Cierra DoCouto

Do your relationships feel intense, unpredictable, or emotionally draining? Do you find yourself replaying the same arguments, walking on eggshells, or questioning your own reactions? You’re not alone and therapy can be the place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and find steadiness and clarity in the chaos. I’m Cierra Docouto, a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Guiding You Counselling and Psychotherapy. I provide individual therapy for adults and teenagers in Burlington, Ontario, and virtually across Ontario. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, make sense of relationship patterns, and reconnect with your own needs and values. I work with individuals navigating high-conflict or emotionally intense relationships, as well as challenges related to anxiety, trauma, attachment, and self-esteem. Together, we identify what drives your patterns, develop strategies to manage emotional overwhelm, and create healthier ways to relate to yourself and others. My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, grounded in compassion, trust, and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-focused approaches — all tailored to help you feel more in control, resilient, and self-compassionate. At Guiding You Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am committed to providing ethical, confidential, and culturally responsive care in accordance with CRPO standards. I am currently accepting new clients for in-person sessions in Burlington and virtual therapy across Ontario. If you’re ready to feel more clarity, confidence, and peace in your relationships, I invite you to reach out today.
