Female Therapists in Schomberg, ON

We all need support in navigating life’s hardships, which can leave us feeling stuck, alone and overwhelmed. I strive to create a safe, caring, collaborative and supportive environment for you to explore life’s hardships, while also encouraging you to recognize your strengths. It is important for me to create connection, understanding, compassion, empathy and self-growth in your therapeutic experience. My goal is to support you in developing tools and coping strategies, while also digging deeper to create understanding of the underlying origin of patterns and themes within your life that are no longer serving you.

Establishing a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with clients is my priority. My goal is to meet you where you are at, as you navigate your path. I utilize evidence based therapeutic interventions such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Solution Focused Approaches. I have had the privilege of working with clients in a therapeutic setting for over 20 years.

Welcome! I'm Katie :) I am compassionate, attentive, and hopeful for change as I journey with clients towards reaching their counselling goals. .I understand clients are approaching me with difficcult and personal issues. I am passionate about empowering clients to face their mental health challenges so they can realize the hope that exists for them to live a fuller life. I also recognize the need to support, equip, and educate members of the community ( family members, friends, colleagues etc.) of those living with difficult mental health trials.

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. My deep-seated passion is rooted in delivering compassionate support and fostering a secure and nurturing space for my clients as they embark on their personal journeys of growth and self-discovery. By prioritizing a client-centered approach, I firmly uphold the belief that individuals possess an inherent wisdom about their own lives. Grounded in this belief, my goal is to guide clients in pursuing their objectives while respecting their distinctive values and autonomy.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

Life can present challenging experiences that can leave us feeling stuck or broken and keep us from living the life we want. I empower clients to overcome this and to return to the wholeness that is their true nature. I work with teens and young adults who experience high levels of stress or anxiety, depression, relentless self-blame or shame, perfectionism, burn-out, low self-esteem, relationship issues, difficulty in regulating and/or expressing their emotions, and/or who have experienced trauma. I will hold compassionate space for you to be heard and to move towards the change you wish to see.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, client centered therapeutic space for individuals and couples. I believe that a journey towards healing requires empathy, encouragement and supportive facilitation as we often haven't had the opportunity to learn ways to cope with traumatic experiences and life related stressors. This can result in dysregulation and feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelm in our day to day lives and relationships. Let's work together to explore and address your concerns in an open minded, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex/body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive space.

Are you struggling with trouble sleeping, chronic worry, obsessing about the past, work stress, challenging relationships, negative thoughts, or physical manifestations of anxiety? I am here to support you. Living in a state of overwhelm can become our new normal, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I firmly believe that even in the darkest moments, it’s never too late to seek help and receive the support you deserve.

You handle a LOT in your life, but it's starting to take its toll on your mental wellbeing. I can help you navigate this concern, while improving your relationship with yourself and with others (i.e. romantic, professional, etc). Maybe your mental wellbeing is getting in the way of what's important to you. Maybe the demands of your life are impacting your mental health! Either way, I can help. I'm best known for supporting strong independent women who want more out of life or know that something has to change.

Hey there, I do Short Term Focused therapy and CBT. I can help with anger, anxiety, depression, family or work related issues. I charge $125.00 (no tax) 50 min. I am available for text, phone call or video counselling especially if you require evenings or weekends. If you are in crisis mode I am willing to speak to you where you are in the moment. I have many years of experience with adults, children, youth and families. I have worked in schools, hospital, public and private practise. Together we can sort out whats going on and be relieved of the stress of daily living. Bless

Compassionate and effective trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and loss therapy. I work with adults who have survived a trauma and/or loss and want to move forward. My clients have thoughts like, "I should have done something different" or "I am a bad mother/father/daughter/son/sibling." In our work together, you will feel less shame and guilt. Moreover, somewhere between two to six months of treatment, my clients feel more fulfilled and more in-control of their symptoms. They also begin to use more balanced and grounded thoughts and beliefs. I work with trauma from being a first responder, navigating divorce/separation, infertility, and death.

Taking care of our mental health is more important than ever. Therapy allows you to comfortably share the thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationship issues that are most troubling in your life. Therapy is a collaborative process, where clients are the experts in their own lives. Together, we will develop an understanding of who you are and the core aspects of what has brought you to therapy. We then will work on building on the strengths you already have and learn further strategies to put you forward in the life you want to lead.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Do you ever feel like nobody gets you or you are often misunderstood? Do you find yourself scrolling on your phone at night because you have difficulty sleeping? This space will be yours to explore your emotions, thoughts, and feelings without outside judgment or bias. I guide clients toward understanding themselves better and achieving their goals while meeting them where they are at. I address a range of concerns, including trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, guilt/shame, and life/career transitions. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, ACT, SFT, DBT, and EFT.

Anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and relationship issues can be isolating and exhausting. Are you feeling stuck in repetitive cycles of anxiety, depression, anger, intrusive negative thoughts, emotional distress and dysregulation? Are you engaging in unhealthy behaviours to cope? Struggling with relationships? Is it difficult for you to love yourself, to connect with the present, to achieve your goals? Perhaps you just feel stuck overall and don’t know how to move forward from this place you find yourself in. "Stuck" can be a hard and lonely place to be - I want to help you. I believe that knowledge is power!

I went into private practice because of my commitment to change. Whether its battling the injustice we live in or the inner battles we experience that are shaped by our own unique stories, we all might pass a time in our lives where we long to see change happen. With my role as a therapist, I am committed to helping you reach the desired change your are seeking. I will work in partnership with you to help you discover your potential for change and help you achieve your goals and move toward living a fulfilling, purposeful and meaningful life.

Welcome! I strongly believe that we all have healing capacities, internal strengths, and resiliency. Yet, sometimes we experience situations, thoughts or emotions that are distressing, challenging or uncomfortable and we find ourselves stuck or unsure of how to move forward. In these times, therapy can be a supportive place to explore and empower you to discover the next steps on your life journey. I am a Registered Social Worker and have been providing therapy for children, adolescents and adults for the last 8years. I work to create a safe space to join individuals on their journey to reflect, process, learn and heal.

Whether you are working through past childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting hurdles, people pleasing or relationship complexities, my aim is to connect you to your inner system for exploration, deep healing and self compassion. After engaging in this work, my clients are better able to regulate their nervous systems and find more peace in their lives. This work also enables them to become more present for their children, families and loved ones. My style as a therapist is compassionate and easy going. I like to bring in a natural warmth and humour into all of my sessions.

In order to feel safe and in control, you may have learned certain survival and coping strategies to keep you grounded. Perhaps you are a child of immigrants, struggling to exist between two cultures. Or maybe you were afraid to disappoint others and taught yourself to never have any needs or boundaries. These behaviours, while understandable, may no longer serve you in the ways that you need. Together, we can explore and unpack your life experiences, offer understanding and validation to the shutdown parts of you, and learn to take up space and exist in our world. Psychotherapy can promote healing, resiliency and self-empowerment.

Has trauma left you feeling lost, on edge, generally scared, or disconnected from others? Are there childhood experiences you'd like to resolve? Do you struggle in relationships and often feel alone, misunderstood and somehow different? Has your experience with a religious group left you feeling bad about who you are and with more fears than answers? Are you struggling with the question, "Who am I"? Does depression or anxiety leave you spinning or struggling to enjoy life? I have experience working in these areas with clients, and it would be my privilege to join you as you work your way through to the other side.
