​​
Connie is the founder and owner of Connie Maria Psychotherapy, offering virtual and telephone therapy across Ontario for teens (aged 16 and older), adults and seniors. With over 16 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and advanced training as a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist, she provides compassionate, evidence-based care to support clients in navigating life’s challenges and improving their mental health.
​
She offers therapy for a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, pet loss, work-related challenges, anger management and chronic illness. She has a strong interest in supporting individuals living with chronic illness or adjusting to a new health diagnosis, recognizing the profound emotional and psychological impact these experiences can have.
She is also knowledgeable in women’s health, and has a strong understanding of dysautonomia, autoimmune conditions and other complex chronic health issues. She works collaboratively with each client to develop a personalized plan of care that reflects their unique needs, goals and lived experience.
Her therapeutic approach integrates a range of evidence-based modalities, including:
​​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Supports clients in identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
​
​​Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Helps build skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance.
​
Motivational Interviewing (MI): A collaborative, goal-oriented style of therapy that enhances motivation and commitment to change.
​
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps clients understand and integrate different parts of themselves to foster healing and inner harmony.
​
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): A short-term, goal-directed approach that emphasizes strengths and solutions, rather than problems.
Connie is committed to ongoing professional development. She provides a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome.
