Adjust & Grow Counselling

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, offering online tele-therapy services.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in private practice, offering individual counselling to adults 18+ online through a secure video platform.

My areas of focus include grief, loss, life transitions and the emotions, anxiety, and depression that often accompany these experiences. I view grief and loss as emotions that arise with various life events. Bereavement is often the most common experience we associate with loss. Yet, relationship changes, career loss and transition, relocation and other concerns in our lives can also bring about significant feelings of loss. I would like to help you process and work through whatever wilderness you find yourself in currently.

About Danielle Tebenche:

As someone who has navigated my own life transitions, I understand that major life changes and losses are difficult and create upheaval.

Becoming a therapist was one of my own biggest life transitions. Until 2016, I worked in university teaching and research positions. I have a Ph.D. in History and had originally hoped to be a professor or work in academia. But with full-time academic positions scarce in many fields including my own, I needed to find a different career path. But what?

For the next year or two I felt lost about what to do and also struggled to cope with losing something I had spent years building and still loved doing. I felt separated from the many colleagues and friends I had made over my years in academia. It was a confusing, scary, and lonely place which led me to seek therapy myself. For me, counselling made a significant difference in helping me to sort out my feelings and find a way forward.

I had long had an interest in mental health care with my historical research focussing on the emergence of mental health management and treatment in nineteenth-century Canada. My career transition made me fascinated with how people adapt to change especially when their experiences are difficult or painful. Together, these interests led me to training as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

After completing an M.Ed. in Counselling and Psychotherapy, in 2020, I became a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I began my private practice in 2021.

A 15-minute no-cost consultation with me can be the beginning of finding a way forward in whatever challenge you find yourself presently. Please feel free to reach out by phone, email or booking via my website https://adjustgrow.ca. I look forward to speaking with you.
