Hello and welcome! I know taking the first step to seek support can be difficult. This is why I choose to center my practice around creating a non-judgmental and safe space, where thoughts and feelings can be freely explored. I work hand-in-hand with clients to create an individualized treatment plan that's tailored to fit their needs.

My name is Stacy Bremner. I have been in private practice for almost 20 years and I love what I do. I offer opportunities for self-discovery, healing and empowerment in a safe, accepting atmosphere.

Hello and welcome! I am passionate about supporting the mental health and overall wellness of others in a kind, considerate, respectful way. I work with people experiencing a wide range of wellness challenges, including ADHD, BPD, stress, anxiety, anger, depression, intense emotions, relationship challenges, and difficult circumstances. I enjoy connecting with others, listening to clients' stories and offering a safe, non-judgmental space for them to unpack their personal challenges, gain new insights into themselves, and develop additional coping skills.

Life can be tough, but remember, so are you. From depression, anxiety, postpartum and parenting issues, or unexpected loss, I can help. These challenges can feel almost impossible to handle, especially on your own. Let me help you navigate these difficulties.

We help people overcome the aftermath of a trauma. Whether it's nightmares, intrusive memories or intense emotions like guilt and shame. We will teach you practical skills and tools to move on with your life so that you can put an end to the cycle of trauma-related symptoms. We work with a variety of people and trauma histories including near-death experiences, witnessing death, war, sexual and physical abuse, traumatic loss like suicide or accidental overdose, and complex trauma histories, etc.

Hi there – thanks for clicking on my page. I can appreciate that choosing a therapist who is a good fit can be a journey in and of itself. There can be a lot of choice and it can be difficult to know where to start or what to look for. I find it awkward to introduce myself on a website so feel free to connect with for a free 15-minute phone/video chat (where I believe my personable and professional nature better comes through). If either of us feels that we are not a good fit, I am happy to help assist you in narrowing your search from there.

Connecting for therapy can feel overwhelming and near impossible at times. We will use the strengths and experiences you bring to the table to help build a path that moves you closer to where you want to be. Let’s work on putting yourself back onto the priority list and reaffirming that you are worthy of taking care of yourself. Since we are connecting virtually, we can find a small pocket of time in your busy schedule to build skills and strategies that you can use long past our therapy journey together. I will integrate various therapeutic approaches to suit your unique goals.

Are your past experiences impacting the way you feel or the way you can connect with the people around you today? We have a team of trauma-informed psychotherapists that are ready to support you on your healing journey.

There’s so much you’d like to do, yet it feels like your life has come to a standstill. Inner chaos and pain, or numbness and disconnection seem to take up so much space, making you lose valuable time. You’re exhausted from living in fear, or dealing with the frustration, bitterness, or shame that comes with not being able to move forward. While your experience can lead to isolation as you find it hard to be around anybody, you may also find it difficult to be alone at all, impacting your ability to have healthy relationships. You feel as though pieces of your life have been lost along the way and all you want is to have them back.

“Whenever You Find Yourself Doubting How Far You Can Go, Just Remember How Far You Have Come. Remember Everything You Have Faced, All The Battles You Have Won, And All The Fears You Have Overcome.”

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be your true authentic self? To be our true, authentic selves, is to know who we are, be compassionate with ourselves, and to live in our values and our truths. This is a goal of so many clients who seek therapy- to better understand themselves, and to be the best they can be. Therapy is a place to discover yourself, to heal from your past experiences and to grow through what you go through. Authenticity can only be built when safety is present, and that is why I strive to create a safe and strong relationship with all of my clients.

I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals who have faced gender-based violence, acquired brain injury, and those within the LGBTQIA+ community. Drawing from my own experiences with acquired brain injury and gender-based violence, I offer a deeply empathetic and understanding approach. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I actively engage in community initiatives that celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity.

There are many different reasons why you might be seeking out guidance from a therapist. Maybe you’re at a place where you want to develop yourself in a particular area. Maybe you have experienced significant trauma. Or maybe you are going through a difficult transition, whether it was planned or not, and need help navigating it. Whatever might be happening in your life right now, I want you to know that I will help you each step of the way. Nothing is too small or too big to talk about. "Together, we will work on understanding the issue at hand and then we will work together to strive for the change you want to see in your life."

Struggling with excessive worry, frequent negative thoughts or intense emotions can be overwhelming and leave you feeling stuck. It can be hard to know what to do. It might feel like worry or your inner critic is in control. You may want things to change but not know how to make change happen. The things you are trying to do to cope might only be working in the short term, and the problems keep coming up. It is possible to learn new ways to cope with thoughts and feelings, so that they don't have so much control over what you do.

Do you have feelings that are difficult to put into words? This struggle to understand and express can lead to anxiety, a lack of energy or focus, a sense of being disconnected from others- and yourself. Making art can help to get those thoughts and feelings out, and help you find your voice. You can begin to experience a shift- a sense of purpose that comes from bringing out your own strengths. I bring my background and experience in teaching, art and psychotherapy to my practice, offering children and adults a space to explore and express their thoughts and feelings- and to get creative in how to move forward.

Maybe you feel muddled, overwhelmed and/or paralyzed by day-to-day life. Stuck within competing responsibilities in this increasingly fast-paced world. There might be times when you feel stuck in patterns that leave life feeling unsatisfying and empty. Recognizing how the past contaminates the present is essential within trauma-focused psychotherapy and/or relationship psychotherapy. Self-awareness provides the ability to identify embedded core beliefs that interfere with creating a life worth living.

We all want to belong, feel loved, and live a happy life. Our biology drives us to seek out other people even when we’ve been hurt by others. It can be so hard to nurture our needs for connection and our urges to self-protect from potential hurt. You deserve to feel a sense of belonging while feeling safe and secure in your relationships with yourself and others. Let’s look at how you can truly be your natural self, make space for all of you. Because your natural self is enough and deserves to be loved and cared for.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario with over 10 years experience. I have a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology, Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, and a Mental Health and Addiction Worker diploma. I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Strength-Based/Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach is to work from a non-oppressive/non-judgmental perspective, while encouraging clients to make their own life decisions.

I understand how challenging life can feel, and my passion lies in supporting you on your journey to address life challenges, navigate uncertainties, and foster self-empowerment. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, worry, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, or interpersonal challenges, please know you do not have to navigate these concerns alone! We can work together to develop skills that will allow you to tackle the challenges life throws at you with greater confidence.

Trauma isn't about an event itself - it is about our reactions to it. For over a decade, I have worked with people who have experienced a variety of complex traumas. Together, we will work to transform your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual responses that have been impacted by trauma. We will explore a variety of interventions to help calm the nervous system, forge safe mind-body connections, integrate aspects of the self that have split or dissociated, process traumatic memories and find new meaning or post traumatic growth.

Pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the transition to parenthood can be full of both joy and challenges. Our relationships with those around us and ourselves can shift and change over time. As you navigate this new role difficult emotions, uncertainty, overwhelm and a change in identity can be part of the journey.
