as their significant relationships which I believe comprise one's total health and wellness.

I am so glad that you’re here. Reaching out is the hardest step. Good job! I was once told that we all have a light that shines within us. It is the essence of our being and it burns bright. At times, life challenges and stressors cause our light to flicker. When we are faced with complex challenges, like trauma, addictions, or emotional and/or mental stress, that light can become covered. Caked in mud, if you will. The more challenges, the more layers. The light is still there, but it’s hard to see. My goal is to partner with you to peel back the layers and let your light shine bright again.

I have experience with a variety of client challenges including anxiety, addiction, complex trauma, depression, ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, grief, etc. I have a strong interest in Interpersonal Neurobiology (the brain’s ability to rewire itself when offered corrective emotional experiences) and Sensorimotor Therapy, which rests under the assumption that trauma or attachment disruption is stored in the body. In addition, I have recently started using EMDR in my therapeutic practice with children and adults.

I work mostly with adults, couples and families, as well as with other therapists (who need a safe space to talk too!) I aim to approach conversations through a non-pathologizing, respectful lens and to honour people's lived experience. Those who consult me come in to discuss a broad spectrum of issues, such as: depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief/loss, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, crises of identity, body image struggles, and experiences of injustice based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation/identity, etc.

I believe that lasting change starts with developing an understanding of the thought patterns and behaviours that occur in response to the challenges we encounter. I work collaboratively with each client to explore both their strengths and current difficulties in order to develop and improve coping skills, as well as create meaningful change in their lives. I foster a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic relationship that allows clients to feel respected, understood, and empowered.

I recognize that these are trying times and that it can be difficult to reach out for support. As a result, I take care in ensuring that families feel safe, comfortable, and connected by providing a warm and empathic therapeutic environment. I specialize in clinical psychology and provide treatment to children, adolescents, and young adults. I work primarily from a cognitive-behavioural lens and integrate other evidence-based treatments into my practice to meet the needs of each individual client and family. I also have training in attachment-based interventions and offer parent support for those who may feel stuck or overwhelmed.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. My practice welcomes individuals and families from different cultural backgrounds and offers a safe place to work together, share our experiences, and reconnecting to relationships that are meaningful. I believe that everybody has goals and dreams that they want to accomplish in life. However, sometimes we encounter stressors in our lives which can shatter our dreams and our relationships. I will work with you, using different therapeutic approaches, to help cope with the stressors that are getting in the way. I believe in resolving conflict, pursuing happiness, and preserving relationships.

You did not realize managing your health and reaching your potential would be so difficult. I want you to know you are not alone. I enjoy working with a diverse clientele looking to achieve their best health, wellness, and performance outcomes. Some clients are looking to take charge of their health and not getting answers in the current healthcare system. I work with athletes of all ages looking to develop a champion mindset, reach the podium, and overcome performance anxiety. When individuals are faced with injury or surgery, we collaborate to speed up recovery times, promote healing, and help them overcome mental roadblocks.

Are you ready to make a change in your life? Taking the first step toward your wellness can feel overwhelming. Welcome. I help people who are feeling the effects of stress and trauma (from childhood or more recent events) and are interested in processing these experiences in a warm, supportive space. Memories can sometimes get stuck in our bodies and may result in mental, physical, and emotional stress. Together, we can work on identifying and processing these stressors, developing healthy ways of expressing and releasing emotions, and practice skills for lifelong change.
