Female Therapists in Newmarket, ON

Life presents us with many ups and downs. At times, we need someone who will listen in a way that allows us to feel heard. My intention as a therapist is to create a space for honest conversations, leading to a path of self awareness and self discovery. I am a Registered Social Worker and I have a Masters in Social Work from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University). I have extensive experience supporting clients of all ages from marginalized communities, who struggle with isolation, life transitions, and academic challenges.

Life is difficult! But it is important to know that you don’t have to do it alone. From personal experience, I know how a non-judgmental, safe, & empowering space can allow for self-exploration & personal growth. My goal is to be aware of your individual needs & put your well-being first. I utilize a client-centred approach that integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, & solution focused therapy to collaborate with clients on their desired goals & outcomes of our sessions.

Do you have difficulty putting words to your experiences and articulating your needs? Do you struggle naming your emotions? Do you feel stuck and want to create a way forward? As an Art Psychotherapist RT-Q I offer a safe, inclusive, therapeutic space, in person or virtually, where I listen to you and offer custom creative approaches for your challenges. Art Therapy helps see issues from a different perspective, and helps visual and tactile learner see, touch, and create new coping skills. Art promotes self-expression, creative problem solving, sensory integration, self-regulation and releases our inner-creator and voice.

Life can be beautiful, filled with joy and meaningful experiences. Life can also be messy, confusing and very painful. When we don’t know how to navigate these experiences, we can be left feeling either disconnected or overwhelmed by our emotions and unable to show up effectively in our lives and in our relationships. I want you to know that you are not alone. For over a decade, I have provided assessment and psychotherapy to individuals struggling with mental health and relationship challenges. I’m particularly passionate about the area of relationships – the parenting relationship, couple relationship, and relationship to self.

Are you feeling stuck? Is anxiety controlling your thoughts and actions? Do you find yourself fearful that the anxiety will never go away? Are you finding that your ways of coping are not working anymore? Perhaps you are saying hurtful things to yourself. I can help! Together we can create a unique toolkit for you based on your needs. You will understand how your anxiety was created and you will learn how to take your power back to create the life you want. With your new tools, you will learn new ways to navigate life and its challenges.

I practice holistic counselling through a client-centered lens, considering all aspects of individuality. I strive to work closely with my clients to foster growth through self-acceptance. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my therapeutic approach utilizes a combination of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I have experience working with diverse populations in an individual and group capacity. I aspire to aid in empowering my clients to work towards self-actualization in a safe, compassionate and judgement-free environment.

Being a mom can be so hard. It feels like you spend so much time and energy taking care of everyone and everything, yet you can never catch up. There’s always more to do, and often it feels like you’re not doing any of it right. There’s no manual for motherhood, so we’re left to muddle through as best as we can. And as if our own expectations, worries, and pressures aren’t enough, there are so many demands placed on us by society that it often just feels impossible. It’s no wonder being a mom can be so challenging.

I believe that clients are the experts in their life and aim to act as a guide in helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients from a holistic perspective that focuses on the interconnectedness of the whole being – the mind, body and soul. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, healing, integrative counselling approach by combining traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments, such as Breathwork, EFT Tapping/Thought Field Therapy, Mindfulness and Reiki Energy Healing modalities when appropriate.

My therapeutic approach is to create inner harmony between your thoughts and emotions. I do this by creating integrative therapeutic experiences utilizing evidence based therapies such as CBT, DBT, Clinical Hypnosis, Brief Solution Based Counselling along with cutting edge holistic methods of mindfulness and client centered psychotherapy. Incorporating these cognitive therapies with the mind and body allows for a unique experience where you can heal from past trauma and move forward with new enthusiasm and excitement.

As a psychotherapist it is my job to help clients foster change by using educational background, experience, and insight. I work with individuals of all ages, couples and families and understand the importance of relationships, and how at our core, everyone wants to be heard. I see therapy as a resource that can be used to see strengths, create confidence, and develop skills that will last a lifetime. I look forward to creating this confidence within my clients and find joy in helping them find their voice.

When struggles touch our lives, reaching out for guidance and support in an empathic, safe environment can assist us in addressing life stressors and foster healing. My goal is to collaboratively cultivate such a space with you so that you are free to explore, empowered to reach insights, and encouraged to engage in new and constructive strategies. All the while, shedding light on your strengths and abilities to cope and thrive. I have an interest in working with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, stress, burnout, parenting, and relational concerns.

Are you seeking support to get to the root of of it all and want to show up for yourself in the face of pain, stuckness, loss/grief, challenging relationships, transitions and trauma? Noticing negative patterns/symptoms? I get how hard it is to challenge every negative thought. Feeling disconnected to yourself and others? Perhaps you are struggling with past or present issue/s. It’s a lot to navigate alone. For 20 yrs I've supported clients who've experienced the complexities of life including anxiety, depression, stress, illness, abuse, work issue, parenting/family dynamics with special interest in neurobiology, trauma and loss.

Become the best version of You! The goal at SOS Psychotherapy is to help you move from your pain and step into your possibilities. Opening up about trauma, mental health, stress and the suicidal mind is not yet widely accepted, making it more difficult to seek help and support when it is most critical to your wellbeing. This is what Sajel is best known for…her expertise, human connection and comfortable conversation! With guided practice with evidence-based tools, learn how to gain perspective, leverage your pain points and move towards your preferred possibilities. You have found a Safe Space...take the next step.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

It can be difficult trying to cope with distressing times on your own. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. My role is to give you caring, non-judgmental support so that you can make sense of your emotions and gain a clearer picture of how your past plays a role in your current relationships. You will begin by telling me about yourself and the reasons why you've come to therapy and then we can explore together new ways of reflecting and interacting that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

Children are constantly evolving and growing and during their journey they sometimes need some support to encourage and help them to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. During this time parents are also growing and evolving. Parenting can be both the most challenging and rewarding experience we have but sometimes during those challenging times we need some support.
