Thanks for taking a look at my profile. If you are looking for a counsellor it's likely that you are feeling stuck about a particular problem. Stuck problems are frustrating and can make you feel disconnected in your relationships. It can even affect how you see yourself. Looking for a counsellor is a sign that you are getting ready for change. For 34 years I have helped people of all ages and stages move further towards the goals that they set. I am committed to keeping our relationship safe and respectful by being open, supportive and honest with you. I look forward to meeting you.

I deeply appreciate the journey toward health for people struggling with their mental health and the need for caregivers around them to support the process. I honor time with caregivers and enjoy this part of the process. When working with trauma and other mental health challenges I work at the pace of the client, to facilitate healing and growth using a variety of techniques and tools. Another part of my work that I truly enjoy is the supervision aspect with either new clinicians, or experienced clinicians desiring support, recovery from burnout, or rediscovering joy.

These are unique and challenging times. We are faced with very real stressors that can trigger lots of anxiety. What is happening right now can also activate past trauma. Financial concerns, health concerns, worrying about loved ones, having to adjust to living with each other...it can bring out the best and the worst of us. If you have already been struggling with disconnect, unresolved conflict and hurt, or unhealthy ways of coping, now is the time to reach out. I have a very compassionate yet practical approach and focus on providing you with tools that will enable you to make positive life and love changes

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, self-doubt, or challenging relationships with yourself & others? Do these issues affect your day-to-day life and your ability to function at home and work with ease? If you feel overwhelmed, disheartened, exhausted, discontent and disconnected from your true Self and your own needs, and wondering if there should be more to life than this, you are not alone. Now more than ever, people are feeling uncertain & lost about finding their place in life and moving past their past experiences. Pushing your pain down & keeping it a secret creates more pain. Liberation is possible!

Are you living a life so hectic, it feels as if you're trapped in a hamster wheel? Do you feel like your body, heart, and relationships are taking the toll? Or you may be realizing that your worth has been defined by stories that no longer resonate. You may also be craving balance, wholeness, and connection, but you're not sure where to begin. These moments can be scary because they force us to re-examine ideas about who we are–to ourselves and to each other. They are life junctures that hold transformative potential.

Are you like many people, struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, feeling down and not sure how to turn things around? It’s very common to feel all of these things. Life can be incredibly difficult between work, relationships, all our responsibilities and finding and living a purposeful life that feels fulfilling. Can things change for you? Can you turn it around? Absolutely you can. While the way that I work with my families and my adult clients differs in ways, the core of it is the same, I remind you that you are loved, I teach you to love yourself, help you balance self-love and love for others in healthy and empowering ways.

Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy and often put more energy into your relationships than you do into your own self? Do you struggle with body image, especially within relationships and you worry about what others think of you? Do you often feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed that you find yourself procrastinating tasks or turning to easy fixes? I can help you let go of feelings of perfectionism and embrace self-compassion to feel engaged in your day-to-day again.

My experience in working in mental health services over the last 17 years - both adults and youth - has allowed me to meet clients with a variety of backgrounds and individual needs. An ideal client is one who is in need of a therapist that is a skilled listener who can help them develop and achieve their goals.

Hi, I'm Karalee. I'm here to listen if you have been feeling like life is overwhelming and difficult lately, and you are struggling to cope. The patterns you repeat are no longer serving you, and you want to find more connection and belonging in life. Maybe it's been hard to find space to take a moment and check in with yourself, to breathe, to feel. You might be feeling increasingly uncertain, anxious, or depressed. My goal is to provide you with a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore past and present challenges in your life, process emotions, and find new coping skills. Help is available, you are not alone.

Passionate about working with children, youth, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety and depression, struggling to create stability, self-control and self-awareness. Individuals who experience cultural segregation, bias and stigma learn to overcome silence and implement action and advocacy skills. With the mindset of acceptance, trauma informed lens will target distressing negative thoughts, feelings, behaviours and reactions by adjusting ones relationship with those experiences and develop proactive and healthy coping tools; living a life full of clarity and genuineness.

Most of us desire to live our lives with a sense of confidence, purpose, and closeness with others, but difficult life experiences can lead us to build walls for protection and safety, and as a result, we can lose our sense of connection with ourselves and others. If you are here, you may be feeling some combination of lost, alone, stuck, anxious, afraid, unsure, frustrated or angry, overwhelmed, grief, worried, low, sad and/or depressed. We can work together to help you bring a greater sense of control, satisfaction, and ease into your life.

I feel honoured and privileged to walk alongside my resilient clients in their personal healing journeys. I work with many clients who feel like they are not themselves. My clients often describe "knowing" one thing to be reality but "feeling" like something else is true. Through EMDR, I can help support this integration between mind and body so you can meet your goals.

Hello! I'm Meredith MacKenzie and I help women who feel out of control with food, tired of swinging from dieting to binge eating, leading to feel shame about their eating. You know the ins and outs of "healthy eating" but it just doesn't seem to work, and you blame yourself. You want freedom from food, to be able to eat what you love without overeating, and have a better relationship with your body. You want to be more attuned to your hunger and fullness cues and at peace with food, so you can more fully participate in your life without your feelings about your body or emotional eating looming over you. You deserve more.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
