Clientelle
Adults
We treat everyone as equals here at Connecting the Roots therapy. We provide talk therapy for those struggling with anxiety, depression, stagnation, trauma, life stressors, life changes, addiction, confidence building, personal development and grief or loss. We want to hear your story and work together on personal growth.
Children
We would love to get to know your child through art, play, and conversation. We can help to empower your child to express themselves and develop positive coping skills, which can be beneficial for life transitions, behavioural issues, or mental health conditions.
Couples
If you are a couple who are looking to improve your relationship and develop healthy patterns, please reach out! Maybe you are struggling with communication in your relationship, infidelity, lack of connection, life changes, intimacy issues or you looking to improve your dynamic through open conversation, we are happy to be an unbiased guide to this process.
Families
A family is a system, and one person impacts the whole. We can look into the roles of the family members, communication or behaviour patterns or life stages to better understand the root of the issue. Our therapists are ready to collaborate with you on healthy boundaries, and to promote empathy and understanding throughout.

Why Choose Our Therapy Services
Experienced Therapists
All of our therapists are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario or Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and have completed the necessary schooling and hours required to be certified. Many of our therapists have completed extra courses to be as knowledgeable and helpful to different therapeutic scenarios as they can be.
Empathetic and Understanding
Our therapists prioritize building the therapeutic relationship by validating client's experiences and feelings, minimizing feelings of shame or isolation. By offering a safe, non-judgemental space, client's can explore difficult truths and challenge old patterns. We are on your side.
Collaborative and Consent Based
All of the therapy offered at Connecting the Roots is collaborative, which means that you are not being 'told' what to do. You are in the drivers seat of your experience and can work together with your therapist to come up with a plan, disclose only information you are comfortable sharing, and decide which goals you feel ready to work towards.
