Hi, I’m Cierra Docouto, a Registered Psychotherapist offering virtual therapy across Ontario and in-person therapy in Burlington, Ontario.

I work with individuals who struggle with people-pleasing, overthinking, anxiety in relationships, and difficulty expressing their needs. Many clients describe feeling emotionally drained in relationships, stuck in cycles of overgiving, or unsure of who they are outside of keeping others happy.

At the core of these experiences is often a pattern of self-abandonment, where your needs, boundaries, and inner voice get pushed aside in order to maintain connection, avoid conflict, or feel accepted. Over time, this can impact your self-esteem, increase anxiety, and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself in relationships.

In therapy, we can work together to understand and gently shift these patterns. This includes exploring where they come from, how they show up in your current relationships, and what keeps them going even when you logically know something needs to change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you build self-trust, emotional clarity, and healthier relational patterns.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin creating lasting change in how you relate to yourself and others.

Free 20-minute consultations are available. You can book online, or reach out directly at guidingyoutherapy@gmail.com. Learn more at www.guidingyoutherapy.com.
