Suffering from time to time is inevitable, but perhaps many of us don't know how to do it productively when we are overwhelmed. We all need supportive relationships sometimes, and many of us a little compassionate guidance in the process of understanding ourselves, easing our suffering, and creating more harmony within. Sometimes different parts of ourselves compete for soothing and a sense of safety, leaving us divided, overwhelmed and stuck. Traumatic experiences can rob us of our perspective and the feeling of being human. They can make us feel inept, unsafe, insignificant, isolated or worthless. But we are not, we are only human--among humans. Sometimes parts of us may feel at odds with other important people or entities in our lives, communities, the world, nature, the universe, or the spiritual realm. Welcome to my practice, currently in my home office in Kitchener, Ontario. More than 25 years of training and experience in psychotherapy has brought me to the present, which is not my destination but an ever existing waypoint in my lifelong quest for learning and growth. I take my own healing and growth seriously. When I have room in my practice, I welcome adults 18 and up (or pre-existing child clients), individuals, couples and families. I welcome those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship challenges. I welcome neuro-divergent clients struggling with impacts to their learning, relationships and sense of identity and safety in the world. I am happy to consult with parents struggling to help their children with mood, behaviour, stress and challenges to learning and development. I may serve you if your needs align with my being the right person, at the right time and place for you. My approach to therapy mostly integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and understanding the nervous system (polyvagal theory), as well as many other elements of Behaviour Therapies (CBT/DBT), Narrative , Psychodynamic, Body-centred, Mindfulness, Attachment, Play therapy and Systemic Couple and Family Therapies.

Life can be messy, complicated, and sometimes just plain hard. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you're not alone. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s weighing you down and work towards meaningful change. Using a client-centred, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, I integrate various therapeutic modalities to help you understand your emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build the life and relationships you truly want. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s take that first step together.

Clare Pentelow is a warm, compassionate therapist who uses evidence based counselling approaches to support her clients reaching their therapeutic goals. She has been working in private practice for over 5 years, and in the mental health field for 9 years. She uses therapeutic techniques such as EMDR, Solution Focused Therapy, CBT and psychodynamic therapy to support clients in deepening their understanding of themselves, processing challenging memories, and discovering the path forward when it comes to coping with difficult symptoms and personal growth.

Life can be painful, overwhelming, or just complicated. A gentle guiding hand can help you navigate the turbulent waters of life to find the change you are searching for. There are many reasons to seek out counselling and it can be a very scary thing to do. Tough memories from the past, a recent loss, mounting stress, or just feeling "stuck" can get in the way of experiencing life. There is no one reason and no one right moment to reach out and begin seeking answers to the questions you want to explore. My approach is welcoming and invitational: to meet you where you are at while also confronting the issues at hand. The counselling relationship and respect that you are the expert in your own life is key to providing quality support. I look forward to sharing in the challenges, the laughs, and the changes that make counselling the journey that it is. I offer weekday and evening appointments for individuals and couples. I have experience working with folks ages 16+. I do not hold a waitlist. Free parking is also available. To learn more about me, or to schedule a free 30 minute in-person or phone consultation, I invite you to get in touch.

In her book The Gifts of Imperfection, Bréné Brown says that “owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do”. It is my privilege as a Psychotherapist to provide space and support as individuals dive into the stories of their lives and do the hard work of healing. Trained in EMDR, I’m grateful to be able to provide an opportunity for individuals to release the emotional, mental, and physical blocks caused by trauma and other difficult life circumstances using this dynamic and evidence-based therapy. I am committed to creating a safe environment and therapeutic relationship for my clients and strive to meet you where you are at with an approach that best suits your needs. My therapeutic technique draws not only on EMDR but also incorporates mindfulness-based, cognitive processing therapy, internal-family systems, DBT, neurobiological, and attachment-based therapies.

Hey there! If you are struggling with trauma and symptoms due to that trauma - anxiety, depression, low-self worth, people pleasing - I would love to meet with you! I am a collaborative therapist that works from a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens. Using an intersectional approach, I work with others to heal from the past while reducing current symptoms to bring out the best version of you.

I offer a welcoming space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. My approach blends curiosity, compassion, and evidence-based tools to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.

Reaching out for help, especially from a stranger, is incredibly scary and courageous - the first step is often the hardest. At Will Therapy Services, we always feel honoured to join our clients on their journey to wellness and welcome the opportunity to work with you. We're committed to working with you at your pace. Each of our approaches, although individual, are down to earth and collaborative, always. We strive to maintain an emotionally safe and judgment free space so that you may feel respected and heard. We have a wide range of experience working with youth/adolescents, adults, parents, couples and families. We've supported clients extensively in the areas of trauma, attachment, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief, substance issues, eating disorders, relationship issues, conflict resolution, emotion regulation challenges, anger management, self-esteem, teen issues, stress management, and more. We encourage you to take that first step and reach out!

Often our journeys can lead us to so many choices, so many dreams, and so many despairs. There may have been times where you have had thoughts of stress, worry, anxiety, depression, and grief. You may have also experienced culture shock, overwhelmingness, and rejection. These experiences can often be physically and mentally exhausting, and there may be times where you felt like quitting. My goal is to work with you and provide a safe and supportive environment and offer the most effective and helpful mode of therapy to reach your personal growth. I utilize techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Having said that, I do not structure my practice so that you can only follow my therapy approaches; I structure therapy to fit you and provide you with the best support. I value kindness, supportiveness, and encouragement. I believe in providing a caring and non-judgmental environment for you in an integrative approach through mindfulness, self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-development. If you would like to connect or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out and we can book a free consultation.

Hi, I'm Brianna and my pronouns are she/her. I'm an Art Therapist and I love helping kids with their big feelings! Art can help to express emotions in a way that words alone can't, and it can be especially helpful for kiddos who might have a hard time talking about their feelings. Art can give us a space to dump our messy feelings, to acknowledge them and be with them (even the uncomfortable ones).
