See the Hope Beyond the Chaos
Providing counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, youth, and couples in Cannington, Durham Region, and virtually across Ontario.
Welcome to New Directions Therapy!
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with difficult emotions, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, or major life changes. Therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down, understand what you're experiencing, and begin moving toward meaningful change.
I'm Sarah Williams, a Registered Psychotherapist providing individual, youth, and couples therapy in Cannington, Ontario, and virtually across Ontario. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what you're going through and work toward a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
I take a person-centred approach and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to tailor therapy to your individual needs and goals.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it all out on your own.
Services We Offer
Grief and Loss
Grief can affect every part of your life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process your emotions and find ways to move forward while honouring what you've lost.
Youth Counselling
Growing up can come with challenges that can feel difficult to navigate alone. Youth counselling provides a supportive space to work through anxiety, difficult emotions, relationships, school, family changes, and self-esteem.
Addictions Counselling
Changing your relationship with substances or other addictive behaviours can be difficult. Therapy can help you understand the patterns behind these behaviours, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Trauma Counselling
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, think, and relate to yourself and others. Trauma-informed therapy provides a safe space to understand these experiences, work through their impact, and develop healthier ways of coping.
Other Areas I Can Help With
Therapy can also support you through anxiety, relationship challenges, separation and divorce, anger, life transitions, and other challenges. If you're not sure whether therapy is right for what you're experiencing, you're welcome to reach out for a free consultation.
