Hi, I'm Dr. Kim Edwards a Clinical and Health Psychologist registered in Ontario and New York. I am the Founder of MindFit, a leading 20+ clinician private practice, or what I prefer to call a "mental health gym". Seeking support can be stigmatizing and impersonal - but it doesn't need to be! Just like a typical gym, MindFit is designed to be accessible and inviting to anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being. I use effective, evidence-based treatments and most importantly, do everything I can to ensure you feel supported, accepted, and valued. Still not sure?

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.

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.

Do you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts? Feeling powerless over your worry or anxiety is exhausting and can also impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Worry does not have to run your life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and offer short- and long-term psychotherapy for individuals coping with anxiety, OCD, trauma, interpersonal problems, depression, and many other issues. My PhD in Clinical Psychology from Stony Brook University, New York, has well prepared me to offer evidence-based treatments for a wide range of mental health concerns. Prior to coming to Toronto, I worked as a Clinical Psychologist in New York where I continue to hold licensure.

Are you feeling stuck? Many see therapy as an intimidating space with one-sided conversations and a professional who analyzes you from behind a clipboard saying the occasional "mhmm" or "how does that make you feel". I see therapy as a space where we meet as two flawed human beings and try to work at things together. I want to help you get unstuck from painful thoughts and feelings that are getting in your way and help you find meaning.

Whether you're looking to improve your mental health, build stronger relationships, or face personal challenges I'm here to help. I see therapy as an engaging process of discovery, where I will professionally support you as we work towards your goals. As your therapist you can rely on me to work collaboratively with you to foster insight, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of your emotions and needs. My clinical practice has supported clients to face a range of concerns including anxiety, OCD, relationships issues, eating disorders/body image concerns, sexuality, gender identity, grief, depression, and trauma.

Dr. Andrea Peterman is a skilled and compassionate Psychologist who has worked with adults and teens for over 15 years.

In addition to CBT, Dr. Peterman incorporates strategies and skills from other therapeutic approaches including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness.

Does your relationship need healing or deeper intimacy? Are you seeking higher self-esteem, assertiveness or boundaries? Are symptoms of anxiety, depression or OCD damaging your wellbeing or optimal functioning? Is your connection to God important to you?

I commit to working hard to support you and your goals.

Being human is not always easy. Life experiences can leave you feeling fractured and lost. You may feel disconnected from self, relationships, work or your community. You may be experiencing hopelessness, anxiety, racing or intrusive thoughts. You may feel stuck in a cycle of behaviour that is no longer aligned with the life you want. You may feel overwhelmed and are struggling to focus or stay present. I'd like to help. Together we can explore issues, discover your goals, and develop tools and strategies to help your daily life feel more manageable and fulfilling.

In addition to anxiety and depression, my specialty areas of focus are: 1. OCD (with its subtypes) and intrusive thoughts. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a core part of the work. 2. ADHD and executive function skills building, such as time management, focus, impulse control, emotion regulation and organization.

Specializing in anxiety and OCD symptoms! Do you feel stuck in your anxiety? Are intrusive thoughts or memories disturbing you? Maybe you've tried many ways to cope but you haven't found anything that feels very effective in the long-term. Perhaps your anxiety is also affecting your ability to be present and to function in the ways that you would like to in your relationships, school or work life. If this is the case, do these issues then lead you to experiencing feelings of shame, wondering if there is something wrong with you, or questioning if things will ever get better?

Welcome! My name is Lina and I am a Registered Social Worker. Life is all about relationships; relationship with ourselves, our parents, our partners, children, friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. Relationships often bring us joy, purpose and meaning in life but can also be the source of feelings of anger, sadness, grief, worry and disappointment. I am here to help support you with the various relationships in your life and to help you feel more happy and fulfilled.

Does anxiety run your life? Are you always ready and waiting for the other shoe to drop? You fear that you won’t be able to cope and worry that you’ll lose control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Maybe you feel stuck in the past, haunted by painful experiences; churning over the same thoughts and images again and again. Imagine moving out of survival mode; being excited about life and feeling motivated by joy and not fear. Imagine being able to put the past behind you, and living fully in the present. You don't have to struggle alone. With empathy and authenticity, I am honoured to join you on your healing journey!

My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally-sensitive framework, recognizing the impact of diverse identities on mental health.

Have you or a loved one struggled with OCD for a long time? Has the OCD either worsened or continued to significantly interfere with functioning in daily life? Being tormented by excessive thoughts that go against one’s personal values and attempting to stop, control or neutralize these thoughts with compulsive behaviours or mental rituals is the cycle of OCD. The good news is that breaking this cycle is possible. Common emotions that you are probably feeling are anxiety, distress, frustration, guilt, shame, depression, anger, and hopelessness. Please understand that you are not alone as OCD affects 2% of the entire population.
