Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Ancaster, ON

I primarily work with children (ages 5+), youth and adults with varying mental health conditions, including; Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, Trauma, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and other complex mental health issues. My goal is to ensure my clients feel safe and supported throughout the therapeutic process, and comfortable with the direction of their own treatment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress of daily life? Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed. You may feel burdened by past trauma or a current crisis, or maybe you are experiencing conflict at home with family, friends or at work. It can sometimes seem impossible to find balance, inner peace, and happiness. Firstly, you are not alone, but your struggles are personal, and can feel isolating and lonely. The truth is that many people find it difficult to acknowledge that they are suffering, and reaching out for help can be tough to do. Sometimes, we forget that taking care of ourselves is important and also worth the effort.

Are you having difficulty coping with stress, anxiety, fears or life transitions? You may find yourself feeling inadequate, hopeless, and lacking motivation. These struggles impact your daily life, work, and relationships. Physical symptoms like insomnia and headaches may also be wearing you down. But you’re at a point where you’re ready to reclaim your well-being and discover lasting relief. More than anything, you’re prepared for a transformative change that leads to a life filled with peace, self-assurance, and a brighter future. I’m here to guide you on this journey.

I know that asking for help can be scary. I also know first hand, that facing difficult times with the right supports and help in place, is easier than facing them alone. Whether you are struggling with intense emotions and thoughts, or it is a behavior that you can not seem to get under control, you do not have to navigate this by yourself. My passion is helping individuals, parents and families learn how to cope and manage more effectively, in order to achieve meaningful change today and hope for the future.

A warm welcome to my practice, Avenue Psychologist. Are you having personal difficulties or perhaps concerned about your child? Is there a family issue you're hoping to resolve? I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist and I work with children, adolescents, adults and families. I use individual therapy for anxiety, depression and other psychological disorders, and I use individual counselling and family-based therapeutic approaches to help clients cope with life transitions, behavioural problems and loss. My practice is located in West Brant, but currently I am using online services and am not holding any sessions in person.

Are you feeling stuck, stressed, anxious, hopeless or like no one gets you? Are you stuck in a loop of unhelpful coping habits, worst-case thinking, or confusion? Are you hoping to move forward after experiencing a trauma? Maybe you don’t know what you’re going through or can’t find the words to express your struggles. Perhaps you’ve tried talk therapy and you’re finding it’s just not for you. If any of these sound like you, I’d love to help – let me introduce myself. I’m Kathryn – an art therapist and psychotherapist that takes a warm, creative and free flowing approach to therapy, where humour is always welcome!

"Sometimes when it feels that life is falling apart, it is actually falling into place". During our life's journey all of us experience times of loss, despair, and loneliness. During these occasions we are often unable to see the patterns we need to change. I have previously spent many years practicing as a nurse. I came to realize that healing the body was less meaningful if the mind is struggling with personal pain.

I am a registered psychotherapist who has been in the mental health field for 18+ years. My life experiences have brought me to my passion of neurodiversity. As a mother of two children on the spectrum, I have learned to help my children and also myself survive the hardest of times. Are you a parent that has a child on the spectrum or yourself on the spectrum? Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck worrying about your child's future or your own? I work with families, teens and young adults looking to manage relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, life difficulties etc.

Sometimes life can be difficult and these challenges can cause a sense of suffering in ourselves and those we care about. It can all feel overwhelming and exhausting, making it difficult to know what to do or where to turn for help. It takes courage to reach out for support so that you don’t have to suffer alone. Counselling can provide the opportunity to learn to share and process one’s struggles in a safe and non-judgemental space. Learning how to foster self-directed kindness and self-compassion can help nurture an individual’s personal growth and resilience.

My passion is to help people regain their inner peace and happiness to live a pleasurable fulfilled life. Life is full of ups, downs and challenges that we are often not prepared for. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but the what matters comes from how many times you get up. I believe the greatest accomplishment is who you become while picking yourself back up. Each new day gives you a fresh start to get back on track and to have the courage to rebuild yourself the way you desire. In therapy we would work collaboratively to address your needs and to determine how best to meet these needs.

We all have within us a profound sense of knowing that helps us to live the life we ought to be living. When our lives are not aligning with this inner wisdom, we experience isolation, depression, and feel unfulfilled, stuck, and bored. We find ourselves in old repetitive patterns, jobs, and relationships that are no longer serving us. I can help you address these issues and guide you to explore the deepest parts of your self so that you can begin to live your authentic life.

I dedicated 17 years of my career to the mental health field, initially as a mental health nurse then transitioned to psychotherapy. Along this transformative journey, i developed a passion for addiction treatment, and trauma therapy, depression, and anxiety. My current clients say my skills I offer are practical and helpful! I am open to working with people who are struggling, feeling stuck, or emotionally tangled! Or just feel to vent, then we figure out what areas are keeping up from going forward. I would like to add value and see my clients flourish. No need to put up a facade, am open to help and most of all listen.

Life is unpredictable. We can get thrown curve balls at any stage of life. I see myself as someone who can help navigate stress, life transitions and coping with loss. Even in the darkest of times, I truly believe that people are resilient. I want to meet my clients where they are at, to help them be kinder to themselves and to support them as they make courageous steps towards change and personal growth. As a certified addiction counselor and trained in trauma sensitive EMDR, I believe in a holistic approach where a balanced mind-body connection is important to our over all well-being.

Healing looks different for everyone, and that is why we begin with a full understanding of your experiences and the context in which they occur. I work collaboratively with you to explore those meanings and help you gain agency over these narratives to live a life with more space for compassion and curiosity in mind, body, and experience. Whatever you are working through, I respect you as the expert. My role is not to analyze, pathologize, or label you, it is to understand you as your whole self, including your experiences, identities, values, and how you have been impacted by the current systems that are set in place.

I would be most helpful to clients who may be struggling at school (K-university), have ADHD or symptoms of inattention/hyperactivity/impulsivity, deal with emotional and behavioural disturbance, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm, have social interaction difficulties, deal with low self-esteem, have chronic illnesses or pains (this only for up to 18 years old), or struggle with adjustment to a new situation, whether it is a regular stage of life (e.g., moving out of house to a university, parenthood) or tragic life changes (e.g., grief, loss of loved ones). Consultation with schools is my specialty as well.

My approach to therapy involves integrating an individual's unique strengths with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I specialize in providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and individuals living with a developmental disability. Drawing upon my experiences working in community-based and inpatient mental health services, I feel my role as a therapist is to provide a collaborative, personalized form of support that facilitates movement towards an individual's full potential. I utilize a number of techniques and therapies including Mindfulness, Trauma-informed care, Play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I am a Child and Family Counsellor and Certified Parent Coach. I help individuals, children, teens and families move from simply surviving life's challenges to thriving. My work focuses on challenges of self-esteem, anxiety, sadness, bullying, divorce. I work along side parents when they find teens off track and struggling with the demands of our disordered society. I also offer individual counselling where through story, education, and gentle reflection, we find new ways to understand, new eyes to see, and new words to speak.

Using an integrative approach, I can help you learn how to let go of old patterns that no longer work, and manage the fear and uncertainty that often arises from some of life’s greatest challenges such as illness, separation/divorce, or the death of a loved one.
