Gillian Strange-Dell, is a Registered Psychotherapist working with a diverse client base, but specializes in adults with anxiety; a history of physical or sexual abuse; and Highly Sensitive Personality type. Other issues worked with in her general practice include depression, insomnia, eating disorders, anger management, workplace or parental stress, grief and relationship difficulties. She has a client-centred, holistic view that treats each person as a whole, mind and body. As a result, she uses bodywork in her practice in the form of visualizations, meditation, and light touch massage for emotional relaxation. Where we feel pain and distress in the mind we also hold that feeling in the body. Working with each client respectfully from their basic needs is the goal of every session.

I offer virtual therapy for teens and young adults across Oshawa, Durham Region, and Ontario. I specialize in anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity concerns, school stress, and family conflict. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or constant self-doubt. Therapy with me is a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space where you can speak openly without judgment. Together, we work on building confidence, setting healthier boundaries, managing emotions, and developing practical coping strategies for everyday life. I draw from strength-based, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches to support meaningful, lasting change. Services are offered virtually, making therapy accessible for busy students and families across Ontario. If you’re ready to feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life, I’d be honoured to support you.
