Family Therapy in Toronto, ON

You’re feeling overwhelmed and you’re not sure what’s wrong. You're having a hard time feeling settled and you feel stuck. You can't shake the feeling that something is missing. It must feel hard to admit that you’re not looking forward to anything. I know how unsettling that must feel. Using compassion and a non-judgmental approach, I help clients slow down and explore the discomfort. I know it's easy to ignore this feeling but you know this is causing you anxiety and seeping into all parts of your life. I can help.

Accepting new clients. If you are a woman from a cultural group that silenced emotions, you may feel isolated, lost or shame around your experiences. Being told to keep silent. Growing up in a chaotic home. You may have been body-shamed. Or experienced trauma that your culture may overlook. You may have depression that can't be talked about with your loved ones. You may experience stress with eating, your health, body or career. Or perhaps even able to pinpoint WHERE your distress is coming from! I'd love to help you explore, label, and resolve what you're going through.

My ideal client is someone who is navigating the complex layers of identity, relationships, and family dynamics. They need a safe space to explore, seeking validation, acceptance, and guidance in forming authentic connections. Their goals include self-acceptance, empowerment, and authentic relationships. They want to be seen and respected for who they are, aiming for confidence, happiness, and fulfillment. By addressing their challenges, validating their experiences, and empowering them to make choices aligned with their truth, they can embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment.

Hey! I’m Joanna, or Jo, for short; pronouns she/they. I value authenticity, mutual respect, and self-agency, working collaboratively with clients. I draw from my lived experiences as a co-parent, Filipino immigrant to Canada, queer, neurodivergent, and in trauma recovery. With a background in Christian Theology and leanings towards Buddhist Philosophy, I believe spirituality is personal. I am passionate about helping my clients find meaning, live according to their values, and thrive in relationships.

My passion for helping others is what led me to the field of addictions and psychotherapy. I am an Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counsellor (ICADC) and registered psychotherapist (RP), educated in Criminology at the University of Ottawa and Addiction Education at McMaster University where I completed an Addiction Studies Certificate and an Addiction Care Worker Diploma. I have been working in the field of addictions and mental health for 13 years. I deliver client-centred and holistic therapy in order to best meet my clients needs and address the root causes of their issues.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

Are you hoping to rebuild relationships, or do you need assistance in recovering from relationship breakdown? Maybe you are trying to navigate complicated family dynamics, strained peer or workplace relationships and you are not sure how to move forward. Are you experiencing anxiety, stress/burnout and want to develop coping strategies to help life feel more manageable? Have you experienced trauma and realize that it is impacting your daily functioning? We can explore past trauma in order to connect your past experiences to your present-day functioning so that you can improve your overall wellbeing and live the life you desire.

I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to address your concerns. I have supported people who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma and concerns around work and relationships. Together we will identify your goals for the sessions and work towards supporting you with coping tools and providing a space to unpack your concern.

Life can be tough, especially if you're feeling stuck, alone, stressed, disconnected, burnt out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on the difficulties that you are facing, and you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I offer individual adult and youth psychotherapy. If you or your teen are experiencing difficulty in relationships, anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, low self-esteem, difficulties with parenting or family dynamics, or if you want to develop emotional insight and regulation skills, I am here to provide guidance and support.

When you pick up the phone to start therapy, you are halfway there. The initial call can be the hardest one. Low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anger, grief, loss, trauma, family dynamics -- these are all issues we can work through together. I integrate empathy, theory, skills, and knowledge obtained through years of experience into an intuitive therapy process. While I provide a solid, well-structured treatment plan, I am open to a variety of techniques that will help ensure that your experience is a success.

Experiencing sadness, worry, or distress? Are past traumas impacting your present? Feeling "different"? Is it hard to navigate the world socially? These are some of the mental health, identity, and social concerns that can impact individuals and their families, impeding wellbeing. I provide psychotherapy and assessments to assist with a range of issues including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, abuse, attachment concerns, anger, autism spectrum disorder, learning/attention issues, addictions, family functioning problems/transitions (e.g., divorce, adoption) etc. I also have unique training and experience supporting gender/sexual identity-related exploration, coming out, and/or transition/surgery readiness assessments.

I support parents in various relationships who are struggling when it comes to shared parenting. Helping others to facilitate positive co-parenting is a skill that CAN be acquired. I believe in the power of therapy and in empowering people to be the best versions of themselves within a relationship. Parents look for creative ways to solve problems while at the same time supporting a safe place to have hard conversations. Using the conflict resolution approach helps to minimize conflict and achieve greater balance and functioning within the family. Parents need processes that are realistic, obtainable and can be maintained.

It's a privilege to walk alongside people as they struggle on the journey of life. I have experience helping individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, family conflict, self harm, grief, abuse, life transitions and spiritual issues. I have a special passion for working with men who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

For the past 15 years I have worked with youth and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict, whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. In addition, I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

Talk therapy, you might be surprised where it can take you. Assisting individuals, couples and families facing many different challenges, I offer both brief and longer-term therapy.

Imagine if your relationships could be a source of joy & comfort, rather than stress & heartache. What a relief that would be. I can help you get there.

Maybe you're having difficulty relating to family members or friends - unresolved tension with parents, conflict with your kids, or feeling like you can't be your self around others. Perhaps you're feeling stressed out, anxious, lonely, and you want to stop being so hard on yourself.
