Manulife Therapists in Ontario

Now accepting clients for phone/video! In life, we take many paths. Some paths are smooth and effortless, while others can be rough and challenging. Sometimes, on a particularly difficult path, we can lose sight of our goals, loved ones, and the connection to our inner selves. On the surface, it may feel like we do not have the strength to get through these hardships. But I believe that we can find it within ourselves to forge new pathways towards happiness. Therapy is empowering! By working through emotions, thoughts, and feelings, you can grow into the person you want to be, and achieve your full potential.

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! We are a team of Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists with decades of experience working with individuals impacted by trauma, abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and self-esteem issues. We use a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to guide our therapeutic interventions and empower people to reach their goals. We believe every individual has the power and strength to work through their adversities, and our role your therapist is to work collaboratively with you to help you acknowledge your strengths, build upon them & heal to live a happy and success.

Feeling down about yourself? Having trouble standing up for yourself in relationships or figuring out what really matters to you? I'm here to help. Together, we'll work on boosting your confidence, setting clear boundaries, and creating healthier, happier connections. I specialize in helping people overcome low self-esteem, perfectionism, shyness, and the struggles that come with being drawn to difficult partners like narcissists or perfectionists. Let's start your journey to a better you.

My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

Let’s work through the “grey” stuff going on in your life right now. I’m Julianna, an experienced psychotherapist based in Ontario. I’m a warm, compassionate, BIPOC-inclusive therapist who can help you improve your mental health one step at a time. I specialize in helping women navigate challenges related to body image & eating disorders, relationships & boundaries, caregiving & parenthood, career stress, and finances. I offer a safe, comfortable space for you to explore your feelings without judgement. Together, we will discuss the current challenges you’re facing and come up with effective ways to create long-lasting change.

While it is not uncommon to experience distressing emotions, maladaptive thoughts, and difficult life events, we don’t always have the tools or strategies to manage. Inability to cope can make us feel ashamed, alone and overwhelmed. As a therapist, I work with my clients collaboratively to build a trusting therapeutic relationship so that individuals feel supported throughout the course of therapy. I will always provide a non-judgmental and welcoming space so that you can be the most authentic version of yourself while feeling safe enough to do so.

Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with Adult ADHD, Anxiety (Generalized, Social, Panic) , and Depression. Many clients are in high-pressure or creative fields, and feel they could be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I also work with couples who feel stuck, trapped, and frustrated with how things are going and have a desire to make things better. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

Navigating the struggles of the human experience is not easy. Traumatic events, times of stress, life transitions, grief, loss, and change can be unsettling and feel overwhelming at times. With support, these situations can offer opportunities for growth and transformation. We can work together to re-establish strengths and face challenges through compassionate, client-centred, non-judgemental, collaborative goal-setting, skill development, and meaning-making.

I am an MSW, RSW, psychotherapist, and Registered Dietitian. For over 20 yrs, I have specialized in helping individuals and families to successfully move beyond the effects of a range of interpersonal relationship challenges including eating disorders. Our journey together is paced as we attend to mental health, emotional, and /or Eating Management skills-building needs.

Together, we rebuild your skills, confidence, hope, life, and important relationships.

You find yourself struggling to reach your goals and the life you have always dreamt about. The pressures of life block you from finding the freedom you crave. You feel over-whelmed with work, bills, caring for loved ones, and not enough time to do it all. It seems you are trapped. Low self-esteem, worry, and negative thoughts are stuck in your head. The truth is life can be much better. I know what it is like to feel anxious and down, trying to juggle it all to just to survive to the next day. My work is dedicated to making sure my clients don't stay trapped.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I take an evidence-based and integrative approach to psychological treatment and my goal is to create a safe space that empowers my clients, helps them feel understood and supported to challenge life’s difficulties and ultimately thrive. I believe change is possible when relationships are grounded in trust, openness, and strengths are discovered and celebrated. As I learn about your challenges, I hope to work alongside you, your child or family with a compassionate ear. Currently my practice focuses on Adult Autism and ADHD Assessments.

Are you a mom of a baby or toddler and feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of parenthood? Are you feeling frustrated with one of your children and unsure where to take this thought for fear of being judged? Are you desperately trying to break cycles of abuse and having trouble understanding your triggers? Or maybe none of this applies, but you are a mom wanting support . Either way, I would love to chat.

For the young friends at wellbe, Kamal creates a safe, supported and enjoyable environment as they navigate the twists and turns of growing up and daily life. Building strong therapeutic relationships with her young clients is her utmost priority, as she believes that together, they can overcome any challenge that arises.

Life has a way of presenting challenges and difficulties that can stop even the strongest in their paths. Increased stress, sudden changes, anxiety, unresolved trauma...each can trigger unpleasant and negative emotions that hold us back at the least and damage our health and relationships at their worst. If your emotional or mental well-being, your relationships with others or with yourself, or your ability to problem solve is out of balance – whatever the issue or stumbling block, a safe therapeutic relationship can help you return to, or develop a greater sense of ease and well-being.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by life’s demands or strained relationships? It’s time to pursue a more joyful, healthier existence. Today more than ever, individuals face unprecedented challenges that impact their mental well-being as they navigate relationships, careers, families, finances, and health. Without adequate self-awareness and compassion, these pressures can cause lasting detriment to both mental and physical health. I believe anyone can change, and I am committed to helping people find transformative happiness.

I provide comprehensive psychoeducational assessments to help parents understand their child or adolescent’s learning needs and diagnose learning disabilities, ADHD, or other issues impacting learning, social and emotional functioning. Assessments are completed efficiently and a written report is provided within 10 days of the last testing session.
