Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Port Stanley, ON

Therapy is a collaborative process in which I invest deeply into meeting the individual clients needs. I use a very systematic, goal oriented and reinforcement based method, to meet the goals collaboratively set out by the individual, couple or family, while keeping your values and beliefs at the fore front. I offer a warm and friendly approach to foster a strong rapport with clients and believe in supporting your goals while offering my personal and professional insight.

I work collaboratively with my clients to find ways to manage their problems, so they can get back to living a fulfilling life. I assist individuals who are struggling with anxiety and stress, motivation issues, feelings of sadness, social anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, workplace stress, chronic headaches, and concussion. I have worked in a variety of mental health agencies providing counselling to students, adults and individuals from different sociocultural backgrounds, gender expressions, sexual orientations and gender identities.

As human beings we may feel lost/stuck due to painful or challenging life experiences. This can impact our ability to live our lives fully. I am passionate about working with individuals who have concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, grief, and life transitions/work-life balance. Support may look different for each person, while some may want to focus on building coping strategies, others may seek a deeper healing process. One of our first steps will be building awareness of your needs, the change you want in your life and identifying your goals to make this change possible.

The LCTT is an award-winning psychotherapy clinic. We understand your pain- depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelm. We know you're tired of living the same old story, that you want to move on from the past but don't know how. When your parenting, relationships and happiness are all suffering, you need change and you need help. It is so frustrating when you wonder, "what is wrong with me?!" or- you know what's wrong, but have no idea how to change. Maybe the ways you have tried before have failed you, or only lasted a little while. Take a breath- you're in the right spot and we are going to help you transform.

We are a private practice of psychologists, behavior therapists and assessors. We are here to help you live a better life; to figure out how you or a member of your family can change behavior patterns that are not working any more. We mostly see clients in our office and on occasion see you at your home. We treat you with respect and compassion.

Most people will face challenges in their lives, whether it's symptoms of a mental health concern (e.g. anxiety/depression) or situational (e.g. work, relationships). These challenges can lead us off track, struggling to cope and we find ourselves feeling unfulfilled or distressed. I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, relationship issues, trauma, grief and work/life balance concerns. I aim to tailor my approach to each individual client so they feel able to implement the change they want. This may include a focus on learning skills or building a deeper awareness.

If you're trying to figure out who you are and what you're all about, you're in the right place. I provide a safe space and support to hear and help you explore and all aspects of yourself. Whether you want to be more authentic, understand your needs and building boundaries, explore gender identity, sexual orientation, or your relationships, I can help you to gain clarity, while nurturing your personal growth and authenticity. I also have extensive experience in geriatrics and love working with seniors to address the particular issues they face. I also have a thorough understanding of issues facing LGBTQIA+ that are beyond textbook.

This hectic and at times uncertain life can feel overwhelming. When we lack grounding and direction it can feel like we will lose control of our emotions and ourselves. I practice counseling from a non-judgmental and acceptance based perspective where we can use your strengths, past lived experiences and new skills developed during the therapeutic relationship to move through the hard times and achieve your goals. My approach is to support you to identify the habits and patterns in relationships with yourself and others that may not be serving you and with this new awareness move towards your valued goals. EFT and EMDR Certified.

I became passionate about social work after practicing family law for many years and watching the court system fail parents and children experiencing separation and divorce. I have since completed my MSW to focus on therapeutic and collaborative co-parenting work, mediation, and help individuals navigate high-conflict separation and divorce, and healthy parenting post-divorce. I also enjoy helping individuals with anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem, academic and career issues. Moreover, I have experience in supporting parents with their children’s learning disabilities, school, and issues with peers.

Are you or your teen/child feeling stressed, stuck, unmotivated or alone? Do you find that your thoughts and/or emotions are getting in your way? Maybe you want to make changes but aren't sure where to start? Perhaps you describe yourself as anxious, stressed, unsure or unmotivated?

As a Christian Therapist with specialized training in psychotherapy, I have seen men and women of faith struggle with anxiety, depression, relational conflicts, PTSD, addictions, etc. I've heard them question God’s love and presence in their lives. There is no denying that life can get messy sometimes! However, one thing I have come to know as true, as a Christian and in my almost 20 years of working with people is that, "The Lord uses Everything in our lives to bring about His purposes." Let's look at Jonah for example; we read that the Lord 'caused' a large fish to swallow him after he attempted to run away from his calling.

I am accepting new clients! Life often unfolds with unexpected moments that can feel overwhelming, leaving us wondering how to navigate them. The daily habits we fall into can become burdens, weighing us down. If you've ever found yourself saying things like, "I'm stuck, and I don't know what to do" or, "I don't know how I can make it through this," I want you to know that you are not alone. I know first-hand that therapy can be intimidating. Opening up and sharing your experiences and beliefs with someone you've just met can feel like a daunting task. I want to encourage you, even if therapy feels challenging, it will be worth it.

Ever feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have all her stuff together? When you see other moms around you, they all seem like they know exactly what they’re doing, while you’re lost in a sea of confusion, stress, boredom, sadness, and anger? You’re left feeling alone, broken, and just not good enough. The worries build up, and you’re not sure what to do with them - they’re taking up too much space in your brain. You just want to feel normal again. We help with postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and postpartum psychosis. Dads can struggle too! If your partner is having a hard time, we're here for them as well.
