Hi, I'm Marleen Filimon, an award winning* registered Psychotherapist, leading a team of therapists based out of Burlington, Ontario

A person is smiling outdoors with vibrant pink flowers and green foliage in the background, wearing a light shirt and subtle jewelry.

We work with adults that experience painful emotions and have lingering negative thoughts and images, due to: anxiety, a traumatic experience, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress, procrastination, grief, anger, depression, and peer relationships.

My Areas Of Specialization Are :

  • PTSD and Trauma
  • Anxiety and Panic
  • Stress Management
  • Emergency Responders
    (e.g. police officers, firefighters, medics and ER personnel)

In my sessions I use a combination of different therapeutic techniques such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), ACT (acceptance & commitment therapy), narrative therapy and mindfulness therapy. You set the pace, I provide the guidance.

The sessions are focused on teaching and practicing coping skills, and delving into deeper, underlying patterns of emotions and behaviors.

Together we will explore what works for you, and make a plan so you can start feeling empowered and in control of your life.
