Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Brantford, ON

It can be difficult to live in the world with a sense of peace in yourself. Many have suffered adverse life experiences that get in the way of connecting to the world and the full life we are seeking. We all feel stuck sometimes, doubt ourselves, and worry things will never get better. I have 18 years experience working with clients struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, childhood neglect and abandonment, addictions, ADHD and people in recovery from psychosis. I also have experience working with the Indigenous population, youth and seniors. I offer a strength and evidence-based approach.

Stressed over caring for the older adult in your life? Are you grieving as your loved one palliates or approaches end of life? Are you struggling with locating and managing community health supports and services? At SpinCast Health, we offer counselling services utilizing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other therapies to better manage and cope with care giver burnout.

Are you struggling with grief and loss, sadness and depression, anxiety and frustration, or just the stress of everyday life? Loss is more than just losing a loved one. We have lost so much of what we knew as “normal” in recent years. Grief and loss are expected realities of life but you do not need to go through it alone. Connecting with the right therapist can be the first step in addressing your concerns and making a change. My intention is to just be human with you as we work together. I would be honoured to hear your story and support you in creating the rich and meaningful life that you deserve.

I exclusively offer online sessions through a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. Over the years, I’ve gained a strong understanding of what makes therapy effective, especially when it comes to the social and psychological aspects that can impact peoples lives. My work as a full-time Hospital Social Worker has given me hands-on experience, particularly in mental health care across different settings like geriatric rehabilitation, emergency medicine, and psychiatric care. My background in psychotherapy has sharpened my skills in both group and individual therapy, especially when it comes to helping kids and teens.

I see therapy as a space to speak openly about what it means to be a human. I am a therapist who values safety and understands that trust must be earned. I would like to offer you a warm, welcoming environment, where any topic can be explored without judgement. I have 7 years experience working in the mental health field with children, teens, adults and seniors. Most recently, my work has been in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, where I supported Trans and Non-Binary youth, living with complex mental health concerns.

You are looking at this profile and that means you have taken the first step. You want help. The next step is to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Let me tell you a little bit about myself so you can decide if I would be a good fit. I have been a social worker for 23 years. I have worked in hospitals, private practice, long-term care homes, and rehab facilities across Ontario. I work from a place of non-judgement. I like to say if they had a meeting for functional families, no one would be there including me. Anxiety, depression, couples counselling, and work place stress are my specialties.

I firmly believe that every individual deserves to lead a life filled with fulfillment. I champion the idea that true happiness is not an elusive goal but an inherent aspect of your being waiting to be unlocked. I believe that the purpose of life is not just existing but living it mindfully, cherishing each moment with gratitude and awareness.

I believe that in depth assessments are important to properly assessing and determining how to best assist the clients I serve. Some situations are very complicated, and ensuring a good understanding of the specifics can lead to better outcomes. I offer virtual and telephone counselling , as well as text based counselling services in real time or secure asynchronous counselling. My website can be found at www.jennifermcguinness.ca. For a link to the text based counselling click on the "Get In Touch" button on my webpage. Due to character limitations, I have more capacity to post information from my webpage.

With almost 20 years' experience in working with a variety of clients and issues, I have learned that it is most important to provide a space in which clients can feel safe and able to reflect upon and evaluate their circumstances. I will work with you to determine the best treatment approach and together we will walk toward understanding and healing. I have found deep joy in walking with clients through the struggles of life.

We offer IN-PERSON and video/telephone appointments and have evening and weekend availability.

Something is wrong, but we can't quite grasp what. We search for a better understanding of ourselves in order to solve our emotional and psychological discontent. We think about the events of the day, relationships, childhood and the past. Still, something doesn't seem right. We act and feel in ways that create discord. I provide psychotherapy for people who are interested in looking for the deeper meaning behind the discomfort in their lives. The goal is to be able to have more meaningful relationships, fulfilling work and societal contributions, as well as the capacity to bear the difficulties that are part of living fully.

Dr. Seth Gilligan said, “stress is inevitable but overwhelm is optional.” While life can be challenging and the future uncertain, it's often the stories we tell ourselves that lie at the root of our suffering. Do you struggle with feelings of low self-worth and inadequacy? Do you find yourself ruminating about the past or lacking the motivation to move forward? Is fear of uncertainty holding you back from the life you’d like to live? Are you stuck in a cycle of self-defeating behaviors that you'd like to change? The good news is we have more influence over our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors than we give ourselves credit for.

I appreciate and respect the courage it takes to reach out for support. We are all uniquely impacted by stress at certain points in our lifetimes, and your decision to connect with support is a positive step in caring for yourself. With over 20 years of social work practice, I am passionate and experienced in building strong, supportive relationships with my clients as we work together to navigate a variety of life challenges. Your session will be facilitated in a welcoming and nonjudgmental space from the perspective that everyone is capable of personal growth.
