I have 20 years of experience in treating individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma and grief. Counselling takes place in a safe and therapeutic environment. Developing a relationship with my clients to engage in evidenced-based therapy techniques that have been established as effective and successful in regaining hope in your lives. These techniques can help you experience increased emotional health and wellness. I have a strong interest in trauma work. Sessions are tailored to your specific strengths, needs and values, exploring the impact of our experiences on our current life situation.

Maybe you feel an important part of you has taken a back seat to life and what has gone on.

Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path.

SPECIALIZING IN WORKING WITH TEENS, FAMILIES, AND YOUNG ADULTS. Being a teen is hard these days. Juggling work, school, and relationships is tough especially when you feel you can’t reach out for help.

Do you overthink? Do you encounter the same experience in your head repetitively, as if the cycle will benefit you in some way? Are you a people-pleaser and are scared of disappointing others?

It isn't easy seeking out support, but you did it. Everyone at some point in life experiences difficulty and hardship. I get it, I have walked a hard road too. My goal is to support you to discover yourself. My approach is sincere, compassionate and collaborative.

My name is Dr. Joy Andres-Lemay. I have been practising with children, teens, and families for over 15 years. I provide psychological assessment services for developmental issues, learning disabilities, and mental health concerns. The treatment services I provide include individual and family treatment for children and adolescents with mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, as well as for a variety of life stressors (e.g., family breakdown, self-esteem). I also provide parenting support to families. My approach to treatment is eclectic, integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches, attachment theory and systemic approaches.

I offer my clients a respectful, empathic and supportive environment to connect on a deeper level, with themselves and others. I accompany my clients on the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I encourage individuals to recognize and connect with their feelings, moving away from adaptive strategies of the past that may impede positive connections towards emotional engagement, openness and risk-taking.

I’m a clinical social worker and I provide psychotherapy to clients struggling with challenging life experiences. It can be difficult to feel understood or to cope when experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict or low self-confidence. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, and I can provide a safe space where together we focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges. I have more than a decade of experience working with adults (18+) dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment issues, grief, shame and guilt, interpersonal conflict, and perinatal concerns, etc.

You've been thinking about seeing a therapist for a while now, perhaps months or even years. Maybe you thought you were managing well, but then COVID happened. Let's face it, life can feel chaotic and messy at times. This may lead us to feeling overwhelmed, confused and lacking a sense of direction. We may feel burdened with anxiety, worry, fear or anger regarding the wellbeing of ourselves or relationships that we care about. In an effort to be helpful, family or friends may try to give advice, but that may leave us feeling even worse. This can make reaching out for support all the harder.

Sometimes, life becomes more than we can comfortably manage. We may feel unfulfilled, sad, irritable, worried and disconnected from who we are, who we love and the life we want to live. We may feel powerless to change our situation. However, change is possible! I work collaboratively with people of all ages, honoring their unique experiences while simultaneously supporting them to increase strategies and build resiliency and confidence. Whether it is a slight ‘tweak’ or a deeper concern you wish to explore, I am happy to provide support. With new strategies firmly in place, you are empowered to create the life you desire!

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). For 20 years, I have worked as an Intensive Marriage and Couples Therapist with my husband David Rubinstein, MA, RP. I now also maintain an Individual counselling practice for women, blending my experience as a Couple Therapist with Energy Psychology protocols. I work with women of all ages to enhance self-esteem, create secure relationships, and cope with traumatic loss. More recently, I have been helping women over sixty overcome late-in-life challenges, find new meaning and purpose, live vibrantly, and enjoy aging gracefully.

Reaching out for support takes a tremendous amount of courage and I commend you for taking this first step. It can be difficult opening up to someone about our problems and feelings. Having a professional to talk to can provide guidance through hard times and a new way of looking at situations that occur in our lives. I encourage you to give it a try and wish you the best on your journey towards wellness.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling a general lack of fulfillment in life... you are not alone. As humans we can become stuck on a problem-solving ‘default’ setting; one that often doesn’t gel with our authentic selves. The good news is we can heal. If we can embrace a degree of courage, commitment, and a willingness to do things differently, growth is possible.

In my years of practice I have provided psychotherapy to clients presenting with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, past trauma, depression, marital discord, affair recovery, low self-esteem/self-worth, and grief. I am committed to helping clients make meaningful changes in their life through using a gentle yet directive approach.

My passion lies in helping children, youth, adults, and families address concerns that are leading them to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or “stuck”, in the interest of moving towards a more positive and hopeful future. I am experienced in working with a number of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, emotion-regulation issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and life transitions. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a specialized and evidence-based approach to working through trauma.
