Therapists Beginning With L in Ontario

Do you want more ease in your life? Are you struggling with emotions that feel overwhelming and hard to manage? Are conflicts or breakdowns in communication straining your relationships? Are you looking to improve the quality of communication and deepen your connection with your partner in a more loving manner? Have you been impacted by a traumatic event that continues to affect your daily life?

As your therapist, my greatest priority is to create an accepting and compassionate space where you can feel safe to be yourself, exactly as you are. My wish is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, and hopeful that change is possible. Together, we can gently unpack your burdens, and explore what is keeping you from living a more comfortable and fulfilling life. Should you be seeking deeper healing, we can integrate holistic, evidence-based trauma treatments (such as EMDR) into our work together in a manner that honours your pace/timing. Through collaboration, we can also find creative ways to build upon your strengths!

Hello, and welcome to the first step of putting you and your needs first. I am currently a Masters level practicum student in my Counselling Psychology program. I am being supervised by Michèle Mani (M.Ed, RP, CCC). I recognize reaching out for mental health support isn’t always easy. As a therapist, I look to create a safe, respectful, and culturally-sensitive environment for you to find your strengths, increase self-acceptance, and explore self-made narratives.

My current practice is focused on helping men address addiction issues including substance use disorder and sexual addictions, as well as major life transitions including divorce and major career changes. I focus on evidence-based approaches to healing and offer a non-judgmental and empathetic connection with my clients. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic relationship is strong and client-centred. I adapt my approach based upon the individual needs and goals of each client and use a number of different modalities including cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindful self-compassion, and trauma-focused therapy.

Does it seem challenging to fit in at times? Is it tough managing family, friendships, and relationships? Or do you or someone you know struggle with anxiety or depression? Navigating challenging aspects of life on your own is not easy. I provide compassionate and strengths-based support for children, teens, and adults. No matter how big or small the concern, I understand that clients want to feel heard and understood. The clients I support experience feelings of overwhelm and helplessness, while trying to cope with pressures and expectations life throws their way.

Our world is changing and so are the emotional, social and personal skills needed to cope with these events. I have worked extensively with adult mental health and specialize in working with children and families with psychological and mental health needs. I offer effective and creative parenting support especially for parents experiencing conflict with adolescents. I take a collaborative and strength based approach recognizing that people are the experts in their own life. My hope is to help you to develop the skills to manage ongoing daily challenges that life brings.

Experiencing loss in life is 100% going to happen. Loss may be death, loss of a relationship, a pet, an opportunity. It can be expected or sudden/traumatic. Your $h!t is upside down. Navigating or preparing for loss is isolating & may make you feel and do all sorts of confusing things.

Parents- it can be confusing to know how to help your teen/child navigate difficult times in their lives. The challenge can be magnified if you are parenting alone or if your parenting partner has different ideas from you, about parenting.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental and knowledgeable space where I facilitate the integration of the struggle, offer techniques to ease distress, and as a result, next steps become more clear for you.

Does it feel like you are stuck in the past and unable to truly enjoy what’s happening in your life now? Unresolved trauma can lead to problematic and distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and impact your work and relationships. My primary area of experience is supporting first responders, frontline workers, helping professionals and adult survivors of relational and childhood abuse. My experience also includes supporting clients to address challenges due to a variety of other mental health and wellness concerns including depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, self-esteem, grief, addiction, stress and relationship dynamics.

Are you feeling stressed, depressed, overwhelmed or anxious? Do you have feelings of low self-worth and self-esteem? Do you have an internal "critic" and tend to be hard on yourself? It’s brave to reach out for support when life throws challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. I will help you to manage stress and learn coping skills, change negative thought and behaviour patterns and improve your self esteem & confidence.

I work in a warm, gentle and collaborative relationship with you to foster your healing processes and growth. I have been a Psychotherapist for 10 years, working with issues stemming from trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loss, or role transitions. Many clients use psychotherapy as a safe container to understand themselves better and consider our work an integral part of their self-care practice. Many of my clients' goals are to learn to have more compassionate, aware and accepting relationships with themselves and to deepen their ability to connect with others in meaningful and more satisfying ways.

I have been working in clinical and community settings in mental health and addictions since 2011. I am honoured to support individual adults who are experiencing grief due to death or other loss, self-esteem and relationship issues, substance use, depression, anxiety, and traumatic injury. We all have within us a resilience to confront and handle even the most challenging of issues and I have such admiration of an individual's courage to explore and seek guidance in enhancing the quality of their life. A confidential, compassionate, and personalized approach to care is my priority.
