Female Therapists in Guelph, ON

As a young adult, navigating life with anxiety, depression, or trauma can be disorienting, especially if cultural influences amplify pressure to create stability in your life. This can make you withdraw & feel all the more disconnected from yourself & others. I understand how this impacts your daily life, academics, career, & relationships, which is why as an empathetic therapist, I create a safe space for you to explore your multifaceted identities, develop coping strategies, & build resilience. Together let’s address your unique challenges, nurture self-empowerment, and map a path forward in which you thrive with confidence & joy!

I am a Psychotherapist with a Master's in Social Work (since 2004). I work with individuals, couples and families. Some of the topics I help people with include anxiety, depression, couples issues, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, grief & loss, serious health issues and prior traumatic events. I also work with parents and their children as they manage the intense emotions during parental separation and divorce. Therapeutic modalities include narrative, CBT/DBT and mindfulness-based approaches.

When life gives you lemons you don't HAVE to make lemonade - you can also reach out to me! I know how challenging it can be to find meaning in the world today in ways that align with our values, especially when the relationships, activities and places that anchor us break down. I'm familiar with how grief and isolation can sometimes follow, and how profoundly hurt can separate us from ourselves when let untended. After 10 years of community-based work, I get it; I've been there. It's why I feel strongly about creating a space where you don't have to have all the answers, and where you have room to be your full self.

Do you find yourself repeating the same defeating patterns in relationships? If you’re looking to overcome an anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment style, I’m here to help. My passion is to help people overcome the psychological and emotional barriers to living full lives with love and connection. Maybe you’ve just gone through a breakup and you’re finding yourself searching for meaning. Perhaps you have a tendency to ignore red flags, attract emotionally unavailable partners, or avoid dating due to fear of rejection or heartbreak.

How are you? This question might seem simple, yet it's often the hardest to answer honestly, especially if you're accustomed to masking your struggles and pretending everything is fine. If, behind closed doors, you find yourself grappling with feelings of anxiety, burnout, or uncertainty about your relationships or career, know that you're not alone. As a Registered Social Worker, my days are dedicated to supporting women like you through the intricacies of affair recovery, career and life transitions, low mood, and more, helping you find your voice and regain control over your life.

Are you struggling to calm your mind? Do you have overwhelming feelings of sadness or hopelessness? Perhaps you are looking to understand how to navigate a mood disorder. Do you want more contentment in your life and relationships? These experiences are common for many of us, and an indicator that we need a safe and supportive space to navigate life and address our concerns. I strive to create a space that honours your inherent wisdom, skills and creativity as we explore your experience and hopes. My approach is relationally focused, strengths-based and rooted in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed frameworks.

Welcome! Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you need a safe place to talk through your thoughts and feelings? Are you interested in healing while working towards a life aligned with purpose and meaning? It can be really hard to reach out for help and make yourself a priority, especially when you are hurting or struggling. Guided by your core values and personal strengths, we will illuminate the path towards healing so you can live fully in the present. Using practical tools we will expand self-awareness, transform negative patterns, ignite your own resiliency skills while building new coping strategies.

“I can’t keep living this way, but I don’t know how to change.” Does this statement sound familiar to you? Once upon a time, I felt this way too. Therapy was my safe space to land, and now I hope to offer a safe space in return for the pre-teens, teens and adults I work with. My own personal experience with navigating mental health concerns gives me a unique ability to understand my client’s journey, and with this insight and perspective I can promise you that you will never feel judged in my room. Together, we will work to unpack your past experiences, explore your strengths, and make a plan for the life you hope to build.

Are you someone who has tried talk therapy but is still feeling "stuck"? Are you looking for an experience of therapy that includes your body, spirit, mind, and helps you embody your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a nervous system informed, trauma-oriented approach that goes beyond talking and offers experiential practices that can gently reshape the survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. Somatic Therapy helps us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can experience our aliveness. This work is gentle, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassion-focused, nature-based, and decolonial approaches.

Often times, it can be difficult to talk our way out of trauma, depression or anxiety. It can impact the relationship between our mind and body as well as our ability to connect with self and other. I am here to offer a container to explore difficult experiences and emotions and to help you hold things that may be difficult to put into words. I believe that you are the expert on you and together we can work to discover your strengths, inner wisdom and resources so that you feel empowered in your healing process.

I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s needs & therapeutic goals pulling from various modalities such as Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, Narrative, Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. I am a mother to 2 children and have specialized training in perinatal mental health & supporting individuals through the highs and lows of parenthood. Whether it is difficult emotions, managing relationships, dealing with stress & overwhelm, life changes & transitions, struggling with identity & role strain, or grief & loss - I am here to walk alongside you, no matter where you are on your journey.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Taking the first step towards self-awareness and healing can feel challenging. I am here to offer a safe, unbiased space to unpack emotions, experiences, and thoughts. Recognizing our internal dualities and reconnecting with our inner child, a wounded part of ourselves, can be transformative and healing. As your therapist, I am committed to supporting you by fostering self-awareness and challenging harmful patterns. To book an appointment, please visit our website (chettiarcounselling.ca).

I'm an RP & RN who specializes in supporting children, youth and adults who are navigating their own serious illness, or grieving the serious illness or death of someone in their life. I work closely with our team of grief therapists all of whom share a passion for ensuring that people of all ages have access to compassionate and skilled support for navigating the incredibly difficult yet very human experience of grief. While we take a non-pathological view of grief, we are well aware of the challenges that come with experiencing grief in a death-phobic and grief-illiterate society and we help our clients navigate this.

I can assist with such issues as anxiety, anger management, emotional regulation, problem-solving, friendship skills, bullying, self-esteem building and ADHD. I look forward to working with you!

I provide clinical assessment and evidence-based therapy for a range of emotional and adjustment related difficulties, with a primary focus on the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. I have received specialized training and have expertise in treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive (e.g., OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking), depression and bipolar, and trauma-related (i.e., PTSD) disorders.

Most people who come to me are struggling with challenges that fall into one of four main categories: 1) anxiety, and other struggles with emotional regulation, 2) relationship difficulties, with family, friends, stress, work, nature, society, spirituality, and oneself, 3) direction, related to life purpose or career, and 4) depression, and grief-related challenges. I work with adult individuals (16 and up) and couples seeking guidance, support, and tools to help navigate life struggles with more self-awareness and agency. I also offer individual and group clinical supervision to therapists.

I work with youth and adults who are struggling with cumulative stress, anxiety, or trauma and want to develop a sense of emotional stability and well-being; they're looking for a therapist who can be authentic. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations to allow the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.
