Stress therapists in Burlington, Ontario ON, Canada CA

Many of our registered psychologists and licensed therapists have extensive training and experience providing psychotherapy treatment for stress to children, adolescents, and adults.  

I work with individuals and couples that experience stress from any range of issues, including work, marriage, family, other life events.  

While many causes of stress may be out of your control, working with a stress therapist can help you examine the sources and impact of stress in your life. By becoming aware of the social and internal expectations we place on ourselves, we can develop a self compassionate approach as we navigate life’s natural stressors.  

Are you feeling burnt out, having trouble concentrating, or experiencing forgetfulness, restlessness or problems focusing? Are you experiencing headaches, back or chest pain, lightheadedness or pins and needles? Do you feel the urge to pull back socially? Smoking or drinking more? Angry outbursts or unexplained crying? You may be at your stress threshold, and stress left unchecked or ineffectively managed can adversely affect your quality of life. You have found your tribe! I support individuals like you and most Canadians struggling to cope with stress. Unchecked or mismanaged attempts become rigid expressions of control, and pleasurable activities and social connections become limited and restricted, leaving one to feel isolated, alone and overwhelmed. Working together, we will develop personalized coping strategies that transform your functional relationship with stressful situations - what triggers you and how you react. We will strive to cultivate a flexible approach, so stressful situations have less impact and influence on your life. I aim to help you feel empowered to drop the struggle against yourself and begin to find freedom and fulfillment.  

Are you burnt out? Do you feel overwhelmed, in a state of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion? The stresses of your work and responsibilities may lead to fatigue, frustration, and apathy. I want to offer you support in finding ways to help you discover your personal desires and needs. I hope to work with you to help you relieve some of the mental and/or emotional strain, prevalent in all areas of your life. Let us find strategies to implement healthy self-care and self-compassion practices.  

I help clients identify stressors in their lives and work towards understanding them better, so we can look at ways to manage the stress that has become overwhelming.  

I just want to go to the beach. ... but no... after a few days I get bored. Life without stress is ... death? Colloquially maybe yes, and still with stress, there is a lot of hormonal involvment in the body that can shorten your life , so its about balance in the end.  

Stress is a feeling where one is unable to cope-up with the changing demands of life. Such feelings may be immediate and incontrollable. If not taken care at an earlier stage, it may lead to serious mental health issues and may lead towards addictions.  

My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Working with a therapist can help you examine the sources of stress in your life and to develop alternative responses aimed to improve your well-being. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.
