Therapists in Ontario

We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive, nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I understand healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.

After having worked in various mental health care settings, I am excited to now focus on my passion for individual counselling. I provide evidence-based therapy to youth and adults and I have a special interest in working with those who experience anxiety, depression, grief and postpartum mood difficulties. I have specialized skills and training in cognitive-behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. I take a hollistic approach when it comes to helping my clients make change and I believe that when client’s challenges and strengths are validated in a supportive and therapeutic space, long lasting change is possible.

Navigating life's crossroads can be especially overwhelming for people grappling with trauma or PTSD. These moments—choosing careers, pursuing education or sports, forming relationships, or seeking personal growth—can be overshadowed by past experiences, intensifying feelings of anxiety, emptiness, and a constant sense that something vital is missing. This can complicate making decisions, having it seem almost impossible to choose the right path forward, and the presence of trauma intensifies the pressure of these decisions. I get it, and I'm here to support you through this struggle, through thick and thin.

Together we will explore the issues you are facing and develop a plan to support you in achieving your goals – whether you are dealing with significant emotional distress, experiencing challenges in your relationships, or seeking to better understand yourself and your experiences. I am particularly passionate about treating complex & childhood trauma, relationship issues & patterns, family dynamics, self-esteem & self-compassion, self-development & growth, and social justice. I also work with depression, anxiety, stress & burnout, emotional regulation, establishing healthy boundaries, and grief.

Life can be full of joy, connection and meaning. It can also be stressful, challenging and wounding. All of us at one time or another can benefit from a safe, supportive place where we can feel heard and guided as we heal or find solutions that are best for us. Minni Sharma (RP) and Kim Hood (RSW) are happy to offer such a place. We will assist you by providing the tools and skills to manage the stressors in your life. Through our non-judgmental and empowering approach, we will assist you in connecting with your own strengths and resilience.

I provide a warm and accepting place where you can be yourself - with all your thoughts and feelings, whatever they might be. Together we will explore what's going on in your life today, and how past experiences affect you in the present. I support you in identifying and moving towards areas of growth and healing that feel right for you, so that you can feel better and thrive in all aspects of your life, including your relationship with yourself and others.

I understand that life can be overwhelming at times. I can help you navigate through life’s difficulties. My goal is to provide a safe ,confidential and supportive environment where you can gain self-awareness and take control of your life and make positive changes. I am specialized in a range of therapeutic approaches and my 30 years of experience of working with individuals, couples, families and teenagers has given me knowledge and skills to customize a treatment plan to meet your unique needs. I am committed to helping you reach your goals and develop a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

You wake up each morning with a swirl of emotions – some days with an anxious pit in your stomach, other days with a heavy weight on your chest. You often feel overwhelmed, not just by the grand narratives of culture and identity, but by the daily stresses that mount up unnoticed. High expectations, perhaps from family, peers, or even yourself. You're seeking guidance, understanding, and strategies tailored to your unique journey. Not just any therapist will do. You’re searching for someone who gets the complexities of walking between two worlds, someone who can truly say, "I understand."

Accepting New Clients: In my practice, I prioritize creating a supportive and relaxed environment where therapy is a highlight of your week, not something you dread. I aim to make each session feel like a meaningful conversation rather than a clinical procedure, where you can laugh and heal in equal measure. My approach is to foster a space where deep reflection leads to clarity and peace, encouraging you to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. I value a therapeutic experience that allows you to be your authentic self, supported by warmth and non-judgment. Each session is designed to empower you, facilitating personal growth

Welcome! At some point, you may have experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or depressed. No one is immune to these common, human conditions. Sometimes, we can work such emotions out on our own by changing our lifestyles, reading books, taking classes, or through talking with friends and family members. Other times, we notice patterns that we haven’t been able to change on our own, or issues start to overwhelm us and negatively affect our lives, relationships, and work. I hope to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients are encouraged to seek positive change and growth.

Is the anxiety and stress you are feeling disrupting the balance in your life? Are you feeling lost and alone? Do you need a safe space to express yourself? I understand that life can sometimes be overwhelming and you want to feel better. Together, we will make that happen. My approach is evidence-based and collaborative to meet the unique need of my clients. Specific modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focused, Mindfulness Based, Compassion and Attachment Focused.

Are you struggling with feeling hopeful about life, family, relationships, or work? Are you grieving a loss through death or life transition? Do you wonder if you should be happier, and more content? Our lives are full of these feelings and emotions, and it seems that more than ever before we are thinking about our lives and feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, and sad. Is this taking a toll on your mind, body and soul? Life should not be so hard to navigate, and I believe you can learn to live a better and more fulfilling life.

Navigating life can sometimes be challenging and overwhelming. We do the best we can and sometimes that can be exhausting. We can feel alone with our problems and potentially criticized for our current situations. What we want is to be happy, to be free from our day to day struggles, and to be back in control of our own life’s journey. With someone there as support, we do not need to tackle these issues on our own. Having a non-judgmental, safe space to talk about and process our thoughts can make all the difference. You are the expert of your own life and I am there to support you in increasing your quality of life.

Connecting with you in a compassionate, empathetic, and relaxed manner. Are you or a loved one experiencing overwhelming feelings of stress and anxiety? I believe in starting our conversation where you are in your life and exploring this with you through strengths based, solution focused counselling and support. When we reach adulthood we are not well prepared for managing the feelings that come with that. Sometimes these overpowering feelings can become so large that we need to reach out and find support from someone like myself that can help you find strength, solutions, and calm in an environment that is peaceful and relaxed.

I am a therapist who has been providing services in the Algoma area for the past eighteen years. I work with children, adolescents, families and emerging adults (18-24 years old) in many areas including anxiety, depression, coping with the impact of trauma and many other areas of need. Working towards earning clients' trust is always a central focus of my work because it takes so much courage to open up, be vulnerable and speak aloud about our true self/ves. That's scary to each and every one of us. If you think we might possibly connect in a way that could help meet your goals, I invite you to reach out to me.

Welcome to your space for authentic self-exploration, emotional healing, and self-discovery. I commit to creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for you. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with trauma, relationship challenges, depression, addiction, and identity crises.

Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step of your mental health journey! Do you struggle with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you going through a life transition that is causing problems and uncertainty in your life? Are you unsure on what your next steps are to develop future life goals? Or perhaps you are struggling with different relationships in your life. I am here to help you navigate life's challenges from a client-focused approach.

I believe that personal health is not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, spirituality and thoughts as well. To help ourselves, we need to feel safe and secure in order to allow ourselves to become vulnerable and therefore able to work through the discomfort of change. There are times when life gets overwhelming as it's part of the human experience. As a result of this, you may feel stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, and your usual coping strategies aren't working. It is helpful to get support from someone who can provide a safe space for you to explore the thoughts and behaviours that are causing you pain.

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of secrecy, shame, and isolation that often accompanies alcohol and/or substance use? Maybe you are wondering if you have a problem with substances, are contemplating change, or are interested in relapse prevention to sustain your gains in recovery. Alternatively, are you exhausted and feeling helpless as you navigate a loved one’s substance use and mental health concerns? Perhaps you are worried about your own well-being and want to reconnect with yourself. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic stress, and major life transitions.
