Life has no shortage of challenges and it can be overwhelming to balance our goals and obligations in the best circumstances. When we’re dealt a difficult hand, we may feel overburdened with all that the world asks of us. I want you to know that there are resources designed to help you. If you're navigating the complexities of trauma, grief, anxiety, or major life changes, I am here for you. I believe that everyone has their own timeline for their self-healing and self-development journey. I also believe that profound healing can be achieved through authentically connecting with others. We don’t have to embark on this journey alone.

Life is difficult. I work with clients to relieve pain and stress in their lives through somatic therapy, narrative therapy, psychoanalytic theory, and personality theory while using strategies such as CBT, with the goal of living a more meaningful life. As clients discover more about their morals and values, they understand more about their behaviour and emotions. Psychotherapy can be an incredible experience; I encourage clients to explore what is meaningful and purposeful in their life.

We all need to feel supported along our journey towards health and healing. Whether that’s finding company with the parts of ourselves that have become discarded and neglected over the years, or support in taking those first courageous steps towards living a life we truly and deeply yearn for and deserve. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and free from judgement. My work is deeply informed by the field of relational neuroscience, grounded in humanistic principles, and harnesses somatic based healing practices. Every part of you is welcome in this space of unconditional acceptance, non-judgement, and compassion.

I am a counsellor and EMDR therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma and working with those seeking change to their substance use or other addictive behaviours. I use a holistic approach, combining somatic and talk-based therapies. Somatic approaches like mindfulness and EMDR help to process negative experiences in the body, building safety and grounding. These are paired with talk-based methods like CBT and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to equip you with tools for challenging emotions, negative beliefs, and other triggers. I encourage you to check out my website to learn more about EMDR and the other work that I do :).

Life is full of anxiety, grief, failure, conflict, disappointment, insecurity, and isolation. Sometimes we get entangled in our thoughts, lose touch with the present, and act in self-defeating ways. Maybe you’re living a life that’s not yours, all you know is the expectations of others, or you’ve lost touch with your identity. Perhaps you’re in the midst of a painful transition - an injury, career change, break-up, or loss - and the path forward is unclear. There’s a nagging feeling that something just isn’t quite right. These are all normal experiences of a full human life, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Whether this is for yourself, family, dependent, or relationship, I am deeply passionate about mental health and certain positive change can occur together. While therapy can seem nebulous, I believe in demystifying the counselling process, using evidence-based best practices, and empowering you through education and insights to address the roots of your concerns.

I work with women who are looking for therapy to deal with ongoing patterns and issues in their life that they are no longer willing to live with. You might be anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or in a state of chronic stress. You may be dealing with health, body image, relationships, or career challenges. Life transitions and stages can bring about more chaos in one's life when we haven't healed earlier traumas and wounds. Whether it's hitting 30, having children, or menopause, I will work with you to get at the root of your issues and do the emotional work to allow healing and change.

Madison believes that it takes courage to begin the counselling process. She admires her clients’ courage to work hard to improve their lives by doing deep trauma work, changing unhealthy behaviours, and building stronger relationships. She listens nonjudgmentally and helps her clients to develop self-compassion and self-understanding. Her clients also feel a sense of safety in her direct approach. Clients reflect to Madison that she creates an environment that supports vulnerable engagement which promotes meaningful change.

Asking yourself questions like these: Is this authentic for me? Can I be me? Am I allowed to be myself? What is life asking me at this time? You sense that there is another way forward in your life, but find your self bumping up against sticky patterns, old habits, and blind spots - your intuition says that change and greater wellbeing is possible. What is holding you back? It may be time to look closer. Trauma trained and informed, and I inhabit a blend of empathetic concern with an edge of compassionate coaching, because it takes a delicate balance of care and encouragement to support true learning and integrated lifestyle change

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in their lives in different ways and are looking for a fresh perspective and alignment with current goals. My clients arrive at counselling with challenges related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship, addiction, life transitions, stress, and grief and loss. So often in facing life's challenges we feel alone and helpless. You are not alone - change is possible. I am dedicated to bringing my full presence, knowledge, and experience to our relationship to support you in fostering the changes you seek in your inner and outer worlds.

Change is always hard. Whether something or someone in our life needs to change — or it already has — or we've decided that something inside ourselves needs to shift, it's never easy. But living with the feeling that something isn't right is hard too — it can leave us with frustration and resentment in our relationships, dip us down into depression and exhaustion, or put us in a pattern of all-too-familiar anxiousness, submissiveness, and anger. If any of this sounds familiar, counselling can help.

I'm very passionate about the therapeutic process and how transformative it can be. I believe that by sharing a safe space where we are able to be seen, heard, and understood, beautiful things can happen and a healthy space inside of us open, allowing traumas and emotions to move through us.

The best way out is through—Robert Frost... And that's precisely where we'll go. Carefully, with skill, and while building resources, we can uncover that clear and peaceful part of you whose voice wants to be remembered. We can address the symptoms on the surface while looking beyond them to the root causes of your distress. Stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationships, food and body image issues, identity queries, goals, values: it's all welcome here. I've worked as an Eating Disorder and Body Image Coach for 5 years, teaching HAES and Intuitive eating principles in International boarding schools with youth and adults.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Certified Art Therapist (DVATI). I work from a culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, inclusive framework. I use a creative process because it engages people on many levels and allows them to express themselves and their difficulties in new and unexpected ways. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can work to shift these challenges into new perceptions. This process can be intimidating for some, who think “I can’t draw very well”. These skills are not a necessity, as the therapeutic work can happen as much in the process itself as it does when exploring the product.

Whether you are feeling stuck in life, experiencing a transition or loss, or feeling disconnected from your core self, counselling can help. My clients are typically high-functioning and competent individuals, yet struggle on the inside with issues such as anxiety, emptiness, identity and recurring unhelpful patterns which affect them, their relationships, and other areas of their lives. What if you viewed the parts of you that feel stuck or the issues that you experience as profound opportunities for growth and transformation?

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in some aspect of your life, these are all things we can work on together in counselling.

First, congrats on seeking help. Perhaps you've been trying to manage and change on your own up until now. Feeling like you need to be able to "handle" everything that life throws at you. Like you "should" be able to figure it all out somehow. Putting effort into changing, only to find yourself repeating patterns, feeling defeated, and stuck about what to do next. It is exhausting! Choosing to finally get help may feel hard, but honestly, from here it can get easier. You're getting off the rollercoaster of doing it alone! I've seen 1st hand for so many people how counselling can be a life changing.

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.

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.
