To be seen and heard, your story matters! As humans, we all face big and small challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming. If you are going through a difficult time, know you are not alone. Life can throw us unexpected curveballs, and it’s okay to seek help when we need it. It’s important to remember that seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Asking for help is a courageous step toward taking charge of your life. As a therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my work. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, creative, and collaborative. I do not view people as an assembly of problems and issues but as complicated human beings struggling with life’s challenges. I believe that every person has the potential to overcome their challenges and achieve their desired outcomes. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their behavioral patterns, and develop the skills and strategies they need to lead more satisfying lives. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, or simply feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and more. I tailor my approach to meet everyone’s unique needs and goals. I am a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT) and the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Feeling curious about my therapy style? Get in touch and book your first consultation session for free with me. Let’s see how our exploration unfolds together.

Welcome to a space where healing meets possibility, and transformation flourishes! I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Music Therapist passionate about helping individuals who are open-minded and committed to their personal growth and healing journey. In my work, I have had the privilege to see clients find their voice, express their needs, and set boundaries. My goal is to help you explore your thoughts and emotions, rewrite your stories, reclaim your power, and forge deeper connections with yourself and others. With over 5 years of experience in the mental health field, I am interested in supporting those experiencing general life stressors and transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, self-worth, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. My favourite parts about being a therapist include ongoing learning, feeling connected to my clients, holding the therapeutic space for them, and feeling proud of them. I work from a culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens. From these perspectives, I integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Music Therapy. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and strengths-based, focusing on uncovering the underlying patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back from living life more authentically. Together, we'll explore your strengths, values, and aspirations to help you overcome obstacles, cultivate resilience, and thrive in the different areas of your life. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your deepest truths, express your authentic self, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. From my own lived experiences and my work with others, I can appreciate that we all go through many unique experiences that shape who we are. I value the uniqueness of each client and believe that therapy is not a “one size fits all.” I strive to tailor treatment to each client’s experiences, needs, and goals, adapting and adjusting as needed. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology Degree from Yorkville University, and an Honours Bachelor of Music Therapy Degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. When I’m not a therapist, I love eating out, watching soap operas, and travelling!

Toronto, ON, Canada

Choosing to add therapy/counselling to your life can be an empowering one. Therapy works best when the connection and relationship are placed at the highest priority of the work we do together. You can expect compassion balanced with directiveness from my approach. I’ll support you to navigate big feelings and self-understanding so that you can lead a more connected and meaningful life. As a Social Worker, I am proud that I have been trained from a lens of anti-oppression, intersectionality, and being trauma-informed. I work with the understanding that mental health can be challenged by social and cultural forces such as racism, homophobia, and other experiences of discrimination. Your individuality will always be celebrated in our collaborative work together. I understand it's difficult to know if we're a good fit until we meet. I offer a free 15 min consultation and I am also very open to your questions by e-mail. Please don't hesitate to reach out! Specializations: Trauma, Developmental trauma, Family trauma, Generational trauma

Gwyneth Hodgins, (she/her), MSW RSW

location

Oakville, ON, Canada

I believe in everyone's innate ability to grow, to heal, and to thrive, if only given the chance. As your therapist, I'm here to create the space and the opportunity for your own inner wisdom to emerge. I aim to create a soft, gentle landing place for you to unpack your emotions, thoughts, wishes, and experiences. Where you can laugh as much as you cry, and where you can feel truly seen. I invite you to explore your most private thoughts, your painful memories, and your deepest sense of self, all while knowing you are cared for and not judged. I can be serious and compassionate, and I can also be silly and playful. I love to explore metaphor and stories, and I aim to connect emotions and experiences to the body and its intuitive knowing. I am trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-racist in my approach. I work with teenagers (14+) and adults.

Brooke Growden

Do you want to understand why you keep responding the same way to what life throws at you? Perhaps your ways of operating the world served you well at one time, but no longer serve you now. Or perhaps you have experienced trauma. These revelations can become apparent to us as we navigate life transitions such as starting academic programs, new careers, relationships, or becoming a parent. Or, sometimes we just don’t want to operate on autopilot anymore. In our work together we will explore the unconscious mind and how past experiences, especially those from early childhood or traumatic experiences, influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. As well, we will work to support your experience in the present with support for stress, burnout, resilience, and balance. I can offer you a safe and supportive space for you to explore your inner wisdom and resources. I can offer you a space to be heard and empowered. I am trained in the Flash Technique, an intervention used to lessen the emotional intensity associated with traumatic memories. I am a Registered Psychotherapist-Qualifying. I have a PhD in Education, MA in Counselling Psychology, and Master of Education. I draw on my experiences as an academic and educator to support my counselling practice. I take an eclectic approach to psychotherapy with my clients, as I want to meet you where you need support. I offer virtual counselling, so you can access support from a space that is safe and comfortable for you. Reach out for a free 40 minute consultation.
