Chronic Illness Therapists in Maple, ON

I am an accomplished and compassionate clinical social worker who has been practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years in various clinical settings. I bring a wide range of skilled approaches to therapy sessions, and have extensive experience working with clients of all ages, backgrounds and complex life situations. My fields of specialization include anxiety and depression, transitions across the life course, caregiving, chronic illness, dementia, grief and bereavement, family dynamics and school and workplace stress. I am licensed in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

I am passionate about parenting, and how we raise children to be resilient, independent, kind, compassionate, and responsible young adults. I help parents of typical children and those with special needs, by providing evidence-based tools and strategies. I assist with mental health issues that emerge for parents, including issues arising from one's own childhood. I teach you how to communicate, manage conflict, parent as a team, advocate for your children at school, and calmly address parenting issues that trigger anger and frustration. I help you support your children in a loving manner while maintaining boundaries and limits.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless or coping with a loss? Reaching out for support is a courageous first step towards making changes or healing from a loss. When we are experiencing challenges, transitions or loss, we can benefit from an opportunity to explore what is impacting our well-being and to reflect on what we have lost and what remains. You don't have to go through such challenges alone. My passion for my work, combined with unique skillset and expertise can help you find clarity, overcome obstacles, and live your life with more ease, acceptance and meaning.

Years ago whilst dealing with some health issues that affected me both mentally and physically a mentor/counsellor told me to “change my thoughts, in order to change my world. Because my present circumstances at the time did not determine were I go, but where I started." Hence, I do understand how mental and physical struggles can impact one's life and that admitting to those struggles and asking for help is never easy. I am here to walk alongside you on the journey to healing and restoration.

I would like to support you with your life challenges, stressors, depression and anxiety. I want to help you reach your goals effectively through warm and empathic interaction. I can provide a warm space if you are looking for a caring and empathic therapist. As an affirmative therapist, I also work with BIPOC and LGBTQ populations, with extensive training in couples work. I facilitate non-judgementally and can walk us through collaborative and effective approaches. I have extensive experience working with ADHD, Autism and Neurodiversity and specialize in Brainspotting Trauma therapy. I want to understand your lived experiences.

Utilizing various evidence-based practices, such as EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis, CBT, Narrative, and more, I work in the most efficient way, collaborating with you to find the best solutions for you. Drawing from 15 years of experience, during our journey together, you will learn practical and effective tools to alleviate distressing feelings, while we work on permanent resolutions for the root cause of the symptoms you encounter. Together, we resolve problems such as: anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, chronic pain, phobia, grief, OCD, or any combination. From first meeting you will leave with practical tools to apply, and feeling better.

Hi, I'm Dr. Greg Tippin a clinical, health, and rehabilitation psychologist who works with adults at MindFit, a leading psychology clinic (or as we prefer to say, "mental health gym") in Toronto. Just like a "typical" gym, MindFit was designed to be accessible and inviting to anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being. My approach is generally structured (with weekly handouts), evidence-based, and designed to help you develop practical and effective skills and strategies to achieve your wellness goals. I would be happy to offer you a free 15-minute consult to see if I would be a great fit for you!

I am a Registered Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals who have experienced intergenerational trauma. Do you fear disappointing anyone? Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you feel responsible for how others feel? Are you great at taking care of others but struggle to recognize your own needs? Impacts of childhood family trauma can be pervasive and show up in our adult lives in the form of anxiety, depression, family and relationship conflicts, and low self-esteem/self-worth.

Are you feeling trapped, anxious, or hopeless? Is your body holding onto the painful experiences that you have endured? I work in partnership with my clients to process the enduring impacts of trauma. These challenges may surface as difficulties in relationships and attachments, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I aim to create a warm and safe environment for clients to share their experiences. There's an intricate dance between the seen and unseen, the physical and the emotional, and I've come to realize that true understanding lies at the intersection of these realms.

Hi I'm Judy, Director at Your Story Counselling (YSC). At YSC, we understand that life can be stressful, it's easy to become disconnected from ourselves and those we love. Our goal is to help you find what you need in order to create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life. When we open ourselves up to our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves up to our full potential. We believe that all of us have the strength within ourselves to overcome and forge ahead with our own preferred way of life, love, and happiness. We all can use some help and support from time to time.

With over 10 years of supporting clients in navigating physical, emotional, and spiritual pain, I have been privileged to witness the healing and transformation that has taken place for many people like yourself. Healing that has been paved by clarity in decision making, unconditional acceptance of self, resilience, peace within, and an incredible ability to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.

Choosing the right therapist is a big deal. Just like a travel partner will impact the experiences you have on your trip, your therapist will impact how your mental health journey unfolds. I commend you for making this important decision thoughtfully. To tell you a bit about myself, I am a psychologist working with adults facing a variety of life struggles including trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, shame, health issues and life transitions. I am grateful to have received training in a range of modalities including mindfulness, compassion focused, emotion focused, CBT and psychodynamic therapies.
