I have training/experience in couples therapy, trauma, substance use, anger management, EFT and Gestalt Therapy.
Are you facing a life transition and need help managing stress, uncertainty, and conflicts? Life's journey is full of transitions, some smooth and others challenging. Change, even when it's planned and exciting, adds new stress which can bring up old wounds and unhealthy relationship patterns. As a psychotherapist with lots of life experience, I provide support through career changes, relocation, divorce, parenting milestones, illness, or personal growth challenges. I work with individuals and couples navigating frequent arguments or different communication styles. It's possible to emerge from this with confidence and resilience.

A general pattern I find with most people who choose to work with me is feeling stuck. Whether that's in career or life choices, a habit they you are trying to kick, or a feeling that you have more potential you want to actualize. Areas I am particularly drawn to working with include religious trauma, sexual trauma, addiction, and career and entrepreneurship. I find that people gravitate to my hypnosis modality (Hypnosis Assisted Healing) when they feel like they want something more than talk therapy, or that their situation requires a different approach. Trust your intuition!

With individuals I bring in both the body and the mind to help YOU create freedom from substance use and past trauma.
Many people say that a happy and satisfying partnership is one of their top life objectives, and I am here to support that goal through Premarital-style Counselling (not just for engaged couples). I also compassionately support individuals who are navigating through substance use and the impacts of trauma. I work with people in exploring and changing their substance use and in turn having a positive ripple effect on many other life areas. Finally, trauma can cause people to feel overwhelmed, stuck and helpless; I am committed to helping individuals move beyond trauma to a place of hope.

Hi, I’m Stephanie, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Gerontology from McMaster University, a post-grad in Brain Injury Disorders and I have completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My background in working with Traumatic Brain Injuries has given me the opportunity to work with individuals who have experienced loss, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, changes in personality, and social behaviours. Being in this field fueled my passion to help individuals achieve their mental health and well-being goals.

Evidence-based, accessible, and client-centred psychotherapy. Managing life's challenges can push us into a space of loneliness, anxiety, and limited possibility, especially when we don't have access to the mental health supports we need. Through the ACCESS program at The Compassion Project, I offer affordable psychotherapy to those seeking greater connection, fulfillment, and specialized mental health care. From difficult emotions, coping with life stressors, to managing substance use, we'll begin a dialogue that fosters a meaningful path to mental and physical wellness.

Since 2009 I have had extensive training working in the mental health system with adults and families who have experienced trauma, anxiety/depression, addiction/ substance issues, family/relationship issues, and other stressors in life.
Have you ever felt stuck? Do you ever think therapy is just not for me or think to yourself, is it worth it? Well, believe me, it is. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. My belief is that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgement.

I have experience working with folks in the queer community, as well as individuals who have lived experience with trauma and/or addiction.
Healing looks different for everyone, and that is why we begin with a full understanding of your experiences and the context in which they occur. I work collaboratively with you to explore those meanings and help you gain agency over these narratives to live a life with more space for compassion and curiosity in mind, body, and experience. Whatever you are working through, I respect you as the expert. My role is not to analyze, pathologize, or label you, it is to understand you as your whole self, including your experiences, identities, values, and how you have been impacted by the current systems that are set in place.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a focus on supporting individuals living with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and substance use concerns. After becoming a mother myself, my passion shifted towards perinatal (mental health from pregnancy to postpartum) concerns. I am currently registered as a Perinatal Mental Health therapist with Postpartum Support International.

Currently, I work with children and teens who find it hard to self-regulate and manage big feelings (anger, anxiety, BPD, ADHD), with LGBTQ+ teens and adults experiencing transitions related to gender or sexual orientation, and with adults with mood disorders (anxiety, depression) who want to make changes with their drinking or substance use.
Are you or your child having a difficult time managing overwhelming feelings? Are there parts of yourself that prevent you from feeling open and safe with others? Imagine if you didn’t have to grapple with these challenges alone. In my practice, I help clients work towards becoming their authentic selves, and provide skill-based support to get the most out of life. Holding a Bachelors and Masters degree in social work, I use a combination of play-based therapy, CBT, and DBT to support clients. I’ve been working with children, youth, and families for the past 10 years, in English and French.
