Julie Butler

Julie Butler

Registered Psychotherapist

I am a graduate of Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program. Registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I also have membership in the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I serve as Coordinator of the Association for NPD/Psychopathy Survivor Treatment, Research & Education, which focuses on this sub-specialty of domestic abuse and trauma therapy. I am trained in Brainspotting and EMDR, and employ CBT and DBT in my eclectic, person-centred approach toward treating an individual, adult clientele.

I believe that the pain that often precipitates therapy can be an invitation to develop self-awareness, self-compassion and skills to grow past our struggles, to become stronger and happier. As both a psychotherapist and facilitator of therapeutic art workshops, I share my passion for connecting people with meaningful engagement and rich learning opportunities, to enable their personal growth.

Kevin Peltier

Kevin Peltier

Registered Psychotherapist

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and graduate of Yorkville University’s Masters in Counselling Psychology program. Prior to this, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Windsor and later completed an advanced diploma program in Behavioural Science Technology at George Brown College in Toronto. While completing the latter program, I worked closely with individuals living with traumatic and acquired brain injuries, as well as with individuals facing charges under the criminal code and residing in a psychiatric hospital setting. Following completion of this program, I spent time working with teenagers and young adults with autism in a learning to live program that focused on teaching essential life skills and fostering community engagement. After moving back home to Windsor, I began volunteering with Victim Services of Windsor and Essex County, whose primary focus is on the provision of emotional and practical support to victims of crime and tragedy.

I primarily use a therapeutic approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps you to develop increased self-awareness, manage the problems that are impacting your life, and cultivate the skills and motivation to make positive and lasting changes. Additionally, I utilize a trauma-focused therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, OCD, grief, anxiety and depression. I will focus on creating a safe environment for you that is characterized by a strong working alliance and a collaborative stance for creating unique treatment plans tailored to your individual needs. I firmly believe that every person has the inherent ability to bring about positive changes in their lives and that it is my duty to help you to unlock this potential. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that is aligned with your goals and works best for you.

Stef Maxim

Registered Psychotherapist

Reinvention takes time, but it’s worth it. After spending almost 20 years as an art director working in the advertising world, I realized it was time to make a career change. As exciting as advertising can be, it’s known to be a high-pressure environment where individuals are prone to a disproportionate amount of burnout, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and a myriad of interpersonal struggles; all of which I had firsthand experience with. Although it was a process that took years, I intentionally slowed down, turned inwards, and reconnected with myself by helping others.

I know what it is to experience failure, transition, and loss (both death and non-death grief) and I have a special connection with those who are struggling with similar issues. I believe that anyone can have a better life when they feel safe, understood, and validated. As a curious and compassionate listener, I use an integrative approach to therapy where each person’s particular challenges inform how we will work together. I’ve found that looking at the stories we tell ourselves and finding a new narrative is vital to making real change and achieving our goals. I am confident that my life experience, education, ongoing training, humour, and ability to quickly connect with others will offer you strong support during your time of need.

Emily Ehrlich

Emily Ehrlich

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

I earned my Bachelor’s in Developmental Psychology at the University of Windsor and Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. During my Bachelor’s Degree, I spent a lot of time working with children who have autism and have engaged in a variety of individual and urban communities within the Windsor-Essex County area through volunteering and employment with the primary focus being on individual growth and wellbeing. Since then, my time has been prioritized in conducting and administering psychometric measures to qualitatively and quantitatively understand how pathology has impacted overall functioning across adult populations.

In my current supervised practice, I have a strong interest in helping adult clients mitigate challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trust issues, meaning-making, loss of purpose, stress reduction, and somatic complaints, using an eclectic approach of modalities to better suit the needs of each person—specifically, cognitive, psychodynamic and humanistic theories. Being passionate about helping people recognize their potential, navigating their lives, and thriving in their environments, I have the intention to pursue a PsyD in clinical psychology at Michigan University to further my understanding and knowledge to eventually work as a sex therapist, marriage and couple’s counsellor.

Reaching out for help is not always easy, much less being vulnerable. Creating a space of comfort, where you feel accepted and understood, is imperative to me. I believe in a collaborative and person-centered approach where we work together to create a plan fitted to your strengths, struggles, and needs. I believe in a person’s ability to rewrite their own life story with self-compassion, courage, and social support.

I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment while offering empathy and validation to all people. As a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community myself, I have a special interest in helping individuals who are struggling to discover or find acceptance with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and from many different cultural backgrounds. My approach is centered around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), aimed at encouraging self-reflection so you can explore how thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes influence your feelings and actions.

I am a graduate of Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program and I completed my Bachelor of Social Sciences with a minor in Psychology from the University of Ottawa. I am a Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and I have membership with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
