Counselling and Psychotherapy in Barrie and across Ontario (In-Person & On-line)

Welcome to Balanced Life Therapy, where you’ll find a warm, collaborative, and adaptable approach to better serve our clientele using a team approach. If you’re looking for a therapist who takes the time to understand your story and works with you in a way that fits your needs, you’re in the right place. Our goal is to create a safe, nonjudgemental, respectful space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood.

Therapy can offer practical support for thoughtful, self-aware, and caring people who are carrying emotional stress, difficult relationships, or the strain of supporting others who are not ready or willing to get help. With approaches like DBT and EMDR, therapy can help strengthen mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, while also creating space to process painful experiences, build self-compassion, set healthy boundaries, and respond with greater clarity, calm, and confidence.

What makes BLT different is our commitment to personalized care. We know there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing, so we work with you to find an approach that feels right for your goals, your pace, and your comfort level. Whether you prefer individual counseling, Gottman couples counseling, grief and PTSD counselling, teen counselling, family counselling or family separation/divorce mediation, psychotherapy, EMDR, DBT, depression counselling, anxiety therapy, trauma informed therapy, group therapy, or online therapy, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
