Online Therapy
in Ontario
and
In-Person Psychotherapy in Ajax
Trauma-informed psychotherapy for women, girls, parents and families across Ontario, online and in person in Ajax. Find support for anxiety, CPTSD, burnout, grief, ADHD, attachment wounds and patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Sessions are available in English and American Sign Language.
You might be wondering if this is for you.
Maybe you have spent years appearing capable on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or exhausted underneath.
​
Perhaps you people-please, shut down, overthink or react in ways that only make sense after the moment has passed. Old experiences may be showing up in your relationships, parenting, work, body or sense of self.
​
You may be navigating trauma, grief, ADHD, perimenopause, burnout, attachment wounds or a life transition that has stirred up more than expected.
​
You are not broken. Your nervous system learned ways to protect you. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, build greater safety and make room for something new.
This is the work we do at Waves,
with women, girls,
and anyone ready to understand themselves differently.
Whether you are ready to begin therapy, looking to learn and grow outside the therapy room, seeking community, or a practitioner wanting to deepen your practice, there is a place for you here.
