Depression, anxiety, stress and grief/loss are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives.  During the therapy sessions you will be treated with respect and go at the pace you are most comfortable with. 

In therapy you can learn to develop a new perspective on your situation and create individualized coping strategies to help you to meet your personal goals and feel more in control of your own thoughts, feelings and emotions.     

Rural Community and Accessibility options:

Bonnie offers therapy for members of rural and remote communities.

As a member of the rural community, Bonnie understands the lack of available services, and the challenges of transportation, added travel time and normal office hour scheduling.   Bonnie can provide therapy to individuals from anywhere in Ontario at flexible times, offering you access to quality private mental health services..

Group Therapy: Throughout the year small groups will be offered to address anxiety, back to school stress, changes in families, transition planning into and out of school or work.  Check the website for more information as they are scheduled.  

As we all navigate through the challenges of the Global Pandemic,  Bonnie can work with you to develop strategies to manage any anxious and nervous feelings that this may trigger.  There are more stressful situations and unpredictability now, which can have a noticeable impact on both physical and mental health.

Bonnie will be glad to meet with you for a phone or video appointment to address these concerns, at a time that works best for you. Bonnie serves residents of Ontario.

"I wish you and your family good health.  Please don't hesitate to contact me through phone or email if you would like to arrange an appointment or are looking for additional supports and information as we all try to navigate our way through this challenging and unpredictable time. "
