About
Colleen Collins
Registered Psychotherapist
Registration Number 12131, College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario
In my practice, I value cultural humility and aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, anger, depression, stress, OCD, ADHD, and trauma. I also help individuals looking for sports performance and psychology support.
I am passionate about empowering others and helping individuals find strength and flexibility to manage life’s challenges. You can count on me to help you gain back control of your life. I will help you recognize your resilience, create meaningful change for your mental health, and support you through tricky brain challenges.
It is possible to live a life where obsessions are not as overwhelming, impulses feel better managed, and life is moving in a workable and enjoyable direction.
Let me help you get there!
Qualifications & Trainings
-
Cognitive-Behavioural OrientedWrite Here Clinicians working at our practice primarily operate from a cognitive-behavioral theoretical orientation that places a strong emphasis on helping clients change their relationship to difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our clinic’s emphasis on cognitive-behavioural approaches means that you can expect the therapy you receive to be practical, logical and intuitive, and provide you with clear skills, strategies, and resources that can be used in your life.
-
Goal-FocusedGoal-focused therapy lets you specify what you want to get out of therapy, allowing you and your therapist to develop a plan for getting there. Even if your goals for therapy are simply about having someone to talk to about difficult life circumstances or sorting out challenging thoughts and feelings, it is worthwhile for both you and your therapist to be clear on this. Goals also allow therapists to develop a plan that takes into account your resources and budget for therapy, ensuring we work within the financial and schedule limitations we need to. Therapists at our clinic are goal-focused and will help you both set goals, take steps towards helping you meet those goals, and continuously evaluate progress and your satisfaction with the direction of therapy.
-
Person-CentredAt our practice, our therapists use a person-centered approach that is catered to you and designed around your specific needs, goals, and life context. We do not take a ‘rinse-and-repeat’ or protocol-driven approach to therapy. Rather, based on your goals for counselling, we will co-develop a specific treatment plan with you, drawing on what we know as therapists and what you know as the expert on your own life and history.
-
Evidence-BasedPsychotherapy approaches that are considered evidence-based have been rigorously evaluated by researchers across many different studies and found to be effective in improving various psychological problems and mental health concerns. Pursuing approaches that are validated by research is an important step to ensuring that you receive a high-quality therapy plan and preventing harm that can sometimes occur when receiving treatments that are not evidence-based.
