Find a Therapist in New Tecumseth, Ontario.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

The door of self understanding leads to a type of freedom that is personal , powerful and dynamic. Each individual's needs and inclinations are taken into account when determining the best therapeutic approach for each client. The therapeutic journey is different for each person as we are all unique. What we have in common is our need for love and self acceptance.

All therapy involves some degree of psychotherapy. We will treat mental health issues through verbal interactions and communications in the therapy process. We can identify cognitive distortions and work on restructuring them. Discussing issues and getting an objective viewpoint can be illuminating. By talking about your struggles I can help guide you into a better frame of mind and choose healthier actions.

Sustaining and maintain good behaviour, mental health, relationships and social skills can be accomplished with psychotherapy. An individual may experience many troubling thoughts and/or behaviours during their lifetime which may interfere with any relationship in their life and/or just cause disturbances of their well-being. Psychotherapy is provided in an environment where one is allowed to speak freely and voice their concerns in a neutral, confidential and nonjudgmental setting. Both parties collaborate to come up with a solution to the problems one may be experiencing with the aim of eliminating any and all difficulties causing concern.

The ebbs and flows of life are part of the human experience. Cultivating a meaningful life through them can sometimes be a challenge for all of us.

I have over eight years of experience working with children, youth and adults in an array of professional mental health settings.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

Psychotherapy is ideally a safe place for clients to begin unpacking their issues to begin looking forward towards their best hopes. While it can certainly be challenging and intimidating, my goal is to help clients embrace the discomfort in exploring these tough issues to ideally imagine a better future to ultimately pursue. While my practice can center around resolution of goals, I also believe some people just need a trained clinician to talk to in a less goal-oriented formal matter.

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through psychotherapy, clients can gain greater insight into their own personal challenges and develop effective coping mechanisms to address them. One of the key benefits of psychotherapy is that it can help clients to identify and address the underlying causes of their emotional and mental distress. By exploring their past experiences and current challenges, clients can gain a greater understanding of their own unique needs and develop strategies for managing their symptoms.

The process of ‘talk therapy’ allows individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive setting. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to process our lived experiences, change negative thought patterns or behaviors, and develop more helpful and healthy coping strategies. It is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and therapist. Therapy can get messy and painful at times however there are rewards when we do the work including, greater freedom, peace and joy.

Psychotherapy can mean many things to many people, from help with personal growth, an opportunity to unlearn a bad habit, a quest for insight or improved self-awareness, to a search for meaning in life or the aim of improving self-esteem. Whatever your goal for therapy, together we can discover the ways and means that make most sense to you while you control every step of our journey together. Call me whenever you are ready to embrace the positive changes that therapy has to offer you.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

Psychotherapy has been found to be an effective form of aiding in your health & well-being. My goal is to help you to optimize your overall health as mental/emotional/spiritual wellness plays a key role in your physical well-being. I believe that the difficulties and challenges that you are struggling with are a normal and understandable reaction to damaging circumstances that you have been through. With my guidance and support I encourage you to explore these areas in your life that have been influenced and tap into your unique and innocent talents and strengths to work to overcome the harmful effects of those circumstances. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your unique needs.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy with me can be many different things. Most importantly, is learning first about the client's history, current issues, and ideas about the future so that we can discover priorities to work on together. I am supportive and caring in my relationships with clients and I see my role as a facilitator who helps them to make the improvements they'd like to see in their daily lives. Sometimes, we will focus on a specific problem, such as a habit that needs changing. Other times, a client needs help to build confidence or communicate better in their close relationships. I like to say that "For every problem, we can find a solution, or at least improve how we feel about it!"
