My belief is that each person can positively change their lives, and that sometimes we just need a little help to do it.

As an experienced teacher myself, I also often support educators. My approach is grounded in humanistic principles, believing in everyone’s capacity for growth.

Hello and Welcome! I am so glad you are here! My name is Elizabeth Boom and I have been providing psychotherapy since 2012. My training includes a Bachelor of Arts Honors in Psychology from the University of Guelph, a Masters of Divinity in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University in Toronto, and extensive professional development including specialized training in EMDR and Brainspotting. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (Supervisor Qualifying) with the Canadian Association for Couple and Family Therapy (CACFT). Currently I specialize with individuals looking to overcome challenges and grow to reach their full potential. One of my greatest joys is seeing the growth, healing and achievements of my clients. I count it a privilege to be able to walk alongside each person though their challenges. Sometimes I like to view psychotherapy through the lens of a hike. Consider me, your therapist as a trustworthy guide and companion on the journey. Together we choose where we would like to end up and decide which challenges to face as a team. We get to know each other as we walk side by side. As obstacles arise I will offer a hand up and tools to help us on the trail. I am here to help point you to the path if you feel lost along the way. Hiking can be hard work and sometimes you can wonder if it is worth it. I take delight in encouraging you and providing you a space where you can pause and reflect on the ground you have covered. After hiking up a trail, it is so rewarding to reach the goal; perhaps it is a lookout point that provides a new perspective, or regaining something that was lost, or maybe a new sense of confidence and peace. When the hike comes to an end we can celebrate the journey we were able to take together. Then if you want to hike together again just get in touch and we can go on a new therapeutic adventure. I provide counselling from a Christian perspective for those who are looking for this approach to therapy. I welcome people of all faiths in my practice. I provide counselling in English only. However, I am able to understand French and Spanish. Some clients find it helpful to be able to express themselves during therapy in these languages when necessary.

As a dedicated and compassionate Registered Psychotherapist, I believe that mental health must recognize the uniqueness of an individual. This is influenced by my own unique experience as a first-generation Indo-Canadian. Within the psychotherapeutic environment, my key values include respecting and empowering clients, while creating a safe, collaborative approach. You are the storyteller of your life, and my role is to further support you while you write, edit, and enhance the pages. My clients have shared that I provide a genuine and non-judgmental presence and therapeutic atmosphere while they explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight into their behaviours, and develop effective steps to enhance their well-being. You can also expect a therapeutic setting that is professional, yet relaxed, and catered to the kind of structure which will help you thrive in sessions. My professional experience includes working with a wide range of therapeutic issues, such as depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, cultural-specific issues, LGBTQIA+ specific issues, life transitions, interpersonal issues, and more. My overall approach is integrative and varies depending on what would be the most beneficial for the client. Thank you for beginning your journey towards healing and self-care, it is not an easy start and I hope you see how strong you are. If you are looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to guide you through life's challenges, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity of working together, as well as support you on your path to personal growth and well-being.

I am the founder of Therapy Uninterrupted, where our focus is on providing exceptional and uninterrupted care from day one and beyond. I work with clients from a person-centred approach, working with you collaboratively to tailor a treatment plan that works best for you. a trained therapist with experience using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Strengths Based Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and perspectives from the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I work from a trauma-informed lens and focus on your well-being in a holistic way. Coming from an anti-oppressive lens, I practice with the values of dignity, diversity, and self-empowerment at the forefront. I highly value honesty, collaboration, respect, and empathy, with the hope of supporting clients in reaching the learning, growth, healing, and true potential they are capable of.

I bring a whole lot of warmth, curiosity, and openness to my work with individuals, couples, and others in relationship. I am guided by a firm belief that attuned relationships hold transformative power for connecting to the fullness of our experiences. They are a resource for tapping into the wisdom, pain, and longings that each of us carry. I ground my practice in a commitment to prioritize the voice, collaboration and agency of those I work with. I am also attentive to the many ways that structural power, social systems, and past and present relationships can impact our lives and the shape of our struggles. Above all, I listen closely and centre what each person identifies as relevant to them, where they are, and where they wish to go. Some of the areas where I have experience and may be able to offer support in navigating include: - relationships with partners, peers, family and others - gender, sexuality, and other facets of identity and practice - sexual and reproductive health - chronic pain, disability, madness, and neurodiversity - feeling states of anxiety, restlessness, hopelessness, depression, sadness and grief - life transitions and daily living - gender-based and sexual violence - power dynamics and harm - unwanted substance use - health-care, housing and other social systems My approach is informed by anti-oppressive, harm reduction, anti-racist, and mad values. The care I offer is sex and kink positive and affirming of queer and trans identities and non-normative relationship structures.

My integrative therapeutic approach is rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and trauma therapies. I believe that we become stuck in our pain when we hold it alone, disconnected from our core emotional experiences, and build defenses that become in a way of living our lives authentically. In our work together, we will explore your struggles and their roots, identify how painful experiences became stuck and are affecting your present-day life, and examine ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world that no longer serve you. We will process unresolved experiences and feelings, helping you access your inner wisdom, strength, and resources to navigate your life in a way that feels right for you. In my work, I’m oriented toward the innate ability to heal and thrive that we all have. I strive to craft an environment where it becomes possible. Even though I co-create a unique therapy with each person, what stays the same is having a safe space to hear your story and a secure relationship to explore it together, figuring out many ways of dealing with life challenges, and reaching for strength and resiliency to master the skill of living. I focus on enhancing emotional awareness, building healthier emotional regulation skills, and cultivating self-compassion. Together, we will work towards healing past traumas, improving relationships, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. Additionally, we can explore existential questions such as the search for meaning, the inevitability of change, and accepting life’s uncertainties, leading to profound insights and a deeper understanding of your place in the world.

The creative adjustments you have made through out your life have supported you. However, are you now finding what has worked for you in the past, is no longer effective, nor fulfilling? Through dialogue, sensory awareness, and embodied experimenting in the here and now (gestalt psychotherapy/coaching), a deeper awareness of yourself, and how to break free from your old patterns may emerge- if you are up to doing the work. Our work together will ask you to look beyond what you know, and it will challenge you to your core, to look at yourself with new eyes. The authentic engagement, and risk taking that we both will share, will be demanding at times, and at other times quite sweet- we will be relating, finding meaning, getting creative, and going beyond our perceived limits. This honest, productive, and satisfying relational contact will support your need for something different personally andor professionally. My experiences as an educator for over 10 years has shown me that children are the best at this way of being. They are totally present with what is, they question without shame, and they take responsibility when given the freedom of choice. My personal work of getting out of my head and getting back to my senses, learning to accept that slow can be fast, and that my vulnerability is my new strength, has helped me to overcome childhood trauma, addictions, mental health issues and ADHD, failed relationships, and major life and career obstacles and changes. I can hold the space for you to do the same if that is what you desire. I am an existentialist, and I have faith that we can each find our path to an authentic existence in this absurd world together, we just need support for greater awareness and contact. Reluctant to take a risk, and work with people only in my presence has taught me how my beliefs, rules, interjects, whatever you might call them, of what a therapy session "should" look like have limited my experiences and impact. Going beyond my perceived limitations, I have learned that I can see, just as well with my ears, that at times I can be even more creative, and ask different questions of you when you are not physically in my sight. These powerful insights have helped me to be open to technology, and reaching you, where ever you may be. Personally feeling like an alien at times, and wondering where are "my people" hiding on this planet, has been tough. However, by staying with my own process, I have come to some new awareness' that even if "my people" aren't in my own backyard, I can make contact. Please reach out and contact me. I will not be able to fix you, however, I will be able to support and accept you.
