Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Burlington, ON

Life can sometimes feel difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for my clients to open up about their mental health challenges. Through therapy, you can learn to better understand yourself, build new coping skills, and improve your overall wellbeing.

I am so excited you are here! Therapy for me has been a place of safety, growth, and healing, and my passion is to provide the same for you. I believe we are born with an intuitive sense of knowing, and as we grow up, our experiences can either drown out, or confuse our own intuition. My goal is for you to find a place of safety in which you can heal, and gently tune back in to your own voice & intuition to guide you. Your unique experiences and pain deserve to be given attention and care, and through this process we can discover and heal what is hindering you from living your life to the fullest.

In a world of constant negative newsreels, life can feel frightening and uncertain. Are you struggling with feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or disconnected? Do you have trouble sleeping? Perhaps your mind feels to be "on" at all times and you are having hard time quieting the noise? If so, I can help.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers and I work with Individuals, Couples and Families. Interventions focus on acute and chronic symptomatic and characterological manifestations of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family conflicts, emotional dysregulation, self or other destructive behaviors, trauma & PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder and crises.

You can count on me to treat you with unconditional support, caring and acceptance. My goal is for you to experience therapy in a way that you always feel respected. Clients come to me for depression, anxiety, relationship issues (personal or work-related), grief, anger, trauma, and struggles relating to life transitions. Many of my clients begin to enjoy their lives more again, and they realize that their treatment plan is sensitive to their unique needs. Almost always, your brain is able to change and heal, and knowing this can help you to have hope for your future. We can meet in person at my office, or online - your choice.

Over a lifetime, we all develop defences, emotional knowings, thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, and fears that keep us from living the life we want. These may feel like limitations. At one time they had purpose, but have lost their usefulness in the present day. My job is to help you identify these limitations and guide and support you to transform them. We embrace the parts that have value and have compassion for the parts that are holding you back. Becoming aware of unwanted fears, beliefs, and thoughts that control our lives is an important step in changing the way we do things and how we see our world.

Accepting new clients, no waiting! Feeling stuck or anxious and can’t seem to shake it? Maybe you’re feeling more snappy or drained but you aren’t sure why, you just know it doesn’t feel like YOU. Things like hyper-independence, people-pleasing and burnout from stress or trauma can make it hard to prioritize your needs (or even know what your needs truly are!) I can help through a process of uncovering unhelpful patterns, facilitating emotional awareness, and healing past wounds that might be holding you back.

Welcome! It takes courage and strength to reach out, and I am so glad that you're here. I am passionate about building a secure, and supportive relationship where you feel safe to identify and explore experiences and core beliefs that may have you feeling 'stuck' in life. I have an eclectic and engaging approach that honours you as the expert in your own life, and as such, focuses on creating an individualized treatment plan. We will utilize modalities (such as IFS and Brainspotting) that empower you to identify and achieve your healing goals, increase your self-awareness, and ultimately support you in overcoming life’s challenges.

Hi there! I am offering complimentary 50-minute consults/first visits to ensure you have enough time to see if we would make a great team. There is nothing I want more than to help you to become your best self and reach your goals. I know firsthand what it is like to struggle in silence and did so for far too long. I want to help people find their voice and get back to living the life they want and deserve. I have always been in the mental health field in some capacity. I helped Michael Landsberg launch the SickNotWeak mental health organization, where the goal is to end the stigma that surrounds mental health and mental illness.

Do you often feel anxious or uneasy? Do you struggle with disturbing and intrusive thoughts? Are your habits getting harder and harder to change? Life can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to defeat you. You don’t have to do this alone – if you’re considering taking the next step on your healing journey, or perhaps the first, I would be honoured to support you. My laid approach to counselling makes it easy for you to feel comfortable to explore your deepest, darkest problems, and become a better version of you. Welcome to your next chapter!

Do you find it is difficult to regulate your emotions? Do you find you lack focus? Are you having a hard time to implement what you know would actually help you? What about problems dwelling in the past? and getting lost in worries about the future? We have helped thousands of people at our clinic to regulate their emotions more effectively, and learn how to live more in the present moment, feeling more at ease and experiencing more authentic joy in their lives. We look forward to helping you as well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Welcome to a space where growth begins! I appreciate that seeking therapy can be an overwhelming task, and I commend you for taking the first one by being here right now! My name is Emily, and if you are struggling with a heightened sensitivity, anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship and attachment issues, my aim is to help you understand the complexities of your emotional well-being. As someone who has walked the path of anxiety and emotional intensity myself, I bring a unique personal insight to my practice that allows for authenticity in our sessions and a genuine connection where vulnerability is met with understanding.

You deserve to feel better. I am a Registered Social Worker who is excited about and honoured to provide effective therapy services. In my practice, I see all kinds of humans, who show up struggling with all kinds of human issues. These often include anxiety, sadness, shame, people pleasing, and relationship challenges. I have training in many modalities (ways of doing therapy, like CBT, although not the only way!) and nearly twelve years experience working in our mental health system. Our work is informed by my experience, knowledge, and certifications, and is tailored to what you need to feel better as soon as possible.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, or lost at this point in your life, I will work with you to make sense of your experience in a way that empowers you to find your way forward. You may be having relationship difficulties, feeling generally unhappy or discontent with yourself, or simply struggling to find your place in the world. You may be grappling with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, or experiencing the effects of trauma. Whether you are finding it hard to cope with recent challenges or have been grappling with your issues for many years, you don't have to go through it alone.

I find the key to a successful therapy session is the connection between Therapist and Client. You will find that I am extremely authentic and warm; however, once a working relationship has been established, I believe it to be important to uncover and challenge unhealthy patterns of thinking and / or behaviour. It is then that we will work together to empower you with the skills to create more successful patterns for you in your life.
