Therapists in Aylmer, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Julie Willsie
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc, MACP; Registered Psychotherapist
It is my life experience that is my greatest asset; I have divorced, found a wonderful life partner, raised 2 children and 2 stepchildren, and went back to school at 50 to start a new career. Although I know our past shapes us, I really like to focus on the present and how to work together to address your issues, set goals and work at reaching them together. Some of this may require the difficult work of looking back, but always with the focus of moving forward.

Gabrielle Ferguson
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, GC-C, RP-qualifying
Along with providing general psychotherapy, I am certified in grief counselling. I firmly believe that even though grief is one of the hardest things a person will experience, it is not in need of a cure, because you are not sick. Grief needs support and understanding.
Healing comes from within, but only when a person is provided with a strong enough sense of safety.

Mary B Rodenhurst
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker with over forty years of experience working mostly in hospital based Mental Health facilitating individuals, couples and families to achieve well-being and their personal best
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), informed Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and I am also well experienced in facilitating group therapy. I was a member of the teams that developed and implemented the Adult Anxiety and Affective Disorders Program and the Child and Adolescent Day Treatment Program
specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and psychosis at London Health Sciences Center.
In addition to working at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), Madame Vanier Children Services in London Ontario and McDonald House Community Out-patient Psychiatry General Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario,with both adult and adolescent populations, I maintained a private practice since 1990. Since retiring from LHSC in 2016, my private practice has thrived and is now full time.
At times life is a balancing act, and sometimes we need a little guidance and support to maintain that balance. An experienced therapist can help us move through difficult times, better understand our families/relationships, and find our inner sense of peace, well being and wisdom. Having a neutral, non-judgmental place to share difficulties,receive validation and support can be very beneficial. Collaboration to reach your goal is an essential element of our work together. The client brings open communication, a desire for change and I will listen unconditionally and without judgment. We will work together to help you hear your inner voice and nurture your resilience. Sessions are confidential and provide a safe and relaxed environment with your best interests as a priority.
My counselling approach begins with a thorough assessment. This will include gathering information about social supports, daily routines and self care. Once problems are clarified, a detailed plan for counselling is made. Family or close supports are welcome to join sessions as desired. Please note that all counselling sessions will include confidential discussions and note-taking. At the initial session we will discuss consent to services, protection of your personal information and exceptions to confidentiality.

Randi Elizabeth O’Hare
Registered Social Worker, MA, BSW, RSW
*Currently taking new clients!* Authenticity, compassion and results. You can expect all 3 of these from therapy with me. Whether I'm working 1 on 1 with someone or with couples, it's a priority for me to ensure you feel emotionally safe (i.e., not judged) in our sessions. I’m very genuine, knowledgeable, and committed to helping you learn, grow, and to create the changes you want.
Unlike a lot of therapists, I often assign ‘homework’ to my clients to help them practice new skills and learn more about themselves. I value letting my clients be who they are, so laughter or swearing are totally allowed.
I’ve been able to overcome some mental health and personal challenges in my own life. I know what it can feel like to struggle and not know what to do to make things better. I’d be honoured to help you achieve relief and better quality of life by drawing on my training and experience. I work with individuals age 17 and older, and I also provide couples counselling.

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Welcome. I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With curiosity and compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others. My primary focus is building a trusting relationship with you, empowering you to uncover your innate strength and resilience. You're not alone—let's embark on this journey together.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
It's easy to put off starting thearpy. Many of us have things we'd like to work on, but it's hard to find the time and energy to do it.
But the time is now.
You can feel better, heal, and find more peace. A lot of the things that bring people to therapy are not easy to talk about and you have to be willing to be vulnerable. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space for you to feel safe talking about hard or painful things.
Do you think we may be a good fit? Contact me today to set-up a free consultation call so we can find out!

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
*Currently accepting NEW clients with no waitlist* - You deserve to feel better. I am excited and honoured to provide effective therapy. I see all kinds of humans in my practice, who show up struggling with all kinds of human issues. I am excited (and humbled) to work with you on whatever brings you to therapy. Our work together is informed by my experience (nearly twelve years in the mental health system, including hospitals and a school board), knowledge, and more formal certifications in evidence-based ways of doing therapy (like CBT, DBT -- but there is so much more!), and of course by you and the uniqueness of your stories and experiences. Please consider reaching out - I would love to hear from you.
