Therapists near Newmarket helping Lgbtq with Anxiety Disorders

Seeking help is often difficult but it is the first step in healing. Feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed can make living difficult. You may feel that you have spoken to family, friends but nothing seems to be helping. Reaching out for therapy is a strength, not a weakness. I have a master's degree in Counselling Psychology and am Registered with the Canadian College of Psychotherapist as a Registered Psychotherapist therapist. My previous career as a Registered Nurse provided me with recognizing the need for holistic care in mental health services.

I have worked in social service settings with children and families for over 15 years. Throughout those years, I operated a daycare and worked closely with children and families; as well, I was an Intensive Behavioural Intervention Therapist in a specialized treatment classroom for children with ASD and a Child and Youth Worker in group homes for children with behavioural and emotional challenges. These experiences have provided me with a unique understanding of the needs of parents, children, and the dynamics between couples and families. I believe our work should be collaborative, and I will approach our relationship from a compassionate, non judgmental perspective. I maintain a strong focus on the hierarchy of needs and acknowledge that most of us have a strong desire for acceptance and belonging. Beginning with a psychodynamic approach, we will uncover overarching themes and create healing experiences. Additionally, we will utilize cognitive behavioural therapy to help you understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations and how these various interactions can limit or benefit your everyday experiences. Narrative Therapy will help us understand the stories that have shaped your reality and a solution-focused approach will uncover your inherent strengths and help us develop unique strategies and solutions just for you. I am comfortable with in-person, virtual, and phone sessions and find that each medium has benefits and limitations. I use a holistic, conversational approach and believe that you are the one leading this journey, I am just holding the flashlight.

Do you find yourself stuck and unable to change? You’ve worked hard to get to where you are but find yourself asking “is this as good as it gets?”. You know that pain and stress are a normal part of life, but it throws you every time. You feel irritated when something doesn’t go as planned, or feel like you go from 0 to 100 within a matter of moments. You find yourself going into autopilot just to get through the day, or sometimes even crying all alone. Regardless of when life got hard, it’s the same old pattern. You want to feel better – you just don’t know how. That’s where I come in. I know that our problems show up not only in our thoughts and feelings but in our bodies as well. The tightness in your chest or knot in your stomach may seem to come out of nowhere, but it’s your body’s voice. With my support, you will pay attention to your body in a new way and learn to speak its language. When you understand the way your body communicates, you’ll experience what it feels like to be alive. You’ll gain trust in yourself and confidence to move forward. That longing to reconnect to yourself and the people in your life is within your reach. Visit my website at stephanietelegdi.ca to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

I am Registered Psychotherapist with 20 years experience in the mental health field in the Newmarket area. Specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and PTSD, I help my clients break out of old and unhealthy patterns keeping them stuck in toxic emotions of shame, guilt and blame. Together we work towards understanding “root cause” issues, changes underlying dysfunctional thought patterns, and learning the skills to regualte distresssful emotions. As both a cognitive and psychodynamic therapist, I will take you deeper to the origins of your problems and work with you to resolve inner conflicts preventing you from moving forward in life with hope and enthusiasm.

After trauma, how we view the world and how we feel about the world can be drastically altered. With a trauma informed approach, clients are able to make sense of and have a deeper understanding of their experience, and can begin to embrace the world around them. The way we experience the world profoundly influences our overall psychological health and well-being. Changing this experience by focusing on present thought patterns alone may not be sufficient. A comprehensive, mind-body, holistic model of health care - one that directly addresses experiences and hurts from the past at a deeper level, helps to restore our sense of self. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and certified Trauma Integration Clinician, and my area of expertise is trauma focused care. My training is in trauma and attachment-treatment therapies. I have experience with survivors of trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, stress, burnout and emotional dysregulation.

The team at Dr. Karma Guindon & Associates helps children, teens, and adults heal from past difficulties, cope with present challenges, and live with joy and resilience. We are a group of highly skilled and experienced psychology and social work professionals.
