Therapists in Guelph, ON

As a psychotherapist, with a somatic and psychodynamic orientation, I seek to support people in finding greater freedom, creativity, compassion, empowerment and aliveness in their lives. I believe the antidote to emotional struggles is finding a sense of vitality. Listening, identifying and staying with one's emotional world is the key to self awareness. As a psychotherapist my greatest task is to listen with compassion, for people to speak their deeper truths and to help them find an alternative pathways in living a life that expresses their authenticity and how to contribute with meaning in the world.

We have all been there at some point in our lives, whether being a new parent, struggling as a student, having sickness in the family, or feeling the immigration blues.

Walking alongside you through your struggles, together we can find a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! You may be dealing with relationships, family conflict, working through challenging thoughts, emotions and behaviours related to the past, present and future, or exploring career change. You may be experiencing anxiety, frustration, numbness, stress, self-esteem issues, or struggling to get things done at home, work, or postsecondary school. My practice is guided by compassion, openness and grounding while supporting you on your healing journey.

Stress highly depletes your energy to deal with problems. When feeling tired, frustrated and hopeless, it can seem like there are no solutions. In a safe, calm environment, where you feel accepted just as you are, you begin to develop self-compassion. By being gentle with yourself, coming from a place of non-judgement, you can attain so much. Trust allows you to open and us to work together to explore what is at the root of the problem. As you explore thoughts, and feelings you become more self-aware. Your energy increases and you become stronger, then able to learn effective coping skills to overcome challenges and to thrive.

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted; the person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you! This is a shocking discovery, even if it is not the first time! I understand the heart ache, the confusion and the difficulty in trying to navigate your present pain and work towards re-grounding yourself and healing.

Accepting new clients - Relationship troubles can feel exhausting. Anxiety and stress can feel debilitating. Low mood and lack of purpose can feel paralyzing. Finding yourself is not easy and getting help can feel hard. I understand.

Are you feeling angry, irritable, and exhausted? Are you struggling with past traumas and feel stuck and unable to move on? Do you find yourself struggling at work or school? It is so easy to get stuck on the hamster wheel of all the things, expending your precious energy outward, with very little left for yourself. It doesn’t have to be this way. It IS possible to feel happy, fulfilled, and at peace. Together we will unpack your story with curiosity and compassion, finding ways for you to feel how you WANT to feel. It IS possible to live the life you crave so deeply.

I work from a model of health, balance and empathy by bringing into awareness the places where we get stuck and our unique ways of getting there. You know best when your patterns of coping are no longer working. A therapist's job is to support you in creating positive shifts in your life. This support may sometimes feel frustrating, especially when our familiar patterns of functioning are being challenged. I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible.

When overwhelming emotions limit the pursuit of our responsibilities or passions in life there are effective strategies that can help regulate and minimize the emotional storms as well as provide the resilience needed to thrive in your life despite those storms. Life can be very difficult, unlike physical pain that is usually hard to ignore therefore treatment is sought after, emotional pain is unfortunately often ignored hoping it goes away. Anger, stress, anxiety, low moods, loss and relationship upheavals are all issues that can be better worked through with professional support through those storms. My name is Tim Kahtava, I
