PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR WOMEN

●  VAUGHAN AND ONTARIO

Therapy for the woman you are becoming.

I'm Carm Pileggi, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I support women carrying trauma, relationship patterns, grief and the weight of caring for everyone else. Every session is tailored to you, your story, your goals and your pace.

IS THIS YOU?

You might be here because

from the outside, everything looks fine, but inside you keep asking:

“Why do I keep doing this?”

“Everything seems fine… so why don’t I feel fine?”

If any of these sound familiar, a free consultation is a low-pressure way to see if we're the right fit.

Wherever you are on the path, I'll meet you there.

●  You    ✦  Carm

Holding it all together

You're the one everyone leans on, at work, at home and in your family. You're exhausted, but slowing down doesn't feel like an option.

The same relationship patterns

Anxious, avoidant or somewhere in between, you keep ending up in dynamics that feel familiar, and you want to understand why.

Caring for a parent

You're caring for an aging parent, or you grew up as the responsible one, and your own needs have been on hold for years.

A loss that still sits with you

A parent, a friend, your health or the future you pictured. Even years later, the grief shows up when you least expect it.

Stuck in survival mode

Your body stays on high alert even when life is calm: trouble sleeping, snapping at people, shutting down or always on edge.

Saying yes when you mean no

People-pleasing, guilt and blurry boundaries leave you drained, resentful or unsure of what you actually want.

AREAS OF FOCUS

What we can work on together

Therapy tailored to YOU

I tailor therapy to each client, blending IFS-informed parts work, psychodynamic, narrative, CBT and DBT approaches with mindfulness and somatic work to fit your story, your goals and your pace.

Childhood, relational and medical trauma, and how it shows up now in your body, your reactions and your relationships.

Anxious and avoidant patterns, people-pleasing and boundaries, and the dynamics you learned long before this relationship.

Losing a parent, a friend or the life you planned, including losses that came early and were never fully grieved.

Caring for aging parents, or having grown up as the responsible one, and finally making room for your own needs.
