Personality Disorders Therapists in Kitchener, ON

I am a registered psychotherapist with an integrative approach. My counseling considers all aspects of health: mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the inherent dignity and strength of the human person. I draw on these to help you manage your challenges and transitions, and to find new balance and purpose in life. I worked at CMHAWW, where I specialized in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have also worked in the addictions programs at St. Michael's Hospital and Humber River Hospital, where I specialized in concurrent disorders.

I have over 15 years of specialized and certified experience, with a focus on adult and child autism/adhd, hormonal changes, athletic, executive career coaching, inner child wounds, attachment injury, hoarding, grief, anxiety, depression, soul/intuitive and trauma. I am passionate supporting women, including busy moms who want their identity and holistic connection to their world. One size does not fit all; thus, I am unique because I utilize integrative, somatic, EMDR, cognitive, behavioural, emotional and neurofeedback! Let’s align mind, body and soul, using neuroscience to create new neural pathways and regulate nervous systems!

I know that life can get complicated, messy, and stressful, and we often feel alone in our struggle. It can be difficult to allow ourselves to be seen, heard, and accepted for who we are, and it takes self-awareness, courage, and vulnerability to reach out for help, so I honour you for being here and taking the next step. Sharing your story and your struggles in a safe and supportive space can be empowering and healing. I believe in your capacity for resilience, growth, and healing.

Accepting new clients. Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck? Unsure of what to do to see a change in your life? Together we will work to get you moving forward. I strive to provide a space where empathy and connection are used to support individuals through the therapy or counseling process. I tailor my approach to your needs, using trauma-informed modalities, and offering insight and strategies for your consideration. During our time together we will discover what works for you, and address any challenges that may arise during our time together.

I provide welcoming, collaborative therapy that helps overwhelmed people find a path towards peace and wellbeing. I can help you to untangle complicated thoughts, and to create strategies to discover or recover your thriving self. My work is grounded in the theories of narrative therapy, DBT, CBT, Photo Therapy, positive psychology, and Gottman-informed couples' therapy. I have a particular affinity for people struggling with poor mental health, folks navigating mid-life challenges, women's issues throughout the lifespan, and family members supporting loved ones with mental health concerns.

Compassion. Challenge. Joy. Working together, we will co-create a place for you to build clarity and capacity in your life. You will be invited to gain more self-compassion and acceptance. We will use dialogue, curiosity and sensation awareness to increase your knowledge yourself and your patterns. My approach is warm, honest, playful, and embodied. It is important to me that you feel change through our work together and that it supports your ongoing wellness and vitality.

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!

Are you someone who identifies as highly sensitive, struggles with people pleasing, or has difficulty setting boundaries and often feels burnt out as a result? I am here to support individuals and families facing anxiety, emotional challenges, trauma, and relationship concerns. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, transform old narratives that no longer serve them, and discover more balanced ways to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating these often complicated challenges, fostering a more curious and compassionate sense of self.

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.

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 am a registered psychotherapist holding over 12 years of experience working with youth and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I offer a creative and client-centred approach to counselling to help individuals develop and reach their own goals. I apply a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens in all the work that I do.

I bring an enthusiastic and innovative approach to therapy. My role as a therapist is to create a safe and engaging space where clients can explore their own stories and discover their sense of hope within. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I have training and experience in working with adolescents, individuals who are on the autism spectrum, individuals with ADHD, and people with special needs as well as their families and caregivers.

My passion is to collaborate with individuals in a therapeutic setting to work towards reconnecting with their authentic selves.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple, or family who want(s) to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals (such as emotional and interpersonal wellness) aimed at supporting a sustained improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated (with an eye toward resolution), or aimed at sustained long-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My ideal client is simply someone who wants to improve the quality of their life in a way that is meaningful to them.

Welcome! I’m Alex and I offer body oriented talk therapy, embodied movement and clinical supervision/consultation services. I am committed to supporting you in accessing the transformation that is made possible through stretching into your growth edges and living into your deepest held values. My approach is warm, casual, and collaborative. I work with individuals who are 18 + with specialized experience supporting helping professionals, those living with complex trauma, developmental trauma, anxiety and perfectionism.

Feeling trapped by anxious or obsessive thoughts, consumed by negative self-talk, and having these thoughts interfere with your relationships can lead to a vicious cycle of shame and emotional pain. This is a cycle that I know. Through the lens of attachment theory, exploring attachment wounds and patterns becomes a powerful tool for developing secure and supportive relationships, both within ourselves and with others.

Are you or your child having a difficult time managing overwhelming feelings? Are there parts of yourself that prevent you from feeling open and safe with others? Imagine if you didn’t have to grapple with these challenges alone. In my practice, I help clients work towards becoming their authentic selves, and provide skill-based support to get the most out of life. Holding a Bachelors and Masters degree in social work, I use a combination of play-based therapy, CBT, and DBT to support clients. I’ve been working with children, youth, and families for the past 10 years, in English and French.

Are there aspects of your life that feel daunting, overwhelming, or difficult to manage? Does it feel like no one really understands you? Maybe you've had friends or family members suggest that you give therapy a try. Maybe you've come to that conclusion on your own. Either way, you may be asking yourself, "How will therapy help me? What will my therapist say? Are they just going to analyze me and tell me what I should be doing differently?"
