www.stephmoncada.com I carry an appreciation and sensitivity for life’s challenges, and my goal is to create trust and safety into our therapy sessions.

I received my Master of Counselling Psychology (MA) from Yorkville University and I am a Registered Psy

chotherapist and in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. I have training and certification in the following areas: • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy • Interpersonal Psychoherapy • Cybercounselling • Mindfulness • Mental Health First Aid I have been working in mental health field since 2013. This includes work as a Therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum, Psychological Testing, Psychotherapy Intern at Pinewood Centre for Addictions & Mental Health, and a Psychotherapist at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences in the Anxiety & Mood Disorders Clinic.

My practice is collaborative, and draws upon a number of evidenced-based treatment modalities, including solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy and mindfulness practices.

I recognize the power of teaching people how to stay present through the practice of mindfulness, helping clients to gain new skills and ideas.

My past clinical work has been based in a hospital setting, with a focus on the treatment of addiction and mental health related concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and eating disorders.

I now specialize in women’s mental health specifically supporting women in the areas of:
Body Image
Disordered Eating
Anxiety/Depression
Perinatal/Post- Partum Mood Disorders
Self-Esteem/ Confidence
Parenting/ Role Transitions
Stress/Burnout
Pregnancy/Infant Loss

I believe that therapy can be an important part of self-care, and that therapy plays a pivotal role in overcoming challenges in areas where individuals feel stuck.

There are moments where you feel okay in your body, neutral. Maybe even good.

And then something shifts. The sensations increase, the thoughts build up.

That shift matters.

Because it tells us:
👉 this isn’t permanent
👉 this isn’t your identity
👉 this isn’t the truth about your body

It’s a state. A shift into dysregulation.
And states can change. They aren't permanent, or fixed.

When you start to understand what drives those shifts, you stop feeling stuck in them.

✨ This is exactly the kind of awareness we build inside The Nourished Self — so body image stops feeling so unpredictable and overwhelming.

Because when you build awareness, and learn to notice, you can empower yourself to embrace the shifts.

Most women come to me thinking they need to “fix” themselves.

The truth? Your body is actually incredibly wise. That feeling of being “on edge” or “too much” is often just a nervous system that hasn’t found its way back to safety yet.

In my work with women in various life stages, we focus on Somatic Regulation.

Try this 1% shift today:

Next time you feel like you’re running in place, with life picking up:
1️⃣ Exhale longer than you inhale.
2️⃣ Name one thing your body is doing right in this moment.
3️⃣ Give yourself permission to do one task at 70% effort.

Healing happens in the small, regulated moments.

If you’re a woman who feels like life is just one long treadmill of "to-dos," "shoulds," and "what-ifs," I see you.

Whether it’s:
🧠 The constant noise of ADHD brain.
🤰 The heavy fog of postpartum/perinatal transitions.
🚫 Or the cycle of chronic dieting that leaves you feeling "never enough."

Healing isn't about running faster or doing more. It’s about learning how to stay present in your own body while life keeps moving.

I help women navigate these transitions by bridging the gap between mind and body wellness. You don't have to stay stuck on the cycle of burnout.

I’m fine" usually means your nervous system is working overtime to keep it together

✨If you’ve ever felt a wave of shame about your body or a flash of panic during a conversation, you know that "just breathing" isn't always enough.

In my office, we don't just talk about the struggle—we give your body a way out of it.

Trauma-informed care isn't just a clinical term.

To me, it looks like:
🧶 Having a weighted blanket nearby when the conversation gets heavy.
🍬 Using candy to "reset" when your brain starts to spiral.
🧘‍♀️ Learning that your "anxiety" is often just a body that doesn't feel safe yet.

One of my favourite moments is seeing a client realize she can calm that internal "noise" around her changing body and finally show up for her partner and herself without the overwhelm.

Whether you’re 15, 35, or 65—you deserve to feel at home in your skin.

That sudden urge you feel to diet, restrict your food, "get back on track" and fix your body immediately...

Pause there. Right there. No action, not what next. Just a simple pause.

Notice, feel that urgency without fixing or creating a solution.

That urgency isn’t clarity. It’s activation.

It’s your nervous system trying to create control in a moment that feels uncomfortable or unsafe. It's trying to fast forward this pain to the next moment.

The problem is — reacting to that urgency keeps the cycle going. The solution focused, is creating disconnection from emotion.

The shift happens when you slow it down instead. When you get curious instead of reactive. When you respond instead of restrict. When you learn to build capacity to feel that emotion, that urgency, that pain.

So next time you feel it, just slow down and pause. No next step, just a pause and a deep exhale.

04/16/2026

If you feel “out of control” around food, it’s not a discipline problem.

It’s actually a regulation problem, you're body is feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and often perceiving things as a "threat."

When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your cravings increase (hello self-soothing), urgency increases (fight/flight response), control decreases (anxiety amplifies).

Your body isn’t failing you.
It’s trying to help you cope.

This is why willpower alone doesn’t work long-term.

You don’t need more control.
You need more support.

✨ Inside The Nourished Self, we focus on understanding these patterns so you can finally step out of the cycle — without shame.

04/12/2026

You can feel confident in your body one day…
and pick yourself apart the next.

Same body. Different experience.

That’s because body image isn’t fixed — it’s state-dependent.

It shifts with:

stress
sleep
hormones
emotional load

Which means:
👉 your thoughts about your body aren’t always telling the truth
👉 they’re reflecting how your system feels

Learning to recognize this can change everything.

Because instead of spiraling, you can pause.

And instead of reacting, you can respond.

04/06/2026

You didn’t wake up uglier today.

But something did change.

Maybe you’re:

more stressed
more tired
overwhelmed
emotionally stretched

And suddenly your body feels like the problem.

Body image isn’t just about your body.
It’s deeply connected to your emotional state and nervous system.

On the days your system feels less safe, your mind looks for something to control — and often, that becomes your body.

Instead of asking:
“How do I fix this?”

Try asking:
“What’s going on inside me right now?”

That’s where the shift begins.

✨ This is a big part of the work inside The Nourished Self — learning how to respond to these moments instead of reacting to them.
