Multicultural Therapists in Ontario

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Feeling like life's a rollercoaster you can't get off? Anxiety, ADHD, people-pleasing—everything's hitting you at once. Relationships are rocky, figuring out who you are feels like a puzzle, and work's just exhausting. But deep down, you know you're capable of more and want more than just chaos. You crave clarity, peace, and the skills to handle life's ups and downs with confidence. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. Together, we'll delve into the root causes, embrace the messiness of being human, and navigate this journey side by side. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

My practice is client centered, meaning collaboration is an integral part of my work. Your identities, life experiences, values, and goals are all welcomed in the room when working with me. In our work together, I will be direct, gentle, exploratory and results oriented. I am best suited to supporting folks with relationship challenges, mood disorders (anxiety, depression, etc.), shame, low self-worth, issues related to race, gender, sexuality, and identity, life transitions, and chronic stress.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. My practice services individuals, children, youth, families, and groups. We provide psychotherapy to support emotional distress, but not limited to anxiety, lack of motivation, sadness or depression, grief, feeling overwhelmed, feeling stuck in your life and relationship issues. Taking the first step can be difficult, we understand. If you are struggling with mental health issues, the team at Support & Growth Counselling Services can help. We offer a variety of counselling and psychotherapy services to ensure that you and your loved ones can build happy and healthy lives.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

Sometimes the scariest thing to do is talk to someone, especially if we feel like we will be misunderstood, laughed at, or judged. As a therapist my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for you to have someone to talk to. I focus on helping clients enhance their holistic health, manage relationships and cope with the stressors that may come from life changing events or navigating multiple worlds. Much of my experience has been working with teenagers, college students, graduate students, and middle-aged adults.

As we travel on this life journey, we may face many challenges that require adapting and adjusting to life's changes. Therapy can help us understand these obstacles and learn new ways of overcoming them to create the life that we desire. My goal is to establish a collaborative, mutual therapeutic relationship of care, support and provide a nonjudgement space for my clients to recognize, share life experiences, and foster valuable coping skills. Together, we could identify the patterns limiting your life and develop tools to gain greater sense of clarity, and feelings of empowerment for positive change & reach self-awareness.

As a psychotherapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome their mental health struggles. With a particular focus on young people and marginalized communities, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for those seeking help. I understand the unique challenges that black and people of color face, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive therapy that addresses the specific needs of each individual. My personal experiences growing up in a diverse community have given me a deep understanding of the importance of providing quality mental health care to everyone.

The experiences and challenges we go through in life do not define us but, instead, shape us into the individuals we are today. These experiences help us flourish and grow in ways we could not imagine ourselves. This is a philosophy that I hold in great regard when it comes to my practice and work with clients. I recognize that therapy can be intimidating to some. However, I am passionate about creating a space where we can come together and work through whatever you’re going through, no matter what it may look like.

Therapy can be a daunting thing to consider, especially when dealing with grief. Grief can be overwhelming and evoke feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and confusion. Grief changes us in an instant, sneaking in and building a home in facets of our lives that we least expect. Grief is not solely about death; it encompasses any loss we experience. If you feel you're not "grieving properly," find the grief journey too overwhelming, or believe that having someone accompany you on this path would be beneficial, working with me may be one way to address the internal chaos felt after a loss.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? If yes, I understand you and I want to provide the support you need. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives; job loss, end of a relationship, sickness in the family, feeling purposeless... While life can be challenging, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And I want to walk alongside you towards finding the light in your life to rediscover joy and fulfillment. My approach creates a calm and safe space for you to openly express your thoughts and emotions.

Welcome. Sometimes life feels really difficult. Maybe you're coping with separation, loss of a loved one, feelings of anxiety or depression, or the day to day challenges of work, home, and school. Perhaps you're trying to change some patterns of behaviour that make you feel stuck. As a registered psychotherapist working with adults and teens, I can help.

As a relationship therapist, I focus on parent child relationships, couple relationships and relationships at the work place.

I primarily work with individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, life transitions, motherhood, relationship issues, and childhood trauma. I also support those just struggling with life. As a working mother, I get how hard it is to always be stressed, to feel frustrated, and overwhelmed. It’s hard prioritizing mental health when you are already burdened with so many responsibilities whether finances, home, kids, school, or work. I provide the support and resources clients need to regulate their emotions, adapt better coping mechanisms, reduce their toxic stress, and stop feeling guilty for prioritizing themselves!

Are you experiencing anxiety or panic? Do you feel depressed and overwhelmed with sadness? Are you having relationship issues, or has an important relationship just ended? I can help with that. I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore. It can feel like a struggle to get out of bed, to interact with others, or to go to school or work. It can be hard to take that first step. In your complimentary phone session, you will be heard, and greeted with gentle compassion, non-judgement, comfort and empathy.

Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and pushed beyond our limits. From daily stresses and struggles to unexpected problems, we may not be aware of how these challenges impact us. In these moments, you may be in search of support, relief, change, growth or something different. Connecting with the right therapist to explore your needs is essential, and the relationship you develop is the most crucial aspect of therapy. I strive to offer you a safe, supportive, positive space to work through your challenges, understand your concerns and help you overcome the obstacles that come your way.

I am dedicated to providing therapy to you that is strength based, client centred and solution focused. My practice is guided with empathy and compassion, understanding that everyone has their own path in which they must travel on in order to reach their desired life goals.

Hello! I'm Alicia, I'm glad you found me. I know that it can be difficult to start the therapeutic journey whether you are new to the therapy world or whether you are looking for another therapist. I'm always grateful to be able to hold space with sensitivity and respect for clients and work at your own pace.
