Therapists Beginning With A in Ontario
Life is challenging and it is easy to begin to feel overwhelmed by situations, relationships, life events and world events that just seem (or sometimes truly are) out of our control. Finding hope again is possible! As a psychotherapist, my goal is to walk with you for a period of time to help you to navigate through some of those difficult situations, life changes and events. Sometimes it is just important to know that you are not alone in facing the challenges of life.

Help can FEEL-LIKE A "DATE" - We get it - You don't only need to know 'relationship skills' you need your partner to know & use them too! ...when they are triggered & angry. (Dang, that's a tall order). We can help, even if you come alone. You or your partner have probably been afraid that asking for help could make things feel worse, or feel "real". The truth is, UNLESS you both learn to support each other in conflict, things do get worse, but you don't need to suffer for 6 YEARS like the average couple does. Choose to get unstuck today, just message Kat(at)Loved-Well.com curious about first steps. We really want to help.

Accepting New Clients! I specialize in helping helpers—particularly those in the medical and caregiving professions. You’re exceptional at caring for others, but it’s all too easy to overlook your own well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your role, struggling with anxiety, or finding it difficult to manage your mental health, know that you’re not alone. Navigating trauma can be complex and isolating, often bringing a whirlwind of emotions that feel unmanageable. It can be especially challenging for caregivers, who may struggle to process their own trauma while still supporting those around them.

It can feel disheartening, overwhelming, and confusing to recognize that you are not living the life that you envisioned for yourself. Although we are all the experts of our own lived experiences, we can use a supportive space to prioritize our wellbeing and take the steps to move towards a values-based life. I am a person-centered, anti-oppressive therapist who provides individual counselling to adults looking for support with mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, stress and race-related stress, and friendship or romantic relationship difficulties.

Grief leaves us feeling lost, isolated, and overwhelmed. It can be hard to see a way forward when the weight of loss feels so heavy and unbearable. You may feel waves of anger, guilt, and loneliness, making you question your own strength. If you are grappling with the end of a relationship, a life altering diagnosis, or the loss of a loved one, know that you don’t need to go through this alone. I support clients like you (and me!) navigate grief and loss. Together, let’s learn to understand your experiences, so you can find meaning and resilience in the face of loss.

As a licensed psychologist and certified Jungian psychoanalyst, I have had extensive experience with different problematics. Reasons for consulting may be various, but it always leads us to confront an unacknowledged part of ourselves, in a word, our own unconscious shadow.

I don't think mental health is something you achieve, but rather something you work your whole life trying to improve and maintain. There are so many reasons why you can't seem to be the best version of yourself - lack of motivation, negative past experiences, fears, and insecurities. And sometimes you just need a space separate from your world to help clarify and better understand yourself and what's standing in your way. My goal is to create an open, trusting, and vulnerable space where you can be your most authentic self - I believe that is the state where insight and change takes place.

I provide individual treatment for a broad range of concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and interpersonal challenges such as life transitions and bereavement. In terms of couple treatment, presenting concerns include conflict resolution, dealing with differences, emotional connection and trust injuries. I draw primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches.

Some seasons of your life can drain you of your resources, protections, and even your identity. It can feel like everything that made you “you” has been stripped away. Therapy can be a space to grieve what once was, and a space to rebuild a life that brings you peace, connection, and joy. I work with individuals facing all manner of life transitions, including students, newcomers, and new parents.
