Welcome! I’m Tyler, Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and post graduate training in individual, couples, and sex therapy. Finding a therapist that you can connect with is critical to getting the support you are looking for. At the heart of my work is a client-centred approach which emphasizes respect, compassion, and authenticity. My work integrates the importance of how culture, race, sexual orientation, and gender expression may influence you and your life. No two circumstances are the same, so together we can explore how your unique lived experience shapes your emotional reality.

I support individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of concerns related to relationships, communication, emotional and sexual intimacy, self esteem, depression, life transitions, bereavement, trauma, and anxiety. I have a special interest in working with couples, neurodiversity, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, immigrants, and high performance sports. My therapeutic approach with individuals integrates a mixture of relational, psychodynamic, emotion focused, attachment based, body based awareness practices, mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy.

With couples, my work is informed by the Couples Institute Developmental Model, Gottman Method, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), Assessing and Treating Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy (ATSIP), and Tammy Nelson’s certification in Sex Therapy. Couples therapy can help you communicate more effectively, understand yourself and partner on deeper levels, resolve conflict in healthier ways, enhance emotional & physical intimacy, tackle decisions or life transitions, manage grief or loss, and create a shared vision for your future.

I work collaboratively with you, and with a solid understanding of attachment, trauma and neuroscience, I will support & guide you to explore, grow, and heal, helping you make sense of your lived experience, identify areas for growth, and reach goals that are important to you. I look forward to the possibility of working together!

Client Focus: Adults, Teens (15+), Neurodiverse Adults & Teens, Couples, Neurodiverse Couples, Non-Monogamous Relationships, LGBTQIA2S+

Types of Therapy: Relational, Psychodynamic, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Attachment-Based, Couple’s Institute Developmental Model, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Somatic, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST).

Hello! I’m Sara, and I’m honoured to offer individual and relationship counselling for adults and youth aged 15 and older. It brings me joy to be a part of your journey toward greater well-being, and I look forward to working together to help you achieve your personal goals.

I have a rich educational background and diverse experience that enables me to connect with clients from all walks of life. While I embrace a wide array of topics, my specializations and passions include supporting individuals and couples with neurodiversity (ADHD & Autism), trauma and PTSD, addictions and substance use, and relational dynamics.

I’m here to support you through various challenges, whether you’re facing anxiety, autism, ADHD, addictions, depression, chronic illness (both mental and physical), trauma (including PTSD and C-PTSD), LGBTQIA+ issues, or loss and grief. I also have experience and training in areas related to sex, intimacy, and relationships, including non-monogamous, and neurodiverse partnerships.

As a neurodivergent myself, I truly understand living in a world that wasn’t necessarily designed for you and that can be at times isolating. I am committed to ensuring you have a different experience, one that helps you discover your strengths and moves toward empowerment!

In our work together, each session begins with a process of sharing and getting comfortable with one another. This foundational step allows us to explore how past experiences have shaped your present—what I refer to as the “living legacy” of our experiences. Together, we will develop practical tools to cope with life’s challenges while also addressing the core issues that may be holding you back from living authentically and in a way that truly resonates with you. By examining these deeper layers, we can work toward meaningful change and growth.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic and relational frameworks, narrative therapy, trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST), somatic and body-based awareness techniques, relational life therapy, harm reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and internal family systems (IFS). My goal is to meet you where you are, employing a harm reduction model that respects your dignity and rights, particularly as we navigate issues around addiction, self-harm, and mental health disorders.

Creating a safe and trusting environment is a top priority for me. I want you to feel empowered and in control of your healing journey. I genuinely value and respect our unique experiences and am committed to seeing the world through your eyes. With my experience and a heartfelt commitment to ongoing learning, I believe we can co-create a meaningful therapeutic experience that is uniquely yours - one that brings you the fulfillment and contentment you truly deserve!

Areas of Support: Communication for Couples, Grief & Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Trauma, LGBTQIA2S+, Life Transitions, Meditation, Stress Management, Personal Growth & Self Enhancement, Coping with Illness, Death and Dying.

Client Focus: Adults, Couples, Teens, Families

Types of Therapy: Relational, Psychodynamic, Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT) Developmental Model Couple’s Institute, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Gottman Method, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuropsychotherapy, Somatic Therapy

With over twenty five years of clinical experience, I offer relational, psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals (aged 13 plus), couples and families. I am experienced in helping people who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, personal boundaries, relationships, parenting, gender identity, LGBTQ2S+, sexuality, ageing, and spirituality.

Therapy may explore feelings, thoughts, behaviours and relational patterns to assist with increased self awareness, self esteem and acceptance. As well, therapy helps with learning skills that improve communication, mood, relationships and better management of life’s stressful situations. Sessions may include aspects of mindfulness, somatic awareness, attachment therapy and psycho-education. I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is essential and strive to create a warm and safe environment. Clients often share with me that through therapy they discover a sense of greater clarity, peace, happiness and freedom in their lives.

When working with families who have teens or young adults, my work is informed by Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT). ABFT is research based and I have found this model to be beneficial for helping parents and children repair ruptures and develop or rebuild more emotionally secure relationships. A family commitment of 12-16 sessions is required.

When working with couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) in combination with a relational psychodynamic approach.

Areas of Support: Teenage Issues, Menopause Support, Spiritual Journey Exploration, Anxiety & Stress, Relationships.

Client Focus: Teens, Adults, LGBTQIA2S+

Types of Counselling: Jungian, Gestalt, Reichian, Mindfulness, Relational, Psychosynthesis, Movement & Expression, Visualization, Eastern Traditions, Buddhist Meditation.

The roads have been colourful and the path winding! My own healing journey started with Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms where stories of joy, shame, trauma, and grief danced to the surface. The journey deepened through my training at the Transpersonal Therapy Centre where I completed a three year professional Psychotherapy Training Diploma in 2008.

I offer support and guidance with teen issues, relationships, stress & anxiety, and menopause. My commitment for ongoing self reflection, healing, and liberation is entwined in my every day, and I honour this opportunity to walk alongside and support you on your own path of self discovery and healing!

I have been working with teens for over 25 years both academically and emotionally supporting them through this incredible and essential transitional time of their lives. I have worked with teens who struggle to cope with the demands of school, are navigating issues in both friendship and family dynamics, are exploring identity or gender issues, and who are finding their way through the complex emotional landscape of becoming a whole and individuated self. Providing a safe and non judgmental space is essential for teens, and I focus on establishing a strong and spacious relational connection so that they feel comfortable to share and express themselves freely.

I also work with women who are experiencing the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of the transitional time we call the Menopause. Embracing spiritual changes during Menopause allows us to connect with self compassion & love, find meaning, purpose, peace, and fulfillment in our lives. This transitional time can bring with it turbulence and uncertainty. I offer both individual sessions and group workshops, which can be extremely supportive in exploring and finding meaning at this time of life.

I integrate the teachings of Carl Jung, Gestalt Psychology, Reichian Therapy, Mindfulness, Relational work, Psychosynthesis, Movement, Visualization, and Eastern Traditions like Buddhist Meditation and Sri Aurobindo.

Whether you are seeking guidance for relationships, anxiety, stress management, menopause, or teenage issues, our work together will be unique to your needs and lived experience. Together, we will create a safe space for you to explore yourself, your subconscious, illuminate both the shadow and the light that lives within each of us, and how life’s challenges are often a gateway to self-realization!

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consult, please don’t hesitate to contact me at danielle@horizontherapy.ca
