I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.

Do you suffer from unwanted OCD thoughts and anxiety? Do you worry about bad things happening to you or those you love? Maybe you are having thoughts that you have harmed someone or may harm someone in the future. Perhaps you fear that you will become contaminated or that you will be responsible for a tragedy. Do you wash your hands excessively or check things like door locks or the stove? Or do you avoid things like knives, public restrooms, or anything that might trigger your fearful thoughts? Do you find that your OCD is interfering with your relationships?

If you find yourself navigating the complexities of adulthood, carrying the weight of childhood experiences, you're not alone. These impacts may surface in your current relationships, self-esteem, or the anxiety you face amidst life's stressors and transitions. This journey, while challenging, doesn't have to be walked alone. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we provide approachable, high-quality therapy, accessible virtually across Ontario, where your experiences are heard and understood – a place where healing begins with connection.

Our comprehensive DBT program is committed to providing compassionate & effective treatment for individuals who may experience intense emotions (such as anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt), impulsive behaviours (such as self-harm, suicide, stealing, substance use, risky behaviours), & stormy relationships (which could look like switching between pushing people away & clinging to them, challenges with saying no). We also offer trauma treatment through Prolonged Exposure-DBT and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) because many of the current day experiences, emotions & views of the world, are based on previous experiences.

My name is Alex Zebeljan and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I offer individual and couples therapy virtually. As a therapist, my goal is that you feel seen, heard, and valued regardless of your sexuality, gender, ethnicity and beliefs. During each session, I endeavour to create a virtual space wherein you can discover and be your most authentic self. When working with clients, I value collaboration and incorporating culturally respectful techniques into my work. You are the expert on what you need and want and I can help you get there, whatever that end result might look like for you.

Managing intense emotions, impulsive behaviours, and relationships can be a challenge. My practice is rooted in dialectical behaviour therapy and prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD and underpinned by the belief that self-acceptance is the key to lasting change. To nurture acceptance, I foster a therapeutic environment that is validating, warm, nonjudgmental, and authentic.

I have been a psychotherapist for 40 years specializing in a variety of issues including child and adult trauma, sexuality, relationships, anxiety, and depression. My approach is highly empathic, encouraging, and practical. I go between understanding how your difficulties developed by talking about your history and exploring what you may be able to do in the present to feel better. I'm very tuned in and present and usually understand pretty quickly what is going on for you. I offer a lot of compassion and feedback to help you move forward. You are not alone with me.

My name is Em Yule and I am a non-binary, queer and neurodivergent psychotherapist (RP Qualifying). It has been a goal of mine to provide affirming care to LGBTQIA+ folks through holding a safe space for folks to explore their experiences and emotions, free of assumptions that a cisgender identity and heterosexuality are the ‘norm’. To provide neurodivergent-affirming care, I am committed to holding a space that both celebrates your unique brain and affirms the unique challenges you may face, without assumption that your neurodivergence is something that needs to be ‘fixed’.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Asking for support is a vulnerable and courageous act. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or out of touch with yourself. Or perhaps, you are struggling in your relationships or being held back by issues from the past. Whatever your reason for reaching out, therapy can help you move from feeling stuck to feeling more clear, connected, confident and courageous in your life. Our work together will help you to discover your healing path and offer you a therapeutic relationship that you can rely on to support, inspire and guide you.

Genuine, non-judgemental, and empathetic by nature, I am passionate about helping people navigate some of life’s most difficult struggles. My passion for psychotherapy stems from witnessing our resiliency when given the proper support and a safe place to heal. In my practice, I meet clients where they're at and aim to walk alongside them as a supportive guide in their therapeutic journey. For some, therapy is about healing past trauma or working through emotionally turbulent times; for others, it's about finding closure, self discovery, or confiding in someone unrelated to their circumstance.

Years ago, at a health consultation, I was asked a trauma related question that caused me to reflect on the connection of the mind and body. It completely confounded me yet, it stayed with me. As soon as I returned home I opened my laptop and began to research trauma and the body. And, what I found led to my realization of the significance of an embodied approach to healing. It also began my journey into the field of psychotherapy.

My clients are individuals and couples seeking practical skills to improve communication, practice boundary setting, or working toward a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. My clients are diverse in race, religion, sexuality, age, and gender expression. My clients are people interested in learning more about themselves and how their worldview has been shaped.

At times fife can be a struggle; it's part of the journey of being human. Are you feeling stressed and thinking about seeking psychotherapy? I am a Toronto, Ontario psychologist with 25 years of experience, with a clinical focus on adults, university students, adolescents and families. I offer psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, grief & bereavement, fertility issues, pregnancy, post-partum, parenting issues, high achieving perfectionistic professionals, problematic relationships. As a clinician I strive to bring warmth, kindness and humour to the therapeutic dialogue, hoping to create a safe, respectful, collaborative dialogue.

Welcome, courageous human. If you're feeling stuck, chaotic, or overwhelmed, I see you. I work in depth, brain-body-spirit, with those healing from betrayal trauma (including childhood abuse/neglect, sexual assault, incest) and with people who require support during life changes. My approach is clinically sound yet also creative, not just 'talk therapy.' We are also bodies, entire nervous systems, and much of my clinical training focuses on brain integration through somatic (body) awareness. My hypnotherapy work is specific-problem/issue based, and different than regular therapy. Learn more about both here: www.karenconnelly.ca.

It is inevitable that we will face times in life that are challenging. During such times, our community may offer their best support, but it can only be through the lens of their own experiences. This is when working with a therapist becomes an invaluable opportunity for insight, growth, understanding and support. Your background, values and experiences all shape your identity and how you experience the world. I am passionate about understanding your experience and offering compassionate and insightful care.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and psychoanalytic candidate with a background of 20+ years in community based advocacy and counselling. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, collaborative, and trauma informed; prioritizing the development of a therapeutic relationship that fosters acceptance, trust and compassion. My approach considers relational patterns, formative experiences and relationships between social, cultural, and historical contexts and psychological well being. I currently have upcoming availability for individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a difficult situation in your life? You don't feel like your usual self, or may be going through change or loss that has impacted you in unexpected ways. I’m a trauma specialist focusing on depression, anxiety, grief, and relationships to self and others. I will help you change your negative thinking and let go of limiting beliefs about yourself. You'll begin to understand the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and be supported to live life fully, aligned to your highest values. You may be searching for meaning and purpose or wanting to feel more satisfied in your relationships.

Life is beautiful but it is also hard, exhausting, sad, messy and temperamental. Coping with the intense pressures and stress we face can be very challenging and isolating. I believe therapy is about having a relationship where we can safely and authentically explore and discover where we tend to hide parts of ourselves, run away, and hold back our truth from the world. Together we will explore this in a manner that welcomes and supports your whole being to foster an ongoing process of self-awareness, healing and self development - and towards you moving in the world with greater resiliency, authenticity and a deeper sense of self.

You are here, you have taken the first step to reach out for support! Whether you are wanting to understand yourself better, dealing with stress or changes, experiencing mental health challenges, or need a safe space to talk. You are not alone, and together we can pave a path forward. Through the development of a trusting, safe, and non-judgemental relationship, we will explore what’s most important to you! My desire is to compassionately support your journey towards understanding yourself better, moving towards a place of acceptance, developing new and healthy coping strategies, and making changes towards your hopes & goals.

Hello and welcome! I'm a queer, transmasculine therapist with a background in health and community-based work, as well as in music, writing, and theatre. I draw upon a range of strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches in my therapy practice, with the intention of increasing my clients' capacity to safely connect to themselves and to move toward ways of living and relating that affirm them in their wholeness. I aim to be an active and supportive presence in the therapy process, and to work in a way that is guided by the political frameworks I value in my everyday life: socialism, anti-oppression, harm reduction, and abolition.

I’m an individual, couples, and family therapist. I value authenticity, curiosity, a non-judgemental stance, warmth and compassion. These values are integral to the way I approach working with clients. I believe in creating a safe space where people of all backgrounds are welcome, and where clients feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. I work together with clients to capitalize on their inherent strengths and skills, and to cultivate greater feelings of connection, authenticity, understanding, curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness in their lives.

Welcome! In my practice, I use an integrative approach to meet the unique needs of each client and family I work with.  This includes practicing with a relational, attachment focused, and strengths-based theoretical base, along with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework with clients. I incorporate modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. These modalities can help clients gain insight into their circumstances, empower them towards/reach their goals and learn ways to effectively manage life’s challenges.

As a registered psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience, my purpose is to help you uncover your true potential. Whether you are struggling in your relationship, experiencing anxiety, grief, disordered eating, or depression, I will provide a caring and effective approach to support you in creating positive change. By applying effective therapy approaches and techniques that include mindfulness therapy, EFT and anti-oppression therapy approaches to therapy, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling & meaningful life.
