Lesbian Therapists in Aurora, ON

I am a registered psychotherapist with experience working in a variety of settings in the United States and Canada. Over the past decade, I have supported hundreds of clients in making important life changes including increasing self-esteem, improving control over emotions and moods, and gaining a better understanding of themselves. My relationship with my clients usually begins with the question, “How will we know when we’ve done what we’ve set out to do?” This ensures that we both recognize important signposts in your journey to recovery, however you define "recovery".

I have over 15 years of clinical experience in adult and children's mental health. I provide assessments and treatment services for children, youth, adults, couples and families. I work with individuals experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, bullying, marital difficulties, bereavement and other life challenges. In addition, I administer psychological assessments to better understand the behavioural, emotional and learning challenges your child or you as an adult may be experiencing.

A client who is able to share who they are and their life experience in a safe space with an empathic, respectful and competent therapist can create positive change. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, discouraged or depressed I can help you gain balance and fulfilment. I provide a non-judgmental and accepting environment that will invite you to explore your unique situation and help you change feelings and behaviors that may be preventing you from living your life to the fullest. As a therapist, my goal is to listen respectfully and be attuned to both your challenges and strengths.

Hello, welcome to my profile. My name is Lucy and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I provide counselling services to individuals, children, teenagers and couples. I can offer you support, guidance and insight; and walk with you on your journey towards living your best, authentic life.

We are human beings, but when caught up in our busy lives, we sometimes turn into human doings. It can be challenging to be present when your schedules are full, or you get swept off by external and internal forces. I have the honour to work with individuals and families challenged by anxiety, depression, experiences of oppression and marginalization. I support folks who may be misunderstood or troubled by negative thoughts. I believe everyone has the power to heal from within and healing may look different for each individual. I am grateful to accompany you on this healing journey. We all have the right to thrive.

Whether you feel stuck in a loop or trying to adjust to changing life circumstances, if you are feeling debilitated by fear, apathy, frustration, anger or isolation; therapy can help. Exploring your emotions, thinking patterns and automated behaviours within the framework of your own life story is often considered a liberating journey. A journey that can be creative and playful as much as it is informative and containing.

At different times in our lives, we are handed challenges, and are faced with adversity. In these situations, we may feel like we need some support; someone wise and compassionate who can provide the opportunity to be heard, and the necessary guidance to move forward. You may be dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, problems in a relationship, grief/loss, trauma/post trauma, addiction, parenting, separation/divorce; or maybe you have just lost direction and feel like you need some realignment. Psychotherapy, coaching, or a combination of both offer you the opportunity to explore difficult or confusing terrain, to understand

Welcome to Human Connections Counselling and Consulting. My mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate and promote client growth and awareness so that clients may live a more fulfilling life. I am a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical practice experience providing counselling, case management and consulting services to individuals, families, and organizations. My counselling style is eclectic allowing me to draw from a variety of modalities based on your goals and our interactions. Understanding that clients are often looking for practical, transformative tools, I tend to adopt a solution-focused approach.

I am passionate about supporting others in their personal and spiritual growth. I help people going through major life transitions achieve peace of mind, symptom relief, and bring back a feeling of self-worth, acceptance and self-esteem. You could say I help people bring back their aliveness while integrating different approaches to match the therapy to the individual needs of the client. My work is based on the theoretical perspective that our sense of self forms and develops in relationship, particularly with caregivers. Therefore, deep change occurs through the new and intentional relational experience that is co-created in therapy.

My therapeutic approach is to create inner harmony between your thoughts and emotions. I do this by creating integrative therapeutic experiences utilizing evidence based therapies such as CBT, DBT, Clinical Hypnosis, Brief Solution Based Counselling along with cutting edge holistic methods of mindfulness and client centered psychotherapy. Incorporating these cognitive therapies with the mind and body allows for a unique experience where you can heal from past trauma and move forward with new enthusiasm and excitement.

Life can be full of joy, connection and meaning. It can also be stressful, challenging and wounding. All of us at one time or another can benefit from a safe, supportive place where we can feel heard and guided as we heal or find solutions that are best for us. Minni Sharma (RP) and Kim Hood (RSW) are happy to offer such a place. We will assist you by providing the tools and skills to manage the stressors in your life. Through our non-judgmental and empowering approach, we will assist you in connecting with your own strengths and resilience.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, healing space, to help you understand your soul's unique journey. Do you feel stuck, in conflict or in a crisis? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or maybe defeated by depression? When you find that talk-only therapy is not shifting you, then you are ready to work at a deeper, core level, working with the implicit memory or history that is in your body. I am a guide that can help you to find your true soul essence and grounded authentic self. This form of body / soul healing and psycho-therapeutic inquiry can support you if you experience • Stress. A difficult life transition • Or a critical illness • Challenging relationships or communication problems • Self-esteem or self-image issues • Emotional or physical abuse • Depression, grief or loss • Despair, hopeless or stuck • Fear, anxiety or panic attacks • Difficulty to feel love, joy or pleasure • Addictions or shame • Accessing or managing anger, or affect regulation • Healthy boundary development or how to say ‘No’ • Emotional or physical trauma • PTSD symptoms • Disconnected or confused spirituality issues • Ungrounded spirituality.
