Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Hamilton, ON

I believe that when we come to therapy, we have the potential to heal ourselves. We are the masters of our own paths in life. It’s the circumstances in our lives—such as our social environment and various other factors—which can prevent us from living up to our full potential. I believe that through therapy, these hidden potentials can be realized. As a therapist, I act as a facilitator to help my clients see what they already have inside of them, foster self-acceptance, and help them reach their life goals through discovery of the self and of one’s own strengths.

As a counsellor, I specialize in working with individuals facing significant life challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use. Are you feeling overwhelmed and seeking a path to healing and resilience? Together, we will explore your inner self, develop effective coping strategies, and strive for stability and peace. My goal is to empower you to lead a fulfilling, balanced life and improve your well-being.

Begin your journey of self-discovery with personalized psychotherapy. As a Registered Psychotherapist , I offer person-centred therapy to adults, guiding them towards self-transformation and clarity in life.

It empowers clients to lead their therapeutic journey with my unwavering support, empathy, and positive regard. Embrace this method for an environment that fosters personal growth. Unlock your potential for profound transformation today.

I would be honoured to meet anyone who is feeling ready to take a step forward in their life. I operate from a non-judgemental standpoint, and my job is to support you in however you feel is beneficial. While I offer certain skills and experience, I will ask that we work together to determine the best course of action towards your hopes for tomorrow.

We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

Today, we live in a fast-paced, stressful world. The hardships of balancing our work, education and personal time becomes increasingly hard to achieve. Our responsibilities continue to grow and the world around us is becoming so demanding. Sometimes, to cope we use resources which may, in fact, be harmful to ourselves. Addictions are often felt as shameful and concealed from others. We are all vulnerable to making decisions that are not always in our best interest. I am not here to judge you, but rather provide useful tools which will help provide opportunities for making healthier choices.

Dr. Sala and Associates is a psychological practice offering services to children, adolescents and adults in English and French. We provide psychological assessments, psychotherapy and consultations to our clients. Our associates are fully bilingual and therefore, able to offer services in the client's preferred language. Through Assessment, we help to establish our clients' needs and set goals for effective treatment outcomes. Diagnostic psychological assessments can also help to determine whether a person is suffering from a specific disorder and the subsequent recommendations that will help that person function better in their school/work settings.

Living with "borderline personality disorder" (BPD) can be isolating, confusing, and exhausting. So can seeking support — especially if we have experienced stigma, shaming, or felt misunderstood in the mainstream mental health world. I believe it doesn’t have to be this way, and I work to offer support and information for people with BPD that honours and accepts the many different ways we can show up in the world. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and respected. Our work together will be co-created, rather than defined or directed by me. It will be a space where you have the opportunity to talk, feel, process, and grow.

Experience in working with women, children, men, couples, families and agencies, I have certificates from U of T in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Concurrent Disorders as well as training in EMDR, CBT, mindfulness/meditation, ACT, IFS, solution focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, emotion focused, narrative therapy, experiential therapies and addiction treatment to name a few. My approaches are trauma informed. I am able to offer thorough assessments and treatment that aim to heal deeply rooted emotional and behavioural patterns that might be keeping you stuck.

I have spent the past 30 years working with children, youth and their caregivers providing Mental Health treatment for a wide range of challenges facing families today. Whether it is proactively building resilience, providing age appropriate psycho-education or teaching behaviour management skills and coping strategies, I have experience with trauma, school related difficulties, emotion regulation, anger management, behaviour management, self-esteem, LGBTQ guidance and crisis. I encourage an open mind and a genuine desire to explore ones self to find strength and insight to move forward on their personal journey of life.

Are you a child or youth who is struggling emotionally or mentally? Is your mental health or behaviour choices getting in the way of your journey in life? Maybe you're a parent that has a child with these challenges and you're looking for some guidance or skills around how to cope with or support them? Do you feel as though everyone else around you knows what to do and here you are, feeling alone or lost? Or are you noticing that your responses or behaviours are getting in the way of your personal or peer relationships? You are not alone, how can I help you?

At Durand Integrated Health Group, we believe counselling should be made available to any person regardless of their mental health challenges, daily struggles, sexuality, race, abilities, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status or other. We strive to provide a safe and confidential space to share your thoughts and feelings.

Are you feeling stuck? Anxious? Are you inclined towards mindful and body-centred practices like yoga? Perhaps you've tried cognitive behavioural groups but don't feel that you are getting to the underlying root? I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions (e.g. separation and divorce), relationship issues, trauma, pregnancy and post-partum. I work collaboratively helping you to make sense of your experience, heal any pieces getting in the way, build new skills, so you ultimately can become more alive, aligned and peaceful.

Trauma can leave us feeling broken, damaged and disconnected. Do you struggle with feeling triggered or always walking on eggshells? Have you isolated yourself because friends and family don’t understand or due to feelings of guilt and shame? Sometimes trauma doesn't have to be something big. Perhaps an event, life transition or change, anxiety or depression has impacted you and you want to get back to yourself again. I want to work with you on healthy coping strategies to not only improve your life but to thrive. You deserve to have meaningful connected relationships and grow your self-worth and purpose as you heal from struggles

As a psychotherapist, I seek to provide you with a life transforming experience to help you deal with the difficult issues in your life, such as relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, or grief. I offer you an authentic human relational encounter that fosters growth, support and change. Life growth and transformation can be a beautiful experience, and it is my goal to help you experience what others have previously experienced with me. Finding happiness in life does not need to be out of reach, or seem impossible for you.

Are you thinking about taking steps towards healing and growth? My practice is guided by the principles of integrity, non-judgement, collaboration, curiosity and compassion. I view my clients holistically, and regard what they bring to therapy as subject to nuance. I spent over 10 years doing community-based harm reduction work. I am well-versed in working with clients to build an atmosphere where they feel safe, equipped, and empowered to address and overcome their unique challenges. I understand that such spaces can only be created by actively listening to and applying feedback from my clients and adapting my practice accordingly.

I believe therapy allows people to share their stories and feel their emotions in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored).
