Therapists in L6C

Therapy can be a powerful tool when we encounter challenging life events, major adjustments, or are feeling overwhelmed and distressed. I offer a warm ‘landing place’: person-focused, strengths-based, inclusive counselling based on building a positive client-therapist relationship for children, teens, and adults. I am kind and collaborative in my approach and want to work with you to clarify your issues and develop a plan to address them, while also building skills of resilience and better mental health. I strive to always maintain an anti-oppressive practices perspective and am an LGBTQ+ ally.

Salut, I'm Céleste (she/they). I specialize in Queer and polyamorous counselling for individuals, couples, and dyadic ENM relationships. I also provide francophone services. As a Queer French Canadian, I bring an understanding of intersectional identities and experiences to my counseling practice.

Hey, I am Ida- welcome! My approach is completely client-centred and grounded in empathy, authenticity and collaboration. Inclusivity and integrity are primary pillars in my practice with rapport-building being a fundamental component of a competent counselling culture. I aim to support individuals in finding balance within their lives and in their minds.

Are you looking for a therapist with lived experience and deep understanding of transgender or queer identities? Do you need a therapist who understands the challenges of navigating dating, situationships, sexuality, and relationships in a heteronormative world? As a queer trauma therapist, I dedicate myself to supporting clients in reclaiming their freedom, joy, and self-worth. I specialize in trauma and complex trauma healing. Through a relational approach, I will help you foster a sense of worthiness and security within yourself. You deserve to be authentically you, you deserve to feel joy in life.

You have already demonstrated the courage to seek positive changes in your life by viewing my profile. Are you struggling with trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship issues, or major life changes? There comes a time when professional help is needed to cope with life's challenges, as it's hard to walk the journey alone. Please allow me to introduce myself: a psychotherapist, an observer of human nature, a wounded healer, and a keeper of antifragility. Let me accompany you on your journey to healing and achieving the life you desire.

Having lived in Asia and now in Canada has blessed me with an acute ability to appreciate multicultural differences and understand diverse issues to help you in your path to emotional healing. I work with people who have experienced trauma, or are struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, ADHD, OCD and other mental health disorders. I also work with people who are experiencing interpersonal relationship issues, career challenges, self-esteem issues, anger management issues, and other life's challenges.

Are you experiencing stress and anxiety during your prenatal journey or fearing childbirth? Are you grappling with the anxieties of impending parenthood? Do you find yourself overwhelmed during the postpartum period, unsure of how to soothe your crying baby despite trying everything? Perhaps you're navigating the challenging terrain of parenting a toddler through temper tantrums, seeking strategies to enhance your enjoyment of parenthood. Or do you feel judged as a parent, tired of the ongoing comments from people around you?

Life is short yet long; sometimes, happiness feels fleeting, and most of the time, we face various challenges: a family of origin, academic pressure, romantic relationships, marriage, parenting, career anxiety, illness, grief, life transitions, etc. When facing these big and small "hurdles," do you also find yourself pulled by different voices within, in need of a place where you can be seen and heard? Fate may play tricks on us, but who knows if this is not an opportunity for growth? I am willing to create a safe, warm space where we can listen to those voices, understand our different needs and find meaning in our experiences.

Hi, my name is Chrissy Gallo - RP (Qualifying), MACP, CYC, SSW. Sometimes, our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, & Polyvagal Theory.

Are you putting everyone else needs above your own? Are you a mom/parent having trouble finding yourself back to you? You may be struggling with baby blues or postpartum depression? Or maybe you are "stuck" in a role, forgetting sometimes that you also are a person, a friend or a colleague? Do you sometimes find it difficult to manage your emotions when they reach the boiler point? Would you enjoy having more self-worth to love & invest in you as well? What about having more time for what truly lights your heart? Or do the things you promised you'll do "sometime later" while holding less guilt and shame ?
