EMDR Therapists in Ontario

What's your "normal"? Has "just getting by" become a way of life? As we struggle with the stresses of past and present, living takes a back seat to surviving. We all have a survivor within us - a part that carries us through the bad times and holds us together when we feel like falling apart. It's a brilliant survival strategy. And an unhappy way to live. But what if it doesn’t have to be that way? What if there’s more to life than just surviving? What if there’s hope? From getting back to normal, to redefining the boundaries of normal - there is a better way. A way to stop surviving and start thriving.

I seek to empower my clients to feel connected and secure with themselves and their partner; communicate effectively; gain confidence to navigate parenthood; problem solve in a safe and non-judgemental way; increase understanding of the connection between different parts of the self; live in the present moment; improve self-esteem; reduce stress; improve coping skills; feel increasingly hopeful; recover; heal; and, ultimately, live joyful and meaningful lives. I'm Andrea Wiebe, I'm a social worker, EFT couples therapist and EMDR trauma therapist with additional specialized training in perinatal therapy. I can help. Let's connect.

Alicia supports various individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, emotional difficulties, trauma, grief and a variety of other difficulties. Some people seek counselling for one of the above or they seek counselling to talk in a safe and judgment free environment to work through day to day difficulties. I want to support people to flourish in the life they are determined to lead.

Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure who to talk to. If you're curious to uncover motivations behind behaviors and bring awareness to how past life experience informs who you are today, we can explore more together in a judgment-free, non-hierarchical, and empathetic environment.

The hardest step but the most impactful is reaching out for support. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for prioritizing your health and wellness. As a social worker with over ten years working within the field of mental health, it's hard to ignore the one commonality- Trauma. Whether this is uncovered yet or not, everyone has a story, and sometimes those unprocessed memories or emotions have a way of getting stuck which can shape the way we currently cope. My areas of expertise are mental health, self-worth, grief/loss, compassion fatigue and overall trauma.

I work to help and provide therapeutic support to clients of any age who are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, childhood trauma, and more. I work compassionately to help clients overcome the issues that are plaguing them. I use a client-centred approach and researched forms of therapy. I care about clients and recognize that each comes in times of great struggle and due to a need. Reach out and let me support you as you begin your Journey Towards Wellness.

I welcome adults (18+) who experience a wide range of mental health and substance use issues. Grounded in a client-centered, recovery-oriented, and trauma-informed approach, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to engage people in a journey of self-awareness and reflective action.

Currently No Waitlist for daytime appts!

WE help match you with someone on our team! Each therapist is qualified to treat a variety of presenting issues and populations. We know that finding the right therapist can feel challenging.

With extensive experience in educational settings, I have worked with individuals of various backgrounds and ages throughout many years. As a psychotherapist, I hold a firm belief in the inherent capacity for change and personal growth within each individual on their journey toward becoming their optimal self. My commitment is to establish a nurturing and supportive therapeutic space where clients can explore their emotions, behaviours, and relationships at their own pace. My ultimate objective is to empower clients to unlock their full potential by nurturing their inner resilience and strengths.

As an EMDR trained therapist, I compassionately treat you as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis; warmly acknowledging and affirming important aspects of your identity such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. I believe in having an honest, collaborative partnership where we work together to resolve your concerns, from processing trauma to regulating difficult emotions.

As a social worker/psychotherapist, I am known for my integrity, compassion, and warmth. I have 14 years of extensive clinical practice supporting individuals who have endured past and present traumatic and hurtful life experiences. I guide individuals out of painful emotions, thoughts, and somatic reactions by creatively combining therapies and techniques like EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, brainspotting, deep brain reorienting, and other interventions that heal distressing cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns.

The Therapy Centre is a full service psychology practice. We offer services to children, teens, adults, couples, and families. We offer psychological and neuropsychological assessment and treatment services for a wide variety of issues listed below. All of our clinicians are well trained in empirically validated treatment models, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and EMDR. Each of our clinicians has an area of expertise, such as: eating disorders, depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, chronic pain, postpartum mood issues, and obsessive compulsive disorder. We tailor our treatment approach to suit the needs of each individual client.

I analyze your short essay/childhood memories/dreams you bring in - to figure you out FAST: personality style, intra-psychic function, core issues, growth edge, strengths, challenges. First, extensive feedback, a 360 that also considers nutrition, lifestyle, cognitive style, etc, then EMDR, NLP to architect change. I specialize in some (not all) problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy (i.e. OCD). I use Jungian & Eastern wisdom, Ken Wilber, Ericksonian, Internal Family Systems to engineer change on an unconscious level. I tend to be selective to ensure best chance of success. (no substance abuse, BPD, etc)

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed as we all collectively learn how to navigate this new reality of fear and social isolation, brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic outbreak? Would you like to find ways to be more focused and more connected with yourself and in synergy with others? Explore your strengths, even in your broken places, and craft and start living a truly energizing and meaningful life? You may be surprised to uncover resources in places you forgot or never knew existed.

The journey to find a therapist that meets your specific needs is vital. Flourish offers the following: 1 - Connection with your therapist - The therapeutic relationship is a unique, two-way journey. I am a ‘real’ human being that takes pride in relating to others genuinely. 2 - Meeting space- Space is just as important as the person working in it and their clients. I designed Flourish to be a space where you feel secure enough to do the important work necessary for healing and change.

I help adults heal from trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, and bullying, allowing them to feel more connected to themselves, to others, and to the life they want to live. Low self-esteem, extreme emotions, intrusive thoughts, social anxiety, and negative body image don't have to get in the way of your relationships and life goals. With therapy, you can improve how you feel toward yourself, find inner calm, and learn how to feel safe and secure in the present.

Life is filled with many challenges. We all use coping mechanisms that appear to make sense for these challenges. Sometimes these coping mechanisms stop working or cause us other difficulties when they are used for longer periods of time. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which we can work together to develop skills and strategies that lead to change that can be maintained over the long-term. I am trained to offer Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and have facilitated many treatment groups using these techniques. Mindfulness groups currently on hold.

The stressors we experience can significantly impact us. You may feel anxious, have recurring thoughts, and struggle with moving forward. Let's identify what is holding you back from change. Coping with and managing change can be difficult to do alone. In therapy, we can aim to develop strategies to make things easier for you. I take a genuine and warm, client-centred approach when working with teenagers, students, & adults.

Welcome to a safe space where you are welcome to simply be where you are! To unfold yourself, relax and start to fill yourself back up so that you can live the life you desire. Are you struggling? I offer a safe space to feel heard, valued, and understood. My aim is to sit with you - to journey together as we untangle what is holding you back from living fully. As someone who has walked the path of anxiety, depression, and is a trauma survivor, I bring unique personal insight to my practice that allows for authenticity in our sessions - a genuine connection where vulnerability is met with understanding.

Have life’s challenges left you feeling disheartened? Or maybe you feel like you need to make a change, to get more out of life. You know you have more to offer to the world but don’t know where to start. Times of transition, from graduation to loss and everything in between can lead to feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, anxiety, uncertainty, and stress. With support, and newly developed skills you can navigate life’s challenges with a renewed sense of hope.

Are you a woman navigating change in any way and finding yourself stuck or lost ? This can happen in school, family, pregnancy, motherhood, relationships, work and illness ? As a Registered Psychotherapist, I aim to collaborate with you in navigating the unique challenges and circumstances that come with struggling.
