Therapists in L5G

I apply evidence-based modalities, including Solution Focus Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, towards emotional regulation, self-development, anxiety and stress management. I am fluent in Hindi, with effective communication and cultural sensitivity for a diverse clientele.

With my unique nursing background and psychotherapy, I combine my years of experience in the fields of addiction and psychiatry at CAMH and my education in medicine and physiology to comprehensively address the biological, psychological and social factors contributing to your health and wellbeing. Above all, I focus on compassion and non-judgement to enable inner exploration and growth. I believe psychological healing comes from a safe, trusting environment, where we can first develop an awareness of your problems and then insight for why they are there. Together, we collaborate on solutions that work for you.

Life can bring immense challenges and losses that shake us to the core, shatter our worldview, and leave us questioning our beliefs and purpose. During these profound difficulties, we may feel alone, lost, and stuck. You don't have to walk this path alone, together we can navigate the way forward. As a person-centered therapist, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to safely support you in nurturing your inner resilience and fostering your personal growth. Together, we'll explore your personal beliefs, values, and life experiences to collaboratively develop a plan that resonates deeply with who you are.

Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

Are you navigating a recent loss? Does it feel like you are stuck in a cycle? Are you feeling weighed down by the expectations of others? Harsh inner critic? I work alongside you to help you address the areas in life that may leave you feeling stuck, make sense of the confusing pieces, and address challenges from the past, whether it's processing unresolved grief, untangling complex relationship dynamics, or challenging unrealistic expectations. Through our sessions, we will work to identify and disrupt negative patterns and create new and meaningful ways of being present.

Chances are if you have found yourself on this website, you are seeking support as you navigate the challenges that life inevitably throws our way. Whether it is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed out from the demands of career and/or family responsibilities, feeling stuck in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships or struggling with feelings of hopelessness, I'm here to support you to make values-based, practical changes so that you can realize your full potential.

At The Sacred Self Wellness Collective, we understand that making the decision to seek mental health support can come with a sense of fear and uncertainty. The notion of opening up to a stranger can seem intimidating, and can go against all the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself in the world. We understand. Should you choose to work with us, know that you will be openly embraced and accepted for exactly who you are, and exactly where you are in your process of healing. Your practitioner will work with you at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you, with no pressure or judgment. Ever.

Working with the right therapist is the single most important factor in your journey to recovery. Knowledge, experience and rapport are important factors to consider when choosing a health professional, and I encourage you to interview your prospective therapist. Please call me for a free consultation and we can discuss your circumstances in a respectful and confidential way.

Life is in full session and can be overwhelming at times! As we journey through it, it is not uncommon to experience anxiety, depression, stress and trauma along the way. This can unravel our lives in dramatic ways affecting not only us but all of our relationships and hold us back from achieving happy and fulfilling lives. I am passionate about bringing hope, healing and life balance to you using a client centered, collaborative, strengths based approach. Let me walk your path with you to help lift the weight of life's struggles and help you to overcome the obstacles that may be holding you back.

If you find yourself thinking 'my partner doesn't care', 'I do so much but it's never enough', or 'I just can't get it right', then I can help. I provide targeted therapy to couples struggling with challenges such as infidelity, emotional distance, neurodivergence, not feeling like a priority, difficulties communicating, anger, and intimacy challenges. Perhaps conflict is more frequent and you find yourselves getting caught in the same cycle over and again. Nothing seems to help and you are considering separation. I have helped countless straight and same sex couples heal from the pain and rebuild meaningful intimacy and connection.

I offer psychotherapy services to children and teenagers who struggle with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as to their parents interested in developing successful parenting strategies to support their kids overcome their struggles. I also provide comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for learning and attentional difficulties, developmental delays, and autism spectrum disorder. I provide English and French psychoeducational assessments to children with diverse developmental, learning, and socio-emotional needs.

I am a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, currently pursuing my registration with the College of Psychologists. Having worked in various clinical and forensic settings, I have developed an open awareness of the intersections of factors that shape clients’ mental health and well-being. I am respectful and considerate of cultural and contextual factors when offering support. My approach is warm, empathic, and grounded in humanistic principles while utilizing evidence-based interventions to help my client achieve his, her or their goals.

I am a registered psychotherapist, with almost 15 years of clinical experience, specifically in areas of Depression, OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias, and anger. However, you don’t need to suffer from a psychological disorder in order to benefit from psychotherapy. At my private practice, iMind Psychotherapy, I also work individuals facing a wide range of challenges, such as employment stress; academic pressure; relationship and communication difficulties; sleep-related issues; self-esteem; excessive worry; as well as personal and work-related injuries.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists. I have extensive training and experience in Mindfulness modalities and Play and Drama Therapy. I work with children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, ADHD symptoms, Autism, or social difficulties. I offer a caring and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Coming to psychotherapy is an opportunity to work on issues that weigh heavily on your mind and body, helping you live a more enriched, contented, and fulfilling life.

We all experience pain and blockages that get our attention and tell us that something is wrong. Seeking counselling is a natural, healthy way to take action and heal ourselves. Sometime life's challenges can be an opportunity to grow and get to know ourselves better. I work with individuals, couples and families. I enjoy working with adolescents and see all ages in my practice.

Hi! I’m Denise. My approach to counselling comes from a place of compassion and life experience. My specialties are Divorce and Grief therapy for kids (4+), teens and adults (in-person and online). I know how difficult it is to open up to others, but sometimes, we just can’t navigate the challenging and complex parts of life alone. Experiencing a death or loss, separation or divorce can be gut-wrenching; I know because I've been there. No matter your circumstances, together, we will get you through the ups and downs & everything in between. Please check with your private health insurance provider to determine your level of coverage.

Stress, life changes, human relationships, traumatic experiences, and setbacks are just some of the more frequent topics of discussion in the therapeutic environment. My role is to listen, and provide a safe, constructive space for us to find the best path to wellness by helping you identify patterns and challenge them.

Are you a parent or caregiver of a child, adolescent or young adult who is struggling with anxiety, depression, school-related concerns, or ADHD? If so, you are on the right path. I'm here to offer guidance and support to help individuals develop coping skills, overcome negative patterns, manage stress and problem solve. My ultimate goal is to help individuals become their best selves and learn strategies that will make them be more resilient. By working together, we can help you achieve these goals and as a client you will overcome bad habits, heal relationships, and achieve personal goals.

We all have seemingly insurmountable personal struggles at times. If you are troubled and not coping well on your own, you may benefit from consulting with a registered psychologist. Problems such as depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, past traumatic events, the death of a loved one, workplace stress and relationship difficulties can all be helped through pyschotherapy. Having an experienced pyschologist with whom to consult breaks the isolation you may be currently feeling and can provide you with the perspective and tools to help you move your life forward in a direction and that feels right to you.

Our assessment and therapy services are conducted by an experienced team of clinicians who joined Fleming Vigna Balmer after gaining many years of valuable experience in the public sector; for example, working in hospitals, universities, rehabilitation centres, social service agencies, and community-based clinics. As a team, we are able to offer a rich, experience-based range of clinical services. All of our clinicians are psychologists or psychological associates registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. This means we are independent practitioners licenced to assess, diagnose, and treat the full range of psychological disorders ranging from problems in living to serious mental health issues. In addition, we are consulting psychologists to the pilot recruitment programmes of a number of airlines including Air Canada, Jazz Aviation LP, and Sky Regional Airlines. At Fleming Vigna Balmer services are provided in English, French, Italian, Vietnamese, and Afrikaans.

You’ve taken one of the first and most important steps on your journey to feeling better, gaining new understanding, and finding renewed hope. I have been a practicing social worker and psychotherapist for over 10 years and believe I have the skills, experience and knowledge to support you on this journey. A solid relationship is the foundation critical to successful psychotherapy. With this in mind, I approach my work with a focus on developing a positive working relationship that will allow me to understand you, your needs, goals and the best way for us to work together to help you achieve them.

Life can be challenging. When something throws us for a loop, our usual coping strategies may not be enough and we may find ourselves feeling lost, afraid or unsure of what to do and how to manage. If you are experiencing a crisis or major life transition such as job loss, diagnosis of illness or a chronic health condition, marital or relationship crises (i.e., infidelity, abuse, separation), psychotherapy and clinical counselling can help you regain your bearings and cultivate novel coping strategies to get you back on your feet.

It takes courage to ask for help! So you have been grappling with depression, anxiety, loneliness, or emptiness. Our modern world does not help us understand what it means to be human. We become overwhelmed by relationship challenges and moral dilemmas, feeling lost and lacking meaning. Most of my clients (including couples) are interested in exploring the more profound questions in life. I can offer you a neutral, receptive space to explore your consciousness and the felt-sense experience in your body using a trauma-informed and whole-person approach. The implications of trauma are immense: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
