Thinking Disorders
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Thinking difficulties can affect clarity, communication, focus, memory, decision-making, and how safe or connected you feel. Therapy can offer support with grounding, coping, emotional regulation, stress reduction, and navigating the impact of these experiences on daily life. I work collaboratively and encourage coordinated care when additional medical or psychiatric support is needed.

Thinking Disorders
Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be helpful for addressing problematic thinking patterns that are related to distressing memories or traumatic experiences. It works by helping individuals reprocess and reduce the emotional charge associated with these memories, which can in turn lead to more adaptive and less problematic thinking patterns.
For example, if someone's problematic thinking is linked to a traumatic event, EMDR can assist in desensitizing the emotional impact of that event, making it easier for the individual to develop healthier and more constructive thought processes. While EMDR may not directly target all forms of problematic thinking, it can be a valuable tool when such thinking is rooted in past traumas or distressing memories. It's important to consult with a qualified EMDR therapist to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.

Thinking Disorders
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Thinking disorders and unusual thought patterns can feel confusing, frightening, isolating, or deeply misunderstood. Challenges with thought organization, perception, reality testing, intrusive beliefs, or cognitive overwhelm can affect daily functioning, relationships, safety, and self-trust.
My background in acute mental health, hospital settings, and broader mental health care allows me to approach these experiences with compassion, practicality, and respect. I understand that these challenges are often complex and may intersect with trauma, neurodivergence, mood disorders, nervous system dysregulation, or other mental health concerns.
My approach focuses on reducing fear and shame, strengthening grounding, supporting insight when possible, building practical coping strategies, and helping you better understand what may be happening while working collaboratively with appropriate medical or psychiatric care when needed. Together, we focus on safety, stability, and support that feels realistic and personalized.

Barrie is a city on Kempenfelt Bay of Lake Simcoe north of Toronto that has become one of Ontario's fastest-growing communities as families and professionals seek more affordable housing within commuting distance of the city, and the resulting rapid growth has created both rising demand for therapy and the particular challenges of a community still building its social infrastructure. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre provides hospital-based mental health services, and Georgian College contributes to the local supply of trained counsellors through its health and wellness programs. The proximity to Muskoka cottage country and year-round outdoor recreation options give the city a quality-of-life appeal, though cold winters and long commutes to Toronto are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. Common therapy concerns include commuter stress, relocation and transition challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and the pressures of family life in a rapidly changing community.
