Therapists in Toronto, ON

As a philosophical therapist, I offer a supportive environment in which to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as stimulating dialogue in which you will strengthen your ability to face challenges by using creative and deeply reflective thinking. The idea is to think big and come at problems from a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective. I also help problem-solve at the level of habits, when it's time to put our philosophical reflections into practice and make desired changes at the level of daily living. The goal is to discover a greater sense of possibility and to use that to live with greater clarity and authenticity.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 14 years of experience with a wide variety of clients. As far as I remember, nothing has ever fascinated me more than humans; their interactions; their mentality and how they grasp the universe. I knew far too young what I was made to do and am thrilled to be in the very profession I can see myself in for the rest of my life.

With over 35 years in mental health and addiction services, I bring a strong mix of approaches to help you find your way forward. Integrating CBT, mindfulness, coaching, insight and body-based therapies, together we will build ways that work for you. Our therapeutic work can help you climb out of whatever difficult emotional spot you're in and build the life you're dreaming of. I believe “fit” is essential and offer a free phone consultation to help determine who is the right fit for you. We work with individuals (14 yr+), couples and poly relationships, and families.

Psychotherapy for moms, from someone who's been there...The transition into motherhood can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and so vulnerable. This isn’t what you expected. Motherhood is supposed to come naturally, but nothing about this feels easy. Everything has changed - your body, your relationships, your identity. You may feel sad, worried, or angry. You love your child(ren), but you miss your old life (and you feel guilty it). You've reached a breaking point. You want to feel calm, confident, and joyful as a mother. You're ready to feel whole again. You are worthy of this, and I can help you get there!

As a social worker with more than 30 years experience, practicing individual and couples/psychotherapy and more recently life coaching, I work with people to address challenges, meet their life goals, and live more fully and in accordance with their values. I embrace the opportunity to work with clients to reach, grow, thrive and flourish in their personal and/or professional lives, and move more easily through life. I also utilize my training in Applied Positive Psychology, covering both theory and tools, to increase resilience and wellbeing.

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.

Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems.

It is my pleasure to offer private services to individuals, couples, and families. Psychological therapy is a compassionate and insightful process to help achieve your goals, find greater contentment and optimize your relationships. Drawing from over 40 years of clinical experience, I individualize an approach to best suit your personal needs and circumstances. We then move forward from self-defeating choices, painful feelings and emotional impasses.

Welcome to a space where you can be unapologetically human. I know life might feel heavy right now, and you might not know where to start. You may be carrying worries, fears, sadness, or regret. You may feel lonely, anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out. You may be thinking, “I just want to understand why I feel this way!” The reality is that life can be messy and full of unexpected twists and turns. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, depression, relationship issues, a career transition, or you are navigating a chronic illness or autoimmune condition, I am here to support you without judgment.

People just like you come to me struggling with relationships - you are trying to get your message across but its just not working, whatever you try you just keep getting caught in the same argument. Others come to me because depression, anxiety and stress is making it hard for them to cope. Whatever the challenge, my clients want a safe place to share their feelings - a judgement free zone, and new ways to cope with their struggles. I know being vulnerable is uncomfortable so I will give you the time you need to develop trust and feel comfortable with the therapy process.

My practice specializes in helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, obsessive behaviours, insomnia and other lifestyle concerns, interpersonal and intimate relationship challenges, and a sense of lack of meaning or purpose in life. I use an integral and person-centered approach, one which considers and values a person in all of their dimensions: mind, body, spirit, heart and culture.

Our emotions and body sensations offer us important insights into what is working or not in our lives. Paying attention to our thought patterns and the messages we receive from our body/mind helps us to direct our lives to increasing happiness, calm, and fulfillment. It can be difficult to do this on our own, especially at times of feeling a loss of control or intense distress and confusion. A therapist can be a healing mirror and the relationship can provide a safe connection in order to explore life issues together.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, substance use, parenting or relationship issues including codependency, anger, loss/grief or a difficult life transition, I offer compassionate, in-depth and practical support. My goal is for you to emerge from our work feeling validated and empowered. You will gain improved coping and communication skills; connect with your own strengths and a deeper understanding of your authentic self and how to make the changes you seek. Free yourself from the feeling of being stuck in old ways that don't fit for you. There are better options. We can find them together.

I support people in navigating life's challenges including helping people with career and mid-life transitions, anxiety and depression, relationship struggles and family dynamics.

Life can be hard, there are times we need some help. Whether that means lending an ear or supporting you in developing skills and strategies to tackle whatever life may have thrown your way. No two people are the same, as such each person requires their own unique approach to address events from the past, challenges in the present, or concerns about the future. I offer a comfortable, secure, and non-judgmental environment to explore any areas of concern you may have.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find that you’re simply going through the motions, questioning whether you'll ever be able to feel peace and joy, or wondering whether your relationships will ever become healthy and fulfilling. I’m here to help.
