Black youth face many barriers accessing timely mental health supports. Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario and Malton Neighbourhood Services is taking the initiative to make psychotherapy more accessible to the youth of Malton!
Thanks to this initiative, we are able to offer Virtual, Barrier-Free Mental Health Counselling for Black Youth (12-25 years old) residing in Malton.
Introducing a joint collaboration between Roadside Therapies and A Better Choice Counselling. Together they unite to provide compassionate, responsive, and culturally competent care. We invite youth, or families, to reach out to one of the caring professionals below, to discuss how they can support your mental health and wellness journey.
Choosing Roadside Therapies is not just about therapy; it's an investment in a journey marked by authenticity, humour, change and impactful experiences. This is your life, and you're steering the ship. I'm here to support and guide, not to dictate. Together, we'll ensure your decisions align with your values, paving the way to a more fulfilling life.

I will provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack, examine, explore, discover, learn, strengthen, and and grow wise. Be prepared to be amazed by your capacity to lead, to be brave, to show courage, and to soar to new heights! On-y va ....To the journey!

The one constant in life is change! While this is true for all, it is especially true for youth whose minds and bodies are in a constant state of flux. I understand that while some changes are exciting and welcomed, some changes will be difficult, disappointing, or even downright devastating. People (of all ages) sometimes find it difficult to come to terms with an undesired change or an unexpected loss. Sometimes actions and situations deeply wound us in ways that makes it difficult to share our thoughts and feelings with friends and family. Rest assured, whatever change, challenge, or circumstance you are facing - help is available. Let's connect and work together to achieve your goals!
Feeling unsure? Believe me, I understand that the prospect of opening up to a stranger might seem scary. It's natural to be a little apprehensive, but hopefully knowing a little bit about me will prove reassuring. I'm Awesome (yeah, that's a Mr. D reference). In session I use plain language. I welcome art, poetry, music, and laughter into the session. I’m passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges, and I’ve helped many people recognize and harness their inner strength, build resilience, learn to respect, love, and appreciate themselves, explore their purpose and find meaning in their lives, dare to dream, fulfill personal goals, and overcome obstacles (small and large). As a social work psychotherapist, I recognize the, often insidious, impact of systems and have great respect for the role psychosocial factors play in fostering health and wellness. So, know that you don't need to have a "diagnosis" to be taken seriously, if it bothers you, that’s enough! I will encourage you to use your session to explore what matters to you - beit: academic, financial, housing, legal, interpersonal, relational, or psychological. Rest assured, with me, you have a safe space to reflect, learn, and grow. Let's boldly explore life without self-limiting beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns.
