Therapists in K1G

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or low confidence? Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling unmotivated, stuck, and uncertain of how to achieve the life we desire. Therapy might be just what you need to on your journey towards healing, unlocking your potential, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and becoming the person you want to be. Together, we can explore your unique experiences and challenges, and work towards building a happier, more fulfilling life.

It all begins with a first step. Maybe you're feeling burnt out or contemplating a big change. Perhaps you are exploring some of life's deeper questions. Or maybe you want to find your voice through creativity. Whatever it is, how we approach your path can make all the difference. Often it is hard to describe the kind of change we are seeking, we just know that things can't continue as they are. That feeling of uncertainty that comes with new terrain is common, and part of my role as a therapist is to assist you in exploring and defining your needs as they evolve.

Do you feel like your mind and body are working against you? Trauma and anxiety can often feel like you are at odds with yourself and the world around you. I can assist you to cultivate a foundation of calm, peace and stability so we can work on transformational healing and a deep and loving connection with yourself. I am a grassroots feminist, culturally responsive therapist. I approach my work from an integrative and relational perspective. As an Arab woman, I work within a decolonizing, anti-oppression framework.

Hello! My name is Nicky Texeira and I am currently an intern, on my journey of completing the Master’s in Arts Counseling and Psychotherapy at Yorkville University. I use a humanistic, person-centered approach to allow for personal, self discovery. I provide the space and freedom for my clients to express themselves at a comfortable pace. Cynthia Schoppmann, the owner of CJS Psychotherapy and Consulting Services and Registered Psychotherapist, will be my supervisor throughout the process.

As a therapist, my goal is to support you to live the life you want to live and become the person you want to become. I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it's important that we can create a space where you feel you can be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. Clients I see tend to experience difficulties related to mood and anxiety, or are seeking coping skills to navigate stress and the complexities of life. Outside of private practice, I am a social worker and psychotherapist in Youth Psychiatry at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.

Counselling can be quite daunting, so congratulations on taking this first step. I believe our lives are shaped by countless stories. Some are pleasant, some are challenging, and some may be buried deep inside. As Maya Angelou puts it, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I provide a warm and accepting place where you can be yourself -- with all your stories, whatever they might be. Together, we can explore what's going on in your life today, and how your past stories may be affecting you in the present.

Welcome! I'm a therapist operating out of Pink Opal Counseling. I work from a humanistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered model. I work with clients to understand how systemic and relational trauma impacts the limits they put on themselves and what they believe about the world and integrate those experiences into their lives. Every person has the capacity to heal and grow within themselves. We will work to clarify your values and examine how we can best move towards both acceptance and change in creating your most meaningful life. It is my intention to help clients become more authentic versions of themselves.

You may be feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, having distressing memories or unsure what steps to take next in your journey towards healing. If you are wanting to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, explore your early childhood, process trauma or seek support navigating present day challenges like work-life balance, relationship challenges, family life and/or more, I would be honored to help guide and support you. I provide a space for you to process challenges you may be facing, gain insight and work toward meaningful change through EMDR, CPT, mindfulness, self-compassion, emotional regulation and/or mixed interventions.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am accepting new clients. My practice services individuals, children, youth, families, and groups. We provide psychotherapy to support emotional distress, but not limited to anxiety, lack of motivation, sadness or depression, grief, feeling overwhelmed, feeling stuck in your life and relationship issues. Taking the first step can be difficult, we understand. If you are struggling with mental health issues, the team at Support & Growth Counselling Services can help. We offer a variety of counselling and psychotherapy services to ensure that you and your loved ones can build happy and healthy lives.

Undertaking therapy takes time, energy and courage. In fact, consulting a psychologist can end up being one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. Feeling accompanied, understood and listened to by someone from outside your usual circle who can bring an objective, non-judgmental perspective and offer tools and ideas for solutions to help you beyond your current suffering are some of the important things a solid therapeutic relationship can offer. Reaching out usually brings a feeling of relief and a sense of being proactive about our own lives. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information.

Are you struggling to build healthy relationships? Are you dealing with stressful family dynamics and don’t know how to navigate them? Are you looking to explore the impacts of your childhood on who you are today? I’m a licensed social worker who specializes in attachment theory, relationships and trauma. I help clients understand more about themselves and help them develop the tools they need to build the life and relationships they want.

I have both an M.Ed. in Counselling as well as a Master of Social Work, and have been working with children and families for years. Although I occasionally take on adults who are looking for a dynamic, supportive and humour-filled therapy experience, I now work mostly with children. While part of my caseload is always reserved for kids/adults dealing with trauma or complicated grief, my current passion is working with children with social, emotional and behavioural challenges. I also do a great deal of work with kids who are struggling to cope with a parent's/sibling's disability or illness - anything from cancer to PTSD.

This parenthood thing doesn’t feel like what you were expecting. From conception, through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and transitioning to parenthood, you are exhausted to a level you didn’t know was possible. Instead of the joy you expected welcoming a new baby (or two!), you’re overcome with sadness or fear. You's leaking, sore, ‘touched out’. Your body doesn’t feel like it belongs to you anymore. You're overwhelmed and this tiny bundle absorbs all your time and attention. You question "how can I be suffering so badly when I was so excited for parenthood?". You feel like you must be missing something, or defective.

Hi! I understand how overwhelming and challenging life can be at times. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, therapy can offer the support and guidance you need to move forward with confidence and resilience. As a licensed psychologist, my approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, kindness, and a deep respect for the unique experiences and perspectives of each of my clients.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Being patient, kind, and forgiving of ourselves is not usually something we learned as children. Talk therapy is not advice or guidance: it's learning to hear your own decision-making processes, noticing feelings and what needs your trying to meet, discovering your value systems, and moving forward with small deliberate changes. Together in session we will tailor the work we do to suit your specific concerns. Researching therapists, going to therapy, looking at our least helpful patterns, or deliberating on whether to stay or leave a difficult situation takes courage. I congratulate you.

Sometimes life can be a real kick in the pants, get messy, bog you down, or is just plain crappy. And that sucks. You might be experiencing difficult feelings, have challenges in connecting with others, or feel like coping with day to day stuff is too much. Maybe there have been ongoing patterns in your life that you want to stop repeating, or perhaps you have just had a big change, like a major loss, or change in your health. Whatever it may be, you recognize that you want something different for yourself. And that's a big deal.

HEY YOU! Yes, you searching through all these profiles. I know it can be tough to find the right match. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy either. Whatever your story may be, I appreciate you putting effort into addressing mental health. You are taking that step towards a better life and that is wonderful. You deserve it. Life’s stressors affect us all. It’s a part of being human. What makes the difference is whether we have the right support and tools to get through. My job is to help provide you with these and help you become the best version of yourself you can be.

Are you seeking personalized solutions to your dilemmas, mental health struggles, stress from chronic illness, or relationship difficulties? Have you suffered a loss and need support in your grieving and mourning process? Maybe you have experienced criticial incidents recently and would like to prevent post-traumatic stress and anxiety? Finally, have you experienced childood adversity or past victimization for which you would like to find a resolution? If any of the above apply, I believe my professional training and years of clinical experience could benefit you.
