Therapists in M4E

I feel grateful for the opportunity to offer my clients a safe and collaborative space where they can feel heard, supported and validated. In facing such difficult times, there is a need now more than ever to ensure we take care of our Mental Health. Each client has their own subjective experiences that deserve the chance to be explored and met with empathy. Together we can practice a way of coping that works specifically for you, and your needs. Feel free to reach out at: alyssa.truerootstherapy@gmail.com

Seeking out therapy is a powerful step towards creating capacity in your life for deeper happiness and contentment. I support my clients in their work to gain self-knowledge, change ineffective emotional and behavioral patterns, explore relationships, and enrich their personal wellness. I bring with me extensive experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, past trauma, and struggles with self esteem. I integrate therapeutic methods such as CBT, Emotion Focused, and Narrative Therapy but assess the individual where they are to determine best approach.

If you're craving understanding, empowerment, and transformation, this is your moment. Whether you're grappling with ADHD, OCD, multicultural identity, kink-positive lifestyles, or aiming to manage unpleasant symptoms, foster self-acceptance, enhance relationships, or explore personal growth, you're in the right place. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, develop coping strategies, and build resilience, paving the way for a life aligned with your true self.

Book your first session for free - I offer low cost therapy for individuals needing support with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and more. Whether this is your first time engaging in counselling or you have engaged in counselling in the past, beginning the journey to healing and self-discovery takes strength and courage. Life can stretch our ability to navigate the challenges we encounter, where we may need help finding the right tools and skills to support our journey. It is essential for me to create a safe and trusting environment for you to explore your thoughts and emotions

My experience, education and trauma informed approach to my practice allows me to effectively navigate through the initial stages of crisis. As a registered social worker, I provide integrated support and client tailored intervention to children (9+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have provided psychotherapy services to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, ED's, PTSD, self-esteem and physical disability as a result of a motor vehicle accident. As well, I have years of experience providing psychosocial assessment and supportive counselling to youth through child focused mentorship services.

Need things to change? Life can be tough at times, and navigating through the many challenges alone can be stressful and isolating. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field (teaching counselling, workshop facilitation, supervising, therapy…) Whether it be searching for meaning and happiness, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, working through trauma or crises, building relationship skills like conflict management and communication, or finding more work-life balance, I take a client-centred approach to guide and support people in reaching their goals.

I bring a gentle, curious and attuned approach to my work with individuals, families and couples. Together, we will examine patterns in your life, identify and expand your capacity to cope with the challenges you experience and deepen your relationship with self and others. I view therapy as taking a course on oneself and an opportunity to evolve. My work is often focused on supporting clients to understand, experience and tolerate emotions and to shift out of behavours, thoughts and coping that are no longer serving them.

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. As a social worker, I use my lived experience as part of the BIPOC community to help you navigate difficult relationships, and their impact on your life. Oftentimes, the ones who you care about the most contribute to the most amount of pain. My gentle presence helps you navigate the push and pull of wanting these connections, while also maintaining a sense of safety and personal peace. Session by session, we collaboratively make “right” the common conflicting feelings that arise in complex relationships, so you have more space “inside” to be the adult you want to be.

Accepting new clients for June— I appreciate and value the distinct identity narratives and life experiences that each client brings. In my role as a Psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a supportive and understanding space for you. My aim is to assist you in achieving your unique personal goals through a collaborative and open-minded approach. Through extensive clinical training and receiving specialized knowledge, I work with folks who are experiencing challenges or issues related to relationships, sexuality, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.

Living life as you are meant to can be harboured by a painful past and worries about your future. Do you feel anxious or depressed with thinking patterns that limit your potential? Do you question yourself, have trouble with decision-making, suffer with low self-esteem and feel challenged with moving forward in your day to day life? Have you experienced setbacks because of education/career, bereavement, divorce, abuse, neglect or rejection? Although you may have lost sight of your authentic self along the way, counselling can help you gain insight, tap into your strengths and discover resources to help you heal and move forward.

Life can feel like A LOT sometimes. Overwhelming emotions, financial issues, medicating with drugs, alcohol, food or sex, sleepless nights, relationship issues, and loneliness might be some of your current realities. Issues can stem from trauma, upbringing, or current life stressors and have severe emotional and physical ramifications. These issues can be far-reaching and devastating, personally, professionally and financially. Utilizing a person-centric psychodynamic approach combined with compassion and empathy, I am here to help you create the life you want.

I specialize in supporting individuals coping with narcissistic abuse, emotional underdevelopment & dysfunctional family dynamics, enhancing relationships using the evidence-based Gottman Method, and guiding individuals towards a more optimal and efficient lifestyle. Design the life you want by addressing your limited beliefs, trauma, and develop a new and empowered you.

Effective June 11th, I am welcoming new clients. With over 19 years experience, I help adults, teens and pre-teens (9-18) find hope and regain balance. Perhaps you've suffered a loss that has rocked your world or you're tired of feeling so anxious and stressed all the time. Or you're worried about your child who is being bullied or struggling with their mood, anxiety, or friendships. Or maybe you're re-evaluating your decisions at home or with work. Whatever it is, if you're feeling unsure, unsettled, or just not quite feeling like you these days and you're seeking a greater sense of ease, allow me to support you.

Are you looking to make change? I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. I am passionate about empowering clients to make changes in their lives and the lives of others. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of health/wellbeing, mental health and addictions and have worked with individuals, couples and families coping with a wide range of concerns. I offer an inclusive and accepting therapeutic space for all clients and bring to my work a non-judgmental, warm, and interactive style.

I will work to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. We will work to empower you to to tap into your inner resilience and strength, allowing you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence. As a multifaceted Psychotherapist, my practice revolves around helping those who are navigating through a myriad of mental and emotional challenges. From anxiety and depression to ADHD, grief, addiction, and other complex life circumstances, I would provide support and guidance through a transformative journey towards self-discovery

My specialization is working with Indigenous people. I know how life can get overwhelming and direction in life can become complicated. Together we will weave through those difficulties and find strategies and self discovery. My approach is friendly, respectful and professional. I have a passion to support those who struggle with addictions and work towards recovery. Additionally, I want to support the families who have loved ones struggling with substance abuse.

I have over 30 years of experience working with people struggling with a broad range of issues, including relationships, life transitions, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma and loss. I work with adults and youth, individuals, couples and families seeking support in sorting through the challenges - both ordinary and extraordinary - that we encounter in our lives.

Do you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed? Do you struggle to feel happy, even when things are going well? Do you put too much pressure on yourself, or tell yourself that you “should” or “shouldn’t” feel the way that you do? These feelings are incredibly common. Therapy can help you feel happier, braver, and more fulfilled. If you are reading this, you have probably already considered the benefits of therapy. That’s a great first step!

I'll help untangle the messy feelings and thoughts that might be weighing you down, getting in the way, and holding you back from being your best you. Together we'll identify what you want and how to get you there. I know the wild ride of going through changes and transitions in life, from becoming a parent, getting divorced, and changing career paths. I understand the messiness of expectations, disappointments, joys, and hopes that come with making your way through your days, experiences, and relationships.
