Judith Paterson
Registered Social Worker -
Hi. I’m Judith and I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist providing virtual service to people living in Ontario, Canada.
I work with people experiencing a range of mental wellness issues: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, insomnia, feeling stuck, general problem solving and workplace issues such as: stress, burnout, performance issues, social anxiety, imposter syndrome, and ADHD in the workplace.
I take a structured problem solving approach to therapy that is tailored to your specific issues and goals. In the fist couple of sessions we will explore what brought you to therapy / counselling and what would need to happen for you to feel that working together is beneficial. Don’t worry, you don’t need to come prepared with any of that information! We will work on this together.
Once we have a picture of what a resolution to the issues that brought you to therapy look like, we will start defining next steps, which will likely included thinking about thinking (how understanding and working with our thoughts can help us reach our goals and positively influence our mood), and skill & coping mechanism building.
I hope you get in touch!
