Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Do you feel like anxiety is holding you back? Are you stuck in the cycle of self-doubt? It’s okay to feel this way, and you are not alone. As a therapist who specializes in working with children, teens and young adults, I understand some of the unique challenges you face. I’m here to help you navigate life challenges and find a path forward that feels right for you. Together, we'll work through any anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, or decision-making challenges you are facing. Let's work together to help you feel more confident, empowered, and in control of your life.

I am intentional about offering a warm and non-judgemental space for individuals to share their concerns in a safe environment. I will collaborate with you in your healing journey and tailor therapy in a way that makes sense to you. My practice includes using components from evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

You don't have to suffer alone. What if all your "shit" - your anxieties, worries and fears - was also the key to you getting better? Therapy with me, is a chance to understand your complicated feelings, emotions and desires and discover how to make choices that work for you. You can move from being disconnected, alienated and alone to being active, lively and engaged with the world.

In psychotherapy, as in life, we grow through relationship. Our sense of self emerges in meeting the other. I offer a safe and stimulating environment in which to experience your patterns of relating, explore how you make meaning, and experiment with new ways of being.

My ideal clients are challenged with depression, anxiety, anger issues, illness and stress. Their goal is to relieve their symptoms so that they can live a more fulfilled life.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and is rooted in the belief that longstanding difficulties in our relationships with ourselves and others have their origins in our early developmental experiences. I specialize in addressing a spectrum of issues including abandonment anxiety, perfectionism, conflicts about dependency, difficulty in opening up to others, boundary-setting dilemmas, feeling stuck in unsatisfying relationship patterns, and excessive self-criticism. I will work in collaboration with you towards co-constructing a coherent narrative of your past, present experiences, and fears and aspirations for your future.

Hello, I’m Becka, a social worker and therapist working virtually (Weekdays 7-9:30) and in-person (Sundays 8-4) at Toronto's College & Bathurst intersection. $65-150/session. I work mostly with clients looking to address food and body issues, mood/anxiety disorders, and trauma, but I am trained in a wide variety of therapies that can address a broad spectrum of concerns. Whether through talk therapy, yoga, mindfulness practices, or creative expression, our sessions will be tailored to support your unique path to healing. I am proud to support and affirm queer and trans, BIPOC, neurodiverse, disabled, and plus/fat clients.

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

I am a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist and I welcome you with a willingness to learn more about whatever might be holding you back in life or your relationship(s). My approach to therapy is client-centred and collaborative. I strive to explore solutions that work in your environment. I am a South Asian, gay/queer, cisgender man, immigrant/settler, & I have extensive experience working with heterosexual & queer/2SLGBTQ+ individuals & couples.

I have 15 years of experience providing direct support to adults, children and families of all ethnicities, race, religion, genders, sexual orientations and abilities. I rely on a Relational approach, whereby I focus on building a trusting relationship as our foundation so that we can move through your challenges safely. The focus of our work can range from seeking to generally improve your mental health, manage anxiety, depression, help with work-related challenges, relationship issues, or trying to overcome unexpected life stressors.

My approach is focused on helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you face. In our sessions, you’ll have the space to reflect on your relationships, values, and what truly matters to you. As we work together, you’ll explore different perspectives and consider new choices. We’ll navigate challenges and move toward your goals together.

I am passionate about working with you to achieve your goals. We will work in collaboration to decide what treatment plan suits your life, and to help you feel more empowered. My approach is trauma-informed, which means I will work with you to understand the roots of your difficulties, challenges, and struggles for you to be able to design and create a better future for yourself, and your family.

To all who feel confused or stuck, or who struggle with emotional regulation, relationship issues, or internal wounds: I welcome you. I have helped my clients to learn coping tools for anxiety and depression, to better manage ADHD, and to process childhood trauma and relational wounds, enabling them to be more self-aware and confident in facing and embracing life’s challenges and transitions. To facilitate these improvements, I use a variety of modalities that are evidence-based and trauma-informed, including psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution-focused, and emotionally-focused approaches, adapted to best meet my clients’ needs.

I am committed to building a relationship that supports your unique needs, develops your strengths and fosters your innate ability to heal. Often, we aren’t afforded the time, opportunity or privilege to learn the most beneficial ways to sift through what comes our way. We tackle things as best we can using strategies learned from previous experiences. In some situations, our default strategies end up taking us further away from what we want. This can prevent us from fulfilling our needs - we may get stuck not knowing how to cope or how to move forward. I primarily use non talk-therapy modules of Structural Dissociation, EMDR, DBR.

Accepting New Clients! I understand from my own experiences how comforting it is to find someone who can connect with and genuinely help your child navigate the challenges and stresses they face daily. Whether your child is grappling with several issues, overwhelmed by a significant event, or anything in between, I'm here to offer support. Together, we can help transform your child’s struggles. No challenge is too big or too small—I’m dedicated to assisting your child in finding their path and ensuring they no longer feel held back. Let’s work together to guide your child through their journey to confidence and resilience.

How do you find hope? You're an incredibly self-aware and open individual, constantly striving to be your best self. However, it's clear that self-doubt and self-criticism can be challenging obstacles for you at times. You might feel overwhelmed, despite your best efforts, weighed down by negative thoughts, recurring patterns, and past wounds. You've been trying to make changes, but it seems like you're at a standstill, unsure of how to move forward.

Whether you are looking to address a specific stressor/distressing situation, improve mood/mental health generally, build healthier relationships/break unhealthy patterns, develop skills to manage difficult thoughts/emotions, improve your relationship with yourself (ie: self-esteem and core beliefs work), or better understand how historical experiences may be impacting you in the present-day, engaging in a therapeutic process can help. I am trained in a wide range of therapy interventions to support your counselling needs. My goal is make the counselling experience feel meaningful, productive, and comfortable for you.

As a Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Qualified Mindfulness Instructor, I work with you to help you make sense of your own life experiences, understand how your past affects you now, and make positive changes. Mindfulness is an integral part of my personal and professional life. Since 2009 I have studied the intersection of Buddhism and Psychology and I have partnered with several government and public institutions to run accessible mindfulness programs (including MBSR) for staff and students (i.e. Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, UofT, Central LHIN, The Princess Margaret).

Hello! I'm Matthew (he/him). I offer free consultations and 50-minute appointments for psychotherapy. We can go so much farther when we travel together. Please let me have the honour of joining you.
