Therapists in London, ON

I offer talk, art therapy and play-based counselling and psychotherapy for children, youth and families. One of my core beliefs is that, like a compass trying to find its true north, everyone intuitively orientates towards health. I am respectful of each participant's unique journey back to health and wholeness. Most extended insurance plans provide full or partial coverage for psychotherapy services.

Hello! I am Juanita (she/her) and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) recently graduated from my Masters in Counselling Psychology. I believe that there is no problem too big or too small for therapy, and I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. My goal is to help individuals move through life barriers, connect with their true selves, and find ways to dictate their own journey and life story. Together, we can create a safe space, examine and explore our experiences, establish goals, and create person-specific coping strategies, to help you better navigate your life.

Professionally I have supported individuals with highly complex needs for 25 years. This has ranged from assessment and treatment of moderate to severely challenging behaviours and specialized services for people with mental health challenges, dual diagnosis, learning challenges, acquired brain injury and post-concussion rehabilitation and counselling. In my experience it is essential to first understand individuals as unique individuals irregardless of their label or challenges and develop a trusting relationship. In this context difficulties can be discussed openly and change and growth can occur.

Imagine you have a cup that is full to the brim. You walk through life making sure the cup never spills, and you are so focused on keeping the cup steady that you don’t notice things going on around you. You don't react in big ways because it will tip the cup over. Suddenly, one final drop makes the whole cup overflow. You wonder - "What's wrong with me? I have been managing to hold on to this cup all this time and now everything is everywhere and outside of my control." Now, if the cup was actually half empty, one extra drop wouldn't make a big difference. Are you ready to start emptying your cup?

Counselling can help you to develop a different relationship with the “chatter” in your head that tells you that you ”aren’t good enough” and that keeps you from daring greatly.  It can help you to look at the stories in your life that counter your shame—and give them a voice.  It can help you to acknowledge and accept loss in a compassionate manner as you would want for a friend.  It can help you to recognize your relationship with your mental health and how you interact with it.  It allows you to sort through your values and support you living in a way that aligns with what you want.  Counselling looks to support these and more.

Everyone’s story matters. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin the process of unpacking and understanding your own story. Perhaps your story is just beginning and you’re struggling to figure out who you are, who you want to be, what's most important to you. Perhaps your story has left you with a negative sense of self and unfulfilling relationships that seem to continually let you down. Or perhaps your story has left you feeling ineffective, overwhelmed and insecure. My ideal clients are motivated to write new chapters in their lives, and it's my sincere honour to be able to support them on their journey.

I serve a diverse set of communities, including teens, adults, seniors, couples and families. I am passionate about supporting clients who have experienced traumatic events, struggles with mental illness, addictions and chronic pain. I also support folks who are struggling with conflict, communication, emotion regulation, workload and burnout within their work or school setting.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating challenges such as neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Perhaps you’ve found yourself stuck, isolated, or harshly critical of yourself. Maybe a significant life change feels suffocating or you're racialized person struggling with your mental health while also combating society's ideas of you. If you're navigating the challenges of neurodivergence, have been diagnosed later in life, struggle with your self-worth or identify as a racialized person who struggles to be vulnerable in todays climate, I see you. I'm here to listen, understand, and empower you.

You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background of everything you do. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing helps for long
