Are you or a loved one struggling with substance use/abuse/dependence? Feeling stuck/trapped/hopeless? I can relate. With more than 20 years lived experience on the path of personal recovery, for over a decade I have been assisting individuals change the trajectory of their lives.

At times, life can be challenging. I've learned that these lived experiences are important in therapy. Whether it is a loss of a loved one, self-esteem, body image, family conflicts or care giver burnout…I’ve been there and I can help support you with that.

By leveraging an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy and life coaching, I guide you toward taking transformational steps toward a positive, healthful, balanced, and fulfilling life. My approach combines psychodynamic, narrative, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. I specialize in 'depth therapy' or 'depth work,' an insightful practice aimed at uncovering and addressing the root cause of emotional distress and fostering the development of a strong core identity. Reflect deeply on yourself in a respectful, safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment.

We have extensive training to help you find solutions or provide a listening ear. We've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and ages and what’s most important to know is that at the heart of healing… is connection.

Let us support you in making positive changes and living your best life.

Managing our relationships, work, school, and life changes can feel overwhelming. You may be overthinking about friends, jobs and relationships, or having a difficult time developing and maintaining positive relationships with family, friends, or partners. While these challenges pile up, anxiety, anger, and sadness can start to cloud our thinking making it hard to tackle what we're experiencing on our own. Therapy can help us cope with what we're are going through, while also helping us learn more about ourselves along the way and regain control over parts of our life we felt we lost.

I believe that every person is doing their best to navigate the many parts of life. When I think of therapy, I imagine someone rowing, and encountering challenging waters. Navigating unexpected circumstances requires thinking outside the box so they can reach their destination. Throughout their journey, they gain new perspectives because of both the challenges and beauty encountered along the way. I am here to row with you, entering the unknown together. I have always been passionate about holding space for others. I provide a safe, warm, approachable, and non-judgemental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Relationship Success: Couples and individuals can overcome relationship challenges and deepen the connection within yourself and to each other. Joy and happiness depends on building positive connection. It is foundational to personal and relationship fulfillment. The more we understand ourselves and the people that matter to us, the more we can live up to our full potential. I help you to find your personal truth and transform your relationships with others and yourself. When we are truly ourselves, we say yes to life and naturally let go of what no longer serves us.

Do you struggle with anxiety or depression affecting your ability to function at work or home? Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought that there's no light at the end of the tunnel?

Not addressing your depression and anxiety can lead to feeling exhausted and unable to function. We believe it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple, or family who want(s) to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals (such as emotional and interpersonal wellness) aimed at supporting a sustained improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated (with an eye toward resolution), or aimed at sustained long-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My ideal client is simply someone who wants to improve the quality of their life in a way that is meaningful to them.

Understanding that the challenges we face in life and healing our mind, body and soul is diverse; my goal as your therapist, is to create a space where you can deepen your understanding of your own experiences and feel empowered to work towards your therapeutic goals. I enjoy working with individuals, and couples who would like to make positive changes in their lives or who are looking for support and guidance.

Clients work with me to support them when they are feeling stuck; or faced with decision making and change which is weighing on them; or through times of distress in relationships, with career transitions or career development, parenting or life in general. Clients also work with me when they are being proactive with their emotional and mental health and want to stay focussed on their wellbeing. Whatever brings you to this place you are welcome. Setting up a free 15 minute phone consult is the first step. This allows us to both see if how I work could be a good fit for you at this time.

Imagine a space where science and art harmonize, meeting you with understanding and creativity: this is the heart (and brain) of my therapy practice. I invite you on an exploration as unique as you are, where empathy lights the way. You are not alone, and I am so proud of you for taking this step! My own journey, where I overcame being unable to read until the 3rd grade, testifies that no obstacle is insurmountable with creativity, commitment, and support. I believe that for everyone, regardless of the cards dealt, there exist many paths to a fulfilling life—let’s discover together how your own path might unfold most vibrantly.

Life is short and then one day you wake up and realize years have gone past with very little change in your life. The struggle is real and can keep you stuck, disconnected, lost, or holding onto fears (disguised in many ways) for a very long time! Working together we will begin by healing your past and embracing your future. We will shift to find new perspectives, understanding past patterns, and being curious about your relationships (current and past). We also work together to shift from confusion to clarity, from self-loath to self-respect, from lack to abundance. We find tools to clearly focus on Re-building your new life.

Hello, my name is Debbie Papadakis. My goal is to empower you to unfold your inherent potential by accessing the subconscious mind using a combination of psychotherapy with hypnotherapy to help you live a healthy, wealthy, productive and happy life. For more than 25 years, I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, couples and groups from diverse backgrounds to help empower them to overcome limiting beliefs, unwanted behaviours, negative thoughts and emotions, addictions and/or afflictions, fears and phobias that were hindering them from achieving their goals, unleashing their full potential, and living in harmony.

Hi! I am Gabrielle and I am glad you found my page. I am here to explore your options and guide you to make the best choices that fit your life. Taking the first step in seeking support can be overwhelming but the good news is that once you take that step forward, things can only get better. As a therapist, I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.

When we’re facing a major life crisis or wanting to unpack the trauma of our childhood, anxiety and depression often get in the way and create a form of paralysis. In such painful situations how change can occur is extremely difficult to imagine. Psychotherapy is an organic process to help us change; seek our authentic self, develop our relationships with others, and to discover how to regulate our nervous system. We can relearn how to play i.e., by uncovering our (temporarily) lost sense of joy. We can reframe and update the self so as to create tools helping us navigate life’s beauty and paradoxes!

I love working with clients on their relationships! That is, their relationships with their partners, children or other family members, but most importantly, their relationship with themselves! Perhaps you're here because you need to recharge after a break-up, an argument, a traumatic incident, a loss, or a stressful-life transition. Perhaps you're here because you feel you have been running on empty for some time. Perhaps you're here because life is offering you two different paths & you're not sure which way to go. Perhaps you're here because you want to be proactive with regards to your mental wellness and your relationships.
