Find a Therapist in Pickering, Ontario.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focused, experiential, and humanistic approaches.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 16 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

People come to counselling not because they don't have answers to their problems, people usually know what they should do, but they can't seem to do them. My role as your pschotherapist is less about telling you what to do (which is actually the easier part), I am here to help you clear away some of the junks that stop you from seeing and "doing" the answers. After that, I will help you reach your goal step by step.

Meeting with a psychotherapist has one primary aim: to share ways of improving and sustaining one's mental health and wellbeing. It may include revisiting past experiences that were impactful; practicing skills and techniques in the present; or talking about ideas and strategies to use in the future. Sometimes, psychotherapy involves having an in-the-moment experience that brings about a profound change of perspective or a new emotional truth. Whichever direction your own psychotherapy takes, we know that the single biggest contributor to a positive counselling experience is your relationship with your therapist. I can help you find the best path forward for you. Reach out today to begin.

In many cultures, seeking a mentor or counsellor at various times in your life, would be expected and respected. Yet in our culture, we still might feel discomfort about "needing" support from someone outside our family & friends. The people I see are courageous. They choose to use the resources available to improve their quality of life. It's a commitment to yourself and your loved ones that takes time, money and determination. Self-help books can be wonderfully helpful, but something unique and special happens when you meet the right person to bring the principles of unconditional positive regard as well as healing skills to meet you wherever you are.

A psychotherapist is a regulated professional (in ON) who can help people understand and change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through psychotherapy, people can gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of their emotional distress and develop coping strategies to manage and navigate their challenges effectively. Research has shown the effectiveness of individual psychotherapy in alleviating symptoms of various mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety. However, there are many factors to successful therapy – the therapeutic relationship being the most important.
