Find a Therapist in Lanark County, Ontario.

Psychotherapy is the the term used to describe therapy that is based upon psychological principles and research and delivered, primarily, through verbal interaction. Simply put, psychotherapy is 'talk therapy". It is the interaction between you and a highly trained, caring, compassionate therapist who is willing to walk with you through whatever challenges you might be facing. Psychotherapy can happen either in an individual basis, with couples, with families or in larger groups.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and authenticity. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach to help you navigate life's challenges, discover your strengths, develop strategies, and work towards your personal growth and well-being. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation today. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey to access your potential to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Sometimes we might feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to manage distressing feelings and emotions. Psychotherapy can provide a safe space to learn more about yourself and some of the difficulties you are facing and find ways to better manage and cope with these challenges. In your work with me, I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel validated and supported to work through and heal from life's difficulties and create lasting and meaningful change. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

Licensed through the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, I offer psychotherapy to youth 14+ and adults. My approach is always centered on working with clients in a way that is empowering and based on leveraging the inner wisdom in each person. I have many strategies and options to offer, but clients are the experts in what will and won't work for them. When individuals complete therapy, my goal is for them to say "I worked hard and achieved the results I wanted to achieve - I can do this!" rather than "Tory helped me how to feel better".

I believe clients are the experts of their lives and experience. My aim is to help you explore and process the ways you feel stuck in your life and far away from your goals. I believe clients do their best work when therapy is a safe and thoughtful space where I invite you to imagine differences in your relationships, with yourself and others. My work is informed by Narrative, Dialogic, Solution-Focused, and Emotionally Focused modalities. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.
