Psychotherapy Services
What is Psychotherapy?
Cedar Tree Therapy offers psychotherapy in Whitby, Ontario. Virtual Sessions are available to anyone living in Ontario. You do not need a referral from a doctor to make an appointment.
Psychotherapy refers to a type of talk therapy that can come in many forms. Psychotherapy is based on the relationship and regular interactions between the client and therapist where the goal is working together towards positive change for that client.
Anxiety Therapy
Sometimes a little anxiety can motivate us, but there comes a time when it’s too much. Anxiety feels like that pit of dread in your stomach and too many thoughts swirling around your head, feeling like you can’t stop them. Therapy with Dana can offer tools to make anxiety more manageable.
Self Esteem Therapy
Together, we address feelings of not being good enough, feeling unworthy, feelings of guilt and shame for just being yourself that might be stopping you from engaging in the things you want to do.
Body Image
Maybe you are finding it difficult to be in a social setting without being preoccupied about your physical “imperfections”. Modern media has taught us that our worth is based on how we look and our physical appearance. We will work together to dismantle this narrative.
Other Mental Health Challenges
Maybe none of your concerns fit into the above, all you know is that your mental load is too much to carry alone and you’re willing to try something new. Therapy recognizes where you are at and gives you tools to get you where you want to be.
For Parents
Dana is perfectly suited to help teenagers and young adults. Dana is the teenager whisperer, her energy is relatable and approachable enough to connect with teens in a way that’s so important for therapy, yet professional and serious enough to support meaningful progress and to relate and connect to parents. During adolescence, teens are separating from their parents. They take more interest in their peers which is necessary and appropriate to allow them to leave the nest. It can feel like they are rejecting their parents. It can be such a challenging time, having support for both you and your teen is key.
Mental Health Occupational Therapy
Why choose a mental health Occupational Therapist that practices psychotherapy as your mental health practitioner? An Occupational Therapist brings something different to the table than standard therapist. Occupational Therapists believe that healing comes from doing, so we are naturally drawn to concrete, actionable goals. Whether it be engaging in an activity you really used to enjoy again, or working up the courage to order a coffee. Our therapy is based in doing.
