Relationship Issues Therapists in Toronto, ON

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers I believe that the first step in moving towards the life you want is to accept yourself and your position as they are. This is not a request to settle, but rather, an invitation to look at the cards you hold. Only after accepting how things are can your next steps be determined. I can provide the space for you to express how difficult things are, while the healing relationship we build together will serve as the vehicle driving change. Seeking support is not easy, and you are stronger than you think by simply taking this first step.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic setting for clients to explore life's complexities as well as to promote client strengths and resilience. Seeking therapeutic support can be extremely difficult, but the interaction between client and therapist should not be. I view the relationship between client and therapist as a collaborative effort. You are the expert of your life and I am here to support and challenge you through the difficulties you may experience.

Establishing a relationship of trust and safety is a key step in the therapeutic process. Listening with genuine interest and compassion helps to build that trust. I have been working and studying in the field of psychotherapy and personal growth since 1981. Through my own personal process, as well as my years of experience working with clients, I know the importance of listening skills, empathy, and knowledge based support. If you want help navigating a difficult time in your life, are seeking relief from depression and anxiety, or want to effect change through better understanding yourself, I would be happy to speak with you.

Hello, I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and Psychotherapist working virtually with clients in Ontario. I provide a safe and caring space to explore the struggles you are facing and guide you towards understanding, healing and overall balance in life. I work from an integrated, holistic approach. This means therapy is collaborative - you already have many strengths and inner wisdom; I shed light and guide you to identify how thought patterns, reactivity and perhaps old wounds keep you stuck. Through evidence-based, mind-body and spiritual approaches we work together so you can start to live with more balance, clarity and joy.

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.

I support individuals with challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, connection, belonging, loss, grief, and stressful life changes. Through providing warm, experiential and compassionate support I aim to create a space that is accepting, empowering and has lots of room for exploration. I emphasize a holistic approach and the importance of exploring the mind body connection in healing. My practice welcomes individuals of diverse gender identities, sexualities, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, ages, abilities, and lifestyles.

I work from a trauma-informed lens with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, loneliness and disconnection, and couples facing breakdowns in communication and conflict. In individual therapy, we explore the deep and often painful emotions that get in the way of feeling accepted, understood and truly engaged in one’s life and relationships, including exploring low self-esteem, self-criticism, and perfectionism, and the impact of lived experiences of trauma on their well-being. In couples therapy we uncover the negative cycle disrupting the relationship, helping to improve the connection and communication between partners.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Being patient, kind, and forgiving of ourselves is not usually something we learned as children. Talk therapy is not advice or guidance: it's learning to hear your own decision-making processes, noticing feelings and what needs your trying to meet, discovering your value systems, and moving forward with small deliberate changes. Together in session we will tailor the work we do to suit your specific concerns. Researching therapists, going to therapy, looking at our least helpful patterns, or deliberating on whether to stay or leave a difficult situation takes courage. I congratulate you.
