Women's Issues Therapists in H4A

Maneuvering through the different stages of "Life Journey" can be fulfilling as well as filled with periods of high stress, and emotional imbalance. Through the guiding principles of dignity, diversity, and self-determination, individual therapy brings growth by focusing on your strengths and resilience. Couple therapy can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection in all stages of their relationship. Through the process of couple therapy, I vow to help you understand and become unstuck from the repetitive cycle of miscommunication, stepping on each other's toes, and triggering unhealed wounds.

Taking the first step towards change is often the hardest step. I am here to support you in identifying and developing the skills needed to achieve your therapeutic goals. As a clinical social worker with 20 years of experience, my private practise focuses on individual therapy, family therapy and parenting. I work with children, adolescents and adults with issues such as, but not limited to, anxiety, low self esteem, social skills, transitions and relational issues. I also work extensively with parents experiencing challenges to establish a positive parenting approach that works for them and their child(ren).

I am a licensed psychologist with the Order of Psychologists of Quebec in private practice. My main treatment approach is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). I specialize in working with adolescents, and adult clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. I typically see adolescents who are overwhelmed by their emotions (temperamentally sensitive/perceptive), are anxious/depressed, struggling with school/peer problems, and transitional issues.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? I believe it is important for you to feel comfortable with a therapist who can listen well to you in a caring, nonjudgmental way. My style is respectful, empathic and collaborative in order to help you better understand yourself. I am a licenced clinical psychologist with more than 17 years of experience. I work with individuals and adolescents who have problems such as depression, anxiety, loss and mourning, addiction, self-esteem and relationship problems. I can help you feel better about yourself, experience more intimacy in your relationships and leave the past behind.

From the first phone contact and the moment you walk through the office (or virtual) door, I will welcome you with a down-to-earth style, listening ear, a caring heart, and active coping support. Whether you struggle with anxiety, OCD, mood difficulties, tics, relationship troubles or other difficulties, you will feel safe, supported, and seen as you process your thoughts and feelings, develop new insight, and learn new skills to overcome your difficulties. With this approach, therapy can help restore your sense of calm, bring peace of mind, and foster a greater feeling of well-being in your daily life.

In my 18 years of working as a psychologist I have met with all types of people facing a myriad of challenges. What I have learned over the years is every one of us is doing our very best to get through life. Sometimes, we need help learning new ways to be our best selves. My goal in therapy is guiding people not just to survive, but to thrive. I will meet you where you are, and build from there. I like to teach skills that can be used long after therapy has ended. I focus not only on healing trauma and reducing symptoms, but I also help others find meaning and fulfillment in order to enjoy life again.

I work with older teens and adults who often feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated with parts of themselves or their relationships. Many of them are searching for more intentional enjoyment of their lives. I believe in each person's ability to grow, learn, and transform longstanding patterns in their lives. I have 8 years of experience working in community, hospital and CLSC settings. I currently work at Dawson College, and have experience assisting youth and young adults struggling with anxiety, panic symptoms, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, OCD and intrusive thoughts, relationship issues and sexual violence.

Hardships are a part of the human experience, but you do not have to struggle alone. I offer a safe space to be heard and supported, a place to grow and learn. I'm here to guide you to reflect on where you are and where you'd like to be. I hold an interest and expertise in working with BIPoC/racialized communities, specifically individuals of South Asian, North African, and Middle Eastern descent. As a first generation Canadian I have experience with carving an identity as a person of colour, and understand the challenges of navigating different cultural landscapes, familial expectations, and cultural stigma.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here! In my work with clients, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship and believe therapy works best when the therapist and client are partners in exploring the client’s inner world together. My approach is eclectic and combines attachment/ family systems /psycho-dynamics / CBT, RLT, IFS and EFT therapies.

I am a clinical social worker who works with individuals and couples. I offer support for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, health-related issues, relationship issues or work-related stress (among other things). Whether you are looking for coping strategies, conflict resolution skills, or a neutral perspective, I would be happy to assist you on your journey.

Although we all inhabit Earth, it often feels like each of us exists on our own planet. I would be honored to have the opportunity to explore yours. I've created a space where you can talk about your life, figure out what you want to change, and understand why you feel the way you do. In my practice, I integrate cultural understanding, strength-based strategies, art, and solution-focused tools to create a tailored approach for exploring and shifting deep-rooted emotions and unhelpful thoughts. My work is informed by attachment theories, and I place a strong emphasis on personal growth and understanding you as a whole person.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and couple & family therapist, offering psychotherapy services to individuals, couples & families. My practice is attachment-based and trauma informed. It integrates different therapeutic approaches, elements from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness and Compassion, to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I work with clients struggling with all types of life cycle transitions such as parenthood, co-parenting challenges, separation/divorce and those undergoing or affected by a chronic illness or a disability. I am also experienced in bereavement (grief) therapy.

I support people in cultivating their inner strength and wisdom to overcome challenges they are facing. My aim is to help people alleviate past and present suffering– feelings of grief, shame, anger, or anxiety– in order to lead healthier, more empowered and fulfilling lives. In practice, I encourage a collaborative therapeutic relationship, whereby all parties play an active role and clients feel feeling safe and supported to express themselves. With an MSW from McGill, and an ongoing career as a professional artist, I integrate my clinical skills, creativity and intuitive nature into my work.

Seeking support is often a challenging endeavour. For many, it can be scary to speak about their struggles and reflect on past experiences that have impacted them today. I strive to create a therapeutic alliance that allows for feelings of safety and openness, so that you feel able to share your story. I offer virtual counselling sessions, providing a convenient and accessible way to support you on your journey to emotional well-being.

Whether it's a new baby, the loss of a loved one, a betrayal, tension in relationships, or a recent relocation... sometimes we lose our footing. You may find that your usual coping tools are no longer bringing you the same relief. Unlike blogs and books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, or unlike your friends and family who mean well, but are too emotionally-invested to give you clear guidance, I offer you effective tools, unique to your needs and situation, in a non-judgmental and safe space. I’m a bilingual (English & French) somatic psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Quebec, Colorado and California.

As a social work trained psychotherapist (Ontario) with over a decade of private practice experience, I hope to bring an open and accepting mind to a wide variety of clientele. Finding a good fit in a therapist is so hard, especially if it is your first time reaching out for help. It can be daunting. To me a good therapeutic space is one in which trust and compassion can be established, where a person can feel both supported and sometimes gently challenged, and where a relationship is created in which one can feel not only heard, but also understood.

The human experience, while shared, can sometimes feel lonely and isolating. I am a trauma-informed, anti-oppression centered therapist, who has worked with people who are experiencing difficult life circumstances. We can work on depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, confusion about life direction, motivation and relationships. Working together, we can problem-solve and build capacity towards coping with difficulties. I am person-centered, and use psychodynamic, and somatic approaches to help you meet your goals.

People-pleasers, perfectionists, worriers, and warriors ages 6 to 66: this is your call to action. You want to be more in touch with yourself but you have been held back by anxiety, trauma, and people taking advantage of you. As part of the LGBTQ2IA+ and geeky communities, you sometimes feel like you're cast aside and rarely understood. It is so tempting to give up, but you continue to persevere! You've been fighting on your own for so long that now you're ready for some more support from someone who won't ask you to educate them about being queer/the MCU/BDSM/pop culture references.

I provide support and guidance to girls and women to fully and authentically come into themselves. I understand the complexities of the daily experince of being female in our society and how difficult it is for women to be strong, caring and assertive in our society. I take a women-centered approach to mental health and do not label behaviors and emotions as disordered but to understand these as responses in the context of your life. I strive to help my clients understand that we have to face our discomfort first before we can let it go. This takes great courage and vulnerability on your part.

There are so many unknowns right now. It's natural to be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, and unfocused. Dealing with all the current stressors means personal relationships are also strained. My clients seek out my expertise for help with pain from past experiences, feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed. Low self-esteem and self-sabotage are two of my specialties. Working together you will gain clarity and learn reliable tools to create a grounded, empowered, deeply contented life.

Throughout our personal lives and narratives, we face different experiences, challenges, changes, relationships, and obstacles. As an art therapist, I want to provide my compassion and empathy to support you throughout your journey. My objective is to collaboratively work with you to better understand your needs; to accompany you to safely explore and visualize your feelings, thoughts, and worries; and to create a potential space to witness your inner strengths. When words are not enough to describe your experiences, you will be able to use colors, drawing, painting, storytelling, images and many art materials to express yourself.

Undertaking psychotherapy takes an act of courage. It is not easy to turn and face the very challenges that are underlying the symptoms you are experiencing. Yet, facing these obstacles head-on is exactly what can lead to profound emotional, physical and spiritual transformations. We each possess the capacity to live fulfilling, meaningful lives if unobstructed. Finding out what is contributing to your symptoms and what messages they are bringing can lead to your making the types of changes that can transform your life. I look forward to taking this journey with you!

Life can be challenging for all of us at times. I’m here to witness your pain, and together, we will find a path forward. I believe successful therapy starts with a warm, caring, open and authentic relationship. I provide client-centred, flexible and collaborative therapy tailored to your goals and needs. I pay special attention to the broader contexts your life story situates in, including your family relationships, social circles, culture, religion, the larger society and beyond. I focus on your strengths and values as sources of healing, and together, we will navigate with mindfulness and compassion.

I am a licensed psychotherapist who works with adults experiencing difficulties related to stress, emotions, relationships, and adjustment to challenging life transitions, such as parenthood, divorce, or loss of a loved one. I can also provide help with insomnia and other sleep-related problems. My approach with clients is collaborative, compassionate and experiential.
