Life happens, I understand. We all go through our ups and downs every now and then. Facing your challenges alone can be quite difficult. In my practice, I support clients aged 16+ who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, behavioural concerns as well as trauma/PTSD. I also work with clients who would like to address their overall emotional wellbeing, process grief and loss, or adjust to difficult life transitions.

ADHD, Emotions, Relationships/Couples, Anxiety/Stress- You're having a hard time concentrating and getting things done. You struggle to find motivation to complete your daily tasks and then feel down about yourself. You struggle with shifting moods and don't know how to cope. When anxiety and overwhelm take over, it can be hard to function because your concentration and motivation start to slip. And, if you struggle with low mood and negative self-talk, it can be hard to get out of that "funk" and shift to a more productive mindset.

Are you anxious? Do you feel stuck? Perhaps you can’t find the right words for what’s going on in your marriage right now? Are you stressed or depressed about life in general? Then it may be time for you to chat with someone like me. Life is hectic every day, but when you have someone who is ready to walk the journey with you, life becomes more enjoyable. My name is Ibukun Ogunsina, and I’d love to give you my shoulders to lean on. I have walked some miles in other people’s shoes. I have also worked with diverse populations and in many settings.

The individuals & families I work with struggle with cannabis & substance abuse, seeking to break free from the cycle of addiction. They need consistent, supportive guidance to help them remain abstinent from all mind and mood-altering chemicals. Their goal is to achieve lasting sobriety, regain control of their life, and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. They want a coach who understands their journey and provides practical strategies and unwavering support to help them succeed. Through weekly virtual therapy and coaching sessions, they are motivated to overcome their challenges and embrace a brighter, substance-free life.

Stuck. Isolated. Broken. Powerless. Lost. Hopeless. Many men often face unique challenges and experiences that can be difficult to navigate on their own. Whether it's societal expectations around masculinity, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, past trauma, or an addiction, men may feel like they have to "tough it out" and resolve with their problems on their own without support or guidance. Seeking therapy can be a powerful way for men to address these challenges and develop the skills and tools they need to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Do you struggle with feeling triggered by your relationship, co-workers or your children? Have you experienced trauma at some point and feel that this may be presenting itself now in the present? Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, reactive or emotionally raw? Oftentimes unprocessed trauma and impactful experiences can lead us to feel reactive, emotionally raw, anxious and depressed. By looking into the events that have shaped us, we can re-process trauma and painful experiences and help the body and brain heal, bringing symptom relief. I use an integrative therapy approach and can incorporate EMDR when appropriate.

Lets face it, the path to becoming a new parent can be stressful, unfamiliar, and scary. There's very little that can prepare you for the real-life challenges of postpartum and the profound transformation of one's identity. I've experienced those solitary nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and the sensation of no longer recognizing who I am or the life I lead. I've been through it all. I am here to help mama's and mama's to be through the ups and downs of infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and all things post partum.

Life comes with challenges that can affect how we are functioning in the many roles we hold in our life. Our thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses can really weigh us down. They hold us back, and leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. At these times therapy can be the tool to help you be the best you. It can put you in control of your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and decisions. This leaves us with a sense of balance and peacefulness. I rely on Evidence Based Practice to support people in their journey to wellness. Therapy can include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy,etc.

The ripple effect of addiction and mental health issues can hold us hostage, interfering in our ability to live fulfilling lives and develop meaningful connections with others. Many harbour a sense of shame reflective of stigma which serves to silence and with that dismiss both the severity and prevalence. It is common to have developed and maintained coping mechanisms that no longer serve a purpose yet have become habitual and with that familiar. Therapy is a place where thoughts and feelings are explored, validated, and with that normalized. Healing occurs through self-discovery and the sense of empowerment that accompanies this.
