Therapists in Hamilton, ON

I have a significant amount of experience in working with those who present with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, sex and relationship concerns, trauma, and oppression. My clients may struggle with internalized self-blame for the issues they're facing. I hope to help them reject harmful societal messages that lead them to believe that the problems they're having are entirely due to their personal shortcomings. I hope to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for them to process their experiences of trauma and oppression. I hope to help them develop self-care routines, strategies and boundaries to avoid burnout.

I started counselling with two goals in mind: To help others improve their quality of life and help them become the best version of themself they can be. Having lived experience, I know firsthand what people are going through. I want to be one less professional someone goes to for help and leaves feeling stigmatized, unheard, or worse. I work with a trauma-informed approach and see my clients as individuals who are trying to cope with problems in their life and feel like they can’t without the use of alcohol or drugs.

I specialize in issues related to anxiety, mood, ADHD and behaviours and can offer strategies related to parenting, relationships and improving mental well being.

Maybe you've tried this before. You've been to therapy and you've talked about your issues but you don't really feel like you've healed your issues. Or maybe you've gotten to the point in therapy where you feel stuck. I get it. The anxiety and self doubt. Drinking/eating/scrolling too much. Constantly running to attain what we think we're supposed to chase after. Wondering why some of our reactions and behaviours happen. Hating some aspects of ourselves and really not showing up in a way that we know we can. And seeking answers to all of this and just not finding it in therapy.

Are you feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Are you struggling with anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, or unhealed trauma?

My name is Krystyna (Krys), and I am here to support you on your journey toward ultimate wellness and to help you attain mental and emotional healing. I approach counselling with a non-judgemental attitude, unconditional positive regard, respect, empathy, and understanding.

As an individual and family counsellor/therapist, I work alongside youth and adult clients to explore mental health challenges, life transitions, neurodivergence, couple and family relationships, and alleviating the impact of oppressive social structures on mental wellbeing. I have a particular interest in supporting folks who are seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of their environment and their intersecting identities and experiences on their wellbeing and sense of self. I offer therapy in English and Arabic for individuals and families in British Columbia and Ontario.

I am a clinical and rehabilitation psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I work in a private practice, Life Psychology Clinic, providing psychological treatment for children, adolescents, and adults, and psychological assessment services for adults. I provide therapy for a wide variety of psychological difficulties, which include mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, adjustment to loss and change, developmental disorders, anger and stress management, self-esteem difficulties, behavior problems, interpersonal and relational issues, school and learning issues, parenting, and many other.

We often look for external solutions when we are trying to resolve or fix a problem. We may be struggling with issues at work or school, or perhaps we’re feeling stuck in a life that no longer brings us joy. The loss of a loved one or a marriage or relationship breakdown leaves us feeling depleted and abandoned. Overwhelmed anxious feelings can easily take over when faced with any of these situations.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer E.M.D.R. therapy, a trauma-informed therapy, to treat past disturbing memories. Do you experience symptoms in the spectrum of anxiety disorders (social anxiety, panic attack), or depressive disorders (depression, bipolar)? Or stress disorders (PTSD, trauma)? Some memories are still a disturbance in your present. When the natural reprocessing gets stuck, you don't have peace. I also offer therapy that focuses on the present with approaches, such as CBT or ACT.

My views on the therapeutic relationship is a partnership with my clients to achieve their individual goals. I primarily work with children (ages 5+), youth and adults with varying mental health conditions, including; Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, Trauma, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and other complex mental health issues. My goal is to ensure my clients feel safe and supported throughout the therapeutic process, and comfortable with the direction of their own treatment.

Does your child or youth feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed often? Are they creative worriers that tend to avoid situations, have difficulties in school, and struggle with irritability and low mood? Does your struggle with aggression and behavior? Over the past 10 years I have been counselling children, youth, adolescents, and their families. I provide a warm, humorous, and skillful approach to working with all individuals and tailor my treatment to meet my clients needs.

I have spent the past 30 years working with children, youth and their caregivers providing Mental Health treatment for a wide range of challenges facing families today. Whether it is proactively building resilience, providing age appropriate psycho-education or teaching behaviour management skills and coping strategies, I have experience with trauma, school related difficulties, emotion regulation, anger management, behaviour management, self-esteem, LGBTQ guidance and crisis. I encourage an open mind and a genuine desire to explore ones self to find strength and insight to move forward on their personal journey of life.

Have you ever felt unseen, unsafe, or unwelcome in therapy? Like you don't belong there, or your therapist just doesn't get you? Your therapist should be one person with whom you don’t have to mask or hide parts of yourself. I welcome the weirdos, the outsiders, the black sheep. Those who are tired of having to over-explain or justify their existence, identities, or the way their brain works. You are welcome to just be yourself with me. Even if you don’t know who that is yet! What a treat to get to explore that together! See who you are beyond the weight of self-criticism and other's expectations. Become who you really want to be.
