Therapists Beginning With F in Ontario

Accepting New Clients in person and virtually. If your relationships are a struggle – I am the person for you. Any kind of relationship—the one with your partner, the one with your child, the one with your parent, coworker, or boss, and most importantly, the one with yourself! Instead of bringing you joy, your relationships leave you feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and empty. You struggle to figure out how to remove the hostility and despair you feel. Your thoughts and feelings turn to negativity, and your self-esteem doesn’t hold you up.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Candice, and I am deeply passionate about the transformative power of talk therapy. I firmly believe that within each individual lies the innate ability to become their best selves, and through therapy, we can nourish and awaken that potential. In my practice, I am dedicated to understanding the unique challenges that individuals face throughout their life stages. I provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I have over 10 years of experience and specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use concerns using trauma-informed treatment. I also have a strong interest supporting individuals who have experienced spiritual psychosis and other atypical experiences of consciousness. I view everyone as comprised of mind, body, and spirit. We all share common pains in life and these experiences (past and present) change us. Life traumas can cause us to identify with a false version of ourselves. Coming to know your self creates greater authenticity and freedom.

Are anxiety, depression, trauma, infertility challenges, or relationship difficulties weighing you down? Is it hard to find joy and security in your relationships, work, and thoughts? Are you tired of that constant, critical voice in your head? Does the fear of failure, rejection, or abandonment haunt you? Is your relationship or marriage plagued by fights and a lack of trust? Are you grappling with the emotional stress of infertility?

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Early in our lives, we learn the skills we need to navigate the world we find ourselves in. Those skills stay with us and help protect us on our journey through life. They continually have an impact on how we deal with ourselves and others every day.

Have you ever been told that you are too sensitive? Too shy? That you are overreacting? Have you ever wondered why you think too much and too deep? Why you are so affected by the moods of others? Why you feel frazzled when there is too much going on? Do you have difficulty saying no? Have you ever been diagnosed with or wonder if you have Social Anxiety Disorder? Generalized Anxiety Disorder? Low self esteem? Depression? Perfectionism?

You're probably here because your mental or emotional blocks may be preventing you from moving forward, getting ahead in life or just generally being happy. Perhaps you have experienced trauma in your childhood, and it’s showing up in your current relationships. Or certain "stuckness" is creating problems that are getting old already - you are ready clear this up! Behaviour, thoughts and feelings do serve a purpose, but sometimes it makes things worse, not better.

Relationships are at the core of feeling love and belonging. However, when our relationships are functioning poorly we can experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, or anger. In this space, we will explore how early life relationships shaped your attachment, communication, and conflict patterns to connect them to the impact they are having in your current life. From there, we can develop healthy new patterns. I also work with couples on their communication, boundaries, intimacy, meeting needs, and trust. Together you will learn to communicate safely and predictably and co-create your ideal intimate life.

Through my counselling work, I provide a supportive and encouraging environment where clients can express themselves and their goals in a non-judgemental way. No question is stupid, no emotion invalid, no goal unworthy. I envision therapy like a road trip – You're in the driver’s seat driving the car, and I’m in the passenger seat with the map helping you find your way. Let’s figure it out together.

Engaging in the field of mental health and holistic practices for over 15 years has taught me that we have the internal capacity to manage our own well-being with co-regulation. If you find yourself emotionally, mentally or physically overwhelmed or life feels painful and unmanageable, support is available. If you find yourself wanting more capacity for life, focusing on your inner world and reflecting on your perceptions, belief systems and relational patterns will begin to create a pathway through to your inner self guidance, which spills over into your outer world experience.

Life can be challenging with many moving parts and complexities that impact your wellbeing. Finding your way through difficult life transitions is possible.

I am not currently accepting any new clients at this time. Thankyou for your interest. Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions, addictions, or depression? Have you experienced some form of trauma and are struggling to cope? Together we will explore underlying reasons behind your struggles and equip you with strategies to better manage the challenges you are facing. Using a variety of proven psychotherapeutic approaches, I will support you mentally and emotionally as you move toward a preferred view of yourself with life choices that are more in line with your values.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.
