In Person Therapists in Toronto, ON

I am a compassionate and dedicated psychotherapist based in Toronto, Ontario, offering virtual counseling services. With extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I understand the profound impact of early experiences on an individual’s emotional well-being and believes in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. Specializing in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, work-related struggles, perinatal challenges (pre and post natal), trauma, shame, and addictions.

I work with individuals, families, and couples particulary from immigrant, racialized, and LGBTQ+ communities. Currently, I'm available both in-person & virtualy in Ontario and virtualy in BC. I believe that challenges and struggles people face are intricately tied to systemic and societal factors. Through collaborative and therapeutic work, my goal is to aid persons in cultivating a healthier and more fulfilling self-perception, interpersonal relationships and life experiences, alongside fostering transformative healing from trauma.

I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. I've been dedicated to the field of child, youth, and family mental health for over ten years. It's so tough to watch your child struggle and I believe that partnering with caregivers is key to helping young people reach their goals. I have extensive experience supporting clients with mental health concerns including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, loss, family challenges, parent-child conflict and troubles with school. We'll work together to get you and your child where you want to be. I also work closely with young adults to understand that amazing yet completely confusing time in life.

Hi! My name is Matt and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore the challenges that you are undergoing in your own life. I specialize working with athletes and individuals in high performing environments. As a lifelong athlete myself there are not too many people that understand the challenges that athletes face when competing in their sport. Such as balancing their everyday life to fit their sport or figuring out how to perform their best in each competition that they participate in.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and sensitivity, valuing the cultural origins of each individual. I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy that encompasses all aspects of a person's being. Understanding one's functioning and how to navigate change with serenity is an essential aspect of my approach. By combining neuropsychological and psychological perspectives, I have developed a comprehensive framework that addresses the interconnectedness of mind and brain. In my practice, I am committed to embracing diversity and promoting the dignity of each individual.

As we all aim to be the best versions of ourselves throughout our lives, I hope to join you on this journey of positive change and growth. I want to understand your life experiences, aid you in developing adaptive coping skills, and guide you towards implementing positive life changes. I strive to offer you empathy and support while also empowering you to be the best version of yourself. Some of my areas of interest include, however are not limited to supporting clients who experience challenges with stress, anxiety, depression, concerns around self-esteem/self-confidence/self-acceptance, and improving one's overall well-being.

Life events impact us. Some more than others. Psychotherapy treatment can focus on stories of what has happened, the ways in which we have been affected, and how our perspectives can change.

I specialize in art therapy, and am fluent in both Mandarin and English–sessions can be provided in both languages. Through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, client-centered approach, I support individuals navigating relationships, trauma, marginalization, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-discovery, and other therapeutic goals. I believe the therapeutic process is non-linear and there is no one approach or modality for all since we all have unique stories. I walk alongside clients to help find what best suits them while considering their strengths, needs, and goals.

I specialize in assisting adults who are facing challenges with emotional regulation and intense emotions while adapting to new challenges. My primary goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can openly discuss difficult emotions and explore effective ways to express and manage them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, relationship and identity issues, as well as self-esteem.

My therapy practice is Relationally Focused, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of the therapy: for individuals or for couples. Our sessions draw upon our experiences of the past and bring to light how these experiences get repeated in the present- often without our knowing. Whether it is a way of relating that keeps repeating over and over in our lives, whether it is the same debilitating anxiety that keeps getting in the way of our moving forward, or depression that casts a shadow over our prospects of joy; these early life experiences (whether in childhood or older) keep

I have over 20 years experience providing counselling to individuals and families engaging with a wide range of issues and concerns. I have experience with parenting and relationship issues, mid-life transitions such as menopause and career changes, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and addictions. My counselling practice is firmly rooted in a feminist anti-racist anti-oppressive framework. I consider the impacts of the social determinants of health on mental well-being and my practice emphasizes client choice, self-determination, and harm reduction.

Whether you are a young person in need of mental health support or a parent seeking help for your child, you have found the right place.

Tackling our day-to-day can be challenging. It can be even more difficult when you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or being overwhelmed and burnt out. Through the process of therapy, we will work together in building confidence and feeling empowered in navigating your own life. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable and nonjudgmental space where you are free to be yourself and share what you are struggling with.

Good People Therapy is an attachment-based online therapy clinic specialising in helping you feel more comfortable with who you are and what you want and support you in getting there. We work with people who seem like they have it all figured out on the outside, but are struggling on the inside. Sometimes this shows up as anxiety, work burnout, depression, over-achievement, attachment insecurity, perfectionism, addiction - along with the feeling that you're never quite good enough. You’re struggling but feel like you shouldn't be.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that all our lived experiences leave an imprint on the mind and body, which in turn can have a long-lasting impact on our brain functioning and perception, and affect our reactions and interpersonal relationships. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, couples therapy and chronic pain management.

People seek psychotherapy for a diverse range of reasons. Some clearly know why, while others may only have a vague sense that something is "off". To a great extent, psychotherapy is a journey in getting to know yourself better and growing as a person. To do so, beyond having some curiosity about yourself and a willingness to 'dig deeper', you need a space where you feel seen, understood and safe to explore.

To be the best possible you, it is nesessary to release old wounds and transform what doesn't work. Growth and empowerment come from increasing self-awareness and making healthier more aware choices. It is my honor to assist clients in gaining the tools necessary for positive change and shift into a healthier happier way of being. Life changing holistic eclectic approah to work on the deepest levels of consciousness.

My aim is to help clients better understand their habitual ways of being and coping, and to acquire new skills that enable them an improved ability to negotiate whatever issues trouble them and more generally the stresses of everyday life. I'm trained to provide evidence-based treatments using a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioural and dialectical behavioural therapies, as well as psychodynamic therapies.
