When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins. You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story. Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running. ​ What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.  

What if your psychologist could help you overcome challenges AND be at your best? Dr. Wiens works with professionals to address a range of challenges with their careers, relationships, and mental health. He also provides career and leadership coaching to assist clients in navigating and advancing their careers. His clients are career-oriented individuals, including students, professionals, leaders, and business owners.  

I arrive at a career as a therapist in my 40s with a previous background in business and arts as well as personal experience with multicultural issues and an inter-racial marriage. My own experiences provide me with a clearer understanding of and compassion for the struggles clients face.  

At Ripple Effect Counselling & Psychotherapy, I provide evidence-based, goal-oriented psychological treatment. As an Ontario Registered Psychotherapist (RP), I utilize established clinical modalities, including EMDR, to address complex psychological challenges, trauma, and anxiety. My practice prioritizes an analytical, structured approach aimed at supporting symptom management and functional improvement. Contact me to initiate a targeted, clinically sound treatment plan.  

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or disconnected from your sense of self? Past experiences, mood changes, or ongoing self-doubt can leave you feeling exhausted and unsure if things will ever feel different. These struggles can impact your daily life and relationships, making it hard to find calm or clarity. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel grounded, confident, and supported. I can help you begin that process and feel like yourself again.  

My work is trauma-informed, compassionate, culturally relevant, and shaped by an awareness that every person carries the capacity and wisdom to heal. My approach is non-judgmental and based in relationality, as starting with a strong therapeutic relationship is important for fostering your experiences and authentic self to flow naturally. If you’re feeling fed up with the weight of your emotions and feeling like every day is a struggle to manage, then therapy might be your next step. Therapy can be the place to not only work through the traumatic and difficult parts of your life, but also to celebrate your progress and all the beautiful things that you experience along the way. I offer a free 15-minute New Client Consultation to help you find out if I would be a good fit for you.  

I offer warm, attuned, and inclusive online therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity, family, and work. My approach integrates Gestalt, IFS (parts work), and somatic strategies to support nervous system regulation and deeper self-understanding. I hold space for the full range of your experience—without judgment—and tailor our work to what feels most supportive and effective for you. Healing, to me, is not just personal—it’s also a step toward creating a more compassionate world.  

Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use. I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s. I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you. In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world. If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.  

As a therapist with over nine years of experience, my practice is deeply rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).  

I strive to provide a safe place where my clients can feel truly seen, heard and understood so that we can work together to find a better way forward weather that means having deeper understanding of yourself within the complexities of life and relationships or simply having some strategies, tools or goals to work on to further growth and development.  

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and driven, yet internally struggling with relationship conflict, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, career stress, or recurring interpersonal patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Therapy can offer a space to better understand these experiences, navigate difficult emotions and relationships, and develop more grounded and meaningful ways forward. My approach is collaborative, reflective, compassionate and direct when helpful. I aim to create a space where clients can explore difficult emotions honestly, while feeling supported, understood, and challenged toward growth. Prior to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist, I worked as a family law lawyer. That experience informs my understanding of conflict, emotional strain, and the complexity people carry beneath outward competence. My life experience also includes marriage, parenthood, and work within finance/asset management which shapes the perspective I bring into therapy. In couples work, I help partners better understand recurring cycles of conflict so that more emotionally honest, insightful and productive conversations may emerge. Whether for individual therapy or couples therapy, finding the right fit is essential. I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation to see if we would work well together.  

The Mental Game Clinic is a team of registered psychologists, psychotherapists and mental performance consultants with a specific interest in performance excellence. We work collaboratively with our clients to achieve their goals for therapy, life and their careers. We change the world by supporting the people who change the world.  

When life gets noisy, therapy should feel steady and useful. I’m a psychotherapist with Durham Psychotherapy, and my clients describe me as clear, warm, and evidence-based. Together we’ll reduce symptoms fast—worry, panic, low mood, intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, burnout—while also addressing the patterns that keep them returning. You set the pace; I bring proven methods and practical coaching so change actually sticks. Let’s talk, book a free 15-minute consultation, no pressure.  

First Step Men's Therapy was created with one purpose: help men across Ontario lead healthier, happier, more connected lives. Many of our clients come to us feeling lost, broken, powerless, isolated, disconnected, and distracted. Many men try to get better on their own, only to stumble further. Our goal is to work with you to learn more about yourself and develop the tools, resources, and awareness needed to grow, heal, and live. Whether you are struggling with addiction, trauma, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, shame, depression, or any other mental health challenge, we are here to help.  

Do you often feel like it's up to you to keep the peace in relationships or get things done? You may be conscientious, dependable, and committed to doing things “the right way,” while privately experiencing stress, exhaustion, self-criticism, or disconnection. If you identify with Type C traits, you may prioritize others, avoid conflict, keep difficult emotions to yourself, and feel pressure to continually accomplish more. While these qualities can reflect strength and integrity, they may also contribute to burnout, chronic stress or pain, disrupted sleep, relationship difficulties, and feeling dissatisfied despite your achievements. I support high-functioning adults who want to maintain their values and sense of purpose while developing greater balance, self-compassion, and emotional well-being. Our collaborative, trauma-informed work may focus on boundaries, communication, stress management, self-criticism, sleep, chronic pain, emotional expression, or relationships. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies tailored to your goals so you can protect your energy, strengthen connections, and create lasting change—without losing who you are. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit.  

It takes courage to ask for help. I am aware of the enormous amount of pain people carry every day, everywhere and I feel compelled to reach out and help them tap into a more meaningful life, to teach them they have value, to help them gain an increased sense of control over their own life, to help them recognize their resilience and improve the quality of their relationships. We are all in this together.  

With over 20 years' counselling experience let me help you find the life you wish for. I am the proud mother of 4 sons (now adult) and grandmother to 8 (a mixture of girls and boys)! In addition to counselling I’ve worked in hospital administration, construction, business, advertising/marketing and farming. I also love to learn. Neurodiversity explains how our brains work and affect our behaviour and enables us to use tools to level the playing field so that you get the absolute most from your life. Explore the connection between your reactions and your past and the strong connection between the body, the psyche and the brain (including polyvagal work). (I also ballroom-dance at every opportunity!)  

Life’s challenges often bring a mix of emotions, from uncertainty and frustration to a strong desire for change and understanding. Through virtual therapy, I provide a compassionate and accessible space to explore these difficulties. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to manage emotions effectively, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to explore deeper emotional experiences. For those seeking solutions and clarity, I draw on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify actionable steps, while Person-Centered Therapy ensures that each session prioritizes your unique experiences and needs. For couples, I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and rebuild trust. Together, these approaches help individuals and couples overcome challenges like trauma, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship dynamics, creating opportunities for meaningful and lasting growth. My approach is designed to foster understanding and promote healthier, more fulfilling relationships through expert, empathetic guidance. Call for a free consultation  

I support you in reconnecting with yourself — developing greater self-awareness, understanding the patterns that shape your life, and building a stronger sense of self grounded in authenticity, resilience, and self-compassion.  

Post-pandemic life is certainly a new normal. I notice many people are having trouble adjusting to the changes, and cannot quite return to the life they used to know. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am happy to help you connect to your self, improve your functioning, determine your next moves, and move past any fears or insecurities that are holding you back. I specialize in LGBTQ+ populations, trauma recovery, improving attachment issues, and overcoming depression and anxiety. My preferred modalities are EFT, CBT, ACT, IFS, and SE.
