Anxiety Therapists in Guelph, ON

To put it simply, I love people. And what inspires me as a therapist is the opportunity to serve others through authentic connection and collaborative insight into clients' thoughts, feelings and actions. While drawn to cognitive behavioral and Mindfulness interventions, for me, providing a safe, warm and open relational component is key. Whether working with couples, individual adults or adolescents, and issues ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma, or sexuality, intimacy and interpersonal functioning, it is a privilege to hold your confidence and assist you in your journey towards integration and wellness

Life is hard, and the challenges we meet in our relationships, work, and daily tasks can create tremendous stress and uncertainty. I provide a warm and comfortable environment where you and I can work as a team to unpack issues troubling you – I am non-judgmental, have a good sense of humour, and I thrive in supporting people through challenging times. As a mature woman, I have faced my own issues with anxiety, relationship stress, and parenting difficulties, and through my personal and professional experiences I have come to understand how powerful the psychotherapy process is at fostering self-awareness and emotional resilience.

I believe that creating a positive and collaborative client-therapist relationship is fundamental to the healing journey. My philosophy revolves around helping to free clients from unhelpful patterns and ways of thinking in order to fully embrace the meaningful life they want to live. I have walked alongside people struggling with a wide range of mental health and life challenges and I take a particular interest in anxiety and trauma.

Whether it be you or a loved one, most of us have experienced some form of struggle or loss. In today’s fast-paced world many of us are also juggling the competing demands of work and home life; both have become further complicated by technology and social media. We live in a world where we are more connected, yet lonelier than ever. For those with children, we are inundated with parenting advice, leaving us questioning whether we are doing enough, or doing it right. With all the information overload it can be difficult to know where to get started when it comes to our emotional health.

Navigating the complexities of life, career, and relationships can be overwhelming. I foster a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore more about experiences and emotions. Our lives are a tapestry where experiences, relationships, and inner battles intertwine which shapes our identities influencing our paths.

Are you ready to heal from trauma, anxiety or addiction? Are your ruminating thoughts and constant worry overwhelming you? Are you tired of having to push down your needs and compromise yourself to feel accepted by others? Has your critical self voice made you believe you are not enough? Are your emotions overtaking you making you feel confused about who you are and what you need? Have you turned to substances or avoidance behaviors to cope with stress? I want you to know, healing from these patterns is absolutely possible! Imagine a life where these struggles no longer occur and you feel safe, secure and confident in yourself.

I believe that life’s challenges can be an opportunity to discover our inherent strengths and achieve personal growth. Having said that, facing obstacles alone can be overwhelming and reaching out for help takes courage. I consistently strive to provide a therapeutic space where individuals feel safe and accepted while pursuing goals that matter to them.

I acknowledge the profound vulnerability that comes with sharing personal stories, particularly those involving trauma, illness, grief, addiction, or depression. Creating a secure, compassionate, and respectful space is my priority. I am deeply attuned to the individual needs of each person and strive to establish trust through active listening and unwavering support. I rely on evidence-based techniques and approaches that are aimed at empowering you to unlock your true potential. I adopt a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of balance and optimal health

I understand that vulnerability in therapy can be new and intimidating work for some of us. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental and comforting environment for those from various backgrounds. My primary focus is centred on supporting young adults struggling with transitional periods, anxiety/depression and individuals who may struggle with intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

Welcome to one of my little corners on the internet. I am an RN Psychotherapist and associate at Janine Ruddy Online Psychotherapy. I typically work with those who are struggling with anxiety disorders, depression or school-related stressors—may that be perfectionism, procrastination, motivation, self-esteem issues, time-management and so forth. My approach to therapy is driven by compassion and empathy where we will work collaboratively on your goals. I am hoping you will be left with a vast tool box of skills as well as a more confident and peaceful outlook on life.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

My areas of speciality include; depression, anxiety, ADHD, and managing certain personality disorders including (but not limited to) borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and social anxiety. Other areas of focus include professional and/or workplace struggles/development including (but not limited to); procrastination, motivation, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism. My goal is to work with my clients towards recognizing and understanding exactly what is hindering their personal growth and acting as a barrier against success.

Hi, I’m Jen! Are you a female with high-functioning anxiety or a trauma history? Outwardly, you seem okay, but beneath the surface, you may struggle with overwhelm, feeling on edge, overthinking, worrying, self-criticism, a nagging feeling of not being good enough, perfectionism, self-doubt, low self-confidence, not feeling able to enjoy the moment, and/or imposter syndrome? If you can relate to any of these concerns, I'm here to listen and help. I work with clients to help improve nervous system dysregulation caused by stress, trauma, or attachment wounds.

Psychotherapy offered by NP Jen serves all persons who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or looking to build confidence in their own identity. Including: those in healthcare, education, and emergency services; paediatric populations on the neurodiverse spectrum; and the LGBTQ2IAS+ community . Mixed modalities of acceptance, trauma informed, CBT/DBT/ACT, somatic, and experiential therapy rooted through an attachment focus lens are used to guide care. Holistic Animal Assisted & Recreational Therapy (HAART) is included for those who wish to explore inner healing with the assistance of animals and the natural environment.

Central to my practice is the creation of a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely. I believes in the power of collaboration and actively engage with my clients to co-create goals and strategies for positive change.
