Welcome! I'm Edna, an experienced RN dedicated to transforming lives through psychotherapy. If you're ready to embrace a life of lasting well-being, you've found your next partner. With 7 years of clinical expertise, I specialize in evidence-based, client-centered therapy that seamlessly integrates the vital connection between your physical and mental health. Let's embark on an exhilarating journey of holistic healing & unparalleled personal growth starting today.

I believe you are the expert in your own life. You know your strengths and your needs. I aim to support you in your journey of healing from (childhood) traumas and building strong relationships to become fully actualized as an adult.

I would like to support you with your life challenges, stressors, depression and anxiety. I want to help you reach your goals effectively through warm and empathic interaction. I can provide a warm space if you are looking for a caring and empathic therapist. As an affirmative therapist, I also work with BIPOC and LGBTQ populations, with extensive training in couples work. I facilitate non-judgementally and can walk us through collaborative and effective approaches. I have extensive experience working with ADHD, Autism and Neurodiversity and specialize in Brainspotting Trauma therapy. I want to understand your lived experiences.

I am Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist specializing in issues related to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I work with clients who suffer from crippling anxiety, worry, and panic. Low motivation, depression, and perfectionism. I assist individuals who lack self-esteem, have strong defence mechanisms, and feel that things are not going their way in life. If you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. My clients learn, grow, and evolve in a non-judgemental and supportive environment where they can master new coping skills to take control over their lives.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Hope is powerful and is often what helps us push forward when life’s challenges become confusing and overwhelming. Yet, hope can be difficult to find and hold on to. I cannot promise solutions, but I am committed to walking with individuals, couples, and families in their search for understanding, growth, healing, and hope. I take a holistic and collaborative approach in exploring deeper emotions and thought patterns in past and present experiences.

****NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN VAUGHAN/MISSISSAUGA AND PHONE/VIDEO**** "I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become" -Carl Jung. If you are stuck in the “I wish things had been different” mode,” and feel like there is little hope for change in your life; therapy provides an avenue to be heard, to grieve, to discover acceptance, and create a new future right now, as we work together to formulate small but consistent steps in the present. I believe that each person is unique and brings individualized strengths and skills to forge new paths in their lives and in their relationships. Together, we can reach your goals.

I believe that everyone is unique and exploring our inner world can help us appreciate this uniqueness. Our journey and the pain that we go through in our life make each of us special. I have helped individuals, couples and families to discover their pain and realize how it impacts themselves and their relationships. The new meaning and insight that we gain from this exploration helps us accept and love our unique selves, and build deeper relationships with our loved ones.

Hi I'm Judy, Director at Your Story Counselling (YSC). At YSC, we understand that life can be stressful, it's easy to become disconnected from ourselves and those we love. Our goal is to help you find what you need in order to create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life. When we open ourselves up to our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves up to our full potential. We believe that all of us have the strength within ourselves to overcome and forge ahead with our own preferred way of life, love, and happiness. We all can use some help and support from time to time.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless or coping with a loss? Reaching out for support is a courageous first step towards making changes or healing from a loss. When we are experiencing challenges, transitions or loss, we can benefit from an opportunity to explore what is impacting our well-being and to reflect on what we have lost and what remains. You don't have to go through such challenges alone. My passion for my work, combined with unique skillset and expertise can help you find clarity, overcome obstacles, and live your life with more ease, acceptance and meaning.

Life is a journey full of ups and downs, twists and turns. So, of course, we all stumble, fall, or get off track along the way. The reasons are numerous, and the stumbles and falls can sometimes feel extremely painful. We can feel confused, stressed, discouraged, and sad. We are all human, and we all need someone to help us along the journey. Let me walk with you and begin the journey to health and healing.

We know it is difficult to find the help you need. We have expanded our team to include multiple disciplines (Applied Behaviour Therapy, social work, psychotherapy, and psychologists), to address the diversity of presenting concerns today. We try our best to match you with the best clinician for your needs, whether you require a formal diagnosis or are seeking counseling for mild concerns. We provide therapy for all ages, as well as psycho-educational, developmental, and socio-emotional assessments for children and adolescents. We welcome all, and if we can't find a fit for you we can provide you with referral options.

At times we may feel stuck, as if something is standing in our way of change, of wellbeing, and we feel like we are facing a roadblock to a more fulfilling life. We may also be undergoing or carrying experiences that; weigh us down, impact our relationships with ourselves and others, cause emotional pain, and blind us from seeing a better direction. Within a safe environment, we will build a relationship of trust and understanding together as a solid foundation. I believe you are the expert of your life, and you have the strengths and resources to achieve your goals. You will not be alone, I am here for you.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** When our thoughts get the better of us and we feel overwhelmed, I believe there is always hope to reach the peace for which we all yearn. Through psychotherapy, I support clients struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, identity, and relationships. We all have times when we aren’t sure where we stand in our lives and with others, so I offer a safe and welcoming space where clients can express and find themselves. We are complex individuals with our own unique stories made up of our experiences. Therapy is an empowering space where we can explore these without judgment.

Mindfulness based psychotherapy is a powerful approach to healing that is based on the ancient wisdom of how to work with our own minds. Mindfulness is defined by paying attention, with intention, in the present moment, without judgment. Clients who practice mindfulness skills share that their lives are more positive, they have an enhanced sense of well-being and better relationships all around. In Mindfulness Psychotherapy, I work with clients to support their development of moment-by-moment awareness by teaching a variety of skills and techniques, which will aid in their development.
