A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

Are you ready to start: Feeling different in your life? Understanding where you are at and how you got there? Being different in your relationship both to yourself and with others? Then you are ready to start psychotherapy. You might come in the grip of a particular crisis or with a mounting sense that something has to change. Together we will explore what life is like for you: how you are with yourself and with others, how you are right now and what you know of how you came to be in this place. We will look at all of the parts that make up you and we’ll do it at your pace, with care, safety and empathy. You’ll notice yourself changing and others will too.

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.

I have a down-to-earth approach and a sense of humour. Your individual personality, your problems, and your comfort level will determine how we work together. With over 20 years of experience and on-going training, I have lots of therapeutic techniques to offer you. Sometimes I will make suggestions, provide feedback, or give you information that I think might be valuable to your healing. But, ultimately it is your healing path we will travel. I will support you to feel more at home in your body and at peace in your mind.

I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible. I work primarily with the Gestalt approach, which focuses on self-awareness, contact and the here and now in the therapeutic process. I also incorporate EFT for couples work and Motivational Interviewing in addictions work. My style is attentive and responsive. You will get direct feedback from me in each meeting. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Psychodrama, Drawing and Mindfulness based interventions.

Psychotherapy is a process of facilitated self-discovery and healing. It is facilitated by a trained professional in a safe and confidential environment. Much emphasis in psychotherapy is put on creating a trusting relationship with your therapist so that you can feel safe "opening up". With this deep level of support, you'll be able to face the sometimes difficult parts of your emotions and experiences in order to emerge stronger, with a deeper sense of connection and purpose. In my practice, this is achieved through "talk therapy", art making or some combination of the two.

Many of my psychotherapy clients indicate their psychotherapy experience to be very positive. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere where you will feel free to share your thoughts and feelings and life experiences. Together, we first explore the early roots of your situation to see where any early influences are continuing to affect you in your present day living and relationships. We also see where the real self may have been blocked or held down from self expression. The work assists in the recovery of the Real Self, which many indicate feels like clarity and liberation. In addition, the current issues that require treatment be they relationships, work, family, are also dealt with.

The process of therapy helps people step back, and look at things through the lens of an objective observer. In this way, individuals start to see strengths within themselves. As they see these strengths, with a therapist's help, people begin to make gradual changes in their lives. Adults, adolescents, & children see me in my practice in downtown Toronto for individual, couples, and family counseling. Their problems include anxiety, stress, depression, parent-child conflict, marital distress, trauma, and grief & bereavement.

Psychotherapy is all about creating a safe, secure, and non judgmental space where you can open up, share your emotions, build coping skills, and resilience. Psychotherapy focuses on a wild range of mental issues from anxiety to depression, to social anxiety, anger management, isolation, relationship issues and grief. Clients will benefit from hourly sessions designed to explore the issues you have decided to bring and work through a collaboratively designed treatment plan to help you move forward in life.

Understanding why we do what we do can bring greater clarity. But understanding is only part of the answer. I will help you uncover the patterns in your behaviour and discover their roots -- and I will help you to form new and healthier ways of being. The past has shaped us, but it doesn't have to imprision us. Let me help you to create a better tomorrow.

I have a relational, and empathetic approach to psychotherapy. My work is also informed by a number of theories and modalities of therapy. Attachment theory, family systems theory, and human development theory are lenses which enable me to see and understand patterns and processes in one's life which are creating unfulfilling outcomes. I work with clients in a relational and integrative way bringing understanding and emotional healing to situations. This frequently creates a paradigm shift which becomes transformative in the life of the client.

Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health problems through a collaborative relationship between an individual and their psychologist. Through psychotherapy, an individual learns about their thoughts, behaviors, feelings, moods and overall condition by talking to a psychologist about them. At Valiant Recovery, our psychotherapy methods are aimed at discovering the underlying issues that spawn addiction and substance abuse, such as grief, trauma and mental illness. All of our therapists have masters degrees in social work or counseling, as well as extensive experience treating addiction and substance abuse disorders.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

H o l i s t i c P s y c h o t h e r a p y The foundation of the work that I do in the office is a holistic style of psychotherapy in which there is an integration of emotional processing with body trauma unwinding. In addition to working with traditional talk therapy we bring in the body work to assists the client in maintaining groundedness. Techniques used include: Coaching, Somatic focusing, Mantras, Visualizing, Polarity Therapy, Cranio-Sacral, Reiki, movement, stretching, breathe work, Affirmations, New Decision Therapy, life coaching and visualization.

I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

I work with clients using a two-pronged approach - both practical and in-depth. Practical strategies are important in dealing with the management of feelings, anxieties and relationship issues but an in-depth understanding of unmet needs and how to address them is essential for long-term healing. I form-fit the approach, as best I can, to meet a client's goals for therapy.

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.

My education and work experience serves as the foundation to my counselling philosophy; Individuals can reach their goals and defy their own limits. Using a strength based approach, I believe everyone understands how to be successful. I support individuals to work through challenges that stop them from doing what they already know. I am passionate in helping individuals overcome barriers. It is a privilege to have individuals share their goals with me, in confidence.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

We provide services to help you manage and navigate your everyday challenges, as well as offer treatment for more challenging situations and life transitions. At LifeCycle Counselling we recognize how difficult it is to take the first step towards therapy, speak about your difficulties and explore uncomfortable emotions.

We strive to provide services grounded in evidence-based approaches.

My approach is holistic, and consists of an eclectic combination of modalities - but is most importantly based on a Humanistic model, which has its foundation in respect for the individual and the belief that all human beings have the right to reach their full potential. By talking through various life situations, emotional responses, beliefs and behaviours, I assist my clients in identifying patterns that have been holding them back, and cultivating tools to address these patterns and heal the wounds that are at the root of them. Building upon inherent strengths and wisdom are also key components of my practice - a combination which provides the support to move forward with confidence.
