Johanna Bakker MACP, BA Psych

Registered Psychotherapist (#10694)

I am a registered psychotherapist and I specialize in individual counselling and couples counselling for those struggling with various inter/intrapersonal issues.

I work from an eclectic approach, integrating aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy, emotion focused therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. These approaches mean I see my clients, not as a diagnosis, but as individuals with complex life stories who require a treatment plan designed with their specific needs and experiences in mind.

Together, we can work towards improving your current and future life satisfaction and exploring your problems that are rooted in the past. If you are struggling with your mental health and are looking for someone to turn to as you begin your journey, reach out today.

Everyone has difficult moments in their life that may include feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, grief or trauma. Reaching out is the first step in feeling better and moving towards personal growth and development. I am privileged to journey with individuals who have the desire to improve their emotional states and work towards becoming the best version of themselves.

I specialize in individual therapy with those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and stress. I also support clients with life challenges, such as interpersonal relationships, self-esteem and emotion regulation. 

The relationship between client and therapist is the most important thing to me. My priority is to hold a safe and confidential space. I use a combination of approaches to best accommodate your needs. I integrate Psychodynamic, CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Inner Child Healing.

It can be difficult taking these first steps and finding the right therapist for you, and I hope that I can make this challenge as comfortable as possible. I would love to hear from you and to see how I can help. Email or call me for a free consultation.

Registered Psychotherapist (#12264)

As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand that life can look different for each of us. My therapeutic process is built on the belief that every individual deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered. Whether you’re a child navigating big emotions, a teen coping with transitions, or an adult managing stress, anxiety, or trauma, there is support to help get through it.

I specialize in working with individuals of all ages to help foster emotion regulation skills, build resilience, gain clarity, and self-mastery. I use an integrative approach to therapy stemming from various evidence-based modalities such as DBT, CBT, SFBT, and ACT. This allows our work together to be flexible and collaborative, designed to meet you where you are and help you reach your goals.

No matter where you are on your journey, I am committed to helping you thrive in a way that aligns with your unique needs and strengths. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can grow, heal, and embrace your true potential. If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, let’s connect and discuss it together.
