Personality Disorders Therapists in Ajax, ON
Michelle Mailhiot
Registered Psychotherapist
The approach I use is trauma-focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for complex trauma. EMDR is an effective form of trauma therapy that has been extensively researched to help people who have experienced trauma resume the brain’s natural healing process.

Brian Powell
EMDR Trauma Specialist
I specialize in working with individuals who have tried talk therapy but haven’t yet found the freedom they desire. Through EMDR – a cutting-edge treatment that I honed in my Msw training at The Trauma Institute in Massachusetts – I can help you process and release the emotional weight of past experiences, allowing you to move forward with renewed hope, energy, and resilience.

Cherisse N. Doobay
Therapist
In our first session, I will ask you to share your story about your current struggles. We will work collaboratively to identify the core issues and what your goals are for our work together. At the core of my work is the belief in the resiliency of the human spirit; and that change can happen when we connect with each other and with our human nature.
