DEPRESSION

Depression, whether mild or debilitating, is a difficult experience for anyone to go through.  Depression can come in many forms, like emptiness, despair, meaninglessness, and withdrawal from life. You may be feeling lost and directionless, or are struggling to find any hope or joy in your existence.  Starting therapy for depression can help you take your first steps out of the woods. 

ANXIETY

Anxiety often arises when we feel that our way of life or safety is threatened. The threat may be a potential loss, being disliked by others. or the uncertainties of the future.   Therapy for anxiety helps you to understand clearly what they are about, what's within your scope of influence and how you can better relate to the uncertainties of life.

RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES

Relating to others is a big part of our existence and we can often learn more about ourselves through our relationships. If you find certain relationships perplexing, therapy can shed light on the patterns and dynamics that you find yourself in, and help you to make sense of the conflicts that wear you down. You may also find new ways of relating to others that bring you more fulfillment and connection. Therapy for relational difficulties isn't confined to couples therapy, nor is it only for people in intimate romantic relationships.  As an individual, therapy can shed light on what is going on in your friendships, family, and work relationships.  

LIFE TRANSITIONS 

Changes and transitions are inevitable. Some come with ease and flow, others may feel more complex.  It may be our careers, locations, or our identities and roles we play in life.  While some transitions feel like our choice, others are less so and call upon us to adapt and come to terms with our new realities. You may also be in a place where you would like to make a transition, and are weighing your options and possibilities.   Whatever your exact situation may be, therapy for life transitions can help you to get clarity for the path ahead.   

DILEMMAS

Do I do this or that? This is a common question that arises from time to time as we meet crossroads.  Difficult choices call upon us to take into account complex factors and examine our possibilities and what they mean to us.  Therapy can be a good place to understand our dilemmas and to re-calibrate our compasses for the way ahead.  

SELF- DEVELOPMENT

Psychotherapy sn't just for difficult moments.  It's also a process of gaining self-knowledge as we continue to broaden and deepen our engagement with our lives.  Understanding and challenging your own beliefs, biases, and habituated patterns can lead to growth and greater fulfilment.

The fee is CAD 180 for a 50 minute session.  There is no HST charge as Psychotherapy is HST- exempt. At present. only psychotherapy performed by psychiatrists and family physicians are covered by OHIP. 

How many sessions do you recommend?

What are your cancellation policies?

I offer both short ( 6-12 sessions) and long-term ongoing work. ​

 

We will discuss this at the beginning and periodically throughout our work together to determine a frequency that works for you. Short-term focused work can be effective if we set our objectives and expectations clearly.  Longer-term work allows for broader and deeper exploration and for us to work together with new changes and issues that you encounter. 

​

No-shows and late cancellations of less than 24 hours notice will incur a charge of the full session fee.  Exceptions apply (.e.g medical emergencies)
