Spirituality Therapists in Guelph, ON

I have a calm, welcoming and empathetic nature and I intently call out the values and strengths in the lives of those I support. You can expect creativity within sessions supported by a foundation of authenticity and vulnerability. Above all, sessions are a safe place to come as you are and share where you are at in the present moment.

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.

I work with individuals seeking guidance, emotional support, mental clarity, harmony in mind and body. Whether experiencing relationship conflict, stress, grief, trauma or seeking new perspectives and fresh solutions on your life journey, the essence of my approach is to provide a safe, supportive base where you can explore, understand, and heal issues causing discomfort and imbalance in your life. Physical limitations, social discomfort, and the challenge of living in a fast-paced changing world all contribute to "dis-ease" in the body/mind. This can present itself in the form of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, eating disorders, addiction and more.

As you experience the overwhelm of anxiety & depression, you may also have complex emotions around not feeling seen or understood. For those in marginalised communities who seek relief from this distress upon your whole world & long for a hopeful future, finding a therapist who understands your perspective is pivotal to your healing journey. I’m a Counsellor aiming to gently destigmatize therapy! As a person of colour & a visibly Muslim woman, I provide culturally sensitive therapy, promoting inclusivity to all of my clients. I offer empathy & validation as we work together to reclaim your inner peace & rediscover your self-worth.

Have you found yourself wanting help and support, yet others in your life think of you as the “strong” one and don't see your pain? Perhaps you work in a helping profession and don’t know where to turn for your own therapy. Anxiety, depression, or even burn out can lead to feeling lost and lonely. Maybe you have people with personality disorders in your life that make you doubt yourself or make the “easy” things very difficult. Many people are feeling disconnected from their community, themselves and the larger "something more". Creating a safe space where you can be heard and understood is the foundation of my work.

Accepting New Clients - No waitlist - Trauma, depression, and other mental health issues can often cause individuals to become "stuck" leading to feelings of resignation or hopelessness. It can often feel like the individual is at the bottom of a well which keeps getting deeper, with the light out feeling further and further out of reach. It can lead individuals to believe that there is no path forwards, or that any path forward is one devoid of meaning or fulfillment.

As your therapist, I will prioritize creating a non-judgmental space for you to explore your needs and concerns. I often support clients in finding and understanding their identity and their goals while facilitating action towards self-compassion, gratitude and love. I emphasize a harm-reduction approach to all models of therapy. I am skilled in addressing conflict resolution, effective coping strategies and creative problem solving. My goal is to facilitate a space which honours your unique needs and allows safe exploration into your desired topics.

Stress, anxiety and depression can quickly take over our lives. This survival mode protects our authentic self yet, in the long term, creates disconnect and misery. I believe that we each have the innate ability to return to our authentic selves as we slowly re-connect to our body and change survival patterns. This belief drives me in collaborating with you to move into your own sense of aliveness. My genuine presence and sensitivity supports creating a safe space for you to start letting go of survival mode and try out a new way of being.

Reach out and we can work through it together. The easiest way to view my availability and book an appointment is through our website (chettiarcounselling.ca) or you can email if you have any questions about the process.

Let me be your guide to the life you hope to for. Psychology and psychotherapy have captivated me for years, driving my dedication to the mental health field since 2011. Whether through in-person sessions or online, I tailor to meet the specific needs of each person I work with. I specialize in Couples Therapy and am certified in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. I also support individuals facing various difficulties, including phobias, social anxiety, panic attacks, health-related anxieties, major and persistent depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, OCD, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, anger, weight loss, suicidal ideation, and spirituality.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.

If you're trying to figure out how to heal from issues with relationships, self-worth, body image, weight stigma, illness, pain, anxiety or relationship with food, I believe you've come to the right place. I even have a couple of current openings in my practice. Together, we can explore when & where certain feelings/parts started & gently get to know them to slowly build to a more loving & self-accepting existence as you are now. I have a deep & personal understanding of these issue. My practice focus is: mindfulness, IFS/parts work, self-compassion, women's work, body issues, anxiety, pain, disordered eating, IE & psychedelic work.

I want to welcome new clients. Many of us live from the neck up and are lost in thought. Our bodies carry all our mental energy and pain, and by accessing this we can see which thoughts are helping and which are hurting. There is so much wisdom in all of us that we have not been taught to access. It's time to pay attention. Heal depression, anxiety, trauma, and other debilitating emotions. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology from McMaster University. I am a certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Facilitator. I specialize in using mindfulness and meditation to heal with Buddhist wisdom.

I work with adults who want freedom from negative patterns and who want to get to the root of repetitive reactivity and triggers. They want calm and peace. They want help with healthy boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, depression, life direction, co-dependency, communication, addiction, relationships (with self, the Divine, life partner, ex-partner, children, family, co-workers), emotional regulation, grief, loss/divorce, chronic pain, parenting, spiritual growth and psychedelic integration. Carrying the past makes current life difficult. Helping clients accept the past, learn from it and then let it go is what I love doing best.

Life rarely goes according to plan, and in our most difficult times, many of us have not had the support and tools needed to navigate losses, transitions, and traumas. My role is to help you find your way through hardship, while expanding your capacity to meet challenges from a place of resilience and acceptance. Your struggles are not due to your own inadequacy; rather, I believe all behaviour makes sense on some level, when viewed from the right perspective. I work from a holistic stance that accounts for the individual, cultural, and societal factors affecting each of us uniquely, and therefore requires a personalized approach.

It is so easy to lose True North when the storms of life blow. Sometimes you need a better compass, map, keel, or captain to guide the battered vessel toward a safe harbour, or even guide you toward a new continent. On this grand voyage called life, winds of depression, anxiety, trauma, aimlessness, or uncertainty can threaten your capacity to cope. Knowing there is a deep current ever guiding you helps restore your resilience. This deep inner work will better equip you to read patterns and ride out the storms.
