Find a Therapist in Beamsville, Ontario.

Many people feel nervous about going to a psychotherapist. Not knowing what to expect or worrying you'll be told what to do by some know-it-all therapist is enough to keep many people from even making the first phone call. My approach puts you in charge of our sessions. With concrete goals in mind, I ask for specific feedback from you about how you think our sessions are going and the improvements you're seeing, to guide where we go next. We're partners in our work. Whether you want to make changes in a particular aspect of your life or just get more out of life in general, we'll plot a course to get you there, then make it happen together.

Are you tired of feeling bad about yourself, comparing yourself to others and feeling 'less than' or not having the motivation to take good care of yourself? Do you find that your mind constantly drifts to things that have happened in the past or worries about what might happen in the future? Do you find that you've withdrawn from the activities you used to enjoy and are spending most of your time by yourself? I provide Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which is a blend of mindfulness training and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I provide compassionate care whereby I will help you deal with your issues with more skills and less fear/confusion. I would be honoured to work with you.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.

Psychotherapy is one way of working through depression, anxiety, personality disorders,eating disorders, addictions, marriage and family issues (to name some). The process can vary depending on an indivduals needs and struggles. I work from the cognitive behaiour and the dialectical behavioral models to help individuals learn and grow as people, and aquire tools to help cope with their struggles.

Psychotherapy helps clients explore the past roots of the issues they are struggling with in order to make lasting changes. Unresolved issues from our childhood and the past can deeply impact our current lives. Past emotional injuries can be impacting our present in ways we are not always aware of. We provide a safe and supportive place to process past experiences in order to see lasting change.

My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

Our approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the principles of EMPATHY & EVIDENCE. We not only know from experience what you're going through, we understand the science behind the mental health victories which will ultimately elevate your life. This blend of lived experience and evidence-based techniques truly defines our approach to psychotherapy at Whiteboard. In terms of therapeutic approaches, we employ elements of the following approaches: Narrative Therapy; Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Motivational Interviewing; and many other evidence-based approaches.

Psychotherapy can be life-changing; you may need a few sessions or more in-depth work, but we will collaborate to meet your needs. There are many types of psychotherapy, all of which involve talking to someone you can confide in and trust to have your best interests at heart. I offer a person-centred approach to meet your unique needs and work with you on your best strategy for meeting life’s challenges.

I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to open up on all issues, even deeply buried ones (from early childhood to present), so I can get a sense of the whole picture, ask the right questions, and come up with an effective treatment plan. I’ve successfully worked with many individuals & couples who others had given up on, since they weren’t able to go deep enough. This has allowed me to especially help people who are struggling with emotional or sexual trauma, incest, abuse, porn or sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues & taboos & fears which trap them in shame. I’ve also helped couples heal from deep wounds such as infidelity and build stronger relationships.

Sometimes we don't feel connected. Not only to our partners and family but to life in general. We feel like we are searching for some elusive ideal which we can neither explain or label, leaving us feeling like we are wandering in circles. Using a Jungian and Adlerian approach and dream analysis, I have found that people have been able to break free from the role of the nomad. This approach can require a much longer commitment from clients who are seeking a deeper epiphany about themselves and their lives.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate." No, you won't have to lie down on the couch (although you can if you'd like to). What you will have to do is be prepared to explore yourself, get to the root of your issues, and do the work necessary to achieve real change in your life. I'll help you make sense of your inner world and discover things about yourself you're completely unaware of. Together, we'll dive deep down the rabbit hole and figure out how your subconscious is affecting your life. Get the tools you need to remodel your mind.

Our minds are a complex mix of past experiences and present perceptions. It can be confusing to sort out what is real and relevant to your current situation. Through our therapy we engage in a mutual journey of discovery to find out what makes you tick. Self understanding gives you choices. No longer will you operate on automatic pilot. Couple and Family Therapy operate in a similar way, except the work is to help family members listen and understand each other, to support and encourage each other. Families fall into hurtful habits of discord. That can be changed with effort and help.

There are several approaches to psychotherapy — including cognitive-behavioural, interpersonal and other kinds of talk therapy — that help individuals work through their problems. At Meristem, we utilize an eclectic approach to psychotherapy that incorporates a variety of therapeutic principles and theories in order to create the ideal treatment program to meet the specific needs of our clients. We encourage a collaborative approach that enhances the client/therapist relationship. We strive to model positive behaviours and an empathic atmosphere that builds trust and safety within the counselling relationship.

Psychotherapy is counselling process that delves into deeper and often hidden (subconscious) issues that influence our perceptions and beliefs. In turn this influences our behaviours. Often our patterns originate in our family of origin where we internalize beliefs about self and others. The collaborative process will help you understand your current reality and how to deal with it effectively. Negative beliefs translate into maladapted behaviours that cause distress and anxiety. I will guide you through this process to gain new insights and understanding and learn more effective coping with your current distress.

Psychotherapy is an exploratory process that takes place in the context of trust and respect. Its is my intention to create a safe space, to explain the process carefully and mindfully so that each client can contribute to creation of their therapeutic plan. My work is done through remaining non-judgmental , showing compassion and viewing each client as the expert on their own life. My therapeutic style is curious, relaxed and flexible. My clients generally benefit by feeling welcomed and put at ease early in our relationship.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves.

Psychotherapy addresses some of the same challenges as counselling does, but aims its focus more deeply on the psychological roots of problems and unhealthy behavior patterns. Some of our belief- and behavior patterns develop in childhood, others evolve through subsequent life experiences. In our sessions, I will gently help you understand your emotions, thoughts and action and where they might originate. We will explore possible sources of your stress, and I will guide and support you to become aware, that you can heal your past and explore ways to effectively cope in the present. 905-842-3626
