Female Therapists in Lindsay, ON

I work with diverse populations. When working with individuals experiencing trauma, grief, diverse mental health concerns and/or addiction, I use a compassionate Inquiry approach, a trauma informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate. Other approaches I use include Mindfulness, CBT, DBT and ACT. When working with couples, I use a systemic, humanistic, person-centred, attachment and developmental approach with a focus on resilience.

About You: You are 21+ and you’re struggling. Maybe it's been a slow progression, or maybe your world took sudden turn and you feel stuck. It's as if your life went into syndication and all the music was stripped away. You need a comfortable and secure space to be heard and to heal. You want a therapist with a genuine interest in you. Someone who provides the kind of non-judgmental care which drove you to consider therapy in the first place. You want a therapist who sees you as an individual and intuitively endeavors to both challenge you and collaborate with you.

Would you like to work on your relationship? Whether you attend alone, or as a couple, I welcome the opportunity to work with you in a non-judgmental and collaborative way. I have a strong understanding of depression and anxiety, if you find yourself struggling with your mental health. You don't have to go through it alone. Perhaps you have ADHD and would like some support and skills to make life a bit easier. We can make life more manageable together. I also offer Christian counselling for those seeking that worldview in therapy.

I have worked with children, youth and their families for thirteen years. In the two years, I have expanded to working with adults and couples, and have completed additional training in couples and family therapy through the University of Guelph. I have experience supporting complex mental health and wellbeing issues, and am comfortable working with clients who are, or who have, experienced trauma, complex family systems issues, and life transitions (including grief and loss).

Helping others during difficult times is my passion. I use a solution-focused approach to help people find the answers they need. My aim is to provide individuals or couples with a safe and non-judgmental space to express their thoughts, feelings, and fears while working towards developing a plan for the future. I have experience working with clients who have sought help with a range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, grief, and various life stages, to name a few. I also work with my clients to develop their own toolbox for moving forward.

Every challenge is an opportunity to find ourselves, see things differently, and self-actualize. When you're stuck, stressed, or struggling (grief, relationships, life altering events, work or academic stress, general health and wellbeing), I guide you to reconnect with your inner strength, recognize your talents, make meaningful connections, and see new possibilities—walking forward with new perspective. I listen with compassion, work with transparency, and provide creative therapy.

I truly believe that every family has different needs and I strive to cater my services to meet the client where they are. No family is alike, and I offer a dynamic and personable experience. Going through challenging life experiences and trauma can seem overwhelming and where to begin can be difficult or seem impossible. I support you to work through those emotions and develop steps to get where you want to be, and most importantly, heal. I listen closely to your feelings and challenges and ensure you feel safe and in a trusting environment.

Accepting new clients! Congratulations on starting your healing journey! Therapy through natural conversation with an experienced, relatable and personable counsellor can make your experience feel less isolating and daunting. This is your safe space to express yourself fully and understand that you are never alone in working through your life challenges.

Suzanne works with adults, teens and preteens in her private practice with offices in Lindsay and Port Perry. Relationship counselling and family counselling as well as individual counselling are available. Suzanne explores the issues that are positively and negatively effecting life and relationships. Some have diagnosed concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, depression, while others require tools to facilitate communication and sort out life choices and directions.

Located in the Kawartha Lakes region, I offer both online and in-person therapeutic counselling services. My approach to healing includes providing an inclusive and person-centred environment. Whether you are experiencing life-changing circumstances that are causing feelings of anxiety or depression, or if you are noticing trouble in your relationships and wonder how to feel closer to those you care about, I provide a safe space for you to share your experiences. Together, we can explore new strategies to successfully navigate life's changing circumstances.

I specialize in working with people to become better versions of themselves so they can lead more fulfilled lives. Together we can work to recognize the strengths and resilience you have within, so you can apply it to your everyday reality. ​

For those seeking treatment and support for mental suffering and/or personal development, including personality disorders, mood disorders, grief, trauma, addiction and life changes.

Ruth-Ellen Baker, Registered Psychotherapist, has graduate and post-graduate training in Family Therapy and Play Therapy and, about ten years ago, shifted from a general practice to a focus on children, youth and their families. She strongly believes that, wherever possible, caregivers need to be consistently involved in their child's therapy, in order to make long-term change possible outside of sessions. She is also committed to strengthening attachments in family relationships, as another important factor in creating positive change.

I welcome adults (18+) who experience a wide range of mental health and substance use issues. Grounded in a client-centered, recovery-oriented, and trauma-informed approach, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to engage people in a journey of self-awareness and reflective action.

Surviving traumatic events can feel isolating when societal norms encourage us to suppress difficult emotions and move on. Well-intentioned clichés like "time heals all wounds," can make us feel like something's wrong with us if we continue to feel distressed after time has passed. The truth is, that societal perceptions of trauma and mental health often lack accuracy. Time alone does not guarantee healing. It is crucial to know your distress is a physiological reaction to what you've survived rather than an indication of any personal shortcomings.

If you or someone you know is struggling, I want you to know you are not alone. Our world is significantly changing and exerting pressure on us and our loved ones. I am here to support you in developing coping strategies, overcoming challenges, or changing your way of thinking and reacting.

My name is Meagan Bowman. I am a registered Social Worker (RSW) and am affiliated with the Ontario Association of Social Workers. I have over 7 years of experience working with folks experiencing issues such as, but not limited to relationship problems, stress, mood disorders, panic and anxiety, mental illness, difficulty with life transitions, substance use, or low self-esteem. My work emphasizes the importance of love, connection, authenticity, and our relationship with our body. I help you (re)connect with yourself, overcome burnout or stress, and help you learn to live a balanced, empowered, and meaningful life.

I have 20+ years of therapeutic work with individuals and groups in various settings including community agencies and hospital units. I am a registered Psychotherapist.

I am now accepting new clients. I can provide behavioural, relational and strength-based counselling for children and youth. My activity-based learning introduces and reinforces the concepts in a non-threatening, fun and engaging manner. I utilize books, games and videos to teach the strategies and skills that make learning these new tools fun.

My primary goal in counselling is to support clients in their understanding of self. Recognition of your individual dignity, value and unique experiences allows you to journey towards stronger mental health. Even difficult times can support growth, new found knowledge and strength and potential. Counselling allows me to help you recognize and enhance your own power to thrive and/or heal. Reflective practice and careful listening allows me to see and hear the pieces of your story that you may be too close to notice.

Do you experience unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, attitudes, or pains without necessarily being aware of the underlying causes of them? Do you experience ongoing symptoms of anxiety or depression? Have you faced the loss of a loved one or friend or suffered from an incident (divorce, car accident, an assault, etc.,) which continues to cause you ongoing emotional or physical pain? I use a client-centred approach to guiding clients in addressing and releasing unwanted emotional or behavioural after-effects of life events such as grief/loss, injuries, illness, relationship concerns and other painful life experiences.

I focus on providing a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
